Kumho Lap Battle Championship Round 3 - Date & Location Change

[gregor]

Hi gregor, just confirming there are still spots available? Also, my car has a halfcage and is not registered, will there be any dramas passing scrutineering? Not sure which Type my car falls under according to the following:

Yep there are still spots available, although for obvious reasons the sooner people enter the less chance of missing out. I'll post up when its almost full.

If you are serious about entering but waiting on the car to be ready you can get your form through and pay a little bit later. It wont reserve your spot but the organiser can contact you if it's filling up and your cash still isnt in yet.

Edit: Don't stress too much about the type. If you arent sure get your entry in and we can figure that out later. Also dont forget you'll need a CAMS license, please get it arranged early to avoid hassles

Im just waiting on getting my car back before I commit funds at this stage, BUT, I picked up 2 x KUMHO V700 235/40 17 from FSPORT which was my prize from the last track day, ( I think it was for spilling the most oil........sorry)

They should fit nice on the front of the boat

Im super happy.

Thankyou KUMHO and John from FSPORT.

good to hear, thanks for giving John the shoutout he deserves for supporting club level guys like us.

That's right. maximum 100 entrants. Likely numbers will be somewhere between 80 and 100, looking for around 20-25 per manufacturer.

That might sound like a lot but it's a bigger track than wakefield and with the cost of EC you need a fair few entrants. I dont think anyone will go home unhappy with the amount of track time they get.

Yes, it is a slightly longer track, meaning to keep the same space as 48 vehicles at wakie, you only want 80 cars at EC. But as noted, the cost to hire is extravagent... And knowing the cost of hiring, from my quick sums, the WRX club will basically be losing money with 100 entrants... Unless someone is sponsoring them... Quite a cheap day for EC...

[The Bogan]

Eastern Creek is awesome, I've done days with the WRX club there, there is lots of space as most people don't go out every session, I'll get the paperwork work done ASAP then.

[Longz]

How come no passenger's allowed ?

the gf really wants to be in the car >.<

and i need her for the umm ... down force ? lol

really keen if car is not gone by then

[gregor]

the passengers decision is at the discretion of the hosting club. I would go out on a limb and say they want to maximise timed track sessions for entrants.

[gregor]

The passenger discussion is probably a bit of a detour as far as this event is concerned. Probably best to PM an exec if that needs to be followed up.

Now I've got a list of entrants as of Tuesday and we are still looking to fill a bunch of Nissan spots. If the spots arent filled very soon the opportunity will be opened and promoted to other clubs to fill the numbers. If you want SAU to get the chance to be invited to a full track Eastern Creek day in future the best thing you can do is support it by entering.

Remember you will need a CAMS license, if you dont have one get your paper work in ASAP.

[dnissi]

any chance of an entry list and an cumulative point score from rounds 1 & 2???

[gregor]

The cumulative score is very close. i went back and reviewed every time (a substantial job) after some errors were discovered and im putting them together. You should see a post tomorrow or on the weekend at latest.

I wont post up the entry list as not everyone from there is on SAU or may not want to be listed on a public forum. But if anyone wants to know if they are confirmed in they can PM me. I know thats different to the way SAU normally does things.

[fatz]

wish i could make it

ec is awesome fun with power and no grip

[gregor]

Cumulative results posted. Sorry it's a few days after I said it would be. Plenty to do lately and never enough time. <BR><BR>Also the WRX club is close to opening this up to other clubs to ensure they fill numbers. I really thought there would be more SAU guys jumping on the chance to go to Eastern Creek. If you are holding off get those entries in soon before other clubs snap up the spare spots.

2 weeks to go people. I'm waiting on an updated entry list but there's still room for some of the late arrivals. Maybe not for much longer though.

[dnissi]

PAID!

the beast is coming out to play and keep those lawn mowers at bay

[AndyMac]

The little white "EVO" will be there, I look forward to renewing the battle with the two big bad R34's (or one it appears... ..)...

I also have improved the car from dead stock last time out at Wakefield... Althou, I'm concerned about the R34's outright straight line speed and the main straight of Eastern Creek... tehehehehe...

Bring it on Skyline Boys... Looking forward to it.

return of the mac

[gregor]

There is still spots left. Looking over the entrants list there are a few GTRs including one new one, a bunch of silvias and a couple of 300/350s too.

There's also 3 hondas on the list too, there might be a few more if the Nissan guys don't get some entries in.

[Boosted Zed]

The Slot Car will be there. Keen as.

That would have been 1 big bad R34 and one mostly stock R33 (now upgraded but not attending). I wouldn't worry about the straight as long as you can hold the 1st corner

[dnissi]

just try and get towed down the straight by the slot car
