Now that the dates are up... who cookin duck on the dyno day?

[wagonrunner]

question, what time does the dyno day start?

[stikid09]

more info on dyno please

time it starts, how will it be carried out etc.
thanks

[wagonrunner]

KiD09, I'm guessing some details are yet to be finalized, but in the interim you can contact the folks listed at http://www.carstt.com/aboutus.html

We're still finalising details on Dyno day, hold strain...

[MG Man]

Guessing if someone misses the dyno day, CARS reserves the right to class their car without objection?
Cuz u know some people will invariably miss the dyno day.....

[Kongorealm]

Probably stated before, but can you come to the dyno day with your car even if your not registered for dex?

Registration for solodex events takes place on the day of the race itself. If you are referring to CARS membership, the answer is yes. Participation in the dyno day has nothing to do with membership.

[Kongorealm]

Thanks gt4tified! Yes I was referring to membership...awaiting more information on the dyno day i.e. confirmed date and time including related fee!

So can I ask a questrion to the exec? I just saw d&w is goin to hav 10 events for the year plus ther is karting and also arc use of the carpark all of which come before us at dex and there are only so many sundays....you guys sure we gonna be able to fulfill that schedule above???

[wagonrunner]

not a memeber of the exec. but willing to risk some math.
52 sundays a year.
10 D&W - 42 left.
TTKA - lewwe say 12 - 30 left.
CARS - 10 - 20 left.
3 gone, so that's 17.
lewwe say another 7 for miscellaneous reasons.
that still leaves ARC with the option of 10 sundays right?

[chris1388]

My bad...shouldn't have brought it across as if there literally were't enough sundays....but there is always the unforeseen changes and our schedule gets adjusted many times throughout the year to accommodate others . Just saying with so many other events now if we have to change date we might end up waiting really long to get another free sunday

[wagonrunner]

the only constant is change.
cars have given up dates in the past, may have to give them up in the future.
but what bearing does that really have on setting on a yearly schedule?
you work with what you have. you may have to give up one or two, or change them. but so what? It's been done before.

Chris, what do you expect when there is no official home for motorsport bro? We have to make do with what’s available and in planning I’m sure the CARS exec would have to balance optimism and reality in making their bookings.

The only solution is to continue to press for a permanent home for motorsport....so how do you plan to help in this regard?

What is meant by a permanent home for motorsport ? Some type of theme park or sumpn ?

I thought he meant a museum to be honest.

Per|ma|nent
Definition of PERMANENT:
"Continuing or enduring without fundamental or marked change."

You pansies want me to put it in context now?

yuh sure we eh permanent all now hoss?

[gt4tified]

I know what you mean, but enduring IMHO does not mean once a month for an indefinite period.

[wagonrunner]

seeing what you want to see.
"without fundamental or marked change".

I take umbridge to your attempts at reverse psychology, good sir!

T'was you who singled out the word in big and bold.

So are you then saying that if motorsport did get a PERMANENT home, that solodex would still be held in someone's car park?

I'd like to think that change would be for the better. If anyone wants to be bitter and pessimistic about the current situation, I suggest they take it up with the Hon. Minister of Sport. The Lord alone knows that I did my fair share of reasoning with said Honourable MP.

you think about that, and get back to me.
The preferred area is a large paved area not so?

I'm saying, all motorsport has been "enduring without fundamental or marked change", which by the definition, could then be classed as permanent.

"I take umbridge to your attempts at reverse psychology, good sir!"
take what you want. still seeing what you want to see.

Ahh, I now get yuh......you is a ideologist! Rite-o, take win and carry on then.

just felt like sayin dat :p

Why not ? WE have no track... no fundamental... no marked change for decades...By that definition... Motorsport already has a permanent home in TnT... oblivion.

[gt4tified]

And in spite of that, we have two Ferraris, two Astons, one Gallardo, plenty AMG Benz and so forth in T&T, not to mention the GTR's, EVO x's etc.

What does that tell you? Not much maybe, but like some unpopular person once said, "where there's a will, there's an estate".

[X2]

The presence of exotics and fast production vehicles has little or nothing to do with motor-racing.... nor will they effect change as the vast majority of those cars are owned and driven by saga boys, not motorsport enthusiasts.

[gt4tified]

I mooted that in my own previous post, but there is another point being made in said same post. Is either one sees it or one doesn't, no worries. The discussion may be better had over some ice cold Coronas anyway.

No Bagodex this year?
