My fiances old man is coming to Australia late Dec to early Jan for our wedding and I want to take him to a track day. He was a pro touring car and rally cross driver when he was younger so hes been asking me.

Anyone got any tips on what happens around this time? He is saying he would stay until the 10th/15th Jan, but might be able to twist his arm for the right track.

Winton's test & tune on the 6th Jan is the only thing I can find at the moment.

Obviously the ultimate would be PI, but doesn't look like much happens around then.

Cheers,

Paul

Yeah that one looks good. I believe he's getting in after xmas but will keep it in mind. Might do it myself regardless!

Have you looked in prior years of natsoft for recurring events whose date location may be suitable?

Yeah that dawned on me last night! Maserati club looks like the go for PI - assuming they hold it second Friday of Jan again it should be the 11th. Funny looking through the entry llist not a single Maserati there.

Hi Paul, so you got your new car built? silver yeah, think i saw it at racepace. been for shakedown yet?

Hi mate yep that's the one. Almost ready should be mid next week so no shakedown as yet. Was hoping to have it ready for DECA but was just too much still to get done.

Trying to find a suitable event to give it a run in the next few weeks.

    • 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.
