Dear Wakefield Park Member,

 

Please see the attached link for the Save Wakefield Park Petition which has been lodged with the NSW Legislative Assembly by our friends  at www.savewakefieldparkraceway.com

 

https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/la/Pages/ePetition-details.aspx?q=JEhjemCnHmr7OpIXen8-4w


Only NSW residents can sign (NSW Parliamentary rules, sorry!)  

Non-NSW residents can register their support on their website (www.savewakefieldparkraceway.com). They will collect stats that can used in communication with politicians.

You can also write letters to NSW Ministers and Shadow Ministers, see the Save Wakefield Park Facebook page for contact details and suggested letter templates.   

Petition closes 28 October. Why the urgency? There’s a chance we can get this issue debated in Parliament before the sitting year ends. We want our track back - so our first request is for the Government to identify an INTERIM solution to get the gates reopened. Our second request is for a long term solution to secure the track’s future (and this could take time).  


The volume of signatures we collect is paramount! At a minimum, 20,000 signatures are needed for it to be debated in Parliament. But let’s smash it even further. It’s not enough for just you to sign it - PLEASE ASK YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS TO SIGN.  

With a State election coming up in March, all candidates (regardless of party) need to understand the devastating effect this issue has not only on the wider motorsport community but also the Goulburn region. It is losing tens of millions of dollars - and jobs.  We thank you for your support! 🙏

 

Please consider signing. This is a very important track for all levels of driver and needs to be saved.

I've forwarded on this to the Bogan world of "Just Commodores" which has gained some attention

I honestly think we are flogging a dead horse, but hopefully Wakefield comply with the noise regulations required and can keep on keeping on

It will require some stiff regs, and limit open exhausts and stuff to keep the locals happy, but it's either comply or close for good, which would be sad

It's pretty clear from the local member's comments that the state government don't intend to assist; they say the track and the council should have worked it out rather than going to the L&E court.

Of course, that leaves the track with the option of submitting a new DA to council which has to be materially different than the previous one to operate a race track with additional pit buildings, which state laws will require the council to reject again.

With a state election coming up, it is possible one party or the other will make a commitment to resolving the issue, as leaving it between the track and council who have to comply with state laws won't get a different result

I've heard that sentiment around but highly doubt that is the issue for Wakie. Surrounding land is RU2 which requires minimum lot size 100a to build on. Probably some of the local land is larger than that so could be split up and sold to escaping sydney siders, but nothing like where Oran Park was, Amaroo, Calder, Sandown etc

I think the Liberals just don't see votes in fixing the issue. AFAIK Labor have not come out either way but will probably have to decide before March.

This is an automatically generated email from the NSW Legislative Assembly.

Unfortunately, the ePetition "Save Wakefield Park" will not be debated in the Legislative Assembly, as there are no more sitting days scheduled for the 57th Parliament before the March 2023 election.

The NSW Government will still respond to the ePetition and you will be sent a link to the response when it is received.

The latest email from the New South Wales Legislative Assembly on the matter.

Would anyone care to explain what this means? Wasn't the whole point of the petition to have this discussed in the Legislative Assembly?

I read this as "sucks to be you" but I have no understanding whatsoever about how these things work.

Wakefield Park or pockets lined by developers?

But the latter would only work if there's demand to live in the area. Let's be honest, not many would want to live in Goulburn if there's no race track.

So save Wakefield.

    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas 
    • Also, it is just about triangularity. The less angle, the easier it physically is to do. Think of the amount of slip you're getting, as how hard you need to push an object. More slip, equals pushing way harder. Then the ramp is how steep the hill is. The Accel is less slip, which means it takes less pushing (less slip) to get it to be able to push apart. However, the steeper sides on the decell means it will take a lot more pushing (slip) to get it up the ramp.
    • It's the angle of the ramp from the vertical. You're measuring from the horizontal. To convert, take 90* minus your angle reference = Nismo Angle.
    • I agree, thus 45 degree is the *max* force one could apply to it. This is similar to what I've seen in uh... simulations... which allow you to play with diff ramp angles. Anything higher (or lower) than 45 degree would produce less force as 45 is the max... triangley.  I would state the 1 way is 90 degree, at least this is how my brain and other ways of explaining it refer to it. 90 degree also effectively acted completely open. I realise Nismo refer to it not as 90 (or 89) but "1". So I'm not understanding the angle on which these angles are based.
