Sau Nsw Trackday - 21st June (saturday!)

[slaughter]

is everyone keen to meet somewhere in ACT and go from there down >?

[TiTAN]

This is starting to look good guys Thats 4 of us confirmed now, so i'll organise a meet up time and place for the day so we can all cruise up as a group. It'll be as follows:

Meeting Place: Shell servo at EPIC (Off Federal Hwy)

Time: 6.50am to 7am Arrival Time for a 7am Leave Time. (If we want Maccas at Goulburn then i suggest we leave earlier...).

Everyone should know where this is by now. I know its early, but if we arrive at the track by 8am it should give us plenty of time to claim a garage spot, prep the cars and get our licences sorted. Remember that a lot of other people will be there doing the exact same thing as us, so the earlier the better. I'm happy to give 1st timers some tips and a 'hotlap' if you want it, so if your unsure please ask as I'd rather help you out at the start rather than help you out of a wall!!! (I'm sure it won't happen )

Confirmed:

1. Frink

2. ZCR

3. DriftGTS

4. CeJay

This one might be for mick, asked in the other thread, but anyway, semi slicks or slicks, should they be balanced for the track? Had one mob say they thought you shouldn't do it, due to a possible issue of the wheels weights flying off on the track? True or BS?

[Frink]

if you've ever driven a car without a wheel balance or lost wheel weights you'll know the answer to that....

..... BS! NO tyre is perfectly round, so drive fast on an unbalanced wheel, the vibration will shake your arms off!

[CeJay]

Cool nanas, wont be getting it done there then, once liked this place, (wont name it) but definately won't be getting it done there. Thought it sounded a bit weird. Could see his argument but thought the wheel would be out of balance then.

[CeJay]

Sought of wondering when this thing is going to start, might be an idea to meetup at Shell around 6:15-6:20, grab something to eat at maccas and get to the track around 8 ish. If everything goes well will need to change all 4 of my rims at the track when I get there. Just don't want to be rushing around to get that stuff done.

I'd say checkout www.powerplayimports.com , bought 4 semi slicks from them for 125$ each. Don't plan on munching my Good year Eagles on a track day too, there too exy.

[Michele]

I will definitely be in on this, asuming that my car will be ready in time (still in bits)... I want to take Michele and Luke on and see who is "all show and no go"

Hang on... aren't you booked in for showpo oops I mean AutoSalon on that day?

[CeJay]

Looks like theres 3 spots left

[INVRTD]

what time does the stuff go to, anything going on afterwards?????? ill probs come along and watch,

[a20089]

I'm planning on being there either watching or as a late entry.

[TiTAN]

I will probably go up to watch.

[INVRTD]

im so up for trying to stoog as many laps in back of peoples cars as i can

[CeJay]

So just wondering what time are we meeting up? 6am or 6:15??? Want to get to Goulburn with plenty of time to spare.

[TiTAN]

Frink was suggesting a 7AM departure (so meet up 6:45 or so) from the Shell @ EPIC. It is only a 50-60 minute drive to Wakefield. Cars wont be going round the track until 9:00-9:30am.

[Frink]

6am is way too early. you'll get to the track and have nothing to do for an hour. if we leave at 7am, that'll should be heaps of time to get there and get organised....

[CeJay]

Meh fair enough, just with going to maccas etc, I don't want to be running round like an idiot getting ready at the track, considering the drivers briefing will be at 8:40am.

[Frink]

well if everyone is keen to go to maccas, then we may leave at 6.45am....
