As promised we're on a mission to keep improving Racewars and deliver more of what you've told us you want from the event. So not only have we worked hard to keep the entry fees as low as possible in addition to the timed 1000m VMAX Challenge session we're going to be recording trap speeds during the Roll On Racing sessions! This means all of our entrants will leave with verified records of their cars performance across the weekend.

We're also going to mix things up a bit and will invite our entrants to hit up a handling course set up on the runway for a bit of pre event fun the Friday evening before the event.

With the event team working towards the Racewars 2015 launch we'll have more information ready to be released over the coming weeks. Stay tuned and spread the news; Racewars 2015 is shaping up to be the best one yet.


It's that time of year again...

For our third year we think we've come up with some achievable improvements in key areas of the event that will improve the event for everyone (including us event staff). The basics remain the same as they always have been. We'll be out in Wylie once again running over 400m, 800m and the timed 1000m VMAX event for those who're keen to push themselves and their car that little bit harder and we're hoping for a strong showing from right across the WA car scene. The addition of a twilight (traffic) cone killing session should add a bit of variety to the weekend and we think that every entrant being able to walk away with some timing records from the weekend will also be a great addition to the weekend.

Without giving too much away pricing is thereabouts to what it was last year and the event reg's are only slightly changed from the 2014 version so you all should know by now what's going to fly and what's not.

It all sounds so good I might even try and make it out there this year for a look.

[TJ]

Look forward to driving up and down the return road next year

Assume my boss will be entering his GT3

[tex]

TJ plz

Dave wont get a GT3

[SimonR32]

Trap speeds for roll ons is a good idea, would be funny for one session to put them at the START line to watch the cheats find excuses for being 20km/hr faster than the other car.

Will be there with bells on again, hopefully no sheared input shaft next year :)

[BLACK HULK]

I'll be entering for sure this time.

[heavyduty1340]

In

[butters]

praying that I'm back from travels for this, when will dates be released?

[skidkid]

Twilight session is all sorts of win

Keen. Twilight minikhana will be awesome.

Tom, the sound of straight pipes bellowing into the distance will be bliss.

Will you have more than a static display this year Huggy?

excellent. Ill do my best to drown you out with the obnoxious bees in my exhaust lol.

That aside you guys were hilarious last year.

[Evoboycorey]

Will be there to cover everyone at the start line in fuel again.

[skidkid]

More accurate.

If it sounded like a tractor ploughing a field, we wouldn't have got caught

[Buckets]

It's all Tom's fault the neighbours got mad !

[200MPH]

'khana idea sounds like fun on Friday arvo. Will be there for that and Sunday I think.

Looks like Tristan has his Saturday taxi sorted then. Glad I could be of service...

[Evman]

It's that time of ye...

[patty]

Keen!

[S133LTR]

No, I wont be bringing the ute, too hard. I'll be busy talking again I believe.

I wont be racing but had an absolute ball spectating and will do again.. new inclusions sound great. Will prices stay as the were or increase again this year and if so will competitors need to pay again for a shot at vmax?

How can I get a job talking?!

[Fukushima]

Oh shit. I can just imagine captain trash talk in his captain Morgan hat!

[dak dak]

Much excitement, very enthused, soooo keen

Can't wait and hopefully I can get the friday off as well this time!

[Socrates]

Will attend as always

Do it.

[Buckets]

I'm already trying to work out what I'll do to this years course car that'll top last years effort without getting down right stupid / expensive.

[adrenalin]

I really need to make this event. Have been saying that for the past few years.

[The_Senator]

Definitely be down for next years event.. More Power.. Big Stoppers.. and just the enjoyment of seeing what the big whale can actually do..

i get the wallace tin again.............................GET IN!

[EVLO]

Recon i might actually be able to swing it this year and enter..

[dmanvan]

this is shaping up to get better and better........keen as again.. Have some friends going to some of the east coast events to spectate, be interesting to see from their POV how both compare as well as the WA contingent that will be competing Over east as well... Personally I think the other 2 events in Aust will get left behind with these new additions as the mix of what we have going on for this event in WA is awesome, Anyone should be able to have fun....

awesome to see the event put some of it's residual into growing , instead of growing it's residual...:)

[ALEX.]

