$100 per entrant seems ok as a price, honest thoughts are that accepted cars should be free as it a business event to make money.

Keen to see what sort of actual specs are needed to gain entry though

The reason we had a minimum standard originally is because Motive DVD paid for the runway, the event, food and accomodatio, making the event free for competitors. We kept it small so we could make time to look at each car and give them equal in-depth coverage. This also made it worth it for the workshops to travel 5 hours to Cootamundra.

I am looking to make the event larger and open it up to way more cars but charging a small entry fee of around $100 ( 2 daya at airport mind you). The TV show will stay 22 minutes long but we will make the DVD feature longer. As long as people understand that faster cars get more coverage then its ok. All cars will get same amount of trqck time though.

Thoughst please.

sounds good man,

this just gonna be drag only or will there be a skdpan/drift as well?

So JUN arrived at the runway talking the talk, but couldnt walk the walk, at the end of the challenge was still talking it up despite not even getting a time down.

To finish first, first you must finish.

Well done to the other competitors.

I was the time keeper for the Gtr Challenge and JUN did a 3/4 track pass starting in 3nd gear and went though the trap at 147 m/hour . Not a bad effort !!

It cost over $10,000 to run the event last time, of which less than half was covered by a sponsor. The rest came from my pocket. Thats right, my personal funds. I put the event on because I enjoy it and to support the scene, not to make money.

I'd love to make it free but unless everyone who competes goes out and buys 50 copies of the DVD each, then I will need to charge a nominal fee.

$100 for 2 days on a runway with more runs than you can imagine is pretty good value for money in my eyes. The amount of fun had by all makes it well worth it.

lol im sure your 450kw beast will have no trouble Steveo

i got the dvd yesty, i like it... the R35 droping its gearbox looks very expensive...

Yeah Steve o show them how a stock GTR box holds up to 450kw :laugh:

Great array of 'angry' cars Andrew! > stimulus for a nice $15 purchase.

Very fast white R32 GT-R there too - driven like a brunette 'er false-blonde :thumbsup:

Damn how did I miss this thread?

Terry you cheeky f**ker :)

Keep up the good work Andrew, I'm hanging to see number 11 and DYING for this years challenge. Last year I had a f**king ball and considering how much fun we had $100 is nothing to be part of such an awesome event.

Would be nice to see some of the talkers come and take on JUN.

    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
