Motul Racewars 2017

[Buckets]

Well what can I say. We're back from the dead.

https://scontent-mxp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/13528188_1008368855951328_1241127553027310942_o.jp g

We’ve been kicking on in the old RW thread for a while now so given it’s getting close to the official launch period it’s time for a new thread and a bit of a rundown of the main points before it all goes public.

Motul Racewars 2017 is the event we’ve always wanted to run. The host location is by far the best of its kind in Australia, with Albany and the Great Southern Region being as beautiful as it is well resourced and well positioned to host the event while providing all who attend with the level of services they deserve. There’s even E85 on pump in town which is more than can be said for just about anywhere SOR in Perth!

The runway itself is again above and beyond what we’re used to. “The Goat Track” was 1540m x 18m of lumps, bumps and not for the faint of heart at big speeds. It was a lively strip and it will always be warmly remembered however as people got quicker and quicker we were always going to outgrow it. Albany Regional Airport is 1800m x 30m and built to handle aircraft up to Boeing 737’s. While Temora is longer at 2120m it’s also close to 3000ft higher with Albany being just 233ft above sea level. Given the cooler climate and the low altitude our density altitude coupled with the surface should go a long way to helping some of the big guys run some proper numbers.

The facilities at the strip are just as impressive as the strip itself. The airside section of terminal will be open over the weekend so there’s undercover seating, proper washrooms and even café there for all to use on top of the facilities we’ll be bringing to the event. (The VIP area should be quite impressive as well from what I can make out). The other thing most of us will welcome is grass, it’s everywhere and should make a welcome change from the dusty days of old.

All of the above I’m sure you all already know by now so I’ll cut to the important stuff.

After being asked for years to permit Drag Radials (and somewhere to warm them) we can now finally sign off on it and give people the tyre choices they’ve been asking for. Again this should help the guys wanting to run numbers and also help us keep the strip in good condition. You’ll hear “Spinning isn’t winning” a fair bit so basically if you’re just keen for skids Gazzanats is on the same weekend and just up the road and you’re probably better off there.

The popularity of Street Outlaws gave us and the crew at Forged Magazine a bit of an idea. As such we’ll be having a knock out 1/8th mile “Cash Days” competition under lights on Saturday night where just like the TV show pretty much anything goes. I’ve honestly no idea how it will go but I’m keen as hell to see how it all unfolds.

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qIqPBOq1CuE/maxresdefault.jpg

Sunday will play host to the first Racewars Show & Shine. The Great Southern Region & beyond are home to some outstanding cars and while they may not all be cut out for ½ mile passes down the strip they’re well worth having a look at.

The main game is as always the ¼ mile & ½ mile roll on racing & the headline 1000m VMAX Challenge. By the time we ran our last event we basically had this reasonably down pat so aside from a few changes to suit the new location it will be familiar to anyone who’s been to Racewars before.

The City of Albany was insistent that we ran over a long weekend so with the RW Monday being a public holiday we’re in the process of locking in a deal to run the SRT Sprint a few in here will know from the Speed Event Series in the Albany Industrial area on Monday morning if anyone still wants more seat time after 2 full days on the strip. Once we get everything locked away we’re aiming to launch the sprint to anyone who wishes to enter so you could very well just come down for the sprint if the straight line airstrip stuff isn’t your cup of tea. The best thing is even if you’re all done and dusted with racing after Sunday, then there’s still plenty to see and do in town to occupy your day before you head home.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hn3-_1Dhz4

There’s also going to be a bigger focus on the social aspect of the event. We’ve done a deal with a local historic hotel to become our official off track HQ for the weekend so when we’re not at the track we’ll be there making the most of what time we have spare. We’ll also have a proper awards ceremony and unwind session at the hotel after racing wraps up on Sunday.

If you’d rather spent time with the family or avoid hanging around the guys you chopped up and hearing about how you only won because you did a “Shannon Start” Albany has you covered. There’s an array of options for every taste and budget and plenty of family friendly options for partners and kids to go see and do during the day if they’re not keen on being trackside all weekend.

The National ANZAC Center is a must.

It’s not been easy to bring this event back to life and I really think this is as good an opportunity as we’ll ever have to run the event to standard that opens its appeal up beyond the dedicated group of guys who’ve underpinned the event previously. We’ll never forget those who supported us in the early days and we’re glad to reward your faith with the event we think you deserve.

Sorry if this all sounds a bit wanky but honestly I know the entire team is pumped for this in a way we haven’t been since the original back in 2013.
I’m lead to believe the official launch is imminent so I’ll leave the finer details for then. Regardless stay tuned.