Khana is a nice idea. Will actually be in for RW this year, given I have something decent now.
Super keen to Kill All Tyres at the khana! Can we have a 'Ken Block Wannabe' award?! *with bonus points for crashing

Alex, I remember how hard you pushed you standard WRX in the State MotorKhana championships

Now you have something with power and that handles well it would be good to watch

[masTers]

Scousey is going to enter the 2002 as well.

[masTers]

he better enter it or Alex will be disappoint.

Scousey pls redpond.

[Buckets]

Ask his missus. He's not got sufficent big boy pants privilages to make that decision.

[DISTRBD]

Am I going blind or is there no date yet ?

[Buckets]

Dates & pricing as well as the full event plan should be released around next week sometime.

[ossie_21]

Correct. Still have unfinished business with Subies/AWD. Targa for one...
I'll post up a driveway thread at some point.

Any news on dates yet ?

Need to organise around my swing in China to make sure i have the weekend off to bring new toy down.

We're aiming for our event launch this week so everything will be released in the next day or so.

Y U SO MAD 4 DAMO ?

[S133LTR]

Will spectator entry be open then too Buckets?? Got any more details on the specifics of standard/VIP/spectator entry pls mate??

[Buckets]

All pretty much the same as last yr. Only thing we've really done is add the Minikhana on Friday, add trap speed recording on the roll on's and drop the pricing & entrant cap back to 2013 levels for early entries.

Spectators are $25 for a weekend pass for a car load. Just had another look over the bits of the website you'll be able to see when it goes live. Spectator ticket sales are good to go. The only thing we're not doing is launching the online store for merch & sponsor product packages ect just yet.

[DISTRBD]

and drop the pricing

.

So expect to see many silvia n 31 owners enter :P

Buckets. ... are you guys going to do a loyalty reward programme?

You are rewarded by having a group of guys give you an awesome event :D

[huggy_b]

Jon will personally give your car a bikini wash after the event.

enjoy!

[adrenalin]

So what does the extra 50 bucks entitle you to ? 1000 m runs ?

[American Dave]

standard entry price of $250 does not include entry into the VMAX Challenge but for an extra $50 you can

[S85FI]

Jon will personally give your car a bikini wash after the event.enjoy!

I'll take up this offer.


You are rewarded by having a group of guys give you an awesome event :D
Same same. You pingpingpingpings are rewarded by the show we put on and the chicks we bring ;) and this year im going to do doughnuts.

[200MPH]

You know the rules: You gotta win or do at least 300 first.

"Go 300 quick or die trying". Has a certain ring to it...

If you "spin out" on the minikhana then get lost trying to turn back the other way. I dont think thats classed as donuts lol

[Tre-Cool]

is there going to be test and tune time again like last year?

Should be a good watch though, some decent cars signing up by the looks of things

[protecon]

Wish I had your confidence.

[BLACK HULK]

All signed up. Bring on RW15.

It's not all about being the fastest. Shit I'll be piloting a brick and there's no chance I'll be the fastest. But it will be lots of fun

[jayrod]

A brick with a gajillion HP :P

[Fukushima]

It doesn't matter if you have 200 or 1000 horsepower

Keeping it pegged for 1km is something you just can't do these days. And as a bonus you get to see and hear some awesome machines from the drivers seat of the car next to them. Even better you can jump in those machines and go for a ride.

[Damo 69]

What is it with WRX owners being so anti racewars, you get to pin it for 1km and have drag races.

[Buckets]

I drove a sort of stock 6 cyl taxi spec Falcon and still had fun.

The entrants mindset and their ability to "have fun" rather then needing to be #1 king dick is more important than their vehicles actual performance.

Sadly several groups seem struggle with this concept. Their loss IMO.

[Fr3d]

Entered, had a blast with the fwd shopping cart. Need to tell my b2b @ work of impending schedule change.
Need 9kmh more out of the beast to be in the running for fastest fwd. Bigger turbo, retune and some more boltons will hopefully help.

