Hey guys,

I'm having some what of an open house at mine tomorrow..

Rock up anytime, share stories and a few quiet drinks.

Any time after 9.30am is good by me.

I do not have my mobile, so home phone only if you need.

Getting in contact with one of the guys I am close with will work.

i.e cass, jay, doof, ben, deitz, aron, chrissy etc...

I'm still not sure what to say, ive been to this thread a few times and not posted the reply I wrote.

I feel like words cannot express the way this has and will affect people. I guess all I can say is that from the brief chats I've had with these young men I can very honestly say they were genuinely sincere and passionate young men, and we could not ask for nicer people to hang out with and represent the club. I hope that Alex and the families do not deal with this entirely alone, and know that a lot of people are here when you are ready to talk.

Rest In Peace, always in our thoughts.

Thank you everyone for posting your messages of support here.

I have met some of you before with Tom, and you have painted a beautiful memory of the man who i gave my love to.

We were partners, lovers, best friends, and co drivers. Tom will be forever remembered.

Gerard had become a close friend over a short period of time, and i will never forget the quality of man that he was.

I know they're both up there at the big race track in the sky - covered in grease working on their cars and racing them on the track as they always loved.

Thankyou again everyone for your support - it is wonderful to see how loved these two men were and are.

just joined the fbook group about the upcoming trackday, didnt know them personally but the loss of anyone in the community in such tragic circumstances is a blow felt by all members.

Obviously i cant compare my concern with the pain felt by their loved ones and those who knew them well but it at least makes us all pause and reflect on the sadness of the event and how close we all are to those shiny pearly garage doors sometimes. I for one will be taking the next pac/nasho run at a more sedate pace and not taking the joy i get out of the sport for granted.

RIP boys..

    • 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.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
