- We are negotiating a tyre fitter as we speak, however this will not be just for your convenience. It is expected that you make the effort to get tyres fitted prior to the event and only use this service in the event you run out on the day. (Still looking for one).

- In the afternoons Tandem session, you do NOT have to run tandem if you don't feel comfortable. The director has the right to exclude person's from running tandem if he feels they aren't capable. You will still be able to have single runs in between tandem runs.

- A BBQ lunch and drinks will be available when we take a lunch break around 12:30

- 2 Trophy's will be presented on the day. These will be: Directors Choice and Scrutineers Choice (To be presented after track cleaning).

- Any driver(s) and or spectator(s) will/can be asked to leave the track if found not following instructions of the day or found to be endangering themselves and others.

This can and will result in the person being banned from the track and future events.

Any queries dont hesitate to contact me or Damo.

Not if you hit something :D:thumbsup:

ah thats where all the skill comes into it that all the track racers say drifters havent got. its a different story when you hit the hump at 120+ km/h and you are trying to unsettle the car.

its not the best fealing but it beats going in a straight line to the next corner. haha. na i dont mind either and i will more than likely be at the track day the day after this day having a fun day of driving.

be good if some of you guys atleast come out and had a look. it should be a big day as we are trying to put a lot into it and incorage people to get out there.

there will also be a BBQ at lunch time if you are scared of hunger.

seriously thoe wog boy if you came out for a few quick laps sideways you would be possibly the first person in tas to have drifted an r34. but im sure you dont care. oh and i could all most 100% garente that all the snappers would be lapping it up as they take favor to cars like yours.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
