So it sounds like a few of us (Steveo/Sam/me) might make it down to Winton for a track day on Friday. I'm up for a very early departure (5AM?) to beat traffic. Like to get there and chill for a bit.

Scotsman - it there a place to crash near Winton on Thursday night or should we book into the cabins a night early?

For those of you who are new - this F'N rocks. It don't get much funner. Of course we will have to start dominating the Mexicans...

Probably best to just head to Shep on the Thu night before Winton to save the extra organisation. It's about a 45min drive to Winton in the morning. You could stay in Benalla or even Wangeratta, but it would be easier to just extend the stay @ Shep.

Benalla is 10min drive to track. This is where SAUVIC usually stays if we do a Winton track day.

Wangeratta is 25min to Winton, but the benefit of Wangeratta is it's on the Hume Hwy and on the NSW side of Winton. So this could actually suit you guys if you wanted to arrange anothe rnight somewhere.

The good thing about the Friday's @ Winton is you don't need to be there for a Driver Briefing. You can just show up when you want. Pay your $100 and go nuts. They have like 20 sessions for car, 20min bikes, 20 race cars then they rotate.

Hmm.. now thinking about it.. I might come down for the extra day..

Hey, you're going to drive there anyway and you might as well have 2 days of fun between those long drives as one. The only negative about the trip last time was spending two day on the road for only one day there. Be great if we can get several of us down early.

Steve-O, when you start doing the cabin thing can we make arrangements for one on Thrusday night then?

I would but my annual leave is kinda used up :O

And I dont think my car would be able to cop the abuse!

5 star hotels this time? :(

weak sauce!!! sif go in a hotel :mrt:

I promise you wont be on the couch this time :) *looks at steveo*

we met in a carpark 2mins from the intersection with king georges road (which you would come down to get there) and the M5 in beverly hills.

i assume its going to be the same place again??? will we fit there???

Yep same place, yep we will fit :) (its only for 30 mins anyway, there was that whole side street aswel)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
