I estimated the gate figures to be somewhere between 5 to 6k on the saturday, allowing for 2 people in the parked cars I counted. What you

guys reckon?

And thatnks for clearing up several points Baron, my weekend was a hazy one, and I was doing my best to keep the thread updated via my phone.

I heard that Ian got ripped with the crowd figures from Eastern Creek. I estimated the gate figures to be somewhere between 5 to 6k on the saturday, allowing for 2 people in the parked cars I counted.

No wonder they lost the V8's with that kind of carry on.

That would so suck if it were true marlin. I wonder what crowd figure they quoted him.

i think there might have been a lot of competitors, trade, media and other types of entrys that might have sku'd the numbers a little bit if you were looking at takings on the gate but i don't think high octaine were under any false sence that they were going to make money from the day. Hopefully it went some way to cover expences but i think not near close enough. Next year i doubt if it would be as big unless the international cars want to come over on there own accord as most of the interest was generatred by the overseas cars, as long as it gets more interest then some of the other forms of motorsport although i think you are kidding yourself with generating V8 super car numbers.

100% agree with that. My main criticism of the event was not enough on track time for pro-class. the thing is people come to see the pro cars run and they invest the most money to be there they deserve more track time. especially since the nature of the cars and the tyres mean they can only do 1 or 2 hot laps per 15min session. I would have liked to see the drift time cut way down and have at least 1 or 2 more pro class sessions on the saturday. maybe 1 more session and 1 'shoot-out'.

Definitely. It was the one thing i felt bitter about with the event. Seemed like i hardly saw the Pro class cars on the track; and i saw each session.

Nice post. Cool to hear some of the stories from behind the scenes. :P

Fantastic event. Awesome cars, great trade displays, crazy aerobatics, it had it all.

Giant impressive effort from you and your crew to get your motor rebuilt in such a short time and then do a great time. Big well done to Lofty and Mark Berry to do PB,s. International cars were so fast though. Wide, light and BIG aero. Next year will be massive, let's keep pumpin this thing.

another superlap vid :D

Yep Rus getting there, big job lots of challenges with the dry sump we bought from USA made for left hand drive car.

DJRIFT send me link or pics would be good. Yes it will be ready for next year, under 1100kg, with more aero and carbon. Working on a mould to make dry carbon front bar, on the side, then front guards and rear quarters.

Panspeed times will be a difficult challenge.

Thanks anyway, but if it is just sitting there in back of pits nothing real exciting. I could go downstairs now and see it. I thought it may have been action shots from previous track days.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