Never said i was anti racewars, I have a competitive streak, sure it would be an amazing time, but getting some results from work put in is also rewarding

No doubt I'd still have fun, rather just get the car a little more race spec worthy, after all it is "RACEwars" :P

[Macca]

Might enter..........
































As a worker

[adrenalin]

Should have my entry sorted tomorrow. So pumped.

The most bunky r34 you ever seen...and i still go ( 3rd time now :) )

[Awdsome]

Mine is in pretty bad shape at the moment anyways, needs some improvement, I don't think it could handle it to be honest :P

[Socrates]

Just enter dude

[JRecardo]

Will be putting in my entry soon, first time going after reading and watching the videos from this year. Excite

Just a basic wrx too but drag racing mates and fanging it legally for a straight kilometer sounds pretty fun to me

[BLACK HULK]

Will be fun to watch if you have a crack at the Khana in it ;)
See how i feel on the day. Depends on how tight and twisty it is. I might not get any boost for the whole thing. It'd still be fun I guess, as long as I stay glossy side up.

[Nugs]

Looks like I'm going to miss this one :(
Leave for the US on the 9th, so can't really complain :)

Don't be gay. I got whipped by just about everything, and had a smile on my face the entire fucking time. If the car is OK for playing around at Barbs, it will be fine at RW. Most of the time.

:p

It's not all about winning, I personally would just rather have a better car to perform in, each to their own though, rag on me all you want. I may bring it down I may not, was hoping my mate would take his 500hp gtr for a spin seeing as it's spent it's life in a garage :P

If your car was stolen from a Coles car park are you going to blame Coles and expect them to pay?

[200MPH]

Lol did I mention it's auto? :P



Auto?! Yeah, maybe best you spectate then. Really, what business has an auto car got at a straight line event. No one at the drags would be seen dead with an auto...

[butters]

spewin, in the UK for this one, at least it gives me more saving time and RW16 should be the go.

[crabman]

After seeing my 31 on the dyno for a simple power run last week, making not a lot of power, the seed has been planted and I really want to attend. Fingers crossed my unemployment situation sorts itself out sometime soon and I have a roster to work with to see if I can enter. Gives me good reason to get bigger turbo and retune sooner rather than later.

I have offered to personally pay for Kuek's entry on the proviso he performs a proper white person spec burnout. He has agreed so I assume you will be able to challenge him to a duel provided you make it this year.

All band wagon bullshit aside, genuinely stoked to see it on a dyno ready for Jim Richards to dial it in.

Fucking Huggy and the Jim Richards crap. Yoda / Santa / Kerry Wade can take care of sorting it. I've got no interest in doing anything with it until it's properly sorted so we'll see what the go is when the time comes closer.

Will pay Brockas tomorrow for my new Brembo VF ute brakes (fuck Collie!)

Then I will pay my entry for Racewars and see if the new box in the Monaro can handle a flogging after the last T56 decided to hate 3rd and 4th after a couple of runs.

Have been talking to John at SQP about parting out my drag car and dropping the motor into the Monaro just for this sort of thing (Just got to see if I can afford VP109)

I am going to look into dropping from 3.91 rear to 4.11 for next year as I think it will help keep the motor in it sweet spot

Not bad. I'm very very keen to see what happens at Snowy's (Snowy's is the main eastern states event now that drags all the big hitters out for a run). I'm tipping records will be re-written.

In other news we've got a brave man with deep pockets who's decided he wants to have a crack at 200 MPH (320 km/h) at our event next year and isn't messing about to make it happen. Not quite sure what to think of someone aiming for those speeds myself but what can you do...

^ scali was a bees dick off it in a 'vintage' 32 +1... temora's a bit cheeky with their slogan.... Australia's fastest runway race....... they ended up being 0.14 km/h faster than RW14 winner...... lets hope RW15 makes them eat their slogan.....................

[TJ]

Lets hope Jose and Ant go and smash their numbers to bits next month.

[dmanvan]

and looking up some info on snowy 1000..... apparently they have sloganed themselves "Australia's fastest 1000m runway sprint" ........ cmon..... hope the WA boys save some NOS for their home event in 2015

[DISTRBD]

but what can you do...

