[boxheadmr]

please, you mean baby seat! not seats......

Mate, would love to come to Tassie, or anywhere for that matter, but baby comes first (for this year anyway!!)

Just think of all the brownie points I'm earning by missing so many events, surely I can go troppo next year!!

Unfortunatly you will find that it will become expected as she is used to it.

It never ends...

I would imagine hiring Eastern Creek for two days, all of the extra costs and no doubt these overseas cars would not have paid themselves to come over would explain the costs for entry. I doubt if they would re-coup there investment by entry fees alone and it would only go some way to paying the bill.

It made the decesion for me easier as i can't get that much past the wife along with a new set of tyres, brake pads and the ascioated fluid changes etc all means i will be watching from the side lines.

That and i am a soft co**

With the increased entry fees I hope there are higher prizes on offer...

[boxheadmr]

but would you be entering for the chance at wining some money or prizes?

Personally I would enter for the experience or if you are good enough for a chance to win against some pretty serious competition.

[bri73y]

Does anyone know the format (or have an idea) for the two days ?? and why there is such a price disparity between the classes ??

Does it mean that Pro gets more track time than Open, and Open more than Clubsprint ?? or do they just figure that to guys at the top can afford more ??

It'd be good to know just what we can expect for our entry fee.........

[N1GTR]

Prices have been revised.....I can't say that's much of a suprise

[Marlin]

It sure is exy, especially now I'm forced to Open class due to having a full cage and no carpet, regardless of having very few performance mods. But hey, them's the rules.

Anyways, I'll put some thought into whether I'll still take my car or just crew.

[phunky_monkey]

I was pretty shcoked at the $880, but $675 less 10% if paid before March 31st is a lot more appealing. I wouldn't have gone with the original price as it was, but will probably be entering now.

[Roy]

I have a wedding in Scotland in June so at that money i would rather sneak in a trip to Rockingham Raceway in a hired R400 for about the same money

[elrodeo666]

can anyone confirm the rumour that Tarzan Yamada will be driving the Tomei Time Attack car ??

[phunky_monkey]

I'd say he would be, he's always the driver for that car as he's a major player in that particular project.

Troy: Too jealous of your euro exploits mate, everytime I watch your R400 vids I want one that much more...

[Marlin]

For what it's worth, I know SL is costing a fortune to put on. Heck, the big screen required is something like 20k rental!! (needed as there is no time board for spectators to know times etc)

Whats up with that Marlin. I just added a cage to my car. Does that mean I have to run open?

Having a time board will be a major improvement over last year.

I was gunna be a flaggy with $880 cost for open. Now that it's cheaper I'll prob drive. I wanna see a timetable first. 2 day event should make it better value.

No it doesn't, but if like me you have non-factory door cards to allow cage fitment, then you're in Pro.

To be fair at just over $600 for two days worth of Eastern Creek madness, it's not too expensive. The amount of highly modified cars and international field ads more flavour as well!

A normal supersprint costs roughly $200 and you should get more track time at Superlap. Is also 2 days of punishment on tyres, brakes, car etc.

The problem for me is I am entered in the NSW superpsrint championship and I have 2 rounds in May already (2/5/10 at WP and 16/5/10 at EC) and I know by then my tyres will be fubar'd, brakes will need redoing etc..

So is a bit difficult for my measily budget to extend to all three events in one month. I'd love to do it, but I'd have to sacrifice one for the other so to speak. - read: SPONSORSHIP ANYONE?

As an ARDC member, I think I'll go and enjoy a free day spectating instead!

Exaclty you get what you pay for. Keep in mind this is Eastern Creek which for a business to hire is around $12k a day and this is only part of the cost for the whole show. What is expensive is running the whole show, I know it cost a LOT more than most think. Ian at Hi Octane has put his nuts on the line and if we don't get behind it, then it won't happen again. Then we go back to same old thing, open track days, close the gate when finished, no features.
