What can I say, the situation sucks, but there's no point fighting with each other about it. If you're going to be angry towards anyone it should be towards the WSID execs showing the awful attitude towards us, the import community that supports them.

I hope that a resolution can be made and look forward to hopefully attending the rescheduled meeting next year.

I agree that starting fresh next year is the best option. There's way too much on between now and Christmas to try and organise another day at WSID.

For those that still want to race, there's always the Sport Compact meet at WSID on December 17th ($110 to compete) or good ol Wed nights at WSID.

I've never had a go at any of these Sport Compact meets before, but since there's no SAU drag day and i've still got the bug to race, i've decided to turn a negative into a positive and have decided to enter. I personally think it would be awesome if we could get a heap of Skylines out there and make a day of it :)

Adam, excellent work on organising the refund from WSID.

Look forward to the drag day next year :D

Still think I will be away but if I'm in town I'll be out there to cheer you on ;)

I will be directly depositing from tomorrow. I've had to wait for the WSID cheque to clear in the SAU account then a cheque to be written to me, deposited and cleared in my account before I can start depositing to the entrants accounts.

Some of it is directed at us. At least they finally spelled out the rules for us but of course no admission that they have been lax in providing those rules to us previously.

"To be fair, this may simply occur through a lack of understanding on the part of the hirer" This was the closest they came.

hmmm i have to shake hands with minster tomorrow maybe i sould pull him aside and tell him what i think lol

ahh well all 11.0 and below racers, may as well sell the car and drive a stocker. To say we are dissapointed would be an understatement....were gutted!

Thats a crock of shit Adam...did you read the last paragraph...they dont even have a hiring agreement drawn up...they are only doing it now...can't wait till Canberra opens...we have a international grade track in the pipeline up here..Motorplex is behind it....they are having a blue with the RTA about constructing an overpass....a 3.5klm race circuit too.

lol 2rismo i wish it was that type of minster most likey wouldnt be as boring but i do get free morning tea :D

WSID never had any form of written agreement? On what basis was the track being hired out? Whatever rules they felt like making up at the time? What a disgrace. Alot of double standards there. They won't allow sub-11 second cars at private track days, but only allow SS and higher to hire the track with a maximum of 8 vehiclles @$550 each? So if, say, the owner of a (street-registered and driven) sub-11 ET vehicle wants to race then they either (a) must be ANDRA licenced and can only use the track hire with a maximum of 8 cars @$550 each; or ( B) they can attend a Wednesday night street meet. However, they can't attend club private days.

Doesn't seem fair or reasonable to me. The same car can attend a Wednesday night street meet, but cannot attend a private (street) car club meet, but 11.00+ cars can attend both.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
