haha, theres a licence test involved in order to be able to drive on it, that would rule out most of the sidways wearing hat brigade that own those sorts of cars :lol:

On a side note its good to finally see a purpose built area for them to do it in, hopefully this will mean less stupid driving on the roads :idea:

The real knobs will still do silly driving on the streets, as no matter how easy you make it, that's still where they want to be.

But good show on a new venue.

Wonder if we could use it for sealed autocrossing...

I thought they wanted some stupidly rediculous amount for hiring it?

Speaking of the burn-out type, our street has already collected quite a few more.. and my guess would be the new people who have moved in just a wee way down who have in their drive reguarly a green GT starlet, Yellow/Black WRX, white WRX, multiple vans/utes and anything else that comes their way 8O

Assuming we get 35 cars at a sealed Autocross, with a $500 hire charge, and the clubsport participation levy of $6 per entry then we'd have to charge $30 per car to ensure a safe margin in the event of a low turnout of about 20 cars (which happens sometimes).

That is a number I believe that people will live with, considering the fuel prices and close location.

Where did you see the $500 figure Blair?

That's not too bad then... if the venue is good fun then $30 is reasonable for a local track :)

Costs - $500 for 8am-12pm , 8am-5pm will be $1000

That is the price the SNZ club is paying to use the venue. Can assume that is the hireage fee.

Oh ok, so $1000 into 35 entries = $34 each including levy. Or $56 each if we only got 20 entries. Would definitely have to be an all day event to attract people.
