Pete, that's been covered in the other thread.
You need an L2S before the event, which means joining a CAMS affiliated club.

Hey guys, just letting you know that you do not need to pay when entering yet.

Thought I'd give you a heads up on the competition! Boosted Faclon should dominate the drags and for those that don't want to take there car out on the track there is a show'n'shine.

Euro's, JDM, Aussie muscle, exotics, drag machines, track hacks, hot hatches, time attack entrants, back yard mechanics and forum enthusiasts in general.

Representing Supra forums Danny's car is indeed a clean example.
Image

Think your car could keep up with this bad boy? Grandma spec AE86 entering for some fun and to represent AE86 Driving Club.
Image

Kyne’s Golf GTI is a well thought out machine, made to look aggressive and go when needed.
Image

Stock Astra? Think again, 280kw at the wheels and he's not finished yet!
Image

This Aussie muscle car might have dominated the drag strip with 480rwkw but has chosen to enter the show'n'shine. Drag competitors can let out a sigh of relief.
Image

2.5L conversion, Will shall fly the flag for JDMST in the time attack category. Model in photo is Bettina Banks for those wondering. Google it!
Image

This Vr4 started life as a grocery car and is now Australia's fastest road legal Galant.
Image

You just got beat..By a Wagon! fullBOOST and Warren will be doing what they do best; the 1/4 mile
Image

Nope, this isn’t your everyday CE Lancer GLi with a knock off Evo bodykit. Luke’s cars is the real deal!
Last year it won the Victorian Hillclimb championship (4wd Sedan class).
Image

Looks like a hot hatch battle is emerging in the FWD class for time attack. Rory has thrown his hat in the ring for OPELAUS with a very neat Astra VXR Nurburgring Editions.
Image

Show'n'shiney! Exterior has a custom full respray in Morpheus purple with custom airbrushed TME decals in carbon fibre & real flames, carbon fibre wing. Interior is also a custom 4 seater recaro conversion with full retrim in German yellow custard leather.
Image

Keeping the smell of fuel in the air is Glen in his Time attack RX7.
Image

A Lotus Esprit GT300 GT2 LeMans Racer!
Image

DAP-R Springs 40mm drop at the front, 50mm drop at the rear!
Image

Jason being a seasoned time attack entrant is no stranger to the tarmac, competing in this years World Time Attack Clubsprint class setting a 1:43.0420 lap.
Image

Carbon tax!
Image

Open class entrant Nik Kalis. This well sorted car will be great to watch at the time attack discipline.
Image

Micheal or better known as SP BLING on Oz Mazda owner steps up to represent his forum.
Image

Bought for a measly $1200, John’s Track Hack AW11 has spent most of 2011 in the garage being brought back to life. He is the first to admit to Forum battle that it isn’t going to win any Show and Shine awards. And it never will!
Image

A regular track day addict, a Circuit Club organizer and an Advan Neova Cup Competitor, Narada has been to Wakefield ( 2hr South west of Sydney) more then most.
Image

The first to enter forum battle was Darrin who wsa bitten by the track day bug has constantly been developing his Evo X.
Image

Euro Revolution owner Sebastian enters in his brand spanking new Golf R. Team Euro Revolution has a few more cars entering so stay tuned to our facebook page: ARC Forum Battle 2012 | Facebook
Image

More to come...

Does your car have what it takes to compete? Or just looking to have a little fun?

Forum Battle Update

Good news forum users. Struggling to decide whether to track your car or enter it in the show’n’shine? Why not do both! Any one competing in the Time attack, Rally, drags or Gymkhana will automatically gain free entry into the Show & Shine!

Plus competitors get to nominate 2 Pit Crew members who will gain entry to the event for $10 a day. As car nuts we know the benefits of having a spare pair of hands around when working on cars. Whether we were doing an engine conversion, swapping a gearbox or simply bleeding brakes the job was made easier and more fun with mates. So bring 2 of your best mates down and even if they don’t know how to change a tyre at least you’ll have somebody cheering you on .

Image

Sup regs have been updated and finalised, a copy can be found here: http://www.rally.com.au/images/stories/Forum_Regs_SR_030112.pdf

As if you needed another excuse to get involved; The second prize pool announcement is up. Forum battle is happy to have Motul, DBA , and Bendix come on board and support Forum Battle.

1. Motul – x6 oil and Motul fluid packs to give away worth $1200
2. DBA – x2 pairs of 4000 series
3. Bendix – x4 SRT( Street Road Track) sets of pads

After owning a straight LPG turbo EL Fairmont and an EB Falcon wagon converted to V8. This is Pete’s sensible car, it started as a pov pack GLi, complete with random mis matched colored body parts, stuck on fake vents and stickers everywhere. But an almost new Impco LPG system was too good to refuse ( especially with today’s petrol prices ).

Quickest NA I6 Falcon in Australia and only getting quicker, Scott’s aim is to get his 230rwkw EA Falcon it into the low 12′s without the help of boost or laughing gas. A loyal Boosted Falcon member for many years Scott will be representing Boosted Falcon in the 1/4 mile drag and hoping to get further into the low 12′s.

Forum battle wants each and every competitor to be able to go home with a proper Motorsport adrenalin filled day so why not make Forum Battle a full day of racing? Satisfy those track cravings by entering multiple events. Mix it up, Gymkhana and Drags or Rally and Time attack. Plus entering one or more motorsport category gains you free entry to the Show’n’Shine.
By entering multiple events you increase your forums chances of taking out the title of 2012 Forum Battle Outright Winners as well as having a better chance to take home a chunk of the prize pool (prize pool is now valued at around $13,000 with more to be announced). Sponsored cars will also be able to take advantage of the TV / online coverage Forum Battle will be providing.

I want to enter the drags, but I’m not sure if my car meets requirements?
Drag requirements here: http://www.calderpark.com.au/competitor ... acing.aspx

I want to race but I don’t have a CAMS Licence?
We are organising a single day licence with CAMS now so stay tuned…

What Tyres can we use?
Tyre information can be found here: http://forumbattle.com.au/2012/02/02/bu ... clarified/

Lastly for up and coming Photographers/bloggers wanting to shoot and cover Forum battle please contact us via email to organise media passes: support@forumbattle.com.au