Once again the Racewars crew has delivered. TBH I see it as a facility that Racewars deserves - it's a baller event and Albany will be a fantastic home for it.

[Phyber]

So fucking keen to get out there again, and really looking forward to the new venue as it sounds excellent! Might even check that my speed limiter is actually disabled this time.

Also looking forward to a new windscreen banner - still rocking the 2015 one. Only had one officer suggest I take it off so far but not sure now long my luck will last!

[BLACK HULK]

P.S. – Should we start a Call Out thread for Cash Days? :p

This sounds like a great idea. The whole event is going to be epic

[Socrates]

Keeeeeen

[n1ghth4wk]

Lurking for the night-time antics. I shall be the drunk skinny pingpingpingping so come say hi <3

[Buckets]

Lurking for the night-time antics.

Saturday night is going to be at least 10pm before we close the track (not too keen on running too much later in to the night as we gotta be back at the track by 6am) so that won't be a pissy night for the team and I assume it will be a similar situation for many of the competitors who'll be on the bag first up in the morning.

Sunday night will be the night to tip in a few for anyone not participating in the Sprint on Monday.

[heavyduty1340]

This is the best move you could have ever made i reckon. Albany accepts and welcomes car/bike events.
Perfect match for Racewars, participants and spectators.
Fat air
Quality track
Quality accomodation,restaurants, pubs etc
So much to do for family members not so much into the cars etc.
Thumbs up boys!

[AJjnr86]

Getting so excited, airport is only 10 minutes from my house, I will be hanging out, more so, for the SRT sprint if it goes ahead

[Tre-Cool]

P.S. – Should we start a Call Out thread for Cash Days?

bit early/hard when entries haven't been opened yet?

Also with this particular part of the event, will the same cars entered for the event be the only ones allowed. I'd save the race car for the 1000m. But i'd keen to enter the awd tow car for 1/8 mile drags.

[Buckets]

Both Cash Days are the Sprint are run separately from the main "Racewars" event. The RW reg's are far too restrictive for the Street Outlaws style 1/8th mile stuff so there's a standalone set of reg's for that and the Sprint will at this stage be run as a CAMS event.

RW entrants have preferential entry to both and both are open to non RW entrants.

At this stage I've got 3 cars booked for transport down, I'm expecting several people to bring something for the strip and something for the sprint based on the feedback so far so it would make sense in some ways for the serious drag guys to have slicks and tricks for the 1/8th mile then radials and longer diff ratio's (or a different car) for the Roll On's & VMAX.

Not being officially entered yet hasn't stopped Huggy from offering to donate $500 to both Damian and myself. :D

[butters]

Also looking forward to a new windscreen banner - still rocking the 2015 one.

haha still rocking the original 2013 one.

So fucking keen for this event, annual leave is booked. Can't wait!

I wish you all the very best I really really do mate. You've got under 200 days to convert your billycart in to something that runs, drives and makes a clean pass. I know how this goes in real life, all best intentions to be ready to race but it won't happen.

haha still rocking the original 2013 one.

2013 banner is best banner

But mine is in a box waiting to go on the wall of the theatre one day hahaha

[Sensible]

The sprint round has my attention :)

Sprint is good fun, only thing that lets it down is the loose gravelly start in the SRT yard and the transition from the yard onto the road

These aren't as noticeable in sedans but suck in my car and that is why I don't run it anymore

The rundown to the hairpin is fast and the hairpin is tighter than you think,you then carry huge speed back down the straight towards the chicane, exit the chicane into a off camber 90 degree left that has a change in surface midway and makes it trickier than it looks, short run to a left handed that opens a little and a run down to the finish line with a slight kink in it, after the finish line you need to be hard on he brakes to stop before the reentry into the SRT yard

[Nugs]

Definitely in.

[p0630034]

Can't like this enough. Already booked time off to come down!

[huggy_b]

I wish you all the very best I really really do mate. You've got under 200 days to convert your billycart in to something that runs, drives and makes a clean pass. I know how this goes in real life, all best intentions to be ready to race but it won't happen.

I'll have 4 test and tune days between now and then - no worries.

[huggy_b]

By numptys volunteering you mean people YOU have called out right..?
I called you out, 3 more numpties have called me out. Thus you are officially "numpty free" status and I said I'd run you for nothing - you're welcome.

I'll apparently have 4 grudge runs in total - we'll see how many back it up. hahaha

[Buckets]

I ain't scared. And I'll look at buying a set of radials in the knowledge that it will most likely wind up being the last straw for the current gearbox but irrespective of that I'm looking forward to either collecting $500 or seeing Braptism alive. Decent outcome either way. Fuck I might even go see Yoda and get the big boy boost turned back on just to be sure.

