Wakefield Friday 5th of May

[flynsx]

we got a meeting place sorted out yet for thursday arvo?

[-GT-]

Was just thinking this morning how its only a week away and probably should get some details organised!

Ah, Dan, while i remember, as to someone getting some video for you, i've asked a few people and there'll be people around but can't guarantee someone will be able to do too much filming for you; its definately easier to have your own mate there!

I'm sure there'll be footage taken, it can just get a little hard to get it all together back off people. If you're bringing a camera i'm happy to come for a couple of runs and get some passenger footage for you, and probably sort some trackside stuff; i guess it depends how much and of what sort you're hoping to get?

As for accomodation, there's plenty of room incl for friends/partners/passengers, but i just need an idea of numbers for the booking. It's a dorm-style bunkhouse (with separate rooms of 4) on a property right next door, $20-$25/night (depending on final numbers, pay down there). Bring your own sleeping bag and pillow. Of course you're free to organise your own accom too if you want!

We generally all head down after work thursday, most of my mates are coming from the northern beaches, but i'm living in alexandria these days, and working in the city, so i usually pick them up as they come through near the airport, then head down the M5.

We aim to leave by 7ish. I'm pretty flexible, happy to make other arrangements depending on where you guys are coming from and what time you can get away. We've met people on the way through round crossroads etc if its too hard to get over east (understandable considering traffic etc). Where is everybody coming from and what sort of time can you comfortably get away? Ideally its easier to meet up somewhere before we head off rather than trying to meet on the move, but at the worst we meet at the shell/maccas 50km short of goulburn if we can't coordinate.

Also, remember you'll need either a CAMS licence, or a valid driver's licence to purchase a Wakefield licence for $40 on the day. Other important things are a helmet, and neck/wrist/ankle length clothing. And some warm clothes, its gunna be cold down there, esp at night!

i live at homebush mate so iam keen to meet up where ever i got 1 maybe 2 mates comming down with me to film shit for me

[JustenGT8]

Is one of your spots still up for grabs Joel?

[TurboRA28]

Sure is mate! Interested?

[TurboRA28]

I'll be staying down there on the Thursday night along with Mike also.
The Friday night we are going to stay in Goulbourn with a relo.

We were thinking of heading down a bit earlier on Thursday as both have the day off.. Would it be a problem if we got down there early?

[JustenGT8]

Yeah i am. Gonna be a bit gentle on the car as i need to keep it together until my other proj car is up and running. Need to get it squared away with work so let you know Mon.

[IN 05 NT]

hey if i decide to race at the last minute (pull some cash outa my arse..)

i should be able to pay on the day? or is it a closed session, not an open day?

oh, just looked at the site, Fri 05 May, 2006 Track Booked Privately

bummer, lol!

[-GT-]

Yeah, sorry mate, closed private day! Keep an eye out for the next one, we run them every 2 months or so.

[TurboRA28]

How'd you go Justen, able to get your CV sorted this week?

[JustenGT8]

How's this for crap...no CV boots in the country "don't keep them as too dear", nice work Toyota!! Anyways, all is not lost, found one at Repco for the princely sum of $11 so that issue should be right.

Just need to delicately broach the issue of a day off to the boss and i'm sweet. I'd say 95% at this stage

[JustenGT8]

Approval granted so that makes me 99.9%. Until that CV boot is in and i'm smoking it sideways up the road out of Bate's workshop there's still the chance Murphy may raise his ugly head...best i can do Joel :-)

[TurboRA28]

No probs mate, 99.9% sounds like pretty good odds to me

I'll hold the spot for you then but if it looks like you wont make it there let me know as early as possible..

Might have to try and twist your arm for a run in the passenger seat?

[JustenGT8]

Ditto, keen for a run in yours. I tried to talk Jack into coming along with my old 3SGTE powered TA22 but he's outta town. With stock internals he got 240rwkw before he ran out of injectors, with 680's it ran 270rwkw but it's back on the 540's again until a few little bits and pieces come together. Judging by the way it went when we went for a run at Dubbo it'll do the GT8 at Wakefield and it was back down around 200-220rwkw. Your car should fly.

Yup if it goes to shit i'll be straight onto you

Oi! Back of the queue!! Meh, as long as i can claim a spot anywhere in that queue i'm happy???
