BTW, to clarify, WSID set the terms and price for this hire. SAU:NSW will not make any money from this day, and it is difficult to fill due to the hire conditions.

However....we are committed to making the day happen for all of the club members who have asked for it....so please support it!

And more importantly....see if you can take home a "WSID booted me" trophy!

Hmmm, what do I need to bring home a trophy...

... I need NAWS, one of the big bottles! Naw, make it two. And I need 'em by tonight. :laugh:

Seriously though, looking forward to taking the GTR on a high speed pass!

Any entrant who is booted for running 10 or faster on our day will receive a trophy from SAU:NSW.

Each winner's trophy will be personally engraved with a message "WSID booted me out of the SAU:NSW drag day for running xx.xx. 9 July 2011"

Don't just say you can get booted....prove it and take home the silverware ;)

I love it, great idea.

Tonton, spectating is free because it is a private hire - but entrant's spectators will be given priority (it looks like our spectator allowance will be filled)

Why not enter instead ;)

Thanks John....are you going to win one?

I think spectators should be charged a fee....

if they arent coming with an entrant

So whats the go with this event.... normally names etc need to be given to WSID 2 weeks or so out from the event dont they and there isnt exactly a lot of paid up people....

yep, we will be providing the list of all entrants, their spectators, photographers and organisers in the week before the event; and yes there are still a fair few spots available.

As we said above, entrant's spectators will get priority, then member spectators, then others.

If necessary, the committee will review the event if we get close to the day and the club stands to loose significant money. The minimum hire charged by WSID is $8000 and currently we have $4200 in entries. If we are forced to cancel all entrants will have their entries refunded.

The best way to avoid this happening....is to enter and make sure we are not loosing our member's money on this event :D I think it is very unlikely we will be forced to cancel.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
