just got given some info from the gold coast bulletin about the future of the V8s' at indy..

they need to upgrade the pit area to allow enough room for the number of cars in the championship now! if this upgrade is not done then the V8s will have to be removed from the bill...

they are asking poeple to answer this question:

"Do you support a new pit area on Macintosh island to keep the V8 Supercars at indy?"

All you have to do is SMS yes or no, or provide a comment under 25 words,and SMS it to: 0416905147

you can email your opinion to [email protected]

the problem they are facing is its a park and they need to remove trees (2%) 30 trees in total, it will mean more parking for the area and the V8s' will run at indy in the future.

if you like to go to indy and see the V8s' then let them know!!

Thanks, Matt....

i think they should scrap the V8's and get the amature race/cruise community of the gold coast to replace them..............

the pit stop can be any macca's carpark and bonus points are awarded to neon's and all maner of rice. bonus points for chrome should be awarded on a 'per meter squared' basis. also, however many people you have in your car acts as a points multiplyer. ie, 2 people in the car means 2X points, 4 people means 4X points..............

hell i'll buy a ticket to watch that................at least they'll still drive like nutter in the rain :cheers:

lol you might be onto something there paladin.

But on a serious note there are more then enough hi-powered import/v8/exotics around here to put on a few good races and would compliment the indy cars nicely.

Inexperianced drivers with no race licenses in performance cars racing eachother would make for good spectator/tv viewing but I’m not sure whoever runs the show would like it :cheers:

maybe some time trials?

PS v8's should be there but only if they race after the indycars so they get rained on for a change :ghost:

Well I would have to say I enjoy the V8 supercars more than the Indys... Having been to both Indy and Bathurst numerous times, I can say the V8's provide a much more physical and interesting race... They are nowhere near as fast as the Indy's but definately more involving...

IMO

I'm with strutto, i'm a dedicated V8 supercar fan and watch every race and always attend the QLD 500 (or 300 now). I go to indy for the V8's, the champ cars are pretty cool but if there was no V8's i wouldn't go.

SMS sent!

      1992 R32 GT-R Race Car

      By bardabe · Posted

      I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.
