Timespan is going to let me know the dates - I will put the forms up here when I know.

I'm thinking about putting a challenge out to the Supra Club as well, that should be fun.

So start planning :)

$80

Certificate to place winners. Two cars on the track at a time at released intervals, lap finishes just before pit entry (they have taken out the straight). A very well organised event and professionally timed.

It will be a fun day.

This is where I understand the track will run...

Michelle!

Cheers for posting!!

wow - sounds like a great day but as Tim said, a few of us are at the Mountain that weekend for the supersprint/hillclimb!

How often does this event run?

Would be keen next year for sure!

Looks like fun - how many runs do you get?

I know a lot of the guy are headed to Bathhurst that day.

I don't know how many runs as we haven't done this one before... I'll find out and get back to you.

Cheers

Michele

I just seen this thread...

why was it cancelled, not enough interest?

Is it possible to post a link on the supraforums when a event like this(or any other) is available? (in the cruise section).

I dont come in here often enough, and just like today, i havent seen this thread until now, so it would of been late anyway... but otherwise i would of been keen.

Ohh nooo :rofl:

It seems there may be new rules with the new track owners... not making it viable to hold future events at Wakefield *sob* - I wonder where this leaves us holding SAU Track Days at Wakie in future? I was soooo looking forward to this event.

---------------------------------------

Folks

Following a brief discussion with Wakefield Park management today, I have to report that in view of the operating rules recently handed down by the new track owners, it is no longer viable for me to organize events there. Track hire charges are now prohibitive, the rules on event cancellation untenable & the apparent demise of karting events would appear to rule out any further 'standard' hillclimbs. Clearly, only 'big money' events will run at Wakefield Park in the future. Fortunately for the rest of us, Fairbairn Park (hillclimb) on Sutton Road in Canberra continues to be good value-for-money & as such, is worth the support of club motorsport folks. There are several other club level venues/events in our area equally worthy of your support.

I would like to thank you for participation in Timespan@Wakefield events over the past few years & wish you all a safe & pleasant Christmas & a great 2008.

Cheers......

Dave

SAU Canberra together with 5th Gear Motorsport were investigating holding a Supra vs Skyline Track Day @ Wakefield. I'm not sure where we stand now, but if it proceeds I will rally things up here and let everyone know.

*still sobbing*

that really sucks.

Michelle - I know we are looking at a day next year for a track day - I have also eailed them last few weeks and haven;t heard. Lets hope we can still book. We will keep you all updated.

But that really sucks :rofl:

new owners suck! :rofl:

  • 1 month later...

Make it a date 2 months down the track on one of the no speed limit days, and just pack the place full

Btw id be in FOR SURE if my motor is run in by then

Id love to race against supras

ACT is in the process of organising a Skyline vs Supra day which may extend to other clubs to make up the numbers.

clicky clicky for Skyline vs Supra thread

We are looking for approx 40 cars to break even on costs. We're looking for some interesting fun prize/trophy/certifcate ideas to make it interesting... see the ACT thread for more details.

I'll keep you posted once we know what is happening.

    • 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.
