A summer Targa?

The Wrest Point Targa

Saturday, January 31 to

TARGA – A NEW SUMMER ADVENTURE – Jan 31 to Feb 1, 2009

We understand (via a reliable source) that the promoters of Targa Tasmania plan to run a two day event based at the Wrest Point Hotel at the end of January in 2009. This would put the event a couple of weeks before Rally Tasmania. We understand that the course will involve some of the better stages taken from the old Day 3 of Targa in the Huon Valley and involve the use of a new stage some 32 km in length. What is most surprising is the reported entry fee is likely to be $1,800.00 or less. Watch this space, we will provide more detail as it becomes available.

I've heard whispers of it for some time now..... last I heard just awaiting the police ok which apparently was a formality :sleep:

I've already lined up somewhere to keep the car after this one until Targa :P (Assuming I'm not carrying it home in a suitcase.)

no news yet ben, but still progressing. all looking good. found me a gsr shell yet?

note to anyone - i need a registerable lancer cc gsr shell - pm me!

i'm in wa at australasian safari... tarmac rally regular tony quinn is running an ex-dakar swb pajero with mitsubishi gto (3ltr, v6, twin turbo) engine and was running sixth in his first attempt at off road until the engine shit itself. big night and day for the crew replacing it as not appear designed to be worked!

ps. wrest point targa.... what a good idea that would be. awkward sounding name though

yeah, its black and white now - vip on one side and frosty paws on the other.

lunched the replacment engine this morning so hes out now. according to nunny from lwr the cooling system just isn't very effecient so once thats sorted it should be half a thing.

they tapped the power well back when was running sixth too too so good form.

sorry steveo but not likely. about the only events that don't try for a level (ish) playing field by using the CAMS regs or similar are the lake mountain and mt buller sprints. and while they do pick up a few modified cars they loose a lot of people with cams regs cars. And the sad events last year suggest maybe some of the cars are too quick :)

  • 2 weeks later...

anyone here get the facebook message (if your a member of the targa group) about wrestpoint targa? (yep working real hard at work today :dry:)

SCOOP

Targa Wrest Point is GO GO GO!

Octagon Australia plan to announce a 2nd Targa style event tomorrow morning to be held on 31st January & 1st February 2009 running out of Wrest Point in Hobart and using famous stages including Oyster Cove, Longley, Grasstree Hill and Cygnet.

The course will feature two never before used Targa stages each over 25km in length, making them the longest stages in the country outside of Targa Tasmania.

The organisers have gone crazy winding back the clock with an entry fee of less than $2,000!!! Targa Tasmania Early Bird entries can enter for as little as $1,590!!!

Entries to be limited to just 130 places and with 190 already entered for Targa Tasmania that can grab the cheap entry price, it will fill very fast.

Stand by…. The actual announcement will be posted here later today…

good to see another octagon/aasa tarmac event.

Yup yup YUP!!!!!!

I'm just about to pull the trigger on entering........ Stu, if I enter now, can all the details be changed later?

Say, I enter my car as driver, then I decide to do it with Russ in the 35..... can we just swap all the details over? I wanna take advantage of the early bird entry for both.

And Stu... were you tryin to get a hold of me yesterday? Call me if ya need - 0438 830 641

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
