He does piss a lot of people off if there is one person out there doing big skids then kicking a whole cruise session 1 lap in off the track who have waited hours just to get on. Saying that there is no were else around really that you can take a full car load out and drift the track sensibly. ^^^Basically this It takes one idiot that thinks the rules don't apply to him to ruin it for the whole cruise session. There were cars that decided to drop their guts halfway down a straight (I get that sometimes sh*t happens and things break) and as a result detours are made around it cutting off half the track resulting in far too many cars on the track at once. Understandably the Saturday was busiest out of the 4 day event and of the 6hrs possible cruise time I was lucky to do 1hr 30mins. Just my reasons for not going back. I'd go to watch, just not enter my car. Plenty of other events (torque time, hi octane, downshift) to attend throughout the year instead.
May 3, 201610 yr #862 Fair enough, mate. I can see your point, now. Surely that sort of thing has been happening for years (in terms of the on track antics) and it's only more recently that it has become "a problem" for the "rule enforcers"? Or am I way off base?
May 3, 201610 yr #863 I can't speak from experience as it's the first time I'd entered my own car but I think you could be right. Events are always trying to be made "safer" and that usually ends up with the fun police coming out harder. As with all car events there are people around that want what you have, last years PC at QR a very tidy R34 was stolen on the last day.
May 3, 201610 yr #864 His on track rules could do with a reform that's for sure. They pull the whole group off for one person being dumb but 99% of the time that person has a pit pass so they just line up and go out again and wreck it for the next group. The only people that hate power cruise don't have a pit pass lol. But you need to be a millionaire to get one.
May 3, 201610 yr #865 Farkin' fun police, eh... Surely they could just get waivers signed and be done with it.
May 3, 201610 yr #866 It's more to do with track damage I think. People get on the brake at low speed and start eating into the tar. The back hill of eastern creek looked like war zone sunday arvo And also the fact you can't see 2 feet in front of you cause of the smoke , yet you want to be part of the fun so your on the brake as well Hahahaha
May 3, 201610 yr #867 Bit hard to prevent that sort of thing, though, without having some sort of minimum power at the wheels to enter in the first place haha. Massive first world problem to have
