Alrighty - an opportunity too good to miss has come up so I'm going back to Wakefield for Australia Day in 2007.

Basically it's a limited field of 50 cars (5 x groups of 10 cars for 10min sessions) with an entry fee of $140. The day is being run by Autosports who all seem far too serious but still the cars entered already are FAST and are coming from Syd, Canberra and QLD, and include GTR's, RX7's, EVO's, STI's and Porsches.

Forget Autosalon Circuit Battle too - a lot of these cars are already running under 1.07's. This will be a real Circuit Battle.

Before we have 11ty Billion yes people like last time I will say that we will be doing another decent road trip in 2007.

This is more of a general track day thats just a long way away rather than a road trip.

I'd suggest this one more for the people that want to come and race rather than a social trip as my plan will be to drive up probably Thursday afternoon/night - Race on Friday - Get up early and go home on Saturday.

As I said - we'll have a propper road trip in 2007 again going to Syd with either EC again or Oran Park (since it will be gone in a year or so). Or even better both - so that will be the road trip to come on for the fun of it and shenanigans.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to say "Don't come". I'm just suggesting that there will be another trip later in the year if you are just coming for fun as that one will be better and this one will be pretty busy and not so much fun - unless you are racing.

yeah i had only learnt how to take action shots when we got to uas as i called up tharaka and asked him how to do action shots. i only realised the pics were in dark dark mode half way through the day at wakefield

You've got the same experience at it as me - so give it a shot!

But - and this is to EVERYONE - note your interest VERY soon as I'm told spots are filling, and we have no control over this one.

Send me a PM and I'll let the Autosports people know.

Both Matt's, are you in?

Will your car be ready Ash?

Not sure, depends if i get some "issues" sorted at the moment.

But if its not ready, i will be dead... so its me or the car by Jan 07.

I wont be racing though either way.

I'll just be coming to spectate as i had a great time @ wakefield last time and i havent got any leave over Dec/Jan so that can time into a holiday for me.

Might go onto canberra after that to visit cousins or somethin :P

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
