I suggest next year we get UAS to secure a drag strip at WSID. We use the southern car park for the Show Cars. Show & Drag cars can stay up the western top side in the garages, and straight drag cars can stay at the east garages near the marshal point.

The general public can park outside on the grounds and we can call it the.

Show and Go!

now tell me if you read this you would think I meant track cars aswell hahaha sugar coat it all you like guys but honestly the idea came from tack day racers and will always favour track day people as I wouldn't race over 200m if you paid me to

Please keep track days and the show and shine seperate

Aww c'mon bu5ter...so you wouldn't have chopped all those bogan v8's at powercriuse??

come to think of it a high powered single turbo rwd car is not really suited to 1/8th mile drags on an un-prepared surface....is it?

Do you think its large enough?

Last time I ran a skid pan day it cost $1500, how do SAU cover the costs?

What if some one has a track day running do you think it will caose issues?

So its cheaper to hire Oran Park is it?

Maybe we wouldn't book the skid pan on the same day as someone hired the track

I'm not saying its a perfect idea but you asked me if I had any idea and I gave you one

If there is no track events, the venue has to be within walking distance to a bar or TAB!

Busted,

Mate again I think you missed the point, YES the Oran park car park is free!

UAS (Unique Auto Sports) would be running a track day at Oran at the proposed SNS date for next year.

UAS will allow SAU to use the car park for the SNS.

The idea has already been discussed with John (UAS owner) and as one of the SNS major sponsors, he was happy to support the club yet again.

Participation for all SAU members at the track is optional, if anyone wants to spend the $200 and participate in the UAS drive day they are welcome to do so. As a bonus John was open to the idea of $30 so a single session, for first timers who wanted to experience the track.

now, that idea makes sense to me. could help John with track day attendence (such a great day, once people see what it's like I'm sure they will want in) and help SAU with a no cost venue. sounds good.

I spent some time thinking about this and I feel this is a commercially viable outcome for both UAS and SAU. A win win for everyone

And likw Merli pointed out, I just wanted to go for a squirt after the last SNS and the F2 with a 17month old in the back was not the place. Oran park is though!

All these ideas will be brought up when it comes time to commence planning for SNS 2006 and all suggestions are appreciated - but lets keep the bickering to a minimum thanks - This is a SNS 2005 wrap up thread, not a debate over whos suggested venue is better for the next show.

c mon SAU....lets not put the skylineNats idea in the too hard basket....it can be organised Stacey, Myself and the lads from DIRTgarage have already agreed to assist....two of our crew are also DJ's and have said they would be keen to participate.

Guest DIRTgarage
i think its a great idea but will take alot of hard work form lots of people who are willing to volunteer.

personally. my opinion is that shown and shine and track days should be kept separate.

especially on such a tight budget.

this is an automotive forum with one of the largest member bases and traffic...c'mon surely people power can acomplish a 1 day event..."powercruise" has a two state 3 day event and is organised by Gup and his henchmen!

please explain why track and show days should be kept separate?

basic economics tells me that hiring two separate venues...on two separate days would cost twice as much!

I like Paul's idea.

The organisation wouldn't really be anymore difficult than what the 2005 SNS day was. The only difference is the venue would be the same as the UAS day.

The UAS "crew" would be running the trackday as they always do and the SNS "crew" do the show in the carpark.

The only downside (if it could be called that) is that i'm pretty sure teh majority of spectators at the 2005 SNS attended because they drove past Mingara and seen a heap of bling cars in a carpark and stopped by to take a look.

If it was held at Oran Park the spectators would be purely from advertising as nobody would be able to see the display from the main road.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