I still don't like your chances of making it though. ;)

[2jzlux]

Are the max amount of entries staying the same?
What happens when they are all sold, possibility of more being sold?

[Buckets]

Numbers are as they always have been for RW. The Outlaw field for Cash Days is capped for now but we'll see how much interest we get from street class entrants and adjust from there if required.

There is scope for a small amount of entrants on top of what we've always offered but RW can only "cope" with a certain amount of entrants and still maintain the fast free flowing event people are used to(plus deal with the logistical mindfuck that Scruit can turn in to). On paper it makes sense to sell as many as we can but what we worry about is turning it in to Powercruise where you spend big money to spend all day in line waiting for track time. We'd rather have less entrants and deliver more for them than deliver less to more entrants. Provided the show's good for the spectators with plenty racing all weekend plus a few other attractions we're happy.

It will be interesting to see how we go for entrant numbers and where the numbers come from. I'm predicting there will be a marginally different demographic than previous years.

Looks like a decent joint for those of us who're keen for a more laid back / casual offering given our advancing years and seemingly increasing maturity. FWIW I'm banning my brother from there for the weekend. He can go run riot with the rest of the proper degenerates somewhere else. I trust no one else in here would require the same treatment except maybe Vanuatu's Shittest 32R owner. :p

Jess, I'll try and be a good boy next year. I will try to keep my drinking to a minimum, so i don't blow numbers in the morning and have to sit in the corner in time out. (You can stop reading this post now)

Alex, keen to beep the horn as i stumble out of the ute again after a sign flies out of the tray while heading down the runway.

[DRIFT13]

Did you end up buying it?

How's it going, box needed work yeah? Everything else good to go?

Yeah have given it a new home. Have recently put some new seats in it to better match the original Brides, had the injectors cleaned and E85 compatible fuel hose fitted.
Davies Craig thermo fan controller installed and just a general service with good fluids. The gearbox is a weird one as with street tyres on it there has never been an issue.
The fluid that was put in it years ago is not the recommended so will change that soon, otherwise i'll run it till an issue arises or i get bored and feel like pulling it apart.

Will probably start a thread to document the car in detail as well as the CA powered 180 i bought for parts but am now building as a sister car.

[S133LTR]

As an s13 fanboi it will be great to see it out again and even better to see it at full noise on the track!

[2jzlux]

So with the fuel regs in previous years it says commercially available fuel but does that include c16 or is it only fuel from the bowser?
Trying to convince a mate with a mid 8 second car to come down for a run and the more shit he has to change the more excuses he has not to come.

[Buckets]

As always. We can work something out.

C16 is pushing the limits a bit but we'll work something out. Bet thing to do is get him to get in touch with us directly and discuss further.

[ola]

As for us plebs without a vehicle worth entering, any news yet on volunteering at the event? Keen to help out and still get close to the action.

[Buckets]

We're focusing on getting the last bits in place lined up so we can officially launch / open entries. (And that's getting proper soon) Once we get that bit out of the way we'll move on to engaging volunteers and so forth.

If people are looking for something to do over the upcoming long weekend in September (24th-25th) we'll be down in Albany at the The Great Southern Street Machine Association annual Show & Shine.
http://www.gssma.com.au/show-n-shine/

I believe a certain 32R may be in attendance to give the locals a taste of what to expect over the RW weekend. I'm personally looking forward to a whole lot of metal bumper goodness and plenty of big cube, big cam old school thong.

[JME]

There is a metric shit ton of regs, sponsors, dates, coding, mechandise etc to get done for the launch of the website. Fingers crossed, it launches within two weeks. AntiLag will be the first to know when it does.

[200MPH]

Doppel post

[200MPH]

Well RW17 will launch well before I get to at least. sigh ... I'm saying this looking at a stripped trans on the bench and looking at various engine bits scattered across the shed. Im only seeing 8 pistons but am desiring 2 more to kepl up with lambo baller rollers. Trying not get suckered into dropping heads off for compression and port loving. Trying, but it's kinda sad putting donk back together without more, isn't it?

In related news seems the albany yokels seem well keen from what I hearing. Including the 414 cube GT40 that will be calling me out. That's getting a solid roller cam fitted now. Guess I'm getting that head work then...

[protecon]

Might enter the baby bus just for shits and giggles.
Hopefully on corn by then anyway.

[Buckets]

Plenty of time for more cubes, more compression, bigger cam ect ect ect.

