I'll take my TT soarer, so I'll comfortably be the most boat-ish one out there on the track :P

and with only 150kw at the treads, a slow boat to boot >_< But the track's twisty enough for maybe that lack of oomph to really hurt me tooooo bad....

Cheers,

We will be most welcoming to the newbies.

There is likely to be 4 groups each based around your lap times so for eg:

Group 1 - newbies

Group 2 - 1:18 - 1:15

Group 3 - 1:14 - 1:12

Group 4 - 1:11 and faster

Bear in mind that there will be no official timing but I'm sure we can get some people on the wall with stop watches and there may be a portable lap timer or two around to borrow. This means you have to honestly estimate your time in order for us to group you.

yeah your right, u can go fast but if you dont know how to take the corners you wont do fast times. my first session i tried to punch tyo hard and was doing 1:20's, got some advice took 2 and half seconds off the next session.

Newbies- Get some pointers, it really pays off at wakie!

Just out of interest Adam, who owns the timing equipment that has been used at the previous official SAU days?

James, wakie is a handling kind of track, so if you got your suspension sorted you can do some good lap times, last time i was there i only had semi's on and no suspension work and did a 1.13 lap time, i would catch the GTR's around the corners but come the straight they started to pull away, only to catch them at the first corner again. But they didn't have semi slick tyres. If you can get some semi's mate it will knock off 2-4 seconds a lap! My car was basically stock too engine wise. But not now. Still only standard turbo though.

It's good to race different cars too, i'm sick of beating all the skylines and a CEFFY!!!

This I know, hence my comment regarding it being a twisty track so my lack of power may not hurt me as much as I initially thought. ;)

Haha no semislicks for me, With old KYB's and unknown springs in the car she won't even scratch the surface of the limit of some semis, so I'll just stick with the tyres I've got. I'll be going to have fun and get to know some of yas, I know the Soarer won't set a world-beating pace. I'll be firmly wedged in the newbie group. :laugh:

Aside from that, it's events like this that make me wish I still had my old Corolla. AE82 corolla with a 4AGZE in it, and considerable suspension work - now that's a car that with some falken semis or something on it would shock a few of you I think! But oh well :P

Cheers,

James

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.

      Our Southern Highlands Cruise is proudly registered with “R U OK?” Day.  Sometimes the best way to check in on your mates is by getting out for a drive together. Sharing a common passion like cars creates the perfect space to chat, connect, and support each other.  A simple “R U OK?” can make all the difference. Let's enjoy the drive, the company, and look out for one another. PLEASE WEAR YELLOW FOR “R U OK?” DAY Sunday 14th September 2025 9:30AM Meeting Crossroads Homemaker Centre 10:00AM Cruise Departure Via Old Hume Hwy 11:45AM Arrival at Mittagong RSL Club Meet Location: Crossroads Homemaker Centre Final Destination: Mittagong RSL Club *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost.

If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit.
