AFR09 Tickets on sale now.

[Gix11]

Hi Guys, I have spent my whole Saturday trying to get the AFR website done. It's just more than I can handle on one Saturday to get it all complete but I have done the important part which is the ticket sale pages. I will update the rest as and when I get time, but for now everyone has chance to get themselves a full weekend ticket for the weekend of the year!

Post any questions to me or here and I'll try and get to them later.

Cheers guys and thanks for your support!

UPDATE: I have now added NON RIDER weekend passes. Due to the shear scale of organising this, plus cost, and the hassle we had last year we are only doing 3 day passes this year for riders and partners. You don't have to stay the whole time obviously (or turn up on the first day) but we can't do "Two day spectator and one night camping but no this and some of the other" routine as it is just not viable and causes problems. I hope you all understand as I'm trying my best here to get this as a well oiled machine and pay the costs! I promise you it will be worth it!!

[miniman1]

Good work n d site mate, but now i just need to figure out if i can come or not :(

[Seifer]

Raaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr!!!!

[Jockney Rebel]

awesome si

[Stocky]

I got mine.

Worked a treat for me thanks mate.

[suxukifreak]

Si, what are prices on day passes and no camping weekend passes?

[Weaselman]

And whats the cost for non riding members attending? E.G. the missus

[jakam04]

Si,

Will be buying my ticket shortly. Will the camping area be limited site area per person? I am bringing my camper trailer which will no doubt house a few other members as well... Will i be able to park my 4WD next to it to keep things cold in my engel (Milk that is ;) )

[Gix11]

Des, as mentioned in my updated first post, we are doing full weekend passes for riders and full weekend passes for non riders. Daily entries will have to leave at 6pm before the night time festivities start.

Andy, just added them to the AFR website mate.

Jarrod, Camper Trailer is fine mate, the sites are even powered as far as I remember. I'll check it out for you if you want.

Fire away with any other questions guys.........

[suxukifreak]

So is there a price for general public day passes ?

[Gix11]

Hey Des, as yet we haven't worked out what the daily spectator passes and night time passes will be yet, we'll sort it nearer the time mate. Trying to organise the camping allocation and get rider numbers at the moment to work out schedules.

[Harry]

g'day si...will ya be able to get tickets at the up coming dyno day at stayplton ?and i'll pay that full membership as well..got ta do the cash thing mate,no plastic.

[Gix11]

Sure Harry, that applies to anyone else that will be there as well.

[birdman]

Si, I put in a bank deposit for 2 full weekend passes for riders and 1 full weekend pass for 1 non-rider but the "send details" button didn't seem to do anything. The money is sent though ($505). Just letting you know... Me and the missus had an absolute blast of a time last year.
Ian.

[Gix11]

Hey Ian, Great to hear from you mate! I'll have a beer with you track side this year rather than leaving it till the last day! Good on ya mate.

Can you email me directly with the details needed and I'll work out what the hell is going on with that damn form!

[Gix11]

Ok, that's fixed again. If you want to Ian, just use the form again on the AFR site as all I have to do is match the payment to the details. Cheers mate.

[Weaselman]

Im going dont worry but the payment wont be made till closer to the date

[Harry]

Banana's si.......see ya at the dyno day mate :)

[Lance]

Is it an option to ride just for the one day? Cheers.

[BANDITROD]

mate the one day tickets are always a bit of a pain but we still try to cater for everyone ....i was charging $80 last year for day passe's and this year there will more to do and look at ...:D

now on another note i ask as members we should be happy that there is such an event for us to go to i mean where else can you get all of this in a weekend ....the UK.

Right i am not trying to put anyone off but the sheer scale of organising this event is mental
and then when its getting close we have alot of people critising the way its going to be done..

we try our best to cater for everyone ..even though its a streetfighters event we are aware that not everybody is into them ...which is why this years cost have gone up it cos of the extra perks that we didnt have last year i.e. dyno shootout,freestyle fmx ...

now if i was planning to go for one or two days i would still pay for the weekend ...why you ask cos i know how much this site and this event will end up costs to run.As far as i am concerned it is totally worth every fucking penny ..up untill two years ago i hadnt even modded a bike properly then when the time come the info and comments from members helped me save thousands of dollars (not hundereds) and all we are asked to do is cover the running costs..
so to me that is way worth it ...


i dont mean to rant on but all year we have the topic running and we have alot of talk but fuck all action and i myself have done fuck all till now ....

so if helping out means $195 worth of awsomeness for the best time you will have all year then sign me up..............

[Lance]

I totally agree that it will be value for money, but I just cant afford the weekend pass at the moment, I'm racing the weekend before and two weeks after, just bad timing! I will tell them to not run any race meets this time next year [:o)]

[BANDITROD]

thats ok mate that wasnt aimed at you either

[GodimGood]

Is it ok to put my bike in a ute and drive it down there and then park my bike with everyone else. At nite ill be staying in a nice hotel away from the action and astmophere. Is that ok?

