Yeah, racing starts at 6pm but gates open at 4:30 and scrutineering at 5 until 7:30 or until 150 cars are entered.

Last time I tried to drive down after work I got there at 6:30-7:00 and got turned away at the gate. Would have been lucky to have got one run in anyway so a complete waste of time.

Sundays are even more packed than Wednesdays!

A private day, iirc, needs min. 40/ max. 50 cars at $200 a head. I was thinking to get at least 5-10 off a few Euro forums but I am sure it would be a f**king hassle and a half.

Last time I went I only got 3 runs. It is frustrating but with a few 1er's there it's tolerable!

I'm in the for the 12th and can be there early. Just need to find my helmet (we just moved house). I was going to bring the gopro but it's in a box somewhere!

First time I went I got in a full 5-6 runs and I only arrived about 7pm but the last time I went only got in 2 before the burnouts started and then managed to squeeze in one last run right at the end.

The problem with the sunday drags is that it fills up within an hour. I have tried twice to get in on a sunday and the que was 300m down ferrers rd.

I will be in sydney on sunday. If you are that keen on going i can try and meet you there but you would need to get there really early

Gates open at 10am, so if you got there are 9am would that be sufficient time?

The Sunday session is a hell of a lot easier for me, as the wed night session i would be struggling to get out of work early enough to make it.

But having said that I'm getting an intermittent bank 2 02 sensor code once every 1 or 2 weeks lately, I really should get the replacements installed before hitting the strip.... (no more misfires though ever since the plugs were changed-even though the plugs were only 8 months old and 5k kays use)

The next street meet is on the Sunday the 7th July, maybe if we all shoot for this date we can get a decent group organised?

If the weather holds i'm heading out tonight regardless. I can't do the 7th and I'd rather go anyway.

Maybe we can all meet up and have our own races on a "private road". Im picturing a wide road where we can line our cars up in a nice long line of 5-6 beemers.

I was at WSID last year also during that State of Origin night and there was only about 30-40 cars IIRC. Best night. I remember getting around 8-9 runs as well.

All good for next Wednesday.

I should hit up the newcastle aero club @ Rutherford and see how much it would be to hire their runway strip (if possible)

I use to know a few members up there years ago and as a teenager it use to be quite cheap to head out in a cessna for a few hrs, but not anymore these days I would imagine.
