cost to enter FX - ASC at eastern creek

[Condor]

Not that I am going to apply anyways,….. But

From what i can gather on there forms its not overly expensive to register maybe $600 with the friday ?



Is that right or am I missing something???? Would have thought it was way more to be honest.

entry 650
tyres 1575
fuel 250
accomo 500-700
bike prep 500 ish for basic stuff

not expensive you say??

600s are much cheaper - tyres are cheaper, fuel is quite a bit less, and you wouldn't be staying in the luxury 5 star accommodation that chubb has clearly chosen

Entries aren't too bad for any race meet (FX, ASBK, St George etc). Don't forget garage costs!! They are the hidden expense with FX and ASBK. But race meets are usually roughly in line with track day costs, or somewhat less (eg a 3-day race weekend is less than the cost of 3 track days). The tradeoff is normally less overall track time. Unless it's a race meet that you can cross-enter for a low price (St George, FXRRC, ASBK. Note NOT FX proper). Then you get MORE track time than the equivalent number of track days, and for less coin.

The other 'hidden' expense (in FX primarily) is tyres. If you have to run a control tyre, they are not typically the longest-lasting or potentially best suited to your bike, and you need to buy more of them. Also you often just can't use old tyres, as they change the compound, so you need to buy new ones. Great for the people making the money, not so good for the competitor.

I'm trying to bum off Kitson for accommodation. I think I need to give him a gold bar.

Yeah but it's, like, a whole entry fee again. Actually I think it's come down a bit now, but it's still not cheap.

... and that's FX/ASC in a nutshell.

[Condor]

Hmm I see, Thats pretty pricey In that regard. I guess I was just going off my Riding at the moment I.E.

- would not need any bike prep ( if same rules as st george apply )
- 1 set of tyres would pretty much last me the weekend
- Also live 40 min from the track.

I was always under the impression that the actual entry fee was around 2K

[Little Mick]

2k is what a full weekend with accommodation and 2 sets of tyres was costing for f oz
