AC1200

it does sound like an awesome weekend jam packed with motorsport maybe next year for me

it definately sounds interesting, although id does seem a little pricey aswell. is the night stage in shep a closed public road event? if so then the cost seems more justified. im heading up to wakefield park in april for the datto nats... so thats my april racing budget gone... but im definately keen to do the atc mt buller run one year, maybe when ive got a car that has a cage and harnesses at least

great day! some crazy quick cars out there.. the old ute has recovered from its case of smokey datsun syndrome and now im looking forward to calder!

im happy to cruise up with you... im out west so i'll pass through kfc/shell inbound on the westgate between 630-7am. but not till sunday morning

cmon lads spare a thought for me who's driving a farm hack with pram springs in the rear.. well theres my excuse for not being fastest on the day! if i had a cool car with all the gizmos itd be obvious that its my lack of talent holding me back

yeah im entered, cant wait. its a good little venue, great if your watching, even better if your racing!

motorsport any day of the week

i think haunted hills is a good one to start with. sure its a pretty technical track, but that only really comes into play when you want to go really fast around it. for beginners its good cos its not hard on your car, its not ultra fast (3rd gear max) and you dont have to worry about faster or slower traffic out there with you. theres no need to impress anyone with your times, no one will care how fast or slow your going (unless you beat them ) hh was my first track day, i began with around 71sec laps, and improved to a 64 on my first day. im now in the 61's and ill be out there on the 13th hoping my new rear swaybar makes me go faster and not slower prepare to be hooked on racing... i know i am

ill be there, looking forward to the years first event

yeah id be keen for a twilight event. i missed out this year as i had to go to a wedding. but hope to be at next years... day or night

calder event has been cancelled.

yeah that turn 3 is a weird one, never feels quite right through there... i nearly had a big off there in the wet earlier this year. was a day of mixed emotions for me, had some trouble early with a leaky hose on my oil cooler, but managed to sort that between runs was happy to get a new pb of 61.7, but still frustrated that my newly tightened lsd still does one leggers around most corners at hh. i think the ute just unloads the inside rears too much... might try a locker next time i tackle hh. could be interesting... only one way to find out i guess

im in, wonder if they'll run the fig 8 track as discussed last time?

im keen on this event (if im ready in time) but you gotta pay an extra $100 entry if you enter in the week leading up to the event thats a bit harsh

ive done quite a bit to the datto to prep it for winton, and its my first proper track day with it ive been hanging to get out there so i dont really wanna risk breaking it the day before, id rather break it there so ill have to join you guys next time

im out, doing a winton track day on the 4th.. its been a few years since i last ran the datto down the 1/4, so i would have been in for sure.. i reckon i might be able to drive it a little better (quicker) now days.. ah well have fun

hi guys.. not sure if im asking in the right place... but what does the "warn...... 0%" mean over there in my profile when i post??? <<<<<--------

looks like everyone had a ball... again i really gotta get my butt out to deca and see for myself!

well if thats what people are doing then its a good thing they enforce it.. i was thinking of the older bolt in alloy cages when i mentioned non approved cages... thinking that having one of those has gotta be better than nothing at all but blue's post has shown that theres good reason for the rule..

so does that mean cars with non cams approved roll cages will be knocked back? while cars without any roll cage will be allowed to enter? just curious, sounds a little twisted to me

absolutely spewing... i have a bucks night that saturday night and the late start means i wont be able to go... would have been there for sure otherwise, would love to have compared against my old times with my new suspension setup.. ah well... next time..

im not going to be able to make it out there this weekend... sorry i cant help out... ill be entering in the next one so ill help out then inbetween driving events

absolutely spewing i cant make this one.. ill be at a wedding, thinking of you guys screaming around the track maybe ill get the mrs to drive us home so i can drown my sorrows!

i missed out on entering this but i am planning to come down and see what its all about... if im able to come down you can put me down to help out for whatever... i will confirm that im coming along closer to the date

yes was an awesome day. my first time on the track, and first for the ute aswell. i need more experience, and the ute needs some suspension work. but i had an absolute ball out there thanks to everyone who kindly offered advice on the day and apologies for the rotor noise.. looking foreward to some more track time hopefully with a car that will behave through corners!
