You stopped queuing with me because you kept mid fragging against their silver/gold tactics and feared the deranking

sounds like 2 guys were in a decent accident at winton over the weekend. they got airlifted from the track. neither had ambulance coverage...

people are chipping in and doing fundraisers to help cover the cost. Discuss.

 

 

Obviously its terrible, im glad theyre making a full recovery. I'm not surprised, but I also think its pretty silly that people will fork out for all the expenses that come with tracking a car yet not have ambulance coverage, or at least some sort of health insurance. or is this some of that $60 helmet - $60 head sort of analogy time?

It always amazes me that people have this free money available to throw at whatever fundraiser / gofundme appears on social media, when there are already plenty of charities before the fact that they could give to. Seems only the stuff that confronts them in the face warrants throwing money at it to make the bad feels go away. Ignorance is bliss.

And yeah, for the most ridiculous things. Like that woman who got filmed on a bus by the students making fun of her being old and ugly...so ended up with like 80 grand in cash from people who started a gofundme. All part of that society that supports the idea suing organisations for millions will fix the wrong.

yeah im not one to donate to things unless there is like a personal reason or someone I know is making an effort to support something. for eg a friend doing a run for beyond blue.

but funding someone else's mistake... its like if i get caught drink driving and then ask others to help chip in for the fine because i got no money.

Can I start a gofundme page for VWL to recoup their losses from 88e?
  • Like 3

100% of money raised, which means they got $2500 since last night.

looking at fb someone asks: " i was under the impression that when events are help at race tracks and the organisers have to organise the insurance (aasa etc) doesn't that cover things like this? " Which is a semi-warranted question, but also a bit ignorant.
Response: " AASA/CAMS insurance for is Public Liability + ambulance costs @ the track; it doesn't cover medical transport from track to hospitals and other medical expenses. Unlike an accident on the road, the TAC also won't get involved as it is not a road accident. This is why it's important that all participants read the conditions of what you're signing on for and are aware of the consequences of the activities we choose to participate in. "

the plot thickens....

Why stop there, we need one for the thousands of Chinese tipping money into crown casino and having to drive home empty wallet to a Toorak mansion

I guess that is a post from the guy that crashed?

Would assume if you can afford to track i assume a modded 350z prob can afford the medical bills

But who knows they are probably a tight run group, know each other really well so just helping each other out

Ahhh the old Aussie saying she'll be right

The other dynamic I find interesting here, that you've just put forward...would they be more deserving of the charity if they copped some lift off oversteer on a track because they were noobs, versus a noob mistake in their setup where we can retrospectively say "what an idiot, belting around semis in the wet..."

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
