If it takes a pound of tripe to knit a waistcoat for an elephant, how long would it take firemen(wearing gumboots) to walk thru' a tin of baked beans?;w

Is that what you meant by random?

Can't claim honours for originality, it dates back 30 yrs since I heard it. There is an answer to the question, but it's partly visual.

Yesterday the dog had a crack at the postie.

Probably didn't appreciate him being on the footpath with his little putt putt bike.

Or perhaps she sensed he was dropping off a sh*t load of bills. ;}

I know one member on here who has lost his car due to too much public enjoyment... ;)

I dont agree with this dop in a hoon bit.

I mean all someone has to do is make a stat-dec and bang you can lose ur car.

I mean what happens if you have someone who hates you and goes out of their way to make trouble for you.

What we need is a computer system that can record engine stats wheel speed etc to use as evidence if we get busted.

A lot of the problems the police/community face with real 'ragamuffins' on the road stem from a lack of proper outlets for these people to enjoy their cars.

I recall a couple of drift tracks being shut down because it only "encourages the dangerous driving" ?
To get your car in at the 'plex for a 1/4mile run it costs $35 - $50 (depending on event) and you are lucky to get more than 8 runs in total for the night (if its a good night).
Technical driving courses (ie, like what you can do at the AHG driving centre) cost upwards of $60 a head.

I'm sure you are all aware of even more than what i listed.

If these sorts of venues and other outlets for boy racer-ism were made more accessible money wise you would see less of it on the road.

I dont mean to be pointing the finger at the government or anyone else for not having these sorts of places more readily available because between building, marketing, maintianing and paying for insurance it's a wonder we have at least a race track and a static 1/4mile stretch.

Street racing is a problem in the Hunter Valley/ Newcastle area, too. Officialdom say these people should use WSID for their outlet, but it's a 2.5 hour drive each way, plus the cost of competing. The Main adversaries to a proper facility (and it has been proposed several times by private business type folks over the last 10 years or more) are Council and Police. I can't fathom the reasoning behind the official attitude, as it takes the problem off the streets and puts it in a safer, more controlled environment. Also I thought Vigilante Law was illegal in Australia. If this is the case, then ergo the evidence gained was gained illegally and therefore inadmissable in a court of law. Any Legal Bods out there who can verify this suspicion?

I envy the US boys because I watch alot of drag racing on U-tube. I pay alot attention to the dragstrips they use. Alot of the strips seem to have just the basic tracks, no frills or over-expendature. They have so many more strips per head of population. I know there are legalities with insurance and liabilities. Surely there are 'use at own risk' options the racers could sign. Perhaps we should find what legal system they use in the US because if there is any country that is bottled up with legalities and liabilities, its the US. Yet they still seem to have many working, simple race tracks. Here in WA we have one dragstrip for the entire state!!! And a quality track it is but more simple tracks dotted over the state would help the racers habits!

Hmm not sure about the last coment, as I have attended meets at other venues including the north west (it was some time ago though), but must agree with the sentiment more cheap venues. It keeps people like me off the street and saves my drive way :+.

Was that the Newman drags? Isn't it an airstrip converted for special drag meets? Or is it always set up for dragracing? Haven't been myself but have been told about it.

Your right, it was Newman and set up for the event. Another is Collie that is more permanent.
Just indicating what comunities can organise if they see a need.

I think the main issue with drag strips in particular (and its probably something holding back other racing events) is the noise that comes with it.

Try and find an accessible area (in Perth at least) which doesn't have ten bajillion houses within 1km drive.

They were going to build an international F1 standard race track in Midland... of course that idea was scrapped.
Imagine the events you could have on that track that are so hard to do at Barbagallo.

I remember years ago there was a drag meet on a farm in Dowerin. The track was marked out on a really, shiny-hard clay pan, in a paddock.The Farmer had done alot of prep work, apparently. The boys still talk about it. A mate took his hq 2door Monaro up there and whipped a few of the Northam boys. Northam/Toodyay rivalry was thick back then. Anyway it was hell fun and good we sorted out who's cars did what safely and legally. Unfortunately my holden friend still gloats about beating all the fords that day.:_