And yes 200MPH; the locals are getting right in to it. There's a shit tonne of very nice (mainly older) cars down there that are chomping at the bit to have a run. The support from the community has been so good to see.

[S133LTR]

Jon any chance of puttling feelers out for someone to change tyres at the track or in town sat/sun.?

[Buckets]

Jon any chance of puttling feelers out for someone to change tyres at the track or in town sat/sun.?

When we get around to launching proper you'll see that Clarke Tyres in Albany are getting behind us and sponsoring the event (Plus helping out with local pre event tech inspections for Albany based cars). They're an authorized Mickey Thompson dealer and will be on hand over the weekend to change tyres out for competitors. They'll have some fucking great deals for RW entrants as well so keep them in mind when the time comes to fork out for tyres. Will try and get some package deals sorted for people for MT DOT Radials. ;)

[S133LTR]

Thats awsome. Just bought some rubber but was thinking about a little bit more as Im not sure on the legs the radials will have. Will def hit them up before I buy more.

[Buckets]

The strip is as green as the grass so it will take a while to rubber in.

I'd expect that the radials will get chewed up pretty quickly with the big HP brigade especially if they're using the burnout pads to haze the tyres before each pass.

Tyres (especially radials) will be checked for wear across the weekend as we can't afford a tyre related fuck up especially given its our first run with the radials and pre pass burnouts given the tick of approval.

I'm proper keen for the sprint. Industrial area yolos are the best! Some of the usual suspects in the drift scene want to do drift demos / impromptu battles on the sprint stage I'm keen as fuck but will need to do some serious sweet talking before it gets the nod.

[S133LTR]

Up to date CAMS lic required for the sprint?

[BLACK HULK]

With my new engine on the way I'm really looking forward to stretching it's legs

[Tre-Cool]

Any update/changes on the spacer regs for wheel hubs?

I run spacers on the rear of the drag car but because the studs protrude past the hub it's deemed legal for Andra/IHRA reg's.

I've already purchased a set of 28x10x15 et radials for testing down the drags so i could compare runs against slicks.

[Buckets]

No change on spacers however there is scope to pass it under the Demo Class rules as a "dedicated race vehicle" given it's approved by ANDRA.

It's near on impossible to get a set of rules that works for everything so we focus on looking after the street focused performance guys and have created the Demo Class exemptions for race cars and classics that are outside the mainstream.

The reg's will be up soon guys so hopefully that should answer most of the tech questions.

basically 20mm version of these. need to run them to get the right offset on the wheels and prevent from scrubbing.

studs are 3.5" long on our cars for this reason.

[Fukushima]

Just get wheels that fit?

or tack weld the to the wheel

[zeroyon]

So what is the go with tyres.

Are drag radials now allowed for 1000m ?

Are the DOT slicks allowed for 1000m ?

Or should I shush and wait for regs :D

[huggy_b]

wait for regs

[Buckets]

To answer your question Zeroyon certain DOT Radials are okay for the 1000m. Drag Slicks are not permitted for anything other than Cash Days (even then for Outlaw Class only). As mentioned previously Cash Days regs are separate and less restrictive than the RW regs.


4.11 - TYRES:All vehicles must be shod with tyres legal for use on public roads, which comply with JIE, E3 and/or DOT standards. Slick drag racing tyres are banned with the exception of demonstration class vehicles. Vehicles intending to run DOT approved drag radials or circuit racing tyres must be declared at pre event scrutineering and will be required to have a suitable marking on the vehicle indicating race tyres are fitted. The use of race tyres will also be recorded against the vehicles timesheet.
4.11.1 - All tyres must be in a condition fit for purpose with no less than 50% of the original tread depth remaining at the time of pre event scrutineering. Should a vehicle enter with multiple sets of tyres the Chief Scrutineer must examine and mark each set. Scrutineering staff will inspect tyres periodically during the event and should a vehicle have tyres worn or damaged to an unacceptable standard, the vehicle will be unable to compete until suitable replacement tyres are fitted.
4.11.2 - If a vehicle is found on the day of the event to be fitted with a set of tyres which are not fit for purpose or otherwise prohibited from use at the event, that vehicle will be subject to immediate suspension from competition until fit for purpose tyres are fitted and the Chief Scrutineer approves the vehicle to rejoin the event
4.11.3 - Tyres are to be fitted to wheels suitable for their dimensions. Stretched tyres are prohibited. Refer to the Tyre and Rim Association of Australia’s standards manual for specific information on tyre fitment.
4.11.4 – All street tyres must have an equal (or greater) Load Carrying Rating and Speed Rating than the original (OEM) manufacturer’s requirement.
4.11.5 - Speed rating table:


