welcome frazer... good luck in your first race

Hey Frazer!

Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy the game and the site. Now you've been accepted take a look at some of the stuff provided in the box to the right. This can help you come to terms with some of the basics of the game in a more simplified way (so you can just race to WIN!! )

Good luck!

Welcome Frazer! There is a lot to take in, so if your not sure don't be scared to ask someone We're all rather friendly around here

pocoklaci might mean something foreign in a dirty language or vice versa. Either way for his possible disrespectful attitude he will no longer have access to the forum.

G'day Guys.
My name is Howard, go by the nick of Austshadow.
From Bundaberg and been playing GPRO for a few seasons now.

Gday guys, I'm Gazz from Alice Springs. 
Been racing since season 39 and still got heaps more to learn yet.

Hey Guys,

Im Warwick and i currently live in Toowoomba. Been racing for a couple of years now and i am currently sitting in Pro trying to work out the best way to stay there. 

Was super lucky to jag a spot at STR super early in my GPRO career and they have helped me get a decent grip on how the game works.

Looking forward to helping other Aussies get involved in the game.

Hi - middling amateur. made it to pro, but still perplexed by some of the nuances of the "game"

Welcome guys

G'day folks, looking forward to the tips...

Hey guys, thanks for the invite!

Afternoon guys!

I am Chris and I live in the Hawkesbury area near Sydney.

Recently missed out on retaining in PRO by a single point (a whole thing!) and it has thrown out my perfect "GPRO plan". All is well though rebuilding and building towards another push soon. I was a part of the Screw Loose clan and they really help teach me some ins and outs. 

My GPRO two cents: long term success I think comes from securing a young driver (cheaply) and training him like no tomorrow.

Random info: I am 75% through an XC falcon Barra Turbo conversion build (1000hp). I am completing the build for Drag Week 2021 or 2022 (depends on $ later this year...).

Happy to help out where I can 

Chris, 

Lived in Bligh Park for about 8 years, left in about 2015. Went to the car club events almost every year I was there, we may have met before.

Anyone else living in QLD at the moment?

Hi I am David from Ipswich in Qld. For recreation I race an MX-5 in Prod Sports and love all things motorsport. I am the pastor of a local church, hence the guys refer to me as "Faster Pastor".
I was diagnosed with cancer 5 months ago with 13 internal melanomas, of which was declared all clear 3 months later. 
Once the effects of the treatment is done I hope to be back at the track (QR) on the 20th Feb. 
Meanwhile my with  GPRO strategy is to go from Amateur to Pro with this driver or I will need to start with a new driver and rebuild funds for another couple of seasons. The next 3 races should help me make that decision. 

All the best guys.

It is a mighty small world Luke! Bligh Park is just over the bridge for me, as I am based in North Richmond. We did last week have the pleasure of beating Bligh Park last week in Cricket  The might fine battle of East VS West of the Hawkesbury. 
Loads of motorsport around Sydney, it is fantastic!

Just curious do they still have stuff on? 
Any photos of your car mate? 

I know Hawksbury is a car club town, but I may have seen it before especially if you drive around the Windsor area.

Yeah the car scenes is still pumping. Plenty of car meets and car events going on (generally something to head to every fortnight ish). Eastern Creek has just reopened after its big resurface and all the drag events are well and truly underway. 

What about where you are based? much going on?

Saved her from the wrecking yard in 2017 and have really made some progress over 2020 (a positive to come from covid I guess - time and excuses to "stay home and accidently work on the car")

Haven't seen it around because the colour scheme is so awesome I would've remembered it for sure. She's come up mint brother, good work there!

Hi all. I'm Ben from Penrith NSW.
I've been playing GPRO for just over a year and have managed to get to Amateur  for the second time this season. I am hoping to learn a lot more about the game to help me stay up and possibly progress further.
From my 3rd season I started to record most of the data from my races which has helped a lot.

Welcome Ben, please tell me you are a Panthers fan. I am looking forward to seeing them go one better this season.
