Budget Auto Racing in Vic ?/

[BoostedT]

Hey Guys ,

Just thinking about the Global Credit crisis and how expensive most fun things are to do at the moment.

So , some mates i have in Tassie , Told me about www.1kracing.com .. Heres a Quick Rundown of it .

The 1kracing series is a designed to be a low cost competition to test a combination of driving, car tuning, modification and bargain hunting ability. Competitors are encouraged to field a team with one or more people, to test their all-round car abilities against others. The competition itself will be a series of events at a private, sealed venue. Vehicles do not have to be road registered and a current driver's license is not required to partake in the competition.

Participants are to field a car that has cost no more than $1000 on the day. This cost includes:

1. The original purchase price of the car,
2. Cost of any repairs to the car,
3. Cost of any additional modifications done to the car,
4. Any payments made to others working on the car.

Now to some this sounds like a Half Assed Idea , but after speaking to some guys at the Morwell hill Climb , its not as half assed as you would think ..

Just wondering , if anyone knows of One already in Victoria i could Join , or by a Slim Chance , Would Anyone have Any Interest at all , if one was started up..

Cheers
Daniel

Pretty good idea, watched a thing on Top Gear where in Finland they have a similar thing but to keep it fair at the end of the day any competitor can buy any race car they want for $1000. So you can spend as much as you want but if somebody wants your car and have the $1000 you have to sell it.
It would be good to see some low cost 'fun' racing.

It is pretty tough for some at the moment and others are a little cashed up from the Gov handouts.
