Definitely interested having missed the last one Shane organised. Should be much better with the manual box too!

Will shoot the money through once I get paid.

[jezz]

No worries that makes three people now organising cash so we should get our ten fairly easily.

My AE86 wont pass the noise restriction. My zaust is 109dba.

So i guess I cant come

[airocobra]

Would love to come , but even though should pass noise meter ( no problems at hill climbs ) . Sprinter not registered so it's not allowed . BUGGER !!!!!!

[jezz]

Link added to pre event information from 5th Gear.

So far i have three people locking themselves in to attend.

Jojo,

No chance of restricting your exhaust for the day? would be great to see the Sprinter out there in the pan.

Cheers

Jeremy

if its with 5th gear they have a thing they can put on your exhaust to quiet it down. they did it to my lexus as its way over the 85Db they want....

JoJo when Heidi took jase's sprinter on there with Rick Bates she had heaps of fun. he said second gear was a little long and first to short for the course as its pretty small. He could drift the whole track but he had to work hard for it. interseting to see if your new box is better suited to the course

[jezz]

Yep its with 5th Gear.

I will ask about the exhaust reducer.

Cheers

Jeremy

[riderzx10r]

[TWEETY]

Cheers

I'm keen, don't think wagon will be ready but might bring the land barge out for a run, I was out there the other week on a fork lift course.

Lunch time entertainment was watching the cops on the skid pan

[RP071]

To everyone that's concerned about the noise, don't stress too much, there are ways around it. The easiest is to do the course in 2nd gear, it's not like to you need to try so hard to get your car sideways with all the water mixed with oil....

[TheStitt]

I pretty sure i'll come, Laura is also keen she wants to learn to drive better,

would she be better in her car FWD mazda or in the v8???
