What we will do if you see the track and don't think it is suitable for your car on the day we are more than happy to refund your money before you start. It's always wise to walk the track to familiarise yourself again or go for the first walk to pick you lines.

 None    

On the 4th Mayon our club calendar we had planned for another cruise. AusGarage on the same day are holding their second "A Day For Car Enthusiasts" at Pine Rivers Park.
We attended this event last year as a club and it was a great day. Big mix of different car clubs, trade stalls, good food and most of a great social day.
We are looking at changing the cruise to this and will do the planned cruise route for our next cruise.

Info from the Facebook event page:

It’s on again! After the great success of our first "A Day for Car Enthusiasts" event last year we’re holding another one on Sunday the 4th May. This event is all about bringing car events back to the basics. Cars, food, enthusiasts and a great venue for a Sunday afternoon.

We’ll have a DJ playing on the day with entertainment and gourmet food. This is a chance for all automotive enthusiasts from Muscle, Euro, Japanese, hot rods, motorsport and bikes to display their vehicle, sit down and enjoy great company.

There’ll be a VIP section with 300 spots available to display your car in the amphitheater amongst the trade stands and entertainment. VIP parking is $10 and available for pre order with any spare spots sold on the day. (VIP tickets pre order available from 01/03/14)

For those who aren't looking to purchase VIP tickets we will have the oval below the amphitheater open for general public. This will be just a gold coin per car entry collected at the gate.

Car clubs are strongly encouraged, AusGarage appreciates that car clubs are the backbone of the automotive community and we would love to section off a location for your club on the day.


Facebook Event page for anyone wanting to follow it: https://www.facebook.com/events/668495866541977/

Due to the available spots for VIP display (which is what we will be doing) if you would like to come along and have a great day and display your car and represent our club if you could please post your interest so we can get an idea on numbers to let James know how much room we require.

The Club will have 12 spots at the event, come down and have a look

Well it is getting to that time of the year again where the first street sprint kicks off. This year as normal, the Gatton Street Sprints run by the Downs Motorsport Club will be the first of many.

The WRX Club of Queensland will be sure to have a great turn out, with many members entered to run at the two day event held on the streets of Gatton.

Anthony Bonnici will be there representing the club in his project car – a supercharged Commodore. Michael McMillan will be also making an appearance in this Evo 9 and will again be looking to continue his run of consecutive top 10 finishes.

Our club president will have his newly restored STi out and looking for a strong performance to back up from a good 2013 season. Steve Faulks and his STi will have his eyes firmly on a top 10 finish, despite not having run the event in the last 4 years due to car issues.

The main drawcard for the club and the event will be to see if Nev Scott and reproduce the speed that he has shown in the previous three Gatton's and become the first person to win the Gatton Street Sprints 4 years in a row.

Come on out to Gatton on the 15th and 16th of March and enjoy the cast of 130+ cars running.

.Well with World Time Attack Challenge 2013 only weeks away, Nev Scott and Steve Faulks are in the final stages of preparation and testing.

Both cars are currently having some last minute changes made, but are well on track to be ready in time.

Nev pilots the Car Mods Australia WRX which is competing in the hotly contested Open Class. The brightly coloured GC8 is not all about the looks; it runs an EJ20 blocked stroked to 2.1l, Custom fuel system, Dailey Engineering dry sump, TSSFAB F&R subframes and arms, Process West Intake, V-Mount and fuel rails, KAPS 6 speed sequential, Front-Alcon Monobloc 6 piston calipers W/355×34 rotors , Rear-STI brembo 2 piston calipers and 300mm rotors, Custom diffs, Custom built WRC spec cage, MoTeC M800 ECU, MoTeC CDL dash, fibreglass doors and lexan windows along with some trick custom aero.

All this adds up to a car that should be right on the weight limit and have over 450hp at the wheels.

Nev backs up from WTAC 2012 where he blitzed the Club Sprint class to come away with a well deserved win.

“We are returning in 2013 with one clear goal in mind. To win. Simple as that.” said Nev “We haven’t made the step up from Clubsprint to Open just to make up numbers. Last year we were very focused on our goal and as the record books show we achieved it. Our time from last year was even hard to believe at first for us but we know from the data there was still a lot more left in the car last year.”

Steve is the owner/driver of the Fulcrum Performance STi which is returning to Club Sprint class again, with the intention of bettering his 7th last year.

While a little more subtle than the Car Mods WRX, the Fulcrum Performance STi still hides some nice looking toys including a custom built NA Autosport 2.5l block with all the bits you would expect in a race car. Matched with the complete Fulcrum Performance package including Tein Super Racing N1’s, EDFC Active, entire SuperPro catalogue all help it go around corners. Performance Frictions Mono Block callipers with 355mm front rotors and standard rear callipers with Performance Friction pads all help pull the rather heavy MY05 STi up. Similarly to the Car Mods WRX, there is a full array of Motec ECU, Diff controller and dash.

With having to run standard doors and windows the Fulcrum Performance STi still tips the scales at about 1400kg and has about 420hp which is the main difference between Club Sprint and Open.

Steve said “With the entry list now published I think that the class is going to be very tight and offer great competition with the likes of Dan Farquhar, Jason Naidoo and Darrin Morrice all putting in very respectable appearances at the Vic Time Attack and the NSW Time Attack and not to mention Jason Wright being a home town boy with a lot of laps and a lot of power behind him. I am hoping the Fulcrum Performance STi will have the package on the day to keep these boys honest.”

The WRX Club of Queensland wishes Nev and Steve all the best for the 18th and 19th of October.

More information about the event can be found on Click Here and remember, they have the unique policy of fully open pits, so come by and say hi to Nev and Steve and check out their Time Attack race cars.
