Any of you people crossing the river for SAU Nationals?

126 days to go? I'm actually very tempted... Nice site too, hard to pull off a black but clean style :) but get rid of that view counter! so 1995 geocities :P Use GA or something if you actually want to find that kind of information :)

Accomm costs - totally in your control via the website widget. It was easier to do it that way.

Not 100% on costs yet. Going to probably have 2-3 package options. Stuff like DVD inclusion etc.

But a bare-bones pack... Trackday + Show'n'Shine, less than $200 without question. Just don't now how much less yet, and we making sure everyone gets heaps of track time so limited entry to justify people coming interstate and stuff.

Show'n'Shine is only like $5-$10 as just have to cover the security guard hire & other similar costs.

BUT there are BIG f**k off trophies for track day, show'n'shine etc. Its looking like trophies alone will be costing at least 3-4k, so it's not being done half hearted :D

All that will be put up later once classes are worked out (2-3 weels)

Pretty sure I'd just be a spectator if I went, transporting the car over and whatnot isn't worth enough to me as my stock little R33 isn't really competitive :P Although you're not sure on prices, will there be a spectator entry fee?

wow, pretty sure there's a massive story behind that which I don't know...

Not really a massive story just over imports and back appreciating the "older" cars again. I lunched 2 engines in my old 32 and it was off the road for nearly 4 years due to other commitments so I was glad to see the tail lights pull out of the drive when it left :D

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
