Hi Mick, I got your entry and forwarded to Aggrodave tonight.

James, me too, it's a good event, but I guess the club exec can't keep running events if they don't get the entrants.

Anyone wondering about whether to try it or not....give it a go, you'll have a ball :D

hmm, unfortunately it is looking like I will have a saturday afternoon soccer game so I wont be able to make it, unless it gets changed to Sunday at the last minute. sucks cause I was looking forward to it :-(

Brendan here - I'm the mate with the Commodore sweefu spoke of earlier.

I am in for this, and will get the payment and entry form sorted sometime today.

Thank heaps for putting this event on! I've driven past this track twice everyday of the week for the last 4 years, great to be finally able to give it a crack!

Thanks Duncan,

I can't believe that there arent more ACT SAU'ers interested... Everyone down here knows how awesome that back track at Sutton Rd is and how rare it is to be able to get on and drive it! :(

Was thinking the exact same thing. I thought maybe they think it's the skidpan we have rented - but I've been pretty clear it's the track?!

What time is everyone leaving on friday to head down?

Also, do you exec fags want me to post up the event on Autocult>?

Go for it. You can do an event coverage type thing afterwards too if you want?!

I'll be there around 2pm at the motel

Wish I could join but I am to worried about my clutch at the moment.

I was wondering if you still needed people to stand on the corners I do that pretty well haha

Would be more then happy to chill out for the day and watch sweet cars rip it up.

The mg club have it booked for Sunday....

They used to do (still might, not sure) a quarterly event there on the skidpan, as far as I'm aware it was never the track though.

Yes we do actually! Thanks for that, come on the day :)

I'll probably be to busy driving to shoot/cover the day. Kory the skirt is busy playing soccer or some gay shit. I'll probably bring down my camera and take a few shots but doubt there'll be enough for a post. If there is I'll put something together :)

POST IS UP. LINK

A few questions after watching that video linked from page 1 for the 200th time:

  • does that bloke get air over the crest at one point in the first half of the course?
  • is the course going to be set up exactly like it is in the video?

I'm keen to know if we are going to see enough straight road to get into 4th gear at serious speeds.

Forecast for Saturday is looking good! -2 over night...shiver me timbers!

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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.