Code

Maximum Speed

Code

Maximum Speed



W

270km/h

(W)

270km/h+



Y

300km/h

(Y)

300km/h+



The required speed rating will depend on the vehicle’s likely top speed. Competitors are encouraged to use Y or (Y) tyres. The minimum speed rating allowed without Event Management approval is W.
4.11.6 - Approved Race Tyres (Drag Radials)

Ultra-high performance “R-Comp” tyres qualify for use as “street tyres” provided they carry a relevant load & speed rating. Circuit racing slicks approved for use at CAMS sanctioned events are not recommended however may be used with event managements approval as demonstration vehicles. Vehicles with circuit slicks will be classed as running race tyres.
The use of Hoosier “D.O.T. Drag Radial” / “D.O.T. Drag Radial 2” & M.T. “ET Street Radial Pro” is prohibited.





wait for regs

Cheers Huggy; save any more tech questions for after you've read the regs fellas. As always I'm sure the release of the reg's will generate just as many questions as it answers so once they've gone public and people have had a chance to read the them and digest them we'll do our best to answer the questions you all will want answered.

Definently coming down to spectate or help out in any form this year. Sadly no worthy vehicle to enter.

Any details on timed sprint ?

Is it similar to 15 and a course setup on the runway or is it in town like have seen a few people mention ?

^Confirmation is still pending on the final details of the sprint. There's no runway yolo's this year.

[fuzzmeisterr]

The link to the facebook page from the racewars website is broken by the way (Clicking on the banner at the top) - also need more mention of show and shine on the poster, trying to convince numpty mates who are all into 'show not go' to come along. Assuming there is one that is?

The site is undergoing a major overhaul at the moment in preparation to launch so the sign up link on the FB page will be dead.

As for the Show & Shine ect ect ect we're not releasing everything in one hit; next is Spectators, then we start the push for Sprint & Cash Days entrants who aren't doing the main RW event, then Show & Shine ect ect. Still a fair old while until race day.

[heavyduty1340]

Entries will go live on Saturday 3rd September 2016. Entry for all aspects will be available (i.e. roll on racing, 1000m vmax, cash days registration, sprint, show and shine and VIP entries), as well as merchandise options. Spectator tickets will launch the following week. A complete set of the regs will be available for download. Keep an eye on FB/Insta for updates leading up to next weeks launch.

Cant seem to find where to enter?

If it all turns to shit it's Jon's event. :-)

[turboknapp]

How does one find put the entry number? Go the transaction error as well

I need to go back to the shed...

[Miggy]

Competitor #113, I'll get chopped by most I'm guessing but I still can't wait!

Very good numbers in first ~8hrs of being open!

Entries 11 & 128 for me, dad has his own.

I've entered what i think should be ready by then, but might change out depending on how drag season goes.

[monk_13]

Fucking shush you!

Rotor into 808 would cost a lot more to get it to any decent standard. Be cheaper to buy one already done. (Not that I'm looking for a 13b wagon... )

[Buckets]

I'm entrant #13 so that just mean I'm 100x better than you
I'll give you your proper number when I get near a PC eventually. #13 very unlucky. #444 much better.

[2jzlux]

How are you guys finding the competitor number?

[Tre-Cool]

What numbers are you capping the event at for upto 800m runs and then the 1000m?

[huggy_b]

How are you guys finding the competitor number?

It's over 50% filled already.




I'll give you your proper number when I get near a PC eventually. #13 very unlucky. #444 much better.

I think 98412122 is much more befitting and serves a dual purpose.

[Buckets]

All in the regs. But 200 total for the 1/4 mile & 1/2 mile sessions with 120 VMAX (70 upgrades and 50 Platinum Club).

32 Outlaw Class cars for Cash Days and then whatever we can manage for Street Class.

Sprint numbers are going to be capped under 100 for obvious reasons.

[Fukushima]

I think 98412122 is much more befitting and serves a dual purpose.

Is that the number of years it will take you to get the ute running?

[beatle]

With the sprint add on. Can I add it later at the discounted price if i just enter racewars event now?

[3BEPKA]

#51 :D

[skinkis]

Entered this morning and got #145.
Definitely seems to be filling up quickly.

[Evman]

I teied to do it on my mobile. The website worked well but if fell over when I went to pay with PayPal. I'll try again on my PC

It's in the email from noreply@racewars.com.au with the subject line [Racewars.com.au] Order Received‏‎

If you don't already have the email, give it a day or two so the RW team can catch up.

