Giving it a miss sorry.

No coin & crook gearbox have put my on the sideline till next year.

ah well.

For what its worth. If any of you are thinking of racing. Get there real early. I mean really early.

I got there last time at 5.30 & I didn't get on the start line till 9.50! Even if my car didn't break, I would have only got one run (& they garrantee 3 runs by 11 too! hahahaha)

Break down of the time line

5.30 arrived out the front
waiting in line for 1.30 hours to sign the paper work
waited another 2 hours in line for scrutineering
then had to wait nearly an hour in pit lane for one run! There was 3 lanes of cars the entire pit lane which is roughly 300-350m long

I'll be going to heathcote next time. Much more organized & much more laid back! Plus with all the time waisted standing around, I could have driven to Heathcote, raced & got home.

I will say that if your only going to watch. It will be a awesome night for spectator's. Last meet had a 250 car cutoff which ended up being close to 280-300!

I may still go for a watch. I'll see though.

Tempting, but i'd have to tow the golf there...if it isn't sold by then anyway! Would be a good chance to test out the M/T drag radials!

if your dragging get in early!!!! THANKS TIM!

[MK2 GTI]

I'll be there

[Oneofthegreats]

if your dragging get in early!!!! THANKS TIM!

Yeah Very early. My cousin & his mate with a 9sec wagon got there at 2.30pm!

They still only got 2 runs! While I was waiting to do my paperwork (for 1.5 hours!), they still hadn't got through scrutineering!

Thats how disorganized it was!

I wouldn't honestly bother racing. Save your coin & lets try & organize a watercooled meet at Heathcote next year sometime

If these event's are this big, your better off watching, instead of having to push your car through the pits for 3+hours!

Ask Dom! He came down as well.

Once my car had broken & I'd put it on the trailer, I actually enjoyed myself more watching!

[WABIT]

well........ i called tim up at about 8-8:15, he just left scrutineering, drove down got there about 9 - 9:15 and he was waiting in pit lane half track....

ridiculous cars in line though! very much worth the drive to come and see the cars!!

Worth it?

Just check first mate. I think you need a valid drivers licence to race.

Part of the insurance crap they went though & why it was shut for so long, along with other factors too

[Water Boy]

Yeah true Tim, Stu and I will have to check the whole licence thingo...