[suxukifreak]

I'll come around with a shovel to help you load all your GS pieces in the ute.

[BANDITROD]

hahahahahahahahahaha you tell him des

[Jockney Rebel]

[Gix11]

Hey guys, after much conversation and bashing of heads we have come up with the appropriately named "Pussy Whipped Pass" (we all know the real reason you can't come for the weekend). Check the AFR site to get full details: www.aprilfoolsrun.com.au - hopefully this will answer all the emails I've been getting and put a few minds at rest. One more thing, I have been getting so much feedback that I can guarantee if you thought last year was good, this year will mess with your head! I'm flat out busy with it but excited as all hell! Strap yourselves in...

[suxukifreak]

No pussy pass for me, im down for 2 (sat-sun) spectator passes. :)

[Gix11]

Can't take the pace anymore des? How come you don't want to ride this year? The daily spectator pass was aimed at the locals who don't ride bikes. Didn't you enjoy last year's AFR? Give me some feedback mate.

[suxukifreak]

I dont want a dyno run (standard motors) or to do a burnout (stunt guys are more entertaining),
and if i want to get a real 1/4 mile time (better grip)i can go to Willowbank.

So im riding down both days (TL then 14) pay $30 entry against $150

Just my 2 cents. :)

No i dont, i also dont pay $300 for a set of brake/clutch levers that in no way improve the performance of a bike and then put up pics of it and sit back and have a wank every time some says "ohh nice bike des". Ohhh Just me 2 cents worth.

Cessnas
Piper cherokee 6
PA 38 tomahawk
Parton Aviator

Also did some time in a Bonanza and skyvan

[BANDITROD]

my dear god ...you mean to tell me the someone let you operate a plane

[Weaselman]

I took the controls of my first plane when i was 12
Id still be flying if it wernt for the cost of renting one

Id rather own my own

I'm with ya there. i used to fly similar types C210 Be58 and the like. But it's just too bloody expensive now. I'm thinking of taking just a Cherokee. That's all i can afford these days.

[Weaselman]

from who mate and what are they charging?

And what avgas running at nowadays?

Cheers... see you there

[mr.zxr]

quote:Originally posted by Weaselman

From schoies at bankstown. $160/hr wet. thats about $40 cheaper than the going rate elsewhere beacause it is run as a club(non-profit). AVGAS about $1.80ish a litre i think. i don't pay too much attention as the hire rate is a wet rate.

[Weaselman]

Do you know the flying time route and range?

im guessing its a cherokee 6 then?
Cus im very interested if you want a 2nd stick man

[mr.zxr]

Not a 6 mate. they would run at about $350/hr.[:0] I'm thinking about 3.5-4hrs each way.its 330nm direct. Casino has no fuel so i would probably stop at Coffs for fuel. once i find out more details of when the aerodrome is available i'll let you know. i only have a VFR licence so that could be issues aswell.

I didn't know you could get a VFR only licence is that a new gay pride thing? I know that only poofters ride hondas after all.

Well weather we cant help.
but 4 hours can be done easy enough. we'll see what happens

And yes cruise im a very good stick man

[Gix11]

If you can land on grass without problem the pilot geezers are having a "fly in" event over the same weekend from what I heard from Stu. They only use the grass next to the runway itself. Yes, that does mean you get chance to race planes on bikes. I have another mate that wanted to fly in as well so I'll confirm for you when I can.

[mr.zxr]

Ok thanks. that shouldn't be a problem.

[Gix11]

Hey Josh, just spoke to Stu. Look up the details of Casino Areo Club in your ERSA guide and you they'll tell you about what you need to do to fly in. Should be sweet as they are fans of the event as well.

[MONO]

Hey Si, Missed you at Casino on the weekend - we were there around 1.30pm however we did see some AFS shirts at the local servo.

We will try and get down to AFR around lunchtime on Thursday so we can give you a hand setting up. Will fix you up for the tickets then.

Will there be any powered sites available to be used ?

Anyway when we were there on the weekend we got a chance to see the strip and the huge area that I am sure will be full in April!

LET THE MADNESS BEGIN 3rd,4th & 5th .

Hey Nigel, there will be heaps of powered sites, mostly powered by beer, bourbon and rum.

[Gix11]

If anybody knows they are definitely buying weekend tickets could they do it sooner than later please? I ask because I have to find the funds to pay stuff up front to secure it all. Thanks to all those guys that have bought their tickets already - you have secured a lot of things! Cheers.

[opindown]

howmany tickets have sold if you dont mind me asking. What sort of number of people turn up to this event? tell me only if you wanna.
BTW i have to sort out some funds to get there. being unemployed sucks!

[Weaselman]

i'll try and sort my shit out this week

[bluemk1]

I wouldn't worry about it man! Probably around 40-50% of the bikes there will have fairings to some degree or another! Remember - the AFR is not JUST for fighters, so tell your mates!

[Bear]

It's a place of temptation for fairing'd riders. :D

[Weaselman]
