You have already been put down as "crew" for me Scotty. Other questions I'll leave for Bomi-san.

[BOMI]

Where do spectators sign up?

Can I arrive at say 11am? No

What food will be available? YES

Is the moon round? No, its not symmetrical, but roughly round, yes


Your answers are above, Scotty :yep:


Troy :D

[NickS]

What food will be available? YES

:lmao: ... great answer Bomi. Lions Club will be catering Scotty, so I assume the usual spread will be available.

11am ??? Drag your bones out of bed with the rest of us and get there at 7:30 (or whatever time we are getting there ??? probably depends on how many bottles of Bookers Scat drinks the night before).

:waving:

[BOMI]

:lmao:

I read, "Will" not "what"

LOL

Cheers Nick.


Troy :cheers:

What is the meaning of life ?

If so, what type?

Can we change our minds along the way?

Are jousting sticks worth $150 a pair? :confused:

1 ... Yes / No / Maybe.

2 ... No idea, but they smell like Whisky & Fairy Floss mixed together, I'd stay away if I was you !!!

3 ... Yes / No / Maybe ... just make sure you bring a poncho.

4 ... Tell him he's dreaming.

:waving:

[Scotty]

I was asking on behalf of members who may not know.

Here is another one.

What time frame are spectators required to arrive?
Can they leave and come back?

[Kyle]

What is the meaning of life ?

Simple answer: 42

Extended answer:
According to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a pan-dimensional, hyper-intelligent race of beings constructed the second greatest computer in all of time and space, Deep Thought, to calculate the Ultimate Answer to the Great Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. After seven and a half million years of pondering the question, Deep Thought provides the answer: "forty-two." The reaction:

"Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl. "Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?"
"I checked it very thoroughly," said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is."

[BOMI]

Once you have your ticket, yes.


Troy :D

[Quadcams]

Once you have your ticket, yes.

Wade and everyone thats coming all tickets will be handed out at the meeting point on the morning of the race. This is the easiest way to do it and has worked before for others.

A few quick questions Troy...

1) I want to put down a mates name as crew but he may have to work - can we make changes later ??

2) My car is still stock, will anyone race me and if so am i going to get whooped ??

3) My missus is going to kick a few people (Nick & Troy) in the arse for their comments on this very forum. Should she wear pointy toed shoes or my steel capped boots that i suggested ??

4) What time do we start ??

5) As it's the first time i've raced at a drag meet for years, what will i need apart from helmet, jeans and long sleeve shirt ?? Spare undies, cold beer ??

That'll do for now... :)

Cheers,
Paul...

Would like to pull up a chair for this one :waving: .

[cosmo vyss]

I recommend the steel caps. I am sure Nick and Troy will like them. I think Troy would be used to the steel caps though. :whip:

Why is water wet?
Why is the sky blue?
When are the roosters going to win a game of footy?
Who is going to win Bathurst?
Can I have a spectator ticket?

[BOMI]

A few quick answers Paul :D

1) I want to put down a mates name as crew but he may have to work - can we make changes later ?? There are pleanty of crew and spectators passes so put his name down.

2) My car is still stock, will anyone race me and if so am i going to get whooped ?? It's not about who is the fastest its about having fun, and when bracket racing a old VW could beat the fastest car. See the "Drag racing" forum for 1/4 mile for first timers.3)

4) My missus is going to kick a few people (Nick & Troy) in the arse for their comments on this very forum. Should she wear pointy toed shoes or my steel capped boots that i suggested ?? Pointy as they will give better penattration on impact :yep: :lmao:


5)What time do we start ?? TBA and LOC TBA

6)As it's the first time i've raced at a drag meet for years, what will i need apart from helmet, jeans and long sleeve shirt ?? Spare undies, cold beer ??

Enclosed shoes, long sleevs and a helmet, brown undies are optional man !!

That'll do for now... :)

Cheers,
Troy :D:D:D

[T_Kiwi]

[choppo]

[Scotty]

I have setup a thread purely covering the WSID Track Hire Rules.

Please visit and read the rules. We desire to have a good working relationship with WSID and their staff, and would request that people respect the rules.

1) Just get the Mrs to crew mate ... how much can there be to do with your car ??? Or is the crew for you, you need someone to fan you and feed you grapes ???

2) I'll race you ... no probs. I'll even give you a head start, 300m sound OK ?

3) :hmmm: ... that's a tough one, let's go with slippers.

4) As you're in the stockie you should probably leave home around 5am, you should arrive about the same time us the rest of us then.

5) I think you have it all covered ... make sure you bring your sense of humour too.

:stick: :hide:

[FatBoy]

No, my groupies can do that mate. Just bring a towel to wipe your chin...

2) I'll race you ... no probs. I'll even give you a head start, 300m sound OK ?

Sounds fair. That way when we get to the end i can show you how to actually turn corners.

3) :hmmm: ... that's a tough one, let's go with slippers.

Like fark. It's steel caps for sure now !!

4) As you're in the stockie you should probably leave home around 5am, you should arrive about the same time us the rest of us then.

How bad will it look when i hand you your arse in the DYO bracket ??

Does this cost extra?

[BOMI]

Spam Spam Spam

[BOMI]

So far I have not received everyones details. Fellas. If I dont get them YOU WILL NOT RACE, not my rules, WSID's.

Of the returns I have received this is what's available to all those who want to come along and watch. These spots are for free, zero dollars, zilch, zip, nadah!! :thumbs:

Crew- 60 Spots available

Spectators- 59 Spots available


I will call John at WSID tomorrow and find out if I can just hand these out on the day or if they have to be allocated to a car and driver.