[azzada1]

Entered... Now to fork out stupid dollars to get the car ready and fast...

[butters]

entered! #176,
Vmax and Sprint also because why not!

[Fukushima]

Pov pack = instant email with #
Plat application = wait for email

[2jzlux]

i got the pov pack and Vmax and sprint because I wasn't keen on the platinum application being denied and then left with no entry.
Would upgrade to platinum you were guaranteed a standard entry if you got denied but entered on my phone and didn't have time to read the regs.

[Phyber]

Man I'm glad I bought yesterday, missing out would leave me pretty devo. Have already ordered larger injectors for the boat and plan to get a PB - still going to be middle of the pack somewhere though, nothing major.

I'm equally excited for the sprint - I was worried I'd shred my tyres on the airport in Wylie so didn't bother, but having it on the Monday will suit me nicely and should be a hell of a lot of fun! Will probably be bottom 10% on that one, car does not corner anywhere near as well as most that I expect will be competing, but I'm going to place in top 10% for enjoyment level hahaha

[Evman]

#194. That was close.

http://i.imgur.com/batu7BL.png

[Phyber]

lol fuck

Think a mate is going to miss out :(

Maybe I can get him to enter the sprint at least...he's got a stock AMG A45 which will probably beat me around the track :)

[Buckets]

Once it "sells out" anyone else goes on a reserve list and will be added in as we can (if people drop out and so forth).

Actually a bit blown away by it all TBH.

Theres a few spots the computer has doubled up on ect ect so when we work all that out there should be a few extra spots open back up. Not panic stations yet if you're not entered but still wouldn't hang about.

[Macca]

Hope my volunteer spot doesn't get taken :)

[-Luke-]

Competitor #201 does that make me a reserve or just a flow on from double ups?

[beatle]

Filling fucking fast.
Hit panic stations and entered without prior approval from mininster of finance

I definitely entered twice for 2 cars, but im only interested in the 1000m stuff again.

[S85FI]

Entered -

Now to fit new diff gears ( they been sitting in the shed for almost 2 years
Hopefully fixed my fueling issue
USA now sells high volume fuel pump conversion kits that swap into factory tank fitting ( not that I know I'm running out of fuel..computer says I'm still running at 97 psi

[gtfozza]

Entered round lunch time keen as espically with the sprint this year

[JME]

Well, we've sold out the allocation of 200 and the buffer of an extra 20. There will be scope for more once we fine tune the list but the reserve applications are coming through thick and fast. Holy fucking batshit its been intense!

[Tre-Cool]

Decent track, Decent amenities and a long weekend. Not surprising really.

Well Done

[beatle]

How many took the VMax option?

[JME]

Can't say yet, will know in the next 48 hours.

[urabus]

Platinum entry in. Im bringing two cars. The maloo for the runway and 'ho for the sprint.

Brendon

[Phyber]

Cunning idea to listen to the banter and add an option for black sticker pack - hands up who else paid extra for them? :)

[Buckets]

I personally hate the two sticker pack thing as it makes the logicstics of it all a right mess and Gavins whisky bill keeps going up and up when we ask for silly things.

However people want it so make it happen I guess.

Also of note for those who are interested based on my last update Speedhunters are sending 2 of their guys over for the event and will also be chasing a fair few feature cars to shoot as well while they're over this way...

What a fucking weekend, huge effort by the Jamie, Jess & Mr Copley to get it all done. I need another beer.

[S85FI]

Nope.... wog tight ass kicked in. If platinum looks good this year I'll lash out the following and hopefully have an understanding how to fit cams and a 5.5lt stoker in the car.

At the risk of sounding like a pingpingpingping 220 would be enough wouldnt it.? Any more and you would start to reduce track time surely.

[Damo 69]

has usually been around the 220 mark for entrants hasn't it?

wait time hasn't been too bad for runs

[Alt_F4]

has usually been around the 220 mark for entrants hasn't it?

wait time hasn't been too bad for runs
VMAX wasn't great for non-VIP... it was taking around an hour per run when I did it.

Rest of event was no problem though.

[S85FI]

Gutted i wont be able to run you again dude.

Keen to go for a spin again if you have a spare available.

I won't feel so bad if you don't run me......so much fun when you almost get "pipped ". However Albany runway is top notch so I expect rear wheel drive are to get far better traction next year.

You are always welcome for a spin.

[S85FI]

VMAX wasn't great for non-VIP... it was taking around an hour per run when I did it.

Rest of event was no problem though.

