ANDRA Sport Compact Championship final moves to May 2006

Recently, the Cabin Group responsible for the Drag Combat events has notified ANDRA that it is no longer able to commit to the 2005/2006 ANDRA Sport Compact Championship Series. Citing commercial reasons, the Cabin Group advised ANDRA that they would not be continuing their drag racing program.

This will impact on three of the six rounds of the championship schedule announced recently. Drag Combat events were to be held on rounds 2, 3 and 6. Round 2 and 6 were to be held at WSID in NSW, and Round 3 was ear-marked for Willowbank Raceway in QLD.

ANDRA has already exploring alternatives to replace two of the rounds. The final round will now be the Compak Attak event at WSID on May 21st 2006.

“This certainly presents a challenge, because the series was locked in and ready to go”, commented Jason O’Halloran – ANDRA Sport Compact Director. “ANDRA is still determined to make this a win – win situation. We remain confident that the series will be a huge success, and the racers will enjoy the new opportunities on offer”.

The revised 2005/2006 ANDRA Sport Compact Championship Series dates and locations will be confirmed within two weeks, and another press release will follow to up date with more information as it comes to hand. The Fast Fours Jamboree at Willowbank Raceway in QLD on the 17th and 18th of September will remain as the opening round of the Series.

For further information please direct all enquiries to Jason O'Halloran, ANDRA Sport Compact Director at [email protected]

thats the thing I never got to race at any of them hahaha

they are more interested in putting on a show eh, can't understand that they can get 10,000 people to look at a glorified "carpark" over two days.....and no-one wants to see actual cars racing...what is wrong with this country....in the states its the other way around.....and i thought "septics" were strange

Lets see what we can do to get another couple of events happening and keep the very first Sport Compact Series alive and kicking.

Screw [cabin] and their PI$$ANT, money-grabbing knob-polishing show scene.

I resolve to not purchase another issue of Autosalon Magazine or attend another [cabin] show and I encourage you all to do the same.

HEY hang on all you people!!!! I love CABIN. They have been great to me, they were right behind me all the way throughout my rise to glory!! Trophies, novelty cheques, VIP dinners. I loved John Baremans and his mullet.

Twoogle and I have never been so happy.

This is good news and it is also bad news. bad news is that there are only three SCS events, but only two will have points available. Good news is that CABIN are not longer involved in this sport. They can have their Autosalons. Drag racing is for racers not ricers.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
