Crap Nite @ WSID Ray

MYV8 · 14-07-2005, 02:20 PM

Decided to go to WSID last nite as I missed out last week because it was over-subscribed and I was late arriving.
Got there early, entered and scrutineered no problems. Got in the staging lanes by 6.10pm (racing starts at 6pm) and then everything turned to sh*t as far as organisation and the running of the nite was concerned. I was allocated staging lane 3 which turned out to be invisible to the official running staging. Most other lanes got 5 passes for the nite, we got two. (Equates to $22.50 per run.) I was talking to another bloke with a BA XR8 in the staging lane beside me who got two passes while we had not moved an inch.
Between the break-downs, oil-downs and burnout comp (now 8 cars instead of 4) it was a pretty disappointing nite.
Now that's off my chest, I run a 13.74 and 13.69 @ 103 about 2 1/2 hours apart...

Great work mate, your in club 13. Now on to some tyres, and pay low 13's a visit!!

loxxr6 · 14-07-2005, 06:20 PM

The way they run the allocation of the runs does seem to be pretty bad.

It seems like forever between runs...

eb six on boost · 14-07-2005, 10:40 PM

off topic, but did you notice any race cars there???
i found out yesterday that wednesday night meets are now only for street rego cars only and i was taking my car down in 2 weeks time.

i mean by race cars, no plates but race numbers..

thanks, michael

Your on ya way now, was that your 1st time.
i think if they cant give you at least 3 runs it should be a freebie next time..
what was your 60 foot time?
well done keep having fun.

MYV8 · 14-07-2005, 11:46 PM

eb_six,
There was quite a few ANDRA registered vehicles that were trailered in.
A few blown sedans (Forza etc), 8 and 9 second PAC Rotors. It seems that quite a few of the 'competition' type cars use staging lane 1 and get instant access to the track. I thought that is what the test and tune days were for!!!!!

Mark,
My 60' were 2.152 and 2.174 on the SP3000's. 92% Rel Humidity.
I have been out a couple of times before pre-edit, with a best of 14.2 @ 101.
With only 2 passes didn't quite get used to the ute going sideways when I changed into 2nd with the auto. Hopefully do better next time. The bug is catching..LoL.
Thanks to Chris from Bluepower and Simon from Xtreme Ford Tuning.
Can't wait for your Sydney trip Chris. :voldar02: :voldar02: :voldar02:

yeah, i rang peter pike at wsid today and said they are trying to get rid of "some" race cars.
couple reasons for that.
he said im ok to race as long its under 95db.
cant wait to race on the 27th

Yes, you're in the 13's! Why didn't you tell me!, I would have come out to watch......

Mustang Dave · 15-07-2005, 11:54 PM

What time did you get there?

MYV8 · 16-07-2005, 03:59 PM

Gidday Craig,
It was something I only decided on the afternoon. Wade and I plan on going next Wed, weather permitting.

Mustang_Dave.
I got to the track about 5.10pm. I don't think the time I got there was the problem but the staging lane I got allocated didn't seem to get a fair go all nite.
(My race number was in the first quarter allocated for the nite.)

Mustang Dave · 16-07-2005, 08:36 PM

Would I be wasting my time if I turned up to race at 630pm?

SLY XR8 · 16-07-2005, 10:58 PM

Good work MYV8 when you get use to it the times will come toumbleing look out low 13's

**Chris** · 16-07-2005, 11:00 PM

careful sly, he could be a contender for your title..............

Probably pay to give WSID a ring before you left home. (Unless your coming from Newcastle or something.)
Apart from the last two weeks I haven't been for a while, so not to sure on the trend.
I believe that these days they supposedly limit the entrants to 160 or 170, but the week before last I got there just after 6.30pm and they had already made the cut at 200 and turned away 30 or 40 according to the bloke at the gate.
This week by 6.45pm they were full and I saw cars with numbers up around 180, plus the cars with ANDRA race numbers.
Earlier on in the year you could get there late and still run and if you got there around 5pm for the 6 o'clock start you would get at least 6 passes.

Maybe its time they had the occasional Friday nite meet as well!!!!

No excuses here mate, im keen as hell to get back out but work is the killer. If i dont make the cutoff i'll be watching this week for sure.

Looks like what i was waiting for has an uncertain future, might need more than a tune from you mate.

**Chris** · 19-07-2005, 11:12 PM

yes, dealing in reality is a blessing, although some vendors wouldn't know that!(refer phone conversation)

I know what you mean, i was prepared to do anything for it. Not trying to start a fight so i'll let that one sleep for now.