Just smile and nod while taking his cash , then remove the farmers fence for the event :)

[huggy_b]

In other news we've got a brave man with deep pockets who's decided he wants to have a crack at 200 MPH (320 km/h) at our event next year and isn't messing about to make it happen. Not quite sure what to think of someone aiming for those speeds myself but what can you do...

Julian please......

[Greg Rust]

I bet a set of 200MPH plates would fetch a premium.

[200MPH]

Julian please......

Shallow pockets and fully retracted balls here, sorry! Huggy, if your turbo is going to be doing nothing for another year, wonder if it would like giving a boat anchor V8 a bit of puff-the-magic-dragon for the weekend...

Anyways, why does someone want to have a crack at me, I mean really, that's just not called for!

[Chompy]

Hopefully I wil be able to compete in next years Racewars.
This is seriously the most attractive event to myself, definitely worth the trip!

It wont make awesome speed but thats the minor part of it, the people at the event and atmosphere is the better part, oh and the farmers daughters too!

So we finally got the deal done which providing we make it work will help keep this event viable and going for 2015 and beyond. We've got a lot to deliver to keep these guys onside and while we'll give it a red hot go we need people like us to keep signing up to race, coming to spectate, or engaging with the social media fluff to help us deliver the KPI's we need to keep this deal and keep the event alive.

I'll make a proper update post with some more details in the next day or so to bring you up to speed with shit (I've just come off nightshift and I'm keen for some sleep)

[heavyduty1340]

I have stumped up my cash again for this year!

[Buckets]

I did see that.

Currently hovering just shy of 150 entrants once we factor in sponsors cars and so forth.

VMAX is very close to full and theres still a precious few Platinum spots left so if you want to run the 1000m stuff get entered now.

(We have a team of 10 from a major workshop signing up tomorrow so there goes a whole heap more 1000m spots as well)

[S85FI]

Buckets,

Sent you a msg following from the pub conversation after karting.

Will sort out tomorrow. Jusf let mee know what I need to do.

I'll be doing a few small mods before April in an effort to try and keep my intake temps down. These will be the first proper mods for a few years so it's exciting times for me haha

Phenolic spacer plate or e85...

Downside for the phenolic spacer is you need to disassemble the blower (not hard) but you already have clearance issues, so it will raise the blower again.

I think I proved e85 works last year with my brothers car with it's little hh122/6lt combo - 269kph.

DO IT! lol

Nothing that major yet haha. Just going to go ahead with an icebox for the intercooler fluid and a heat exchanger on the return line on the fuel system. I don't expect either to make any power, but I hope the ice box improves consistency in the heat. The heat exchanger on the fuel system is purely to stop my fuel tank from boiling in summer and the fuel pump screaming its nut off in the heat.

[Tre-Cool]

unfortunately for racewars, the icebox will be useless. been there done that. :-) works for the drags, but the heat at wylie and delay between runs will quickly melt the ice.

What i'd suggest doing is tie into the aircon and use that to cool the water. That was going to be my next projecton my ve ( & future for the car I'm setting up).

[Evman]

I'm keeping the coolant separate from the ice and I'll experiment with dry ice during the summer just to see how it goes. The beauty of that is it's easy to drop the water (if I use regular ice) and refill the container again in queue just before the run (in theory). I'm happy to experiment with it.

[dmanvan]

new XR8 with SC and runout FPV running gear.... win win...... would be the fastest car there, over the KM in REVERSE..........

there is a thought there. ... reverse races. Novelty. Count me in if it happens :)

[S85FI]

Paid.

[Buckets]

Old Faithful have stepped up to the plate and will be providing the Platinum Club and Volunteer catering across the weekend.

I can see the need for food coma naps after lunch each day.

[Damo 69]

I volunteer to waste a set of tyres in the mini khana, can I have some of jme’s meat.

The question that will divide the crew... will it be in favour of warm or cold meat.....

[JME]

depends how long you leave it out for......

[S85FI]

This is like fishing. ... leave the bait out until something takes its fancy. ... ;)

Looking fwd to the food. Please have lots of burnt beans :)

[skidkid]

The issue at RW with the Old Faithful catering won't be the temperature of the meat, but if they're able to bring enough to satisfy the fat pingpingpingpings

[Buckets]

Racewars is officially part of the #fatfukracing challenge.