Hopefully with a better run way and more room for storage capacity on the runway hopefully faster discharge rates of cars lining up. Fingers crossed.

[ONETEN]

Panic entered on Sat night after seeing 50% had sold, was originally planning to wait a month or two, then realized I had no pics of car on new phone except for one from behind in a driveway, no engine and mismatched wheels, almost waited till Monday to get a better pic, didn't and got entrant #144, epic relief I did not wait.

Considering how much a of a wild ride the sign up was I am very much looking forward to the event itself.

[Buckets]

At the risk of sounding like a pingpingpingping 220 would be enough wouldnt it.? Any more and you would start to reduce track time surely.
Correct which is why its capped at that number. Even with the current numbers I'd expect staging times to be a little longer than previous yr's factoring in the burnout pad and so forth so while it would be great to get some additional money to help make up for the losses of previous yrs we all agree we'll fuck the events vibe by overselling.

[200MPH]

Well, I was away for the weekend and found out it was selling out quick only when I got back. So waitlisted. No panic I figure. This far out from an event there will always be heaps of dropouts, due to things not being built in time, things busting beforehand and the general 'gunna' factor.

Then again I could be wrong and have to spectate again...

[Fukushima]

you can have my standard entry with vmax right now for $1330

[S133LTR]

Good profit but thats only a tenth of the cost of your new engine set up though.

[DISTRBD]

burnout pad .

Toss that idea in the bin :)

WELL! was hoping to have the chaser going by now so i was confident to enter but they sold so fast!
congrats RW Team on the super fast sell!
will be there to watch :)

[heavyduty1340]

Had some new rubber put on rims for the VF - Will probably be my choice for Racewars

In the next few weeks I will get them on the ute, have a wheel alignment done and try a couple of shake down runs on a private track.
I reckon a few runs at 24 to 25 seconds would replicate a full run at Racewars.

I would love to do that on a dyno first to see how the AFR's go first.


245x 19 front, and 275 x 19 rears

FWIW - I had a set of those AO50's on the FD at the media shoot day. Basically useless cold. Hopefully wake up with a bit pre warming.

And yes there will be no PN8 the runway or we're in all kinds of trouble.

[Tocchi]

Ideally something with a softer sidewall would be better for this event

some spastic blown 500 cube Gemini from a shed in Albany

[thommo]

Photo of each car, with rough power figure written on it. Rounded down for all those 799hp cars

[azzada1]

Photo of my car was terrible, and "current" HP figure would make me the laughing stock lol.. but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the competition

[turboknapp]

Entrant 19 is the highest I will get all RW Wkend haha

[beatle]

Im only making about 320rwhp from my 1jz. Keen for runs against similar RB's etc.

[S85FI]

Photo of my car was terrible,

I used one that Brockas took of my car at Collie. ... still has antilag watermark. .... maybe I should of asked first. ... ;)

[Phyber]

Yeah best pic of mine was from RW15 :) Cheers to the champ "Photographs by W" for the pic.

[heavyduty1340]

I just grabbed a quick on from photobucket of mine outside shed at work - was caught out wanting to enter early, and wasnt going to fark around getting an up to date pic of it.

[Oversteer]

Just seen the schedule.....any chance of running "cash days" after Sundays VMAx ?...maybe a final for cashdays ! Would love to have a crack at it...but is it worth risking car before main event.

That's the beauty of cash days. Gotta put your car on the line and risk having to fix it while the rest of us are at earl of Spencer.

Anyway just seen the nurofen zavance ad. I'm going to get hookups for "more speed"

I don't care about breaking it at cash days....but only after its done what i'm going to rw for...1000m event.

[huggy_b]

Put the Torrie in cash days and leave the WRX to run the 1000m?

[Oversteer]

lol need another car trailer, drag radials... stalled transbraked auto... big weekend !

[skinkis]

Not sure if I've missed it or not, but will there be a possibility to leave the car at the airport over night, or will we have to bring the car with us back to our accommodation each night?

[S133LTR]

How else will you pull mainys through Albany if you dont take the car back at night?

[Buckets]

Current competitor list is basically sorted. We are going to email everyone soonish to get some more information around them, their vehicle, their plans for the event ect ect so we can stage people properly to avoid the lower powered guys getting hosed time in time out plus give the Racewars Radio muppets some shit to babble on about. If you want to resubmit your cars pic the reply email would be the time to do so as the gallery will go up then.

Cash Days has to be on Saturday night due to us needing to open the airport up again Sunday evening.

Theres going to be a few tweeks to the plan announced shortly to maximize racing time given we've wound up with more entrants than we planned for. Should keep everyone happy.

