.:: CHANGES FOR 2008 SPRING
::.
20/08/2008
There
are once again a few changes for the next Championship. The main one,
is an increase to the entry fees across all divisions and packages.
Increased costs from SIRC have left PDNR with no option but to pass
on the increase to drivers. The increase was absorbed by the club
for the Autumn Championship, but starting with the Spring Championship
and increase will occur. Download an entry form for the 2008 Spring

4 2008 PDNR DRAG SERIES
::.
Rnd
4 of the 2008 PDNR Drag Series ran like clock work.
When Graham and Rod Broke the 100 kms/Hr early in PDNR's Drag racing History we thought this was great. But hasn't the benchmark been moved since then. With Dragster Leigh "Quick as Flash" Naylor breaking 120km/h in the 1/4 finals, unfortunately he was 0.033 too quick out of the Hole giving him a Red Light and eliminating him for the night.
Leigh currently holds 3 Records, Click
Here. We do hope he can run 120 km/h again at Rnd 5 on 30th August 2008.
Well done to Corey Fraser, Jake Cash, Jim Brown and Dave Bush who acheived their First Wins for the 2008 Championship.
Full results can be seen here, Click

It was good to also see some new faces on the Strip. Hope to see even more at Rnd 5, when the weather warms up a little.

.:: PDNR WORKING BEE - HELP REQUIRED
- MAY 25 ::.
PDNR
are holding a working bee on Sunday May 25 and the committee are seeking
the help of all PDNR members (and any other volunteers that may be
available). The track equipment is in desperate need of a overhaul
and a good tidy up, especially with preparations
well under way for the biggest event ever to grace PDNR - The 2008
Winter Champs (June 27 - 29)
The Working Bee is being held at the Sydney Internation Regatta Centre
over at the clubs shipping container (near SIRC maintenance sheds
- if you don't know where that is, head towards the P5 RTA car park
- South bank - and keep going past the sky diving marquee) There will
be many jobs that need hands so the more helpers the better - even
if you can only spare an hour, it all adds up!
If you would like more information or have access to equipment that
may assist with the maintenance, please see a PDNR committee member.
.:: PDNR LAUNCH NEW CONTROL CLASS
::.
PDNR
are about to again test the waters of a control class. The 2008 Autumn
Championship, which starts on May 20 (Round 1) will accommodate a
class based solely for the EDAM Exer 1/8 scale on-road car. Preparations
for many drivers are well under way with several of these cars already
competing in the current Open Pan division. It should be great to
see some close racing between drivers all using the same equipment,
and the major supporter of the class, JPM Racing (who are a club sponsor
and impoerter of the EDAM Exer) have donated an EDAM Razor as a type
of lucky entry prize for the class. More information is available
by downloading
the flyer.
.:: PDNR TO HOST 2008 WINTER CHAMPS
::.
The
2008 Winter Champs, the sister event to the Summer Nats which are
organised and promoted each year by Racing Lines magazine,
will be held for the first time at PDNR. Naturally PDNR are excited
to announce that they have been given the opportunity to host this
major event, and are looking forward to putting on a great meeting
- as PDNR have a reputation of doing! More information will be available
closer to the date, but make yourself available on June 28 (GP - Nitro)
and June 29 (EP), with Practice scheduled for Friday June 27.
PDNR will be calling on help from Members to assist with many duties
on both the Saturday and Sunday, so if you are able to volunteer your
services for this event, please talk to Race Control.
