EOI: SIMULATOR RACEWAY

This is an EOI for a Simulator raceway night that i discussed with bruce and chris.

Rough plan:

*set a date (will be a saturday)
*drive to Bruce's workshop, have bbq and many drinks
*leave cars at bruce's, walk/drive to sim raceway
*enjoy racing and more drinks (its a licensed BYO)
*go to town/home
*collect cars next at Bruce's accidentally start drinking again...

Let me know who is interested and throw up ideas for what weekend you would prefer.

If we get 10 or more people it will be 60 bucks each for 3 hours. We will have to share cars though.

Also, because i'm extremely competitive, maybe we could make up a knockout style tournament? so we end up with the two best racers in a final showdown? We can set aside say half the units for the competition, and the other half for social racing/grudge matches?


First 10:

-Me
-Bruce
-Bob
-Chris rolla
-Mate of mine
-Troy
-Chris rx7
-Merran

Sounds good. Lets get some interest going and make it happen.

I am in.

10 people is a good number because it would only cost 60 bucks each to book it for a private function for the 3hrs. If we get more it would be cheaper but less time on the cars between people. But remembe they have pool tables and darts and we will have drinks.

Maybe set a date for a couple of weeks away and see how many we can get.

okay, but first in gets best say on the details.

Of course.

I'm in as long as I am here.

defo keen

count me in

Im down. Which means merran will also be down.

Sweet .

updated list.

thoughts on competition and social play?

Wen you book it privately. The choices are yours. Basically we can see how the night goes. Some might get bored with the cars and play pool.

I knock out comp is good, as long as there are not cars sitting there that no one can use. But surely the others can still play another track or something.

This could be trouble. I am a competitve bugger as well.

well i was thinking just have a few cars for the competition. Set social games at say 20 minutes a race, and the "competition" cars could be used as social cars to break up the competition races.

so for the competition, say we used 4 cars, and had 12 people wanting to enter, you could do three sets of races on the same track with the same cars. then the 8 fastest overall times (total race times, not best lap) could go into the next heat.

So.................when i win. What do i get?

I was thinking the prize for me, the winner, could be i dunno. a fake trophy? who can weld chunks of metal together and paint it gold?

actually, if people want to get serious about competition (other than bruce and i) i have a good idea for a trophy

Can I have Winnie as the trophy?

that'd make a pretty small trophy

What makes you guys think you are gonna win??? I AM THE STIG. You have no hope. hahaha.

I can see this being a bit of a problem. There can only be one winner. So I will let the rest of you kiss my feet while I am fed grapes by my harem of beauties on the winners podium.

What was your idea of the trophy Winnie? I can get things powdercated.

well i was thinking along the lines of toy or lego cars painted and mounted?

I say we all bring a six pack of something. Winner take all!

nah cos most people only like to drink a certain type of drink. Maybe have a cash kitty?

10 people @ $10 a person = $100 dollars for prize money but I like the trophy idea. Maybe a mounted and painted piston and conrod combo???

I was on the same wavelength as you bob.

But. 10 X 6 =60

So thats 60 alcoholic drinks someone gets to take home. Who cares if they are different, everyone gets thirsty eventually.

And bob it should be a rotor in a housing

Seeing as since I'm racing you guys cant win anyway =D
