Im in :(

I have run twice at WSID, Both times got there at 3pm and was 13th car in first lane. Got 7 and 6 runs in. For a whole 8 hours with only 50 cars we would easily get 10 runs in.

They usually have say 40(guessing) officals at a Street Meet and around 150-180 cars and i still got 7 runs in, if they only have 10 officals and 50 cars it should work out the same.

I'd come but I'd like to see another drag meet used as a guinea pig day.

Tell everyone that X particular meet will be used to gauge the worthwhileness of doing it ourselves and make sure everyone gets there.

Have a look at this weekends Drag Combat for the sad side of the story.

You could try to make it more clubby/social by getting everyone to go in convoy and arrive together so we line up together (Is this possible, I've never been?)

Seeing more than 2-3 SAU cars on a regular "off-street" night would be a good start :(

ditto...has there been any attempts to organise a night get together at the off st meets? maybe try this, and if everybody does not get to participate due to excessive turn ups maybe then, an individual day? :headspin: the off st meets have a pretty casual environment upon staging and im pretty sure everbody would still have heaps of fun....this happens almost every week... this eliminates the need to pull each others hair out to get things organised :)

as much as the whole organisation pain in the arse it is, id much rather line up against another ................... 'line

and do something with the club that i have become a member of.

unfortunatly i dont get to come on the net often enough to be able to know when events are on, but bugger me id love to go to the track with fellow skyline enthusiast/owners

Hey Jase, a little off topic, do you get the fortnightly emails with what is on?

Like I said, this is a LOOOOONNNGGGGG way off and personally, I need some confidence restored in this club/forum and it's ability to support club drag events.

For now, let the interest be guaged.

Adrian

can i ask y this idea is such a long way off????

is the main reason numbers?

if so isnt it possible to take numbers over a time frame (say 1month) at the end of the month the numbers are counted, and the cost is divided between the participants, if the price is agreed on an acceptale they money has a week to b deposited to sau, then a date is to b agreed on by all! if sum1 drops out, the cost is increased or the ppl can wait till the spot is filled.

just a though.

(i know it sounds alot easier that it probably is)

Guys, On the Fordxr6turbo forum they arranged a run between the LS1's(holden v8) and the XR6turbo crews as WSID last weekend. There was an option for a private staging lane for a group booking. This may be a good way to see the level of commitment we have. The only catch is you must prepay ($45) for each person in the group.

I can get a few people from XR6 as they seem to prefer this form of racing. I would also like to give it a so as I have never run the 1/4 on the track.

As I have not run the 1/4 before, so I do not know what a private staging lane is, but it sounded better than the normal way.

Thoughts ?

WSID would have a lead time to book.....

So... say WSID needed payment in full 2 months before the day, SAU would need 120% comittment 2 months before the event.

It would take maybe 2-3 months to gather the momentum and full / non refundable deposits.

So that means that you need to comit with "$$" 4-5 monts ahead of the day - With no guarantee of the weather and what other plans pop up for you - etc

If SAU didn't get the $4K , 2 months before the day - they would need to renig to WSID.

So - the real question is - Would you put $100-150 large on the table 5 months before the event ??

If we get 50 ppl that say yes and put the folding forward then it could happen

The problem with collecting deposits is that

a. they would have to be substantial to cover the cost of the event

b. they would have to be very far in advance

So people would be less likely to fork out 100 bucks 2 months before an event. Thats what we found organising the trackday anyway

Yes you can race with a suspended licence. Just don't tell them that it is suspended :D They won't know if you don't say as you are still allowed to keep your licence - you just aren't allowed to drive on public roads with it. :D

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
