Wakefield do every day. The day thats booked is the booking we could get. Currently if we drop the booking, there's a whole list of clubs who will take over the booking instantly. The bookings are really tough to get there, but for some reason we haven't been filling our days there lately.

Beats me why that is! All I know is that this club cant run events at a loss, so yeah pretty obvious what will have to happen.

The sad part is that for the dollars, you get an obscene amount of track time as there's always a smaller entry limit on these days compared to say NSCC etc who will run slightly less price (I think it was about $25) but way more cars meaning more sessions per rotation of the field eg less time per entrant actually driving as there is more groups to go through than we run.

Pretty simple when it's broken down like this; Pay about $25 more and by the end of lunch there's only about 5 cars on track so it feels like you've got the place to yourself. That comes down to us starting with less people, cars breaking, people having enough driving in the morning and just relaxing in the afternoon.

is it right that people post events that are from other clubs that may be taking the numbers strangely away from our awesome track days??

idk, looks like in the events section wakie is just another day, as there is 3-4 different wakefield days in the thread. if it was the only one itll stand out more and show to more people how special it really is.

my 2 cents anyways.

Yeah thats a very valid point - will be a topic at the next exec meeting now

The thing is though, the club doesnt run the events area, the forum does that and yeah if there's any changes made it will take ages as it needs to go through site admin

Is there another way of getting entries in apart from the forum?

Eg if you mail out entry forms to people (snail mail) rather than relying on people checking the events section or an email. Least that way they can stick it on their fridge and not forget about etc

Fair bit of work I know but happy to help

Another thought

What about opening up entries to members 12 months in advance and let them trickle in. Even have them pay just a deposit of $20 or something to stop people pulling out so readily then take full payment closer to the day

Then open it to the general population if there are spots left 2 or 3 months out?

This was raised with Christian around 12 months ago now, we were told by him, the Events Section in the normal NSW area is not ours, it is the forums, and we can't stop people posting events.

It would also annoy everyone here if we posted on another site to gain numbers and they removed our event...

You can't always confirm an event 12 months out. Bookings for this year for Wakie were done at the very end of December/Early this year IIRC.

Fair enough. But the thread went up 2nd week of feb

There is 4 weeks at least.

But understandably it can't always be done with 12 months notice but give us (members) as much notice as possible

6-7 weeks quite often is not enough time for people to organize time off. Pay for the event, finish/prep cars etc etc

Not a reflection on the current committee or anything like that, (I'm not calling you un-organised etc)

But some more notice would be nice :) and not just from the Forum, Even though we are a Forum based car club, not everyone lives on here, I'm the perfect example of that.

Like I said, happy to help by sending letters/emails what ever

editing due to my phone typing skills making me sound like a twat lol

The reason we dont open events months and months in advance is basically for the following reasons.

its annoying as sin for me to do more than 2 events at once entry wise

people get slack and think "oh yeh thats months away" it gets lost in the other tripe in the events section and they miss out due to forgetting..

prob some other stuff but i cbf using brain cells right now..

short version: enter sutton rd you fairys!

club needs website, with entry and payment stuff!

I think that was talked about a while back?

It's part way through being setup, Eric was the main one doing it, unfortunately he has a LOT of work on at the moment, and a lot of other projects on too.

Also what Dave said is soo true. Open event early = no one taking it up.

The events that seemed to fill the best were those that were opened closer to the day.

      I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.

      Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary?

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