Will advise tomorrow,


Cheers,

Troy :cheers:


P.S Get me your details :soap::headbang: :headbang: :toetap::D

[lautray]

For those that require them, make sure your ANDRA licences are valid & current. Just checked mine & it expired on the 31st May :headbang: . Now where's that renewal gone?

[NickS]

P.S Get me your details :soap::headbang: :headbang: :toetap::D

Name & Shame on both forums Bomi ...

I can't believe people find this shit so difficult, all they need to do is advise a few details !!! Take 90 seconds out of your busy lives and send Bomi the info fellas ... no refunds for laziness.

:D

[RedVYIISS]

For those with late arriving spectators....

At last outing I'm pretty sure driver tickets and spectator/crew ticketrs were all handed to the driver at the Shell garage meet point (cnr Brabham Dve and Gt Western Hwy).

If spectators weren't present at the time they were expected to contact driver or crew by mob phone during the course of the day, crew member/driver would then meet 'em at the gate to give them their entry ticket.

[BOMI]

Spoke to WSID today and they un used Spectators tickets dont need to be allocated to a car or driver.

So just rock on up, grab a spectator ticket and your in for free. There are heaps and heaps of un used tickets.

Troy :cheers:

Good One Troy
I will be there in the tonner.
Would anyone like me to bring any or all of the following?
Air compressor, trolley jack, stands, ramps, tools, extra water containers, esky etc. The sort of stuff racers might want but dont want to carry.
Open offer for the trackchat racers.

Phil that would be great man, especialy the AC and trolly jack.

Make sure the small stuff is securable as Id hate to see anything "walk" away from you.

That's the good thing about private days... you can leave stuff strewn all over the place without giving it a second thought. Like minded enthusiasts & all that. Personally, haven't ever heard of anything being nicked at a private day I have attended ('cept for NickS nicking himself :D).

[Gilly]

3) My missus is going to kick a few people (Nick & Troy) in the arse for their comments on this very forum. Should she wear pointy toed shoes or my steel capped boots that i suggested ??


I thought pointy shoes might be better!! Oh and photographic evidence please as I won't be there to witness it in person :lmao:

Not much ... I had actual been up for almost an hour and a half by then.

Troy
Appreciate the thought, had considered it myself before I offered. Will keep all the small stuff locked up when Im not present. May think about leaving my phone no handy for people to call me if Im not around.
Other than that, you can only trust people to do the right thing.

Phil

[BOMI]

Hey mate, thanks, that will be good :yep:

LOCATION AND TIMES


MEETING POINT IS Huntingwood Dr Eastern Creek oposite the EC Tavern, turn left at the round about at the intersection of Brabham Dr and Huntingwood Dr Eastern Creek.

You will see a few cars there already, Nicks, Scat's mine and more, pull up either on the left or right or if you get there late, up the back where ever you can

Meeting time - 0700

Hand out tickets, brief drivers, crew and spectators meet and great - 0700 to 0755

WSID gates open - 0800

Car prep and scrutinising from 0800 to 0950

Start line briefing (compulsory) 1000

Racing starts 1015, finishes at 1600 :drive:

Lunch is at lunch time :lmao:

These timings need to be followed as close as possible so that it all runs on time and we get max runs at the 1/4 with minimum fuss :yep:


"Due to most of the EC industrial area being "dodgy" could anyone with young children keep a very close eye on them and for the presence of used needles. Once we are at WSID they will be safe from that filth. I am really sorry that I have to type this but this is the closest and best meeting point."

Troy :cheers:


P.S. Still waiting on details, this is no good fellas, you are gonna be very angry and pissed off when WSID wont let you in coz you dont have a ticket Remember, WSID's rules, not mine.

[bluess57]

Hi Troy,
As I'm coming from Canberra ( & YCV8),
can someone meet us at the WSID entrance at a later time? (9-9:30?)
Able to phone when about 5-10mins out.

[bluess57]

Oh yeah, can someone post a real early go/no-go/weather outlook?

9 - 9:30 !!! You are leaving home an hour later than us ... :lmao:

Don't take it personally guys, but most of us leave home well before 6 when going to Wakefield, so there will most likely be a few freindly jabs about "long drive".

:stick:

On another note, scrutineering ends at 10am, 9:30 would be seriously pushing it, I would recommend everyone aims to be there by 8, if that is not possible then I think 9am is an absolute latest arrival time.

[chilly]

Oh yeah, can someone post a real early go/no-go/weather outlook?

weather will be fine, cloudy periods,temp of 14-16

this is probably as good a guestimate as the weather boys do it

early enough mate.....:)

Yeah,yeah,yeah.... ok I'm not a real early morning person.
In my defence, traffic conditions at this time of year can be seriously hazardous down this way. Thick early morning Fog a likely problem, black ice, Snow? :shock: just look at last week.
Looking at leaving about 6:30 and its approx 2:15 hrs to get there without stops.

That's a good point ... better to be safe than sorry. I just always have a chuckle because I wake up at 3:30am every day.

:sleep:

If you are there around 9 it will be fine.

[seedyrom]

potentially a have a cheer squad of 7 or so spectators showing up.

They wouldn't be arriving till later in the morning/day.

Do I grab a heap of tickets, then go and let them in at the gate as they arrive? or will the security guard let spectators in one by one till the 50 spectator passes are used up?

[BOMI]

You get the tix Seedy then you let them in.

Troy :)