Cars can't be left at the airport at this stage but it's being looked at.

Pretty much all of us are flat knacker at the moment so we're going as fast as we can with things. The sell out really took us by suprise and given the size of the reserve list we werent the only ones not expecting it either.

[Riggs]

Racewars Radio muppets will babble regardless.

Everyone is a target.

[heavyduty1340]

Could trailers be left at strip?

[bigbill5]

morning might show very light trailers or vanishing ones...

[TJ]

Once I have confirmed some details might have storage for a few - not affiliated with the event but on site and secure.

[DCIEVE]

Would be very keen for secure car storage. Rental house has carport only 😕

[Sensible]

Would be very keen for secure car storage. Rental house has carport only 😕

I wouldn't be so put off by this,

Goto the Albany around the houses event and see all the cars parked up outside houses and on the road, the place we hire each year has 6 cars and car trailers parked on the grass/drive and next door

Purely shit stir post, I'm wanting to see the cars, the banter and the impulse purchases that follow

[Buckets]

This latest RW owes me about 8k currently according to my .xls not including my time. I will see a bit of it back but nowhere near all of it let alone get fair value for the time invested.

It's lost a reasonable amount money year on year and is only alive because the people behind it and key partners have been willing to keep tipping in or forgive debts ect ect.

We do it simply because we like doing it. There's no financial incentive to do RW and anyone who knows the back end of the event will vouch for that.

The end.

Not having a dig but events like this cost ALL involved....... although with the change in venue I do think that the racewars team will be well rewarded for their efforts.....in future years....

I would say that if you are doing it for 8K you are doing it on a budget.... most RW competitors would spend that and some..... :rolleyes:

LOL, not sure you quite get it.......the events costs way more than $8000. After its all said and done Jon has personally tipped $8000 of his own money in to settle the event costs after entry fees and sponsorship money is gone. It's running at a fair loss.

Sounds like negative gearing. .. I'm a low income earner and pay little to no tax but on paper seem to be wealthy? Now.... that Lambo would make an excellent tax deduction on a failing business? ;)

Need DW to give you some tips on how to make your profits grow ...

[heavyduty1340]

This latest RW owes me about 8k currently according to my .xls not including my time. I will see a bit of it back but nowhere near all of it let alone get fair value for the time invested.

It's lost a reasonable amount money year on year and is only alive because the people behind it and key partners have been willing to keep tipping in or forgive debts ect ect.

We do it simply because we like doing it. There's no financial incentive to do RW and anyone who knows the back end of the event will vouch for that.

The end.

But we certainly appreciate you doing it!!

Any chance of sticker packs being available at scrutineering so we dont have to mess around on the day trying to apply them?

[Phyber]

I got my sticker pack the day of scrutineering in 13 and 15? They just don't like you Faedy.

+1 though I've never been under the illusion that RW is a money maker - it's been stated multiple times it runs at a loss each year and is basically a labour of love. Thanks for resurrecting it so I can spend more money on my car hahaha. I was worried it was dead in the water after 2015 finished.


I do love a good bit of stirring though, 5/7 work Thommo

[Nugs]

I am very excited and appreciative to everyone that is making this happen.
Managed to get entries for me and my father before they sold out.

Who is the chief scrutineer, and is it to soon to ask them a question?
Specifically if this car's OEM roll over protection will be acceptable.
I wanted to ask first but I put the entry in when I saw how quickly it was selling.

Myself and Riggs will be in contact to give the Jag an inspection and high speed test run to gauge it's suitability for the event.

Thanks for your inquiry.

[Nugs]

Make sure to conduct a durability test of the rear tyres.

OEM is fine Nugs.

You should run it at a profit, otherwise how is this sustainable?

Extra $40 per entry.. Wouldn't affect take up rate on entries?

[Buckets]

The money seriously isn't an issue I was just using it to make a point, all involved are happy to do whats needed to make it happen regardless or it wouldn't be happening...

Entrants should expect an email from RW before the end of the week. We're working on it tonight.

FWIW - The best thing you can do if you want to help buy me a new liver and a Underground Racing TT Kit for the Paullardo is get spectators through the gate on race weekend.

LOL surprised that has not fallen apart yet , Crazy Aussies :P

Did lol at that. The very first RW event cost 6-figures to run, and it's only got more expensive and more complicated since then. $8k does not go very far...

[Greg Rust]

Probably a stupid question - but is there a resource library/regulation index for entrants?

[S133LTR]

Website has regs under competitor section.

Haven't received any emails since the confirmation email I got on the 9th.
