Great video. Not good news about your engine. Was it a worked engine? Aftermarket ECU?

Rebuilt stock 3SGTE bottom end with Halltech ECU. Only got 50K out of it due to oil starvation to the bearings. I will fix that problem with a Moroso sump. Yes I learn the hard way but that's Motorsports.

Unfortunately I have pulled out of the trackday challenge. Only 4 people signed up which is a far cry from when I created this event for the benefit of the MR2 scene.
Peter did say the event is dead and he must be right. It was good while it lasted and I can always carry the great memories of where it came from there it's peak in 2016.
Hopefully we can still catch up at the odd trackday here and there or someone or the clubs can organise annual trackday for the Mr2 scene.
Thankyou to all that supported it over the years.

This is a shame. It always confused me why there were so few entrants from Sydney considering it is the closest big city.
Am I the only person that entered and drove at every one of these events?

Would any of the Mr2 community be interest doing The Bends in SA? There are difference tracks to choose from accommodation at the track etc? For something difference.

It is a hard call on the track layouts. The option is to have Hillclimb and Short Circuit till 12 then full circuit for the rest of the day and the second day. That may be the best so it gives full circuit on both days. As for the hard launches, you can just take off easy which is the best way to save the car. As its starting from the exit of turn 2, its a lot easier on the car for starts.
I have an extension till the 28th of June so we do need to get entries in so this can work. I know a lot of people would hate to see it end but if people don't enter/support it, that will inevitably happen.

^^Totally agree and feel the same as Rick has mentioned above.
You can never get enough full track time in my opinion.

Ok, WP has given us til the end of June to get sorted. I have sent out emails to everyone from the last meet that I ran and will be sending email to everyone who entered from 2013-2016.
All payments can be made via trybooking.
If it does not meet the due date, the event will be cancelled with everyone receiving a full refund via the booking agency.
For interstate entries who have committed to the meet, I will be talking to some people to organise a few track days as a replacement. Hopefully this will not be the case and we can go ahead as usual.
If changing to full circuit for two days will help sway your decision, please let me know so I can make the change to this option. We can still run timed sessions and hot lap shoot out.

I'm in favour of more full circuit time. The hill climb is fun, but am always worried about hard launches when i have to drive my car so far home again, so i try to be gentle which restricts my ability to get a good time. I do enjoy the regularity. The shootout is a good experience, but its only a couple of minutes track time in an event that takes around an hour - would it be better to just have more track time?
I'm pretty easy going, so will be there no matter how the event is run...

Looking forward to catching up with everyone :)
