hey all so wanting to head to WSID in the coming weeks and have a few questions
is there access to tyre gauge/pump? Im coming from Canberra and want to swap wheels when i get there, are you able to hire somewhere to store wheels/tools? And im sure I'll have more so any tips for a newbie would be great, I'll be running my manual xr6 turbo.

i want to head down soon as well, its been about 6 years since the last time i took a car to wsid
took my own tyre pressure gauge, there is the shell servo near by and you can pump up the tyres on the way home you are allowed to bring in a second car/pitt crew with you and you can store your rims and tools in that car |

head out to Rocket and buy a tyre gauge it's just around the corner from WSID we use one similar to this http://shop.rocketindustries.com.au/products/AU2343 does the trick and is cheap as. or go to Supercheap get a gauge there also, get something 0-60psi that way u can check fronts n back. you can pump the tyres at the Shell as someone said or buy a 12V pump also from SuperCheap that is all we use, you can buy some as cheap as $50.
to store the stuff you will need another car or something there is nowhere to lock them up. |

Storage is not available , however if WSID was clever i think they could have a setup where you could HIRE a small storage unit for tyres tools and such .....
There are no facilities for Air or anything there , basically bring what ya run and race . If your changin tyres , you either run the risk of leaving the pile of stuff in the pits and hope its still there , or find someone trustworthy you can leave it with .

We haven't had anything taken.. NOT that we leave too much to take...
This is one reason why cars are trailered... A small lock and chain around tyres, tool box ???
