2011 AROCA~Winton 6 Hour Relay

[ian]

ok lets get on with it
team rising sun has 3 entrants confirmed so far
nathan (13btt lotus ) from nsw may bring his 300 hp twin turbo rotary powered clubman
that will be good to watch

[Big Trev]

As I said earlier, we will most likely run with the same team as this year.

[Silly Rabbit]

Yeah I'll be up for next year......if I only do one motorsport event for next year due to the impending new arrival it'll be this

[Big Trev]

I am hearing that the 2011 AROCA 6 Hour Regularity Relay is going to be by invitation only, I wonder why?

[SilverRA23]

Did they ever sort out the result irregularities?

[Big Trev]

I have been told UNOFFICIALLY the results for us, but nothing has ever been posted/said formally, even their dedicated website has nothing on it about the results from last year.

hi trev
what was the unofficial result

[Silly Rabbit]

...and invitation only....is that to keep out all the lying / cheating / underhanded / big dollar teams or is it because some Alfa teams missed out and they want to be included???

I am not really sure, we will have to wait and see.

hi trev

I am nonly aware of ours Ian, no-one elses

Neil hinted at invitation only for this years 6 hr
also it is money up front FULL AMOUNT
so i suggest that anyone that is planning to run to start saving

[Clown]

What is the cost to do an even such as this out of curiosity, such as entry costs etc.

[ian]

this year it will be approx $150 per car and $15 for the dorian timer
we are going to be firm on this , all the money will have to be in by the time that the entries open
no exceptions
first in best dressed
if there is an entry drop out , refunds wont be given until there is a replacement found
also we may be cut back to two teams
i will post up out more as information becomes available

Why so much cheaper this year?

[SilverRA23]

It was about $250 for the entry and dorian last year.

Then another $30 for the group food effort, depending on if that was done again.

Then you have accommodation for at least the Saturday night, but most have Friday night as well. Lets say another $200.

Dinner and drinks... another $80?

Then car expenses... if you are lucky its just brakes and tyre wear if your car was all ready for the event before you entered. If you have a bad run like osme have its an engine rebuild.. a diff... or what ever else blows up.

Its definintely not a cheap event to run in, but its great fun.
