Wakefield Park Track Day - Friday 7th of September!!

[-GT-]

Correctomundo; well actually;

ARDC membership = two free, then cheap, trackdays at EC; + free spectator entry to everything + 6x guest passes.

So Steve, are you saying you're still a maybe? Shane, are you a chance?

My babysitting duties have been moved to tonight so i'll be right to leave by maybe 8pm tomorrow, say 9pm at brooks rd to be safe? I'm assuming i'll be packing the car tonight, but where does that leave people?

[Draven]

yeah, I gotta do an oil change tomorrow after work and before leaving, so 9pm sounds good

[dnegative]

Should be there for 9PM, got a heap of work and fabrication to do so my brother can have a bucket seat lol

Wheel alingment is done, car was dropped off at brake shop to get rear lines made, front calipers fitted & brakes bled.
I told him I'm trying to get to a track day for Friday, so I'll give him a call in the arvo to check.
So unfortunately, I've still only a maybe.

How close is the accomodation for numbers for both nights?

[wagonist]

If I do make it, I'll ring, but I won't be making the Brooks Rd meetup.
Garth, can you PM me your number please. I can't remember if I've got your latest one.

[xero]

Is anyone heading down early? I am leaving work at 3 tomorrow to try and beat traffic. Tossing up whether I come home and dick around for a couple of hours and met up with you guys or try and entertain myself in goulburn....

[trdee]

I can do 9pm. see yas there.

Steve, i don't really know where things have ended up with spots but send me a msg when you know either way, i'll ask the other guys if we still have room. Number is 0401 433 543. Accommodation - well there's room but after this week it sounds like there's only linen and beds made for the numbers we've given, it was a complicated few phonecalls. So i will need some notice there to make sure you're right, unless you bring the sleeping bag and be prepared to sleep on the couch.

Guys, i'm juggling a sick wife and recovering baby but fingers crossed i'm still good to come down tonight. I didn't get the car packed last night but i did charge the go-pro. I should be right but i'll let you know if i'm going to be late or not coming tonight.

Dneg, foamy, xero; PM me your mobile numbers if you want direct notice, otherwise you can hear via Vito/Greg when you get there.

Anything else anybody wants/needs to know? Remember licence, helmet, long clothes, closed shoes, beer, money. Which reminds me, i may need to grab another $5 or so to cover the accommodation so bring some extra cash - there won't be anything in the pizza/beer kitty i don't think but i won't know final cost until we work it out tomorrow unfortunately.

Edit: Steve, i can line you up if you get in, let me know asap. Shane if you're still lurking, same goes for you.

I just rang the shop. Braided lines are done & they're bleeding the brakes as I type this, so I'm all go to go!!!!

Leaving for Brooks road in 10 mins

[wagonist]

Well, that was an "interesting" day. Got to get my tyres reseated because of grass caught in the beads due to spinning.

Really got to figure out something to stop the rear swaybar rubbing on my coilovers. It's got to be causing some kind of binding.

Finding out that the bolts that hold the 2 halves of the floating rear calipers together were only finger tight was good too... Would that cause only the piston side of them to be working?

[JustenGT8]

The weather was far from interesting...shithouse is closer to the mark

Big thanks to Draven for some wheel time. A different driving style needed to the mega torque TTV8, but the supra is a very capable package. I don't understand why more aren't tracked? The chassis is great and with a sensible turbo they make plenty of grunt with good response. I only had 6 or so laps but it was obviously nicer to punt around than the GT8. Hmmm a TTUZ in a Supra

Thanks to Garth for making it happen as always

And had a chat to the track managers about running the Zulu and they didn't see any issues with it running at days like this

[foamy]

Awesome day! Despite the shitest track weather possible.
Can't believe how much of a difference R-comp tyres made. Now to find out why the fuck the adub was tramping :S

[xero]

because R-comp and worn bushes?

cheers garth, excellent day was excellent.

[RONA]

Here I was thinking you kents would have had an awesome day. Other then some wind it was a perfect day in Sydney, came over and looked like rain but It disappeared without a drop from the sky.
