There's an IGA in Whylie; something new every day.

[200MPH]

Wylie is a surprise and delight kind of place Mr Rust.

Gonna be spectating and/or helping out this year. Family dishonor will be upheld by brother who has entered. Not sure that's a wise move, but we're not all in jail yet...key words being all and yet.

We're both pretty close in terms of power to weight as well so it would of been close :(

So what you're say is I can't drive your gt40 on Saturday? I have waited all year for nothing!

[200MPH]

Dry your crocodile tears girls.

Buckets - you can line me up an any number of events through the year. Happy to spank you wherever. Tell you what, you can have me as a passenger at RW. How's that for a top offer! I'll even set a rebuild countdown timer on your dash. In 5, 4, 3...

Tris - Yeah, and you wonder why I'm not bringing it! Can have a word in my brother's ear and check, but very unlikely you'll be allowed to drive his weapon of choice. XR5: more than you can afford pal... Or of course you can have a go in my daily. 1.6L of NA torque monster bitumen tearer. Did ya feel the pin? Not really, but it sounded angry. Well, there you go!

[Buckets]

Brookton Hwy test & tune. See you there when I get back next Julian ;)

Yep, got a pretty funny look when I asked where their cooked chickens were the first year....

Made me mind up, decided not to go. So if someone wants my spot with 1000m entry. send me a pm.

yours for $300

[fourseven]

Yeh it's gone through. What we will do is put you on the reserve list for a VMAX spot (and I can pretty much guarantee a few spots will open up before the weekend for one reason or another) and we can get the balance once we've got a spot free if that works.

[Sciflyer]

ok that sounds like a plan, cheers

[jayrod]

So i didnt get VIP even though i got it last year. :(

Is there a reserve list that we can get put on if people dont go.?

Got 2 others that didnt get VIP also.

[Buckets]

Due to a deal with a major sponsor which included a number of Platinum Club spots and the strongest demand to date for Platinum Club we had significantly more applicants than we have the capacity to provide the Platinum Club package to and for what it's worth we are still most likely going to run over quota in spite of issuing a record number of PC refunds last night. I am actually hoping we have a few PC no shows over the weekend to help get us back closer to quota to be honest.

I can and will keep you in mind if for some reason we get a spare spot and I do thank you for your continued interest.

[Alt_F4]

If platinum club is oversubscribed, does that also mean the rest of the event is close to capacity?

[Buckets]

If platinum club is oversubscribed, does that also mean the rest of the event is close to capacity?

There's still a good number of spots left as we've had an unfortunate spike in the number of bonafide withdrawals (quite a few people loosing jobs and so forth which is not a good thing for our whole economy let alone the poor person involved). VMAX sold out a while ago and now the Platinum Club entry is also closed, at a guess once we do the latest updates I'd assume there's about 30ish left.

Historically we get a reasonably strong sign up rate towards the close of entries so I still hope / believe we'll at very least go close to selling out which if I'm honest we need to if we are going to see a Racewars 2016 and beyond. It's no secret that I like the rest of the team aren't willing to prop the event up financially to the extent we've done so in previous years so this year either works (or gets close enough) or 2015 is most likely it.

[pwr2wait]

Wyalkatchem Hotel/Motel and Wylie Stay are booked out.

and only self contained Wyalkatchem Traveller’s Park had spots left, i just booked fri-sun with them.

any other places around ?

[tex]

Nothing wrong with the traveller's park mate, stayed there last year and will stay there this year. Just bring a swag, ice and an esky.

[Alt_F4]

It's at the trotting track next to the caravan park.
The shire charged a fee last year to camp but not in 2013
Police do patrols in there i guess cause of the fires in '13
It's generally pretty busy so try get there in the afternoon on friday to get a good spot near the edge
OK so probably a fee, but otherwise it's first come first served?

[heavyduty1340]

I wont have patch members there for security this year lmao!!

Two years ago, it was interesting!!

[pwr2wait]

ok cool, cheers.
i already booked it anyway, so see ya there !, hopefully haha car still in piece's.

[American Dave]

We will be hosting our annual movie big screen viewing on the side of the motorhome on the Friday night at the travellers park. Expect it will be a James Bond movie followed by some Fast & Furious

[Greg Rust]

Surely you've had many requests for 'two girls, one cup' to be screened?

[heavyduty1340]

Well after to and fro'ing, don't want to chop up the front of the Monaro, so not going turbo atm.

Going to pull the motor from my drag car on Tuesday and have SQP set it up in the old girl, and hopefully talk him into tuning for e85 as I don't want to have to feed it on vp109 at around $10/l.
Already running external swirl pot and 044, so may need to add another 044 but will leave that to John.
TreCool - whats your thoughts on suitability of the std tank and fuel lines for this?

