It does look the goods. Some fast cars on that list

Ah Dirt you are a funny bugger So now you are telling us you are like a NASCAR team. A different car for a different purpose LOL

Hey Duncan, the S2000 is nearly the same weight as a GTR

Yeah Roy, did a 17.1 last year

Not sure Roy as we are changing a few things on it. I hope it can compete for outright open. Will just have to see who and what enters. I have even convinced Elias to put a cage in it

So who is running?? I have been entered to run 3 cars. Looking forward to the improvements on JP's Zed in PRO, Elias S2000 in OPEN and the AWD thing that I am running that has never seen a track in its life I may run my own 6.0 litre in clubman for a stir So that could make it 4 lol

I have a really nice enclosed custom built 4 wheel MRT trailer. Will get some pic's. I am wanting to downsize to a 4 wheel open trailer. Anybody keen??

Well I thought it was an awesome time to buy a new car. I got such a mega bargain Thanks Santa

I think you could do more damage at Garrys place than wakefield

I have done 2 days on the GP this week

Do you wet the bed on Race weekends Neil because of the excitement LOL

Great, that tells me alot. Do you work for http://adecco.com.au/index.htm and find jobs for people. If you do, you would know about this law then It was put into place a number of years ago now. Hopefully see you all at a skidpan or track for education sometime Anyhow, I still feel sorry for Gabs family that is going through this

Looks as though I will be coming

Please explain Aaron as you obviously know better

Two jumbo's sitting at the airport waiting to take off, and you have a choice which one you go with........... Fatz takes the one with the pilot that has no training because he will not take risks Would you trust the person to build your engine that has no training or the one that has. Shall I go on?? Oh dear, now you talk about companies..........please tell which ones as they will be the ones getting the fines in the mail. It is against OH&S to have anybody driving a company vehicle that has not had appropriate training or been assessed. Shall I list the companies that I travel around Australia for and teach......no the list would be way too long. I teach people in cars, trucks, mine vehicles and way too many more. Studies carried out by children do not count either I cannot believe you would even question people about training. So all of these people that have come out to do Advanced/Defensive Driver training are now taking much bigger risks on the road are they. I should survey this. Why would one of the biggest companies that I work for be supported by NRMA??

Lofty could probably answer all of those questions. It is not going to go that much faster around oran south. If it was doing high 47's on this day, I suppose the best that Lofty could hope for is mid 46's. Will be good to see it at the creek though. Engine........a toyota one as per IPRA rules. His GTR is in Time Attack/Sports Sedan mode now. Will be appearing at Superlap and selected Sports Sedans rounds I think. My GTR is still in the same shed with a for sale sign on it in IPRA spec. Lofty just wants to run it in the over 2 litre category as he won everything he could in it in under 2 litre. Hence the reason he has put a turbo on it. Even when it was NA it would do 47-48's around the south. Just need to figure out how to put the power down a little better lol

driver training sadly increases the risk a drive takes because they think they are better than they once were Fatz, how wrong are you. What a load of shit. Sorry dude, but that comment is obviously from someone who does not know a huge amount about statistics, accidents, causes etc. You are always going to have idiots on the road. I would rather have a skilled idiot rather than an unskilled idiot. Try and work out a statistic on how many accidents driver training has saved people from having..........you can't in this country. Look at the smart countries that have made advanced/defensive driver training a standard requirment and there is plenty of proof that they can show to everybody. Yeah sure the 18-25 year old represent only 12% of the driving population in this country and are involved in 30% of accidents. That is why it costs so much for insurance in this age bracket. But the age bracket for which most accidents occur are the 25-45 year olds!!!!!!!!!!

OK lads, it looks like I have AWD power for this event now

RIP GAB He was a genuine nice guy. He had been and done 3 or 4 track days in his little Datto. He was going to be taking it to the RTA the very next day to get rego'd. It had an SR20DET, Skyline Brakes etc etc. It is very sad to see this happen as he and a group of friends were doing track days and then this happens. There was no brake failure, he just had his enthusiasm ahead of his ability. I even told him he was going to crash on the track if he did not slow down. Why do people try to drive fast on the roads, when we have plenty of tracks around the country to use so that you can improve your driving skills. We are a product of what we are taught, and in this country we are not taught worlds best practice. When is this country going to make driving training a standard requirement. I am an RTA instructor, advanced driving instructor and a CAMS instructor. I look at how easy it is to pass the test for the roads and wonder why we don't have even more accidents. I think it is terrible that we are not even taught how to stop a bloody car properly, let alone try to impress someone by showing them how they can slide a car ( and do this on a skidpan please ). So if anybody is keen on learning and improving skills, do some advanced driver training in a safe place.

A great day had by all. Thankyou to those who turned up Lofty in the starlet was doing 47's. Not bad for a car that is only 1800cc, has a restictor on the turbo and had yokohama controlled semi's on all fours that were 3 years old. It was the cars very first run, so will be faster by the time it rolls out for its first race meeting in late January. For those of you that don't know it is built to Improved Production Car regs ( IPRA ) Mattman, your photo's are awesome as usual

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Got your PM's, but for some reason I have never been able to reply tp them Still spots left. Ring the office monday-friday 9.00am-5.00pm (02) 9829 5399 Cost is per person, not per car. Hope to see you next weekend

Marty will probably ask me anyway as I am involved in the day. The Radical should be allowed but not your car Michele, sorry. Your car Michele is an open wheeler and is not allowed on the circuit with sedan cars. The Radical has all 4 wheels inside the body work This is 90% certain but will confirm with the person who is putting there insurance up for the day.

Hey Mattman Of course you can come to take some pics. HAHA and yes I know who you are Did you want to come Neil? The Radical is welcome as it is really not an open wheeler ( no exposed wheels ) I instruct at the Radical days, so if you would like to come out and play you are most welcome to. Has it got a passenger seat so I can come for a ride ??

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Welcome to motorsport Hey Nathan, you say the GTR's struggled to put power down on the crap tyres.............what about everybody with 2WD

Hi Michele Sorry darl'n, but no. Your mirrors are not big enough to see the fast cars trying to pass you You can bring the GTR though :)
