i am pretty sure that caster have sorted that out,anyway i am getting my stuff from a caster distributor in nsw and he has heaps of stock.

and if anyone at the track would also like a zx-1 i can get everything you could possibily want for the car at a decent price.if any one at the track wants to chat to me or ,have a look at the kits ,or have a test drive of my[do not brake it] car id would be more than happy to talk to you.

Now that the sales pitch is over, any news on the fence or track extension?

Reason I ask, is that I believe it'd be silly to invest in a fence for the current size track and then extend the track in 6 months time.. I believe we should test the water for a future track extension now, even if its no physical work is done on it for months, and build the fence accordingly.

Just throwing it out for discussion

How do you mean "Backwards"??? do you mean extend it beyond the existing table-top jump on the back straight? It can't be moved closer to the drivers stand, as it is already too close.

I think we would like to get an extra 10m out from the back straight, as well as about 10-15 metres at each end. Not sure there, but would be good to try and aim for a 300-400m long track (effectively doubling what we have now)

thanks mate, i appreciate that..
either buy a couple of heshian (sp) ones or get a long canvas bag or something and as long as you get a receipt + its under or about 20bucks, ill repay you on raceday.

pity those trees on teh backstraight dont mysteriously die, then they need to get pulled out anyway
nah i shouldnt even joke about that

guys, you cant extend to the right (carpark direction) unless you intend to move that power box thing, its already about 10-15m from the track so that direction is outta the question really.
