dat2kman Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 $2400 entry fee s a touch more than the original FOSC Easter meetings, at $800 odd per car,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozza Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 And $1500 for regularity but, is there any cheaper option to do full laps at Bathurst? I think I read 2:40 minimum lap times which will rule out a lot of the big boys and give us little blokes a chance. I think it's great that they are at least giving us the opportunity.

1600dave Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 $1500 is a decent jump from the $800 for regularity with FoSC in 2010, but I don't reckon it's too bad for two days at Mt Panorama. Plus FoSC had 700-odd cars, this one says only 250. End of the day, you won't get on there any cheaper nowadays. For anyone wanting to have a crack at Bathurst (and I know there are a couple here), get in while you can ! 2:40 is still quick enough to scare yourself. I was a long way off that time and was alternately terrified and exhilarated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dat2kman Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I was doing 2.43's in the Datsun Sports 2000, and 2.45's in the 280Z. In race events, with FOSC. Certainly gives you a thrill 50 cars all starting at the same time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Expect to see a certain recalcitrant V8 Zed there, whatever it takes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
