we didn't pre-enter due to the fact we didn't know if we were going to make it.....but judging should have commenced as soon as the first car was parked and ready to be looked at (my 2 cents)

Yah, but the majority of people there *could* have pre-entered if they just got off their collective asses earlier :bonk:

Starting the judging as soon as the first car was parked would have consisted of starting the judging at 7:30am ;)

Basically, I arrived at 8:30am (when we advertised that we would start taking entries) and there were already about 20 cars processed and parked in the field... WTF?!?!?! :chairshot

I then had to go through 100 entry forms, entering in the details of each car into our judging database. Even with Nick's help, this took about a minute per car. Then we needed to print off all the judging sheets, which took another 30 mins or so...

Then we had to find all the judges (surprisingly enough, they weren't as keen to get there at 4am like Wilch and Silver-GTSt were :D ) and brief them on the judging criteria and how to fill out the judging sheets.

Judging itself took about 3 hours, and then we needed to collate all the forms, and enter the results for each car, times 6 judges, for upto 4 catergories... This took about an hour.

Grouping the cars into make and model was one suggestion made (e.g. Grouping all the R31s at one end and all the R34 GTRs at the other end). Although this would speed up the judging IMMENSELY, it would see a very biased spread of spectators methinks... Some cars will get a much reduced walk-through rate if we segregated the field like this. I don't think this is a good idea.

If anyone has any other suggestions on how we could make this process faster, it would be much appreciated, as we (the organisers) would like to reduce the time taken to judge the cars as much as you guys do!!! :uh-huh:

Skylines are so 1995 :D

I went around and took a few shots, but nowhere NEAR enough as I would have liked... Also, I forgot to recharge the batteries in my flash, so I'm not expecting any decent shots ;) I'll go through them soon...

Good to see new faces and catch up with some of the old.

Toulia, thanks so much for the bread rolls mate!

You have to come to more SAU events though!!! Just cos you don't have your GTR anymore, doesn't mean you're allowed to leave us! :D Just look at me, I'm sticking around like a bad smell :uh-huh: :uh-huh: :innocent:

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