There's several thousand dollars worth of produce planned to be provided and given OF is very well priced we should go alright for food.

[skidkid]

You're still going to eat the entire supply before Sunday rolls around though

[Buckets]

You confuse me with Fridge Warden Brockbank.

[Tre-Cool]

What's the go with selling my entry. Thinking of giving RW a miss this year. need to spend money on actually finishing existing race cars...

[Buckets]

As per the regs mate.

If you want to privately sell your entry to someone we'll need there details to enter in to the system in place of yours. If you want to do this just get the details PM'd to me and I'll sort it out.

The other option is you can request a refund (less fees) however I'll be honest and say that we're not in a financial position to issue one because you've changed your mind about attending.

On the subject on entrants - We're still hovering around 50 total entrants shy of where we need to be to make it work and very close to fully sold for the 1000m spots so if you know anyone who's keen to come for a run give them a bit of a reminder to get it done.

[Tre-Cool]

I'll sit on the decision for another week and see how i go for enthusiasm.

I haven't even booked accommodation yet either.

[S85FI]

Tre cool if you are stuck for accommodation let me know. I'll put a thread offering accommodation in Wylie itself. I've got stuff lined up in the town centre and room for your cars and trailer with a ramp 50m away.

If only the event ran on hopes n dreams then there would be 3000 entries easy ..

[Alt_F4]

Still need to sort accommodation myself, what are the options?

[Evman]

Camp. it's cheap, spacious and MOSTLY civil. There are plenty of members around that you can set up camp with. I just take a swag and sleep in that.

[Greg Rust]

I still have the Nitrous kit, I'm still dark about stuffing my tune and torching plugs....hmmm

I camped at the caravan park and Rich was loud , or maybe it was Shannon but I did move my swag for the 2nd night and life was good :P

[heavyduty1340]

Fuck me Dave - grab a sound meter and measure my snore - when the boys and us go camping the pingpingpingpings make me sleep 500 meters away.

There is a funny story of me getting pissed at Yallingup Caravan Park years ago and dragging my swag under Dean Kemps caravan as it drizzled a bit (they had a new born baby at the time)
Poor pingpingpingpings never got a minutes sleep, but didn't come drag me away either - then fired up the Harley at 6:30am to go home - made its rounds through town lmao!!

[adrenalin]

Also need to sort out accommodation at this point.

Pending on how many trips i have remaining to China will determine how much more i can spend on the evo x. Still have to finish renovating the backyard.

[Buckets]

If we had a dollar for every dreamer we'd not have run losses these last two yr's. :/

Sadly thats the nature of running events of this type. Still if I get to see some skids, go for a ride in some properly fast cars and maybe do some skids I'm pretty happy.

I'm easily amused though.

[crabman]

Does Motul sponsorship help with the loss situation this year?

I'm amazed it doesn't sell out. How shy of selling out have the last two years been?

I am still waiting on roster for new job, still under dreamer banner :(

[Nugs]

Tre cool if you are stuck for accommodation let me know. I'll put a thread offering accommodation in Wylie itself. I've got stuff lined up in the town centre and room for your cars and trailer with a ramp 50m away.
Was great accom last year, disappointed I can't make it this year.

white bread + alcohol + too much nature (pollen and shit) = chainsaw

will bring some heavy duty decongestants this year

[S133LTR]

Snoring was too loud but no mention of my vuvuzela? Will try harder this year :)

[Socrates]

Just camp, it's only 2 nights and last year the cops were all over the people doing stupid shit anyway.

[Buckets]

Today is shaping up to be the last chance for VMAX upgrades. We made a few more available this morning and have now only got 4 left. If you want to run the 1000m you best get on it.

[American Dave]

Confirmed my usual Camping Spots for Racewars just now. A little bit excited that this has rolled around again and my car is nearly ready...happy days.
The Friday night mini-kana (Chris S Orange Beast shoot-out) out the front of the pub should be smoking good fun.

Game on Kuek.

Game on Kuek.

So many questions.....

