2012 AROCA 6 Hour Relay - October 13 & 14

[SilverRA23]

Organising you blokes is like herding cats... lots of them....

So as we stand today I have am modifying the entries to appear like this:

Team TCCAV
Graeme - Celica
Peter - Celica
Ian - Celica
Peter - Suzuki
Darren - Nissan

Team Corolla
Frank - Corolla
Mathew - Corolla
Justin - Corolla
Andrew - Corolla
Brian - Corolla

Grumpy Automotive Racing
Van - Corolla
Clifford - Corolla
Colin - Corolla
Terry - Commodore

Now the bad news. Entry fees were $1500 for each team last year, so I suspect they might be $1600 this year. To guarantee our place we need to hand over the entry fee when we put in our entry.

Based on last year's entry fee (ie it could actually be more in 2012), here is how much you guys actually will need to stump up for entry in total, based on current team numbers

Team TCCAV - $300 each
Team Corolla - $300 each
Grumpy Automotive Racing - $375 each

I know a few of you were scratching to get the $200 deposit in, so time to start working out which of your children or toys you have to sell to cover the extra entry fee you are going to need to come up with shortly!

i have a problem with full whack 4 1/2 months out from the event and the entry date hasn't even been announced , maybe we need to talk to the orgernisers about a deposit per team up until 2 months before the meeting .it's alright for those who only do 1 or two events a year or got heaps of dosh , but some of us are doing a heap of events a year and have to plan our pay outs not have them all at once

[SilverRA23]

Note it wasn't a "you must do this now" statement, it was a "you should be ready for this"

Last time I carried the entry fee on my credit car for Team Rising Sun. While I had to submit the details with the entry well ahead, they didn't actually take it off until well after the event.. and with no communication as to when it was going to come off, it was always a bit of a worry about when it would hit. Hence this year I have distanced myself from the financials.

Timbo has been avoiding us because he took the engine out of his car :0)

Yeah, Tombo would love to race again this yeah. Alas, some prick pulled the engine out of his car, and has no good intentions with it...

the only time you go to the garage is when I'm there Timbo

[penguin]

nice of you to pick up my spelling error TIMBO

[shornesheep]

the account you have all put your deposit into is aq spare debit account I have
there is only your money in there
the problem is if they try to take payment early there will be insufficient funds
]last year we had to provide detawils for a deposit
this year they are stating full payment with initial registration
I would hate to miss out because of insufficient funds

sad huh! and when you come around, the garage visit rarely helps the sillycar! I think you need to come round with a lonely 1UZ, I reckon we'd get it in overnight.

Ian, you need to get your car round here ASAP.... otherwise you'll be forced to run the shitter again!

I actually like Tombo.... A Tombosaurus sounds like some baritonal musical instrument.

[shornesheep]

you pay for it
well get it in in a night then you could do the 6 hour
but in this weather you need a patio heater so the old bloke can keep warm


and I'm sure you playing with the tig welder helped the sillycar
