As per the tile.
Cams NSW Supersprint Round 4 entries have opened very quietly again.
Event is on 19th July 2017.
Entry is via the ARDC competitors page.

It has opened much earlier than the Supersprint website says it should. General Entries Open: Monday 19th June 2017
Supp regs say otherwise.
e) Preferential Opening Date for Championship Registrants 17TH MAY 2017
f) General Opening Date 31ST MAY 2017

Typical Garage debacle shall be happening again I suppose. $25 per spot!
I guess there will be empty ones again as I will be boycotting it as I'm sure others will as well.

Carports are $10.

Total pricing for my entry.
Competitor Gate Entry $255.00
Competitor Car Port $10.00
Dorian Hire $16.50
Total
$281.50

Not impressed that it is GP, originally this round could have been the extended track.
3 Gp's for 1 year is a bit much.
How about 2 Souths to make up for the lack of the Extended circuit instead. :)

You forgot to the add credit card processing fee of 2 or 3%. So getting close to $290 for anyone with a life.

Thanks for the heads-up Luke (again!). :beer:

Email going out to 'the list' re garages vs carports.

9, 6 same if you look at it upside down.

Buggered that up. I gather I got 19 from the general entries open section.
I would edit the 1st post but I cannot do so.

Edited it for you Luke.
Yes it is right up there on cost, compared to a MX-5 Club trackday at Wakefield with free timing and free carports, $160 total for early entry.
CSCA Supersprint Rnd 4 at Wakefield by AHOC is $190 total paid by transfer (no fee).

What happens if you don't hire a carport, just park in the open? BYO gazebo?
I've done 2 CSCA supersprints at Nth Circuit and both times carports were free.
Rnd 4 coming up on 18th run by NSWRRC with free carports and total cost of $260.10 on Credit Card, including Dorian hire.

After hearing about the debacle at Rnd 1 run by ARDC, with this one also run by ARDC and me being a non championship entrant I'm considering giving this one a miss.

Rd4 has been run and won - by us! By the princely total of 9 points!!!

Congratulations to our new record breakers - Scott and David J broke the records they set at Rd1 in 4A and 4B respectively. Congratulations also to Class winners - Scott and David, plus Tony, Matt and Ralph.

We had 18 registrants entered, and thanks to them we now have increased our 54 point lead to 63 - 1907 to ARDC's 1844.

It was a warm sunny day, and a total of one Type and six Class records were broken. I left early, but up to that point the day seemed to be running pretty smoothly, though there were a few red-flagged sessions for dead cars (no accidents I think/hope). Amongst our group in the carports there was a noticeably happier atmosphere compared to Rd1, making for a much more enjoyable day!

The next two Rounds are at SMP South (NSWRRC 27th August) and Wakefield Park (Mini CC SATURDAY 9th September). Both are great circuits for MX5s.

A few (too many) photos taken from around the track. It was a great way to break in a new camera. https://www.flickr.com/gp/138178876@N06/8P8440