[Tre-Cool]

I've not had issues with any of mine with the standard stuff. only thing that might need to be adjusted for the drag motor if your running nos? is adjust the fuel nozzle for more fuel to make up for e85's lower stoich ratio.

shouldn't be big issue either way, if it's dry shot system and not a wet kit then I imagine it's running the custom os for nitrous in which case it's probably less fucking around sorting out the fuel jet nozzle

[heavyduty1340]

Wet system.

If it is a head fuck I will delete, but good for reducing intake temps on those hot Wylie days.

Might even run 2 tunes - one for vp109 for Racewars, and a safer tune for the street on E85 if John is happy to try both.

In all honesty, I wouldn't do 1000km a year in it aside from Antilag Fun but VP 109 is crack prices

[Buckets]

VP109 smells so good though !

[heavyduty1340]

If only you pricks knew what the last 3 years of Racewars has dented my bank!! Fucking Speed Shops should be bowing down to you blokes for stimulating their economy by fuckloads just as the mining gig slowed for them.

They are totally in debt to you blokes and as such should be in there as sponsors in a big way.

Far out the enthusiasm for the Motorplex has dropped off markedly over the last 4 or 5 yrs so these shops need to look outside for more customers

[magic1]

NO2 should be compulsory :)

[huggy_b]

NO2 should be compulsory :)

Agreed, when are you installing yours?

[Buckets]

Big call from the little guy.

[huggy_b]

I'm not the one making big calls?

[200MPH]

What kind of an engineer calls for NO2 to be mandatory?

N2O on the other hand, there be some gas we can all enjoy...

Antilag: where chemistry matters.

[magic1]

not chemical eng

[huggy_b]

NO2 has 2 oxygen available compared to N2O which has one, therefore NO2 is twice as powerful.

Also there seems to be a GT40 replica missing from the entry list.

PLEASE REDPOND.

[200MPH]

Why not just ditch the passenger N and inject straight 02? That plus, well pretty much anything = rocket fuel time. Can't see any issues there...

I'm just making a spot available for a certain DatRotor to enter. Step forward please.

[huggy_b]

Datto will never enter RW.....

[Ash]

Whats the go with volunteers? i am coming up with Andrew, hopefully his car is going but i will be free all 3 days to help out, i used to be a CAMS Scrutineer and have done many WRC's and V8SC's in Perth as well as Forrest rally and local events, let me know if i can help.

We're pretty liberal with what we let run but the Datsun is a tad too hardcore / risky for us. Plus Huggy and his mate Posh Spice have the serious business of commentating and finding Dr Kuek a wife to attend to.

I'm still keen to line up the FD next to your toy and have a run though...

Y U NO RACE ME !!!

[Buckets]

Fuck what a day yesterday...

Day started out as a right pingpingpingping of a thing after I took the LFXX out for a 5am warm up lap prior to putting it on the truck and didn't warm the brakes up enough so it wound up not wanting to stop as it was approaching the ramps to drive it on to the truck. RIP 1 x Front bar + splitter :( But then it got fucking deluxe.

Tested khana layouts for both the original location and a back up course at the airstrip. The airstrip one got a bit silly and there will be some better photo's and video's uploaded to the page once we get it all sorted with the guys who came up and shot it for us.

The town based khana stage is tight as fuck and technical, not something where the big turbo cars with lag will stand a chance of making or staying on boost let alone a lay down good time; it's really for the response & handling focused guys. The airstrip course is more like an old school MC Motorsport style cone course with a bit of room down the strip to get some speed up like Rallysprint which helps the laggy guys a bit. The shire have said they'll take a pretty dim view of big skids in town so we'd need everyone to keep it reasonable they do realize the streets will get redecorated even if people behave so they're not being unreasonable.

Both were shit tonnes of fun and both reward handling over out and out horsepower. I got a bit excited several times during the test runs and killed a set of tyres so I'm honestly thinking if you want to go nuts during the Khana and run all weekend it may pay to bring spare wheels up so you're still compliant with the tyre regs for the drags.

Both proposed courses are going before the council soon so we'll know for sure which one is preferred shortly and then get it all sorted from there.

We've also got these chaps along for this year - http://bigfunwa.com.au/ & Skidkid is going to set up some of his racing simulators which will give the spectators some extra activities to get involved with aside from watching the racing or going for passenger laps.

If you haven't entered for fucks sake get on to it and don't miss out. There's still Standard Entries available (Khana / 400 + 800m roll on racing).

[BLACK HULK]

Even if the Jeep is slow as fuck it'll still be fun. As long as I don't hulk smash into a building

[Greg Rust]

Hang on a second; so there's potentially a mini Tarmac rally course in town?

[jayrod]

Looking forward to the khana!

[200MPH]

I was feeling ok about my day (rubbish tip run from hell) until reading that... Sounds great, remodeling of bar aside.
What pads you have that so useless when cold? No need for that kind of malarkey unless doing endurance circuit racing I'd have thought.

