How to get there;

If you know how to get to Eastern Creek Circuit, do exactly that but use the next street on the left AFTER the usual EC turnoff. The entry we are using is not the one thats 50m from the EC entrance, its the one on the other side of WSID

Sydney Dragway is located centrally in the Sydney Metropolitan area, just 32 kilometres west of the CBD, 12 kilometres west of the Parramatta CBD, 18 kilometres east of Penrith, 13 kilometres north-west of Liverpool, and 6 kilometres south-west of Blacktown, placing it at the heart of Sydney's population and closer to major population centres than any other track in the country. Within a 30 kilometre radius live 1.6 million people.

COMING FROM THE NORTH & WEST

Those traveling from the north and west should turn off the Great Western Highway onto Jack Brabham Drive, following this onto Ferrers Road around the northern and western boundaries of Eastern Creek Raceway (ECR). Immediately after passing the south western corner of ECR the drag strip will be visible in front of you. The first entrance is for Competitors. Spectators are to proceed 500 metres further along Ferrers Rd until they come to the Spectator entrance. Those coming from the west on the M4 Motorway should turn off at the Wallgrove Road exit, adjacent to the Australia's Wonderland theme park. Turn left at the top of the ramp, proceed north to the Great Western Highway and turn right (east), and proceed 2 kilometres to Jack Brabham Drive, where you turn right.

COMING FROM THE SOUTH

Those approaching from the south should turn off The Horsley Drive onto Ferrers Road and follow the road north through a roundabout, and past the brickworks on the left. As the road crosses the water pipeline the drag strip will be visible in front of you. The Spectator entrance is on your right hand side.

COMING FROM THE EAST

Those approaching from the east should turn off the M4 Motorway at the Eastern Creek Raceway turn-off at Reservoir Road, turn right at the bottom, proceed north to the Great Western Highway and turn left (west), and proceed 2 km to Jack Brabham Drive, where you turn left. Following Jack Brabham Drive onto Ferrers Road around the northern and western boundaries of Eastern Creek Raceway (ECR). Immediately after passing the south western corner of ECR the drag strip will be visible in front of you. The first entrance is for Competitors. Spectators are to proceed 500 metres further along Ferrers Rd until they come to the Spectator entrance.

Why go to this over the WSID Wednesday night meets?

Easy, you'll get 4 or 5 runs on those nights, but on a private hire day like this you'll get about 40 runs

4. The DVD will be sent to the address you use on the entry form

5. If you want a photo printed out in high resolution on quality photo paper, speak to "Matboy" and he can sort that out after the event of course

6. Examples of photo quality can be found here; Click HERE

How fast can I go?

Go as fast as you like!

If you faster than 12.00 you need to buy an ANDRA Super Street licence (available from Aaron on the day)

If you run faster than 10.99 you'll have to park and spectate for the rest of the day (If you're new to drag racing, don't worry, unless you've got MASSIVE HP (1000hp) you wont do this)

Wow that's a lot of reading!

Sure is, it was also a lot for me to type!:D We have to abide by WSID rules, so we are doing that. Most questions that would be asked have already been covered above. If you have a question that's not answered above, feel free to ask

Forms are attached, get to it - this will sell out.

See you at the track!

Cheers,

-Steve

I have been hanging out for an SAU propper drag day for years, now that this is organised I'll be on the other side of the world :(

Bloody hell guys, have fun. This would surely be a great event.

And with the limited number of participants there should be more than enough runs for everyone to have an opportunity to get sick of drag racing for a while lol

WSID have multiple lanes to park in, so do a run then line back up the same as a Texi day.

WSID staff on the day will explain it in more detail and show the areas etc. There's nothing hard about it though, so if you're worried about being a first timer or whatever, you've got nothing to worry about. Do it once and you'll be right from there. Any questions on the day and there will be Aaron, WSID staff and club execs there to help out.

If you want to sit out for a run that's fine, you don't have to do every run if you don't want to

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
