I'm thinking of starting a new Arca comp on Race2Play
hoping to start one with a lot of Aussie's and anyone who want's to race a weeknight at Aussie time GMT+8
I wanted to get some idea of numbers of Aussie's and anyone else
This would be run on a say Wednesday night in Australian time Wesern Australian time 7pm or 7pm USA time I think

Please Post to let Me know
I love the Arca Season i race at the moment on Sat & Sun Mornings @ 9am which is great
But i think alot of aussie's might race on a weeknight

Hope you get some positive response from your Aussie m8's.

This would have been a perfect time for me to race before they tweaked my work hours. That's 4am pst (California), so just past my current bed time. I've also had to drop my Aussie league V8 racing because of my new work hours. : (

Good luck Stan.

There aren't too many Aussies on here Stan. I did a search a few weeks ago and found the only ones active in the last few months were me, Steve Davis, Peter Valkovic, Tom Gregerson, Barry Kennedy, Andrew Turner and you (and Kris Trott I've seen since). I guess the time-zone just doesn't work.

I'm from Oz Jonty but have been living in L.A for the past 4 years & the way things are shaping up will probably be here another 4.

Aha - I knew I was the only one silly enough to wake up at 5.30am for the BM and Meganes....

Hey guys. I am seriuosly looking at buying ARCA, can anyone share their experience having it delivered to Australia, does the $49.95 + $5.99 apply to us? Is it available to buy anywhere in Australia.
If all is good, you can prob coount me in on any future Aussie series you guys may want to run.