[Buckets]

Hang on a second; so there's potentially a mini Tarmac rally course in town?
There WILL be a Khana either in town (our pick if we can get it signed off. Stand out the front of the pub and watch the cars spec) or the airstrip (a much more fun course IMO but more for the drivers and less engaging for spectators)

The whole idea is to try and engage some of the AWD and lower HP guys who have gotten scared off by the big HP guys dominating the straight line stuff. We want diversity so we need to diversify.

Cone courses are always fun. I went out with the car pegged back to just over 300 at the wheels and it was still good. Tris had a fair bit more and was doing skids everywhere and Paul in the Evo was pretending to be Ken Block... Either course is fine IMO it's still going to be good.

Back on topic.

I still have my entry with it's 1000m option available for sale.

[2jzlux]

What is the process to get your car scrutineered at a different shop if it is possible?
Nothing against galvsport at all, just it's the wrong side of Perth.

[Buckets]

We are very stringent on this as the pre event inspection is one of the key risk mitigators for the event. We usually only offer it to people outside the Perth metro are or if theres a large group of cars getting entered by another workshop we arrange for Josh to either approve the shop to do the inspections or he'll go out and check the cars off down there.

Josh has been delegated the power to make the calls here under the regulations and by default the events insurance policy so it's basically up to him if you can get dispensation or not.

[adrenalin]

Was actually wondering this as i have the car booked in at Tokyo Motorsport to make sure everything is ready to go for racewars. Also had to check the box on not sure of time due to possibility of being over in China.

Looks like 400? About 150 to 550? Not that it's not impressive with that stat anyway. My entire rev range only gets me to 430hp at the rears. Must be a battle to try and get traction! Might be giving out a few stone chips this coming April.

Lol conservative as in no more timing or wg duty was added over E85 would of sung harder and got near 800 with 5 degrees....but dak dak!

If w
2.4 bar is conservative what's 1.5bar? Besides piss weak? Hahaha

he never shows mercy to what he sits in.
if can survive Justin at the wheel, its 1 tough motor and will last for ages for us common folk
his set the bar to high for me,
as its my turn tomorrow to visit Sean at Allstar workshop, so he can weave some of his magic on the dyno.
when racing Oversteer, I can report how back the car is performing, as it disappears out of site.

Wont mind losing to big hp cars. Just nice to run a few things closer to your own HP to make it interesting.

This.... having a car that does a 11 sec pass is a good feeling but when a 9- 10 second pulls from you it somehow still makes me smile and appreciate the engineering, science and mechanical shit going on as they pull on you.

C10 and the 55 LOL them boys got me good :)

[huggy_b]

The 55 is very deceptive - I think he said it makes about 800 at the rears? It's a supercharged Chev under the hood.

The C10 was less deceptive with its 13" wide rear tyres......it need every bloody inch of them and still couldn't get traction! Hahaha

[Damo 69]

the best part of my first racewars was getting chopped by the 55

Nah I never get depressed. I lose and while admiring their power and think fuck that would fun.... I hit the M button . Soft suspension kicks in, aircon to 16 degrees and listen to Huggys finest in surround sound. Now thats depressing. .. :)

[S85FI]

Quite excited. ... its so close.

[American Dave]

excitement building for sure

[Fukushima]

Anyone got fuel and transport ideas / hookups?

Contemplating stealing daily from wife for the weekend for towing duties...

But would jump on a transporter if one is available

[adrenalin]

Also contemplating same thing.

Hopefully our work picks up new triton which will use to cart up a set of rims and a stack of Gerry cans \ camping stuff etc.

[S85FI]

Might price up some trucks if people wanna split the bill. Might not be so cheap this far out. ...
I'm thinking a pantech with a long tray, tools fuel etc will be out of site... and cars sheltered.

[Buckets]

I've not spoken to them about it but Galvsport usually have a transporter that does a few runs ?

I do have a guy at work who's attending as well and his old man owns a trucking company with a car carrier that he's chucking a few cars on so I can ask him if there's any spare spots as well.

[BLACK HULK]

I'd be keen on jumping on board a truck seeing as the Wagon won't be licensed come racewars

[S85FI]

Same same

Passenger seat is original as well so no head rest , I thought I was going to end up in the back when he nailed it :P

I asked Josh about it earlier this month. It's only for emergency breakages this year. Hence I am looking for a trailer hahaha!

Talk to razorback racing (Keith Adams) - he hires out his transporter I think ?

[Sciflyer]

OK so due to the fact that my car got hit by a drunk driver and will be off the road for some time for repairs (fucking yay) i wont be able to make the scrut. time.... presumably i need to contact Galvsport to make some other arrangements?

At the rate things are progressing i might not even make the event itself :(

Cheaper than staying up there

[Buckets]

It's $10 bucks a night to camp... Even in a economical car it's at least 1/2 a tank of fuel there and back...

