excellent, how does one get involved with helping out? dont mind being involved in oganising one if it means getting on track sooner.

There's one in the works, Stu - an official SAU one. Once the details are locked in, they'll be posted up! Meant to be in mid-June, assuming all goes to plan.

Go down there (seeing as you're a bit closer than most of us), kick some asses and ask for more days to be made available to us on weekends, maybe? :(

I dunno honestly, but that will be our first obstacle. With OP gone, it's already hard to get track time, and will become increasingly so as time goes on, unfortunately. :blink: Duncan did get a date from them AFAIK, so it's just a matter of us sorting the details, and that will be happening soon.

Stu, to get involved you need to hand over your keys to anyone who has that little blue bar under their name with the word Executive in it. Once you've done that, it's simply a matter of a nudie run down George St, and you're in.

yeah things are obviously 50% harder now OP is gone.

SAU NSW has booked Wakefield back in November 09 for the only unbooked weekend date in 2010 - 18th June. We are also on the waiting list for any other weekend dates. As always we will run it as a driver training day to help our first time trackers get out there and give it a go :thumbsup: Eastern Creek is not realistic to hire at $10k ($300 for 33 cars) to break even on a week day.

For those who have already done a few track days I would recommend Circuit Club days, SSSC days or just open wakie days. And post up in here and get a few other people along :cool: Also Noel (Fineline), one of our favourite cockroaches is down at Wakie in April so head along then

Personally at this stage the june date is my target to have the race car back on the track running well

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
