Wakefield Park Track Day - Friday 9th of November!!

[-GT-]

Ok, so thursday night people - xero and dneg are looking to go a bit earlier, steve said not to wait because he's towing and will probably be later anyway, and matt's meeting me... is that everyone?

Xero/dneg, let me know how you're travelling as matt and i might catch up to you at suttons forest maccas or somewhere? I'll eat before i leave but will need a fuel stop at either that shell or the Marulan BP; we usually stop at suttons forest because people want to eat.

I'll talk to her tonight and see if she's free. Will need to check with the family too as a cousin of mine just arrived from Italy today so we might be doing something for him also. Will let you know tonight either way

mad dash to change oil, plugs and rewire the radio so I dont kill myself on the drive down lol

+ beer

[whatthe?]

New tyres and exhaust on, oil and filter changed. Bring it on!

[trdee]

Dammit. Won't be able to get down there in any reasonable timeframe so not worth it. Trackday withdrawals

[whatthe?]

Whats that Garth? You'll be 20 minutes late to the brooks rd meetup you say? This all seems very familiar...

[Schmitt]

Sorry wrong post

How was the day lads? Did it stay dry?

[dnegative]

Weather was perfect, had a small 15min shower at 8:30 but from then onwards it was sunny and dry as a bone.
I ended up running out of fuel by 2:30 and subsequently, turns out I had less money than I thought.

Didn't stay the Friday night either, had to pickup a seat from Canberra and by the time I got back to Goulburn it was pretty late so I just kept going. Got home at 11 and I was fucked...... probably should of stayed in hindsight, hate driving tired.

How did you make it to 2.30, I always fill up around lunch time. Then for the trip home too.

NA power + taking it easy due to arse tyres and oil leak

Bigger plans for next time though

[xero]

Good day, a number of things I learned this time:

1. AE86 has genuine pace as shown by Garth, i just need more practice
2. Need new tyres
3. Even though my pads and fluid need replacing badly car still stops very well
4. ALIGNMENT!!
5. Need to play with suspension settings
6. 595rsr's are overrated in my opinion

And lastly: coke smockers.

[whatthe?]

You forgot incorrectly sized exhaust gaskets

[xero]

Yes, that too. But not actually having a size measurement on the packet made it that much harder...


Also what time did you guys go to bed? I know the other guys were still awake at 3am, and also gone when I left at 730

[whatthe?]

About 3.30. We stayed up with the drift-bros who were trying to educate us on Toyota engines (I especially liked the claims of VVTi 1Js not being able to make any power)
