RubyRS4 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I dunno, I find it hard to assimilate the two.....a guy/gal thats interested in setting their car up to run quick at the quarter is NOT the same person you find in Bunnings car park at Mile End lining up for a cuise. Well at least never has been in my experience. Maybe the latest generation is a different beast There is a large gap in between the car set up for the quarter, and the car park posers. In between the two are a wide variety of car enthusiasts (and, admittedly, hoons). You've prob read that alot of us have our cars set up for track work as well as street cruising. The latest generation lands somewhere in the middle of the two groups you mentioned above. Unfortunately, it appears the govt (Mr Rann in general) ar enot aware of this. We are all hoons of course.

Damo_R34 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well a good source let me know today that the suposed track re-surfacing of AIR was a load of crap. Seems he managed to do a site inspection of sorts only to be confronted by weeds growing through the cracks in the tracks surface. I think we both live near-ish it, let me know if you wanna go do some investigationing. Thats sad to hear, promise after promise of re-opening has flooded through the ranks to the boards of SAU, and it seems its still a long way from completion. I might garage my Skyline and get it ready for drags so when i have a kid, he can enjoy the AIR re-opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMW Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Sounds like an idea Damo. My mate said there was no security or anything. Told him to claim squatters rights on the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamageInc Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 would be good if they built a new facility and had a dedicated motorkhana/drift spot like a big open piece of road like big w carpark at monarto , but bigger of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scandyflick Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 slightly off topic, i wonder how many of those 'hoon' clampings are actually due to a person hooning? considering the other offences that warrant a clamp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ontheranch Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Crushing cars will be a big mistake. People who already have disrespect for laws and police are NOT going to learn from their car being crushed. They can still buy a cheap car and do as much damage, this time with a MASSIVE chip on thier shoulder and even bigger disrespect for the police and law. My 2c with Kent Brockman.

SLAPS Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Crushing/confiscating cars.... My concern would be the young hoon running from the cops because he fears his car being taken/crushed (left with a large debt). The hoon slams in to a family killing or seriously injuring them. Its bound to happen. Young males simply don't 'think', having studied child psychology this stupid risk taking behaviour its part of development or more so lack there of. If a fleeing hoon slammed in to my family on a Sunday afternoon I think I'd take on a personal vendetta to the person who decided confiscating/crushing cars is a good idea. Clamp the car in their drive way for an extended period of time for all neighbours/friends/family to see or force them to sell it, big fine and loss of license.

SLED Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 too true Joel.....more incentive to do runners now than ever before = more risk of innocent lives lost. some big dept heads will roll if more innocent lives are lost as a direct result of fleeing cops to avoid car crushing or confiscation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Core666 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I would be phcyhed if they built one at Osborne. The AWD project is moving down there to the multi billion dollar Techport development. I could bust drags at lunch-time! Or blow off some steam after work. +1 to drag strip, +1 to Osborne location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL was warning of doing anything 'hoonish' didnt realise you meant if there was a drag strip down this way. Well no room for it and too close to housing. All the government owns that land now and has all been assigned to businesses already... its a shame cause my house is stones through from pelican point and we rode our motorbikes out there.
