Just received this email from a friend in the Porsche Car Club... Anyone think they are a chance of going?

Responsible enthusiasts now have the opportunity to enjoy the power of their cars in a safe controlled environment. Drivers need to hold a full licence and be over 18 years of age, cars must be registered and road worthy.

Interesting idea...

But 2.5hrs for $75 could be alittle steep depending on how many cars attend.

Night driving would be pretty exciting.

I'm 90% sure i'll be there with a mate from work, this is my first venture out onto a track... can't wait !

Hope to see some of you guys there.

cheers

sweet...more track days!

It wont be dark by 8pm although sun will be low.

Racing at night is one of the most amazing experiences - try hitting apexes exactly when you can only see the reach of your headlights

[IMFLYN]

Ill be there doing a drift demo with INITIAL DRIFT AUSTRALIA. Ill also be taking to the trak for some sideways fun.

[red900ss]

fyi, from Phil the organiser: "We expect up to 60 cars. 30 cars per 20 minute sessions.3 sessions per driver." No pre bookings.

[red900ss]

So who's going out? Should make it a club meet-up.

[benm]

Looks like "Eastern Creek" is going to be pretty busy on Wednesday night with both this Twi-Light open track and the WSID drags

[red900ss]

and the Initial Drift thing on the dry pan too. :uh-huh:

[fatz]

could be fun

shame i dont have and brakes until tommorow

how did the drift event go

[Lenno]

Twilight drive was farkin awesome !! , and the drifters put on a good show... just didnt have much time to see the drift and have a drive. It was a great chance to learn the limits of the skyline and maybe I learnt how to steer it a bit better. There was some mad cars that showed but only one other skyline, a gtr from targa tas.... now that was quick, hope to see some other skylines next time. I'll be there for sure !!

cheers

[Duncan]

who's car was the targa car? just jap? steve gets out there with us a bit

[Flaps]

I followed that Just Jap R33 GTR all the way along great western h/way till i turned off. It had number 53 i think of the side of it and a full roll cage, also a few Motul stickers.

That thing was a rocket, hardly even reving it, and it was just pulling away at each set of lights.

Looked tuff

[Lenno]

Yeah guys thats the car... very quick and looks the goods too.
