2006 AE86 Circuit Battle Extravaganza

[bathurst-91]

Ok so here is a temp flyer... Garth will run a proper one after Chad gets an entry form online.
Yes, to compete at this event will require completing an entry form and paying beforehand.

-We are also making the first call for trust-worthy people to help the event run smoothly (possibly be flag marshalls / staging crew). This is only a possibility as of now. But I'd suggest this would be the perfect opportunity to 'get into' the event if your an 86 fan but dont own a car or for some reason wont be able to compete come mid this year. Be a part of History

[Garth AE86]

i sure will!

[Sprinter-Saurus]

JUst sick of not having something comfy..
I made the car unusable for the road. Which was the way i wanted to head.. but now i miss it.
If i can get a comfy, nice daily driver then i will be happy i guess.. But the ke70 is a piece of shit lol

Haha we must be telekenetic or something dude lol, my Spoontah ain't going to be very nice for daily driving, and I was going to buy a KE70 and put an injected n/a 13b in it for daily driving, and make it look a bit old-skool, I know it would suck juice like a slut, but damn it would look and sound cool haha, then I thought better of starting another project for a daily driver when the Sprinter isn't even finished yet lol. Went down the South Coast over the weekend for New Year's with mates and I took my old man's VT Commodore, and fark me after the heat of these past 4 days I have a new found appreciation for air-conditioning and modern car luxuries, especially seing as my current daily is a rattled-out VN Commodore with no air-con. Although being raised as a Holden boy by an extended family of Holden fans, I've liked the new incarnation of Ford Falcons, especially the XR6 Turbo, so I've decided to buy one as a daily, as I still wanted something with a bit of balls about it, but something that can take 4 people, and I suppose tow a decent load as well, whether it be the Sprinter on a car trailer or a boat etc. I reckon they're pretty damn good value atm too seeing as I've found a shite-load of them in good nick for under 30k, some closer to 25k. I know alot of people wouldn't spend that much on a second car, especially having a performance-based money-sucking Toyota as a track/fun/weekend thrash car, but I would probaby regret doing the KE70 as it would end up being unreliable I'm sure.

Sorry for the novel haha back to the topic, god damn my car is going to be ready for this track extravaganza, I can't wait for it.

[mikes86]

[AE86slut]

I think there needs to be a couple of chill pills taken here as contact with the track itself hasn't even been made yet (but will be made by Chad over the coming days). The reason I started this thread was to gauge interest in an event of this sort, but the whole thing is getting a bit carried away for such early stages. There's a shite-load of stuff that has to be looked into behind the scenes such as securing the venue, working out finances (this could run well into the thousands) and sponsorship if required (most likely), which are areas Chad and I are both working on at the moment.
What I'm saying is that it's all good and well to sort out all the easy stuff like racing format, classes etc, but at the end of the day, I feel a bit like my original vision for this event left my hands as soon as I created this thread.
I just don't want to disappoint you guys, so I think from now on we'll just update every now and then with how things are progressing and to see where everyone is standing as far as attendance goes.

Don't get me wrong, we'll be doing our best to make this happen, but it is a considerable task to take on!

Cheers!

Jeremy.

[Evan]

Yeah Jeremy, where just making suggestions.
Its cool whatever happens.. thanks for organising it

[Runt_86]

Argh!!!!

why why why does my heap of crap have to be dying at a time like this.

stabbing myself
Will.

[Garth AE86]

chill will
you got 5 or so months yet!

[the chad]

well said Jeremy! talking to Winton this afternoon.. i have sent an email to drift Australia
so we dont clash with a DA round..

[bathurst-91]

Will> read my post. People can still be heaps involved if they dont have a car..

And yes, just as Jeremy stated nothing is set in stone yet however knowing the hachi community we need everyone to KNOW that an event is IN THE WORKS... The more people there are the cheaper the event will be for all. Not to mention the fact that sheer numbers of attendance will be what makes this event go down. No matter how well we organise it, it wont mean much if we dont get the required number of entry forms completed

[Fujiwara_ToFu]

Wow, this'll be an event that'll make me hurry up and drop in my RECARO sitting in my lounge room.

Strange, no? Mum prefers watching TV on the RECARO over her beloved couch.
I'm in.

Add me to the 78 rwkw NA bracket
