Great business analogy. Import one set. Be realistic. You would get at least 5 sets for the same shipping price so say freight is $US5 per set. That is $US33.39. That converts to $41.22. Add GST and the total is $45 a set. Still nowhere near your SPECIAL of $55 plus freight . And you charge $10 freight for something that would get in a 500g EXpress Post bag which is $8.50. That is gouging .
Face it Matt, you have no ideas for the Ideas Man
Maybe that is where you have gone wrong with XRAY parts. Importing one item at a time.
And support an event? You were the one who complained about me giving a free airfare out at the Nationals for the Mini class. Great supporrt Matt

Cant, wait for Foams to come back in, people might actually race. Like really these are the biggest joke of all time. They bring in a Control tire so everybody is in the same boat but then let people un-control the tire with traction compound....that makes sense.
When will people wake up to the fact, do the maths, I have and just cant justify racing at big meets so I dont normally comment, I just dont race, I wonder how many others do the same. Racing these days would be the cheapest it has ever been apart from one factor.

What about the 300 people who race within Australia?
Also, just as you dont see nitro cars running on rubber, i think you will see some push to change tire rules given that IFMAR has just adopted Lipo for Mod onroad. The current technology in rubber tires is just not up to the kind of abuse the cars are now able to deliver.

Oh yes we would hate to affect the 3 people who travel OS

I would rather have people race again then worry about the very very few people that want to race o/s twice a year. They can always still run whatever they like. Open choice.

Guys I think its about time we got back onto the subject of the thread.
I'm looking forward to a good weekends worth of racing to give me good practice.
It also looks like the whalan guys have done a fantastic job with the track, now we just need to know what layout they are going to run................
