It has been nearly 4 years since MCF was started (17th Dec 2005) and since then alot has changed and it’s about time we made a few big changes to the place.

So give me some feedback on what you would like to see either added or changed around here. Any criticism is welcomed, however it would be even more helpful if you could add in ideas as to how you would improve things around here.

For me personally, i’d like to move to a more magazine type of site. ie add in a bunch of tech articles, interviews etc… however I personally do not have the time to do this so would appreciate anyone who has anything to offer to put their hand up to write articles for MCF from time to time.

Keep in mind that whilst all input is welcomed, what actually gets changed will come down to a combination of time and $.

How do you win?

Give us a reason in a few words or images why you should get one of the DVDs. The mods and myself will decide on who had the best (read we want to laugh) answer, simple as that. We’ll announce the winners at the end of September.

Couldn’t be any easier really.

Your answer doesn’t even need to be related to the DVD itself, simply make us laugh and you’re in with a chance!

Thanks to Gup and www.powercruise.com for the DVDs to give away!

Lee and I had quite a long discussion and I really do hope that this will explain to a few people why what happened did happen and that it was pretty much taken out of the hands of the organisers.

The main focus of the discussion has centred around the burnouts / driving events being cut short.

The reason the burnouts had to be stopped is because there was a very strict EPA Notice (Environment Protection Authority) put on the event. The Notice specifics were that the burnouts were only allowed to continue if there was a minimum of a 5k wind blowing between South and West. Anything else meant the burnouts had to be stopped.

Lee had a weather station setup all weekend as they had to monitor the wind speed and direction every minute and document all of this for the EPA.

If the EPA Notice were ignored then Lee himself would have faced a $120,000 fine plus upto another $60,000 fine per day. The reason Lee himself would have face the fine is because he had to place the event under his name for the event to go ahead.

The next highly contested part was the mention of a golf buggy being able to run yet unregistered vehicles not? The reason for this is the insurance only covered registered and permit vehicles to be at the event. To get a permit to operate an unregistered vehicle all you have to do is visit the RTA pay $20 and you get a permit to use an unregistered vehicle. This permit however doesn’t enable you to use the car on the road. Lee and organisers did contact everyone who had already entered to let them know of these rules. HOWEVER they were unable to forewarn those who simply turned up on the day to use their car.

Why all of a sudden did the insurance only cover permit or registered vehicles only? The new committee at the speedway decided to pull the insurance they had from under Southcoast Nats at the very last minute so a new insurer was needed and the only insurer they could find at such late notice only allows for permit and registered vehicles to be at an event.

When it comes to the problem with the toilets, this is a bit of a non issue. The toilets were hired as a unit that is maintained by the driver all weekend. None of the event staff were made aware of the flooding toilets and none of them saw it to get on top of things. It’s most definitely not a passing of the buck, the toilets were to be kept clean and maintained by the driver.

Now some of you may ask why then would the event go ahead at this venue if all this was occurring? Well the new committee at the speedway didn’t communicate with Lee about the EPA Notice until the very last minute and withdrew their insurance at the last moment too. This left Lee and the Southcoast Cruisers car club in a shit of a position.

The good news is a new venue is being secured as we speak, Lee has pretty much got one in the bag which is a far better location with better amenities. Full grass areas, large bitchumen areas and closer to a much large town on the Southcoast. Lee will be announcing the new venue once it is all sorted out. The new event will not have any more driving events as the EPA Notice will still be a huge cloud above the event, so Southcoast Nationals will return to being a static car show with Dyno runs, Audio comp and more at a far far better venue.

Hope this clears a few things up.

A thread was started not too long ago requesting that an MCF Business Directory be started, where by members of MCF who own a business can list their services for other members / visitors to MCF.

The idea being that we then as a community can rate our experiences with each business, offer deals to members and most importantly feel safe that we are not going to be taken for a ride.

Now whilst this is a site dedicated to the automotive industry, there are alot who have businesses outside of the automotive industry on this site. So what i’ve decided to do is open the directory to all businesses.

For now all listings will be displayed on the same page as shown below (see image) on this page, once more businesses are added to the directory, it will be separated into categories and searchable.

Once a few businesses have been submitted, the directory will be linked to via every page on the website in the header (top) so that it will be easily reachable.

Also - every business listing will link to the members profile so that you will be able to contact them / read up on them very easily.

The costs associated for a listing is $75 for a 12 month period, this cost will go towards maintaining the site and also is a means of weeding out the bullshit.

All businesses that wish to submit their details will be screened, only members of MCF will be accepted and absolutely not BS sites or businesses will be listed. What do I mean by BS? Well if you sell snake oil you’re out basically.

To submit your business fill out the form here, all details must be filled out including your company logo. Filling out the form does not require any payment whatsoever, you will be sent an invoice and payment details once the submission has been screened.

Any problems, please feel free to contact me either via pm or via this contact page or simply fire away here.
