[Go baby Go]

Don't forget the Club run to Sorrento is on the following day....

I'm heading down for a look and to take some pics......

[DABOSS]

whats the cost ( Even though I late in applying ) or viewing.

Also details as to what time ect ect. or where can I find details.

[tex]

Where's all the Phoons and Gt's? Why is there always more commoncars at speed events?

I'm geographically challenged (Tas based), so can't make it, can't help fly the blue flag. Id love to have a crack at the Island one day though.

It is a fast track yeh? What is the speed down the main straight before brake time?

Already full my friend.... they have about half a dozen on the wait list.

This one is being run by the WRX club, but we have 5 or 6 track days each year in conjunction with the HSV club- bit of red vs blue rivalry.

You can simply head down for a look. Sprints at the Island are generally $200 upwards, Sandown $170 and Winton $140 I think.

After this one is Winton in April (Anzac day weekend) and then Sandown on May 24th.

Cheers,

[DABOSS]

I'll have a go next time round , I'll have the car ready by then , among other things in between.

looks like a few of us are staying down the sat night to party up who is in?????? somehow i dont think we will make sundays run !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Black TE50]

I'm in!

It's been a while since I've seen grown men drinking copious amounts of silly red girlie drinks!

Where are we staying?

its been a while since ive done that too !!!! but thought it was better to have a night out after the event as the night before has all sorts of complications on driver ability : : : and im sick of wearing open faced Helmuts


Accom will let u know later on in the week

[Go baby Go]

Prob right at this time GRNKPR is downing said girlie drinks, whilst Black TE50 is drowning his sorrows.....
Black TE50 was doing some mighty fine times (faster than GRNKPR in fact), until it all went pear shaped very late in the day - a minor altercation with some tyres sees him needing a new front bar - still driveable we hear and he is fine which is the main thing.
Most of our guys were there for a practice run for the 6 hour - which I'm pleased to say we have 12 guys wanting to come play.... :

It was a cold windy day down there - glad I wasn't a flaggie or C/Course for a change - geez it's nice to sleep in and wander down at our leisure......

Bruce's bee-yoot-ee-full mustang


Alex keeping them at bay


Micheal thought no one was watching..... :evil3:



GRNKPR - you can see it started to "persist" down - which was my cue to exit...... he even had to work on his car - that's twice in one year we have seen him get his hands dirty in an engine bay..... :

[XRNIL8]

Never mind Michael .... I had my fingers crossed no-one got a shot of me spinning at Winton also ... but my wife did ... bugger her ! lmao.

Looks like it was a great day ... and Phil's car looks awesome ..... can't wait til Anzac Day ...... my hand is up for that one :

[Brute6]

Would have loved to come across and have a geeza, but but had a John Bowe day on at Sandown. Will be great to hear how everyone went, on Tuesday at the meeting.

[GRNKPR]

had a great day at the island few spins heaps of slides and a couple of teck probs but the clincher was the lack of grip ,Oh well come home in one peice thats the main thing with no Damage or major repairs to the car will let you know about the liver tues night!!!! all the boys loved Uncle Phils Bedtime stories @ 5am in the morning when he got home

[XRNIL8]

What are you saying Phil ........ is Uncle Phil @ 5am sort of like Uncle Arthur Hello kiddies ... it's Uncle Arther here ....... lmao

We wish!!!!!!!!!!! Uncle Phil at 5.00am (with a few on board) is like nothing you have ever seen or heard. On the subject of hearing, the noise starts from the time Unc exists (falls out?) of the cab in the street and gets progressively louder as he trys every outside door, eventually finds the one he asked you to leave open in the first place until, it arrives in your bedroom at full noise!

In fact, Uncle Phil at 5.00am is not unlike his racecar - very loud, quite unsettled, and in need of a little work under the bonnet.......

BTW, Black TE50's damage is limited to the front bumper (which should repairable) and some bent brackets. There is no panel damage. It could have been heaps worse. It was urinating down. Note to self - no chasing in the wet!!!!!!!!!!!
