    Default Wakefield Friday June 16th

    Yep, its time for another one! I figure you all know how the deal by now, but i've got to put something in this post, so;

    Cost: $140
    This doesn't include the electronic timers we had last time, still looking into this and will probably do it, will add $10-$15 to the cost. Also, before anyone asks (someone usually does) the keen-eyed amongst you will notice the costs sometimes change from one of my days to the next. This is because i organise this with 2 different groups of mates and we have a limit of 30 cars at one and 25 at this one. Hence why this one costs a little more. Also means not as many spots available.

    What you need: Helmet, Valid CAMS (or driver's licence to get Wakefield clubsport licence - $40/12 months), and neck/ankle/wrist length clothing. Also, bring a really warm jacket, goulburn is not the warmest place in the middle of june!! Especially if you're going to stay with us in the cabins on one/both nights (~$20/night)

    This will only be 6 weeks after the last one, still too long i think! But it may be a longer break till the next one... I really struggle to cope from one track day to the next

    Also, spectators/passengers are more than welcome, had a bunch down last time, it'd be good to see again.

    That's cool boys, that's the way things fall sometimes. Adam, i kinda had the same problem last time, i'd been in my new job no more than a day before i was telling the boss about the next day i'd need off for wakefield. Luckily, he's been down there for a few days by now so he was actually bugging me for when the next one was

    heading out to WSID on the 14th and don't think my suspension bits will be here in time for this one... (just)

    I have to get out there soon though...

    anyone know a good place to get some Falken 615s (in 205/50-R16)?

    Bah, pikers

    Stivo, re the tyres, you sure you can get them in 50's? I tried to get them when i was looking for 205/45's but couldn't. I found out later you can get 205/40s, so not sure about 50s? I do know there was a staged release on sizes, more have become available since i was looking.

    205/50 r16 is pretty common as Rexies can use them

    you could get them in the 215s so I just thought they would transfer the sizes to 615s too

    Yeah, i came off the st115's and figured i could swap straight across, but no go
    205/50's would be a bit big for me i think, having clearance issues with the (softer sidewalled) pirellis and not quite enough offset, and also the 205/40's will keep my speedo closer to correct.

    Finney, only spectating?? Surely this would be the perfect way to get back in the groove?

    I'll be keen for your next day GT, this one won't be possible.

    Just a note on the RT615 Falkens you guys are talking about. The Falken global site lists a 205/40R16 as being available and on Friday I went to my local Falken dealer to order a set, he called Falken and they informed him that they aren't doing that size in Aus He actually said to me when he got off the phone they won't be doing anything under 17" in the RT615 Even though a member of this forum said he has 615s in 15"

    If someone tracks down a tyre outlet that does an RT615 in 205/40R16 then let us all know

    Have a good time at the track

    that is crap from Falken Aus... for some tarmac rally events they do not allow you to drop below a 40% aspect ratio. Many older classics run on 15s and 16s. Now I suppose they all have to pay top $$$$ for Yokis . Oh well, looks like I may have to invest in some 17s for the track then, but I'd have to run 215/45-R17 as they do not do 205/45 or 215/40 in semis. The only problem is that the 215/45s scrub big time.
