I'm thinking about helping organise a Toyspeed Drag Day at Meremere. So I'd just like to get an approximate number of people that are likely to come. It's very very very very unofficial at the moment but I'll see how much attention it gets.

I would go if it was a bit cheaper

well i dsat $40 for a full days racing is cheap, if u get 20 or so runs it'll be great, we pay $40 for 2 days down here and u get about 4-5 runs per day so that sounds good!

hmmm 40$ is quite a bit but i should b able 2 bludge dat sorta money off da oldz

yup I'd definately be keen. Club days are well worth it. $40 for a days racing is all good.

and 5$ 4 spectators hehe.

its $20 for the night drags
$5 entry
$15 race fee

but for just toyspeed for the whole day, mmmmm
dunno, it could be a deal, maybe $30 might be a better number,
it also depends on how many turn up to cover costs?
and if not that many turn up, the day will soon get boring, radiators over heat,clutchs get burnt, and dont even mention the tires.
maybe have a large toyspeed presence at the night drags,
or challenge nz honda?

thats my piece
id probaly pay $40 if that was the cheapest wed get it, better than no racing at all.

I was at a drag day organised by Paddy Hart the other day. I got bout 25 runs for $40 and I thought that was pretty mean. Only like 23 people were there. But yeah, I'll just get some numbers and see how it goes.

Id go to watch yeh but i wouldnt pay $40 to watch more like 5 or 10

How's that sounds to you?

i am real keen to run at a TS drag day, i'm sure i can get at least 4-5 others from down this way to come as well, although all that no yes yes in the above conditions is confusing me somewhat!!!

Maybe i just need some more sleep or sumthing?