Can Kuek keep his focus off white flange long enough to enter?
Can his car actually do a skid, thus gaining him an automatic qualification and shaking his "ginormous vagina" tag?
Are there enough coil packs in the Australiasian region to keep all the BMW's at Racewars running?
Will the Celica keep up with Kuek's South African made junker or will it be a junker shootout?

Only time will answer these burning questions.......

[Volatile Rob]

Just out of curiosity, when is the cut off for entries?

It looks like I might have the Charger in a race ready condition with in the next few weeks.

Rob.

[adrenalin]

Well looks like the only option is to camp. It would appear everything is sold out etc.

[Buckets]

Yeh. We book out pretty much everything in town prior to the dates being announced for staff accom and the like. (that being said the shire leaked dates 3 months before we did for this event so we could of been up shit creek for staff accom if people got wind of that)

[Buckets]

Rob. Entries close mid March or when they sell out.

[Cochee]

Camped last year, will camp again. Booked car in for its tune will use next paycheck to sign up

[fuzzmeisterr]

+1 for camping - have done so both years - Just out of curiousity, how early will things be getting underway on the friday?

[Damo 69]

fuck camping when competing

hired a winnibago bangbus for the win

[Alt_F4]

Do competitors have to book/pay for a camp spot, or does it come with the entry?
Any other info of the camp spot would be appreciated :)

It's at the trotting track next to the caravan park.
The shire charged a fee last year to camp but not in 2013
Police do patrols in there i guess cause of the fires in '13
It's generally pretty busy so try get there in the afternoon on friday to get a good spot near the edge

[Buckets]

Putting the team lists together this weekend.

So far we've had the following shops put their hand up.
Active Automotive
ITP / Protune
BTP Motorsport
All Star Garage
West Racing Motor Development

And I'm still talking with a few others ( I'd assume Galvsport may field a car or two ;) ) It will actually be a really good comp I think given it relys on a number of cars performing well not just one or two.

[R3N]

Will there be representatiom from Fat Fuc Racing?

Fat Fac racing transcends all levels of "Gentlemans Motorsport".

The races that comprise 2015 Fat Fac Cup are yet to be finalized.

So you have ruined ITPs chances by entering with a rotor?

Screw all this “workshop team stuff” fat fuc racing needs some silverware

[Tocchi]

Trophies up for grabs ?

[Damo 69]

I am assuming Fat Fuc racing would be awarded a giant spoon or plate which could be utilised to maintain the fat fuc style.

[Tones]

Mmmmmmm trophys....

[adrenalin]

Hmm Winnebago thing could be a goer if i can find someone to drive it up.

Didnt mind camping when younger however my back and shoulder will hate me for the rest of the weekend.

[monk_13]

Missus and I are staying in Dowerin again. The little B&B just before town. As much as Wylie based shenanigans appeal, she's a sook, and my liking for booze could well end with me not driving on Sunday. And possibly even Saturday.

The will is weak, and the arm is rubber.

[American Dave]

Good luck finding a winebago for that weekend. I booked mine back in November and they were almost fully booked then.

[S133LTR]

I booked accom next to you boys months before the 1st rw.. after the first day of the event I told Shawna.. yeah we will be needing this as long as RW is running.. consider it booked from now on :)

Team score is based off average of the top 5 vehicles from that team. ITP / Protune have the following weapons on their list.

#1 - ND4SPD
#2 - JME / Regan's old Supra (They are going to support the new owner the weekend while he gets used to the car which is handy given it's 300+ capable)
#3 - ITP Supra (Currently Australia's if not the worlds fastest RWD 1km Supra after it's 312 km/h pass at Snowys)

Then there's the rest of them.
Sheety, the CA18 S13 HP per Litre weapon, a big turbo Maloo, a couple of other reasonable HP Supra's and Skylines and my little dinky 1.3L shitter. I can't see me being pegged at 240(ish) km/h being a huge drag on their score sheet given I shouldn't factor on it. ;)

The All Star / Disney Dyno crew (Run by Marbles) says you're missing a turbo and the one you have is too small to join their team so at this stage it's you, Cochee and the YOLOtriton flying the flag for team Dardysport ? :p