There's options in surrounding towns if campings not your thing. Cunderdin has some stuff free still I believe (30ish mins drive from Wylie)

Ease up, we're not all on mine money Richie Rich with your $10 a night "budget" accommodation.

[adrenalin]

Just wondering when do we find out times for scrutineering if we weren't able to select a date initially ?

Sent off an email and haven't heard.

[2jzlux]

I got a phone call today so it won't be long.

[heavyduty1340]

Wanted Bart to do mine to avoid trailering it to Perth.

[protecon]

Picked up the car from Allstar today - said they've been flat out with last minute work/tunes.
Apparently there's some big numbers this year.

[Buckets]

Because it seems 99.9% of entrants can't remember their scruit details I'm in the middle of sending every competitor an email with their scruit booking details (or ask for them to get hold of Galvsport or whatever) as well as confirming their entrant status ect ect.

Check your emails tomorrow morning and if you can't find an email in your inbox then check your junk folder. If you still haven't got an email and you're expecting one go to https://www.racewars.com.au/Competitors and sign up as you're not on our entrant list. There's been heaps of failed or partial submissions (usually people putting all their details in and then fucking up the payment details) so if you think you're entered and you didn't get an email you're most likely one of the failed sign ups.

[Buckets]

Edit - Scratch that the emails will go out tomorrow night now.

With details of some other RW related shit...

[LarryDavid]

Is it possible to re-schedule the scruit time? Unfortunately something urgent has come up and I wont be able to attend my original time slot.
Do I just need to contact Galvsport?

[Buckets]

Emails sent.

Check your inbox's lads.

[American Dave]

yep received and ready to roll

We're never going to pick a date that makes everyone happy, we take a guess at the best date we can given we have to fit it in the host town's own plans including for it's staff (we rely heavily on their works department to assist us), other events and our teams own plans for the time. My preferred solution at this stage is to not bother picking a date again so no one will have to bother themselves with inconveniences like making scruit bookings or getting time off to come race.

[Fukushima]

This is a thread on a discussion forum. I realise you are under the pump but you don't need to react like that.

[American Dave]

wont someone think of the children....

[Buckets]

It's a discussion thread where the people behind the scene's are very open and upfront with the fellow forum users who wish to comment and discuss the event. There is nothing wrong or incorrect with what I said Shannon.

It's no secret people should not count on there being an RW16 or beyond; as much as many of us love the event our passion for it alone does not make it viable or a good use of our resources and time. I'm encouraging everyone I speak with including those who read this thread to get whatever needs doing done to get out there and enjoy this years event. What happens after this year will be decided in due course.

Now...

As per your emails it's getting close to tech inspection time so I'd like to encourage everyone to go over the reg's over the next few days and make sure they rock up good to go. Galvsport are flat stick at the moment but they're going above and beyond once again to help tech the vast majority of the competitor cars. They've made it very clear to us they do not have time to re tech cars that don't pass first round. We all know the tech process sucks but we can't race without it so help yourselves here guys and make sure everything is as it should be prior to your booking.

Reg's are here if anyone needs a copy - https://www.racewars.com.au/Content/Documents/Racewars%202015%20Event%20Regulations.pdf

I'm still hoping for a rw16, I just ran of time and mostly funds to get a car built for this years one.

In fact the motor is only now just ready for pickup. So my grand plans of having a dedicated car to go 300 went about 4 months ago. so rather then enter in a "spare" car again decided to put money towards getting it done.

Black Hulk I think as long as your driving responsibly and have your RW decals on you will be fine to drive the 5mins to the strip.. the police dont pull competitors up for inspections.. if your doing the right thing more likely to just get a wave and a smile from them.

[XF Falcon]

I dare say it will be any cops not from the town which will more than likely pull you up for driving the car if its outside of the yellow sticker period. The local cops are probably more concerned with people driving dangerously or orange bmw's doing burnouts outside pubs and soforth. The drive from the airstrip to the camping ground is literally a minute drive so you should be fine *

* not my fault if you get caught

[Buckets]

I've not had time to reply to all the PM's on here / FB and via the Contact Us portal.

I have some time tomorrow night when I shift change and will reply to as many as I can as best I can.

To answer the main question people have been asking -

If you want to offload your entry for any reason we are no longer issuing any refunds (March 1st being the cut off date). You may attempt to offload your competitor entry pending us receiving their details and approving the swap. They will most likely have to inherit your vehicle inspection booking slot regardless of their own preference as there is minimal scope for change with the inspection time slots.

If anyone in here wishes to swap entrants or knows someone who does please pass this along to them.

Cheers for your patience and understanding. All of us in the event team have day jobs and other more pressing personal commitments so we can't and won't ever have the capacity to reply to everyone's queries as quickly as we would otherwise like to.
