• Ensure you bring your current driver’s licence and your current registration papers, or your current ANDRA licence and current ANDRA logbook. You will not be permitted to race without these documents.

• If you intend to compete in a street-registered vehicle which is not registered in your name you must present a statement, written and signed by the registered owner of the vehicle, authorising you, by name, to race the vehicle at Western Sydney International Dragway and specifying the date of the event.

• Cost to enter is $45. This fee covers the driver and two vehicle passes (race vehicle and one other car). Additional adult passes are $15 and may be purchased at time of entry. All other entry purchases must be made through the spectator entrance. No passes can be left at the gate. No additional vehicle passes can be purchased.

• Entries will be taken from 5pm. Racing will commence at 6pm and continue to 10pm. Scrutineering will take place from 5pm through to 7.30pm.

• Each competing vehicle will be entitled to two crew members. Crew members will be required to sign an indemnity and will be issued with wrist bands. This will allow them to accompany the vehicle to the start line area while the vehicle is racing.

• There will only be 200 vehicles permitted per event.

• No tow vehicles will be allowed at any time during the event.

• Each competitor will be entitled to bring two vehicles into the pit area… the race vehicle and one other (eg. The truck on which the race vehicle was brought to the track).

• Competing vehicles must be cars or motorcycles. The only open vehicles that will be allowed to compete are street-registered hot rods. Competition type vehicles such as Modified Eliminator vehicles will not be permitted.

• All competitors must have a civil driver’s licence or an ANDRA licence as well as the current registration papers or ANDRA Log Book pertaining to the competing vehicle.

• If the vehicle runs quicker than 11.99 seconds the driver is required to hold a current ANDRA licence. The motorcycle ET cut-off is 10.50 seconds for an ANDRA licence.

• All vehicles must have an exhaust system with functional mufflers that will ensure the noise level does not exceed 95db.

• Pass-outs will be available but re-entry to the venue will require the pass-out and the cancelled entry ticket.

• Adult spectator passes will cost $15 with no concession. Children under 12 are admitted free.

• Minimum personal protective equipment required for competitors:

o Drivers – long trousers, long sleeve shirt or jacket, enclosed shoes and an approved crash helmet;

o Motorcycle riders – long pants, motorcycle approved jacket, gloves, boots and an approved crash helmet.

Grounds for disqualification:

• Taking short cuts through or across the pit area to rejoin staging lanes.

• Removing your helmet before you have left the racing surface and braking area.

• Using a mobile phone while on the racing surface, braking area or return road. Carrying a mobile phone in the vehicle to be raced is prohibited.

• Failing to observe established speed limits within the venue. A speed limit of 20 kmh is to be observed on the return road and a limit of 10 kmh is to be observed in all other areas within the venue.

Please note:

• Smoking is not permitted in the staging lanes or anywhere near the start line area.

• Open shoes (eg. thongs and sandals) and sleeveless tops are not permitted on or near the start line area.

Toymods are already heading out and I was thinking of going along with them. Post in their thread at www.toymods.net (cruises and events section) and if they get enough interest they will arrange a staging lane full of Toyotas :)

word of warning though that Street Commos are planning on going that night too (you in Justin?) so might pay to get there early ;)

lol, not quite. if you running 10.99 or higher you can get away with a open face helmet. like a matt black bike helmet the badass bikie gangs wear. *considers it* my dad has a helmet or two lying around...

I dunno tho... my car is still pretty new :P getting a bit excited on the street is one thing but paying to do it properly is another.

half the answers are on the 1st post ....

6-10 pm

normal lisence .. with rego papers

[SyxXPaC]

* How long will the night go for ? Start / end

get there between 5 - 7:30 to start as soon as you get in. Racign till 10PM

* $45 for unlimited runs ? Yup looks like it

Yes depending on how many cars. At the worst 3 runs

* I am guessing that there is a lot of waiting around

Not really. Last night it looked liek you just drive back around and get in line. and every 25 minutes your back at the starting line.

* Any idea how much a helmet costs to buy ?

No Idea. I would go to cash converters and look for an old Motorbike helmet.

* What days is it on ?

Its on every wednesday but we want to go next week 22nd march

* Just a normal driving license required ?

Yes just the normal NSW licence and Rego pappers. If rego not in your name you need a letter giving you permission to race from the registered owner.
