Barbagallo And Collie

[Snowman]

Howdy Sandgroupers,

I'm heading over to W.A. at the end of the month for a bit of a motorsport weekend getting a feel for the car and the tracks I'll be using for the Dutton Rally later in the year.

There is a practise day at Barbagallo on Sat June 30th and a CMG day at Collie on Sunday July 1st. Can't tell you much else as far as details but it would be great to see some real cars along at one or both of these days and to see what W.A. has to offer as far as fast Skylines go. From what I can tell the only fast cars over there are EVO's (which is what I'll be driving in) and that just isn't on so it would be super to be shown otherwise.

Cheers

Snowy

WAs Fastest Radial tyred Skyline is a DR30 with a basic RB25 lapping(long track) 62.5 with lots of improvements coming followed by a 2wd GTR with low 64s but these wont be at Dutton.Sofar we have not done to well with Skylines in WA in this type of event but the EVOs have been very strong.

What Dates are you here from and to??

[Snowman]

I fly in late Friday night and head back the Monday morning. I'll be back later in July for Dutton though.

Well if there aren't YET many fast skylines out there in W.A. but you would like to get into having some legal fun feel free to come along and have a chat. I'm more than happy to talk to anyone that is keen. You guys have some of the best fun stuff you can do over there. Whilst Collie and Barbagallo might not be in the same league as say Phillip Island or Eastern Creek they still look like a lot of fun. And other places like AHG where they hold the regular sprint series and some of the hill climbs you have are awesome and a well sorted GT-R should smoke everyone. I had a play at AHG at Christmas time and its a brilliant facility.

If you get into it you won't regret it - it's the best fun you can have out of bed.

I own an r32 GTR that is being built for track. Most of my time has been spent at ahg and on the 12th of june i get the chance to run the car at full noise before pulling it apart for new turbos and a few other upgrades. With the sessions at the end of june and in july, can any one attend? What are the car/driver requirements. Oh and hope you have a blast in WA.

Tops.

The days are both L2S CAMS days I believe so you'll need a basic CAMS license and the usual fire extinguisher, helmet, long sleeves etc.

This is what I'll be driving over there.

On the assumption it is a normal track day - yes. Maybe Snowie can confirm 100% whos auspices it is being run under.

http://www.wascc.com.au/ - look at the events Calander and it is just listed as a tuning day. Buggered if I know what's needed for one of those - Blaise has orgnaised it. I just have to rock up and drive

From memory there is a little more to it than that. I will have to dig out some stuff (or try to find it atleast) when I get home. Because it is a test/tune day there will be proper race cars there & they don't want just anyone on the track without some preliminary lecturing etc.
