It is what it is. They could probably double the price and still fill the field.

Its just capitalism at work.

As a spectacle it worth every cent. The best collection of wild imports in the southern hemisphere on display make it a not to be missed event on my calender.

They should line them up for a 5 lap race! That would be a spectacle. The Superlap thing can be quali :)

But agree, with regards to entry the event certainly isnt for everyone. But as a punter it will be a good weekend/spectacle. I just hope the local lads can get some meaningful kms on their cars during the year and take it to the blow ins :)

$1200 is pretty damn expensive for 2 days but it's the spectical and atmosphere (hype) that makes it so good. Better start saving my pennies and keep the development happening! It's not that far away!

You entering Boxhead?

Club Sprint.

It's an expencive weekend though from Vic.

Sure is but so worth it!

So entry, tyres, fuel, accom etc or another OS car holiday? Hmmmm, I doubt my car would make it throught he fashion police requirement anyway :)

I have only attended the first Oran Park event so would love to spectate and barrack for Russ in his cheater spec GTSt :thumbsup:

What do yo mean cheater spec??? haha It's the same as your car only wider!

Don't you go just for the drifting Noel?

BAHAHAHAHA :rofl::rofl:

The price increase was inline with something about more track time wasn't it?

Yet the schedule/timing looks exactly the same... :mellow:

Yeh, more track time...but same number of sessions?!? errrrr?

Less cars on the track....was that a real issue last year?

Don't understandy, I'll be there in some capacity anyway. If I'm going to lay down 3-4 track days entry for a single event is something

to be seen.

i am surprised noone has jumped on the bandwagon about the entry date and conditions of entry that have been posted up yesterday?

Its an improvement, but I don't think it goes far enough. They should be accepting entries based on how fast their car is, not on how fast their entry form is.

Some sort of pre qualifier? Based on natsoft times?

I can see the merit for Pro. But Open and Club...not sure.

based on natsoft times done in the last 12 months... It wouldn't be too hard to work out what reasonably fast times are for interstate tracks. Particularly now that we've had a couple of WTAC events - you can easily compare who did what at EC WTAC to what they do at their home tracks...

People are paying to get in to watch this event, and there's more demand than supply for positions. Why shouldn't we see the fastest cars. Who wants to pay to watch a 2min Clubsprint car, or mid 50's Open Class cars when faster cars miss out just because they didn't get their entry form in within an hour of entries opening?

100% agree, for open class and club, its not even worth paying to watch if its just another supersprint, it should be the best of the best, therr are plenty of fast cars and fast drivers out there, it would be a pity for them to miss out because a average car and driver kept them out because their entry fee was in before them.

I hope the T shirts are better than the last 2 years, my 2009 one is still good but the 2010 one lasted about a week before the print fell off, I couldn't find any for 2011.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
