jlnewton Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Ok, I have noticed a little bit of interest in track days of late so I just thought I would let everyone know that on the 1st of July I will be heading down to QR with a few other people for the Saturday Afternoon Sprints at QR. This is the perfect time of year for all those who are scared of hurting their cars, it won't get any cooler out at Ipswich. Its a great afternoon out, and you get to give you and your car a real workout without breaking the law. As long as your car is in good mechanical order you will have a ball, you don't need a track dedicated machine to enjoy the day. Hell my car would be flat out pushing 160rwkw! Hope to see some new faces out there! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/123186-saturday-arvo-sprints-qr/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Toy33 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 AFM has just arrived. So based on the fact that if the car is tuned before then, i'll come out for a few runs!

AzzurrA Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 well, my brakes are on (i've still gotta get them sorted though... rears are locking up with more than about 1/2 pedal pressure) and i've got the thurs/friday off before then as well, so i'll hopefully be able to do a service, including new diff and gearbox oil in other words, i am trying to make it out to this one!

jlnewton Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Woah, I just realised the schedule I have just given myself, QR track days on the 1st and 4th, and Skidpan/LVMA day on the 8th!!! Oh well, gotta make the most of the cooler weather. All info can be found here:- http://www.queenslandraceway.com.au/ You will need the usual wrist to ankle clothing, helmut (can be hired there), AASA licence (can get on the day, $55 annual fee) and a roadworthy car of course. The cost is $95 or if you prepay its $75. Hope to see you all there!

Dale FZ1 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 The Holden Sporting Car Club is also running a motorkhana in the carpark area starting 8am. I plan to enter that, then watch and learn how the sprint days go. A mate is running the sprints in a clubman car.

r33_racer Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 we should be out there with the 33 race car. Assuming we get the custom swaybar intime. It will be good to see more skylines out there, besides the usual 2 or 3, and million wrxs. Heres a crappy photo of our car...if you see us come have a chat. Dont ask about the stickers...my old man chose them. We need more skylines in the sprints and top gear racing...need to overpopulate everything Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/123186-saturday-arvo-sprints-qr/#findComment-2280451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzzurrA Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 rex's.... what rexes? oh, you mean that little tiny dot in our rear view mirrors? pulled half my interior out today in preparation.... also took about 5kg of useless wiring out.... can actually feel the difference just driving around Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/123186-saturday-arvo-sprints-qr/#findComment-2280468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r33_racer Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) I wish we could say that....but they seem to have this amazing ability to rattle off extremely good times....drives you insane. You do a 59 round the sprint circuit and then they come round and go yeh...had abit of a tough one but i managed a 56....then your jaw hits the ground....shit 3 seconds faster....well we got a suprise for them now hehe.
