open practice at calder

[ylwgtr2]

me and a couple of mates are going to this weeks open practice at calder....i realise its a short track and may be crap...but hey its close and apart from the need for driving suits(which they hire for $30)the requirements are pretty basic...would be good to see any others join in

[inark]

i thought u only need long sleeves and pants?

btw i seen ur beast near the pickles auction place the other day... looking good

what day is it troy?

[SKY031]

inark "open practice" is different to the other sessions and requires a driving suit.

It's done on Wednesdays during the day 9am-4pm

however, $165 is out of my price range.... if I had that sort of money to burn, i'd be burning it on an advanced driving course.

its wednesday....pickles in airport west?was it out front of a panel shop?

[ylwgtr2]

and if by the end of the day if you havent fuxored your tyres for an extra $100......you can go drifting which starts at 5pm and finish them off

yeah

hard to miss with those carbon fibre tail light surrounds

i was thinking of trying to get the car to the drift prac on wednesday night... cant make the open session during the day because of work.

aargh...im off my medication again, i could have sworn i had a car, bloody dillusions are getting worse

[ylwgtr2]

yeah the guy that owns that shop is by far the most talented yet unrecognised guy i have ever met.......i have seen him make panels and lead load,unbeleivable tradesman and one of the nicest guys you are ever likely to meet...what was you doing down that neck of the woods nark?

[inark]

hmmmmmmmmmm... sounds good... wonder if he'll modify my front guards... vent them... make em nice and wide... should be pretty easy so if he can make his own panels im sure it will be easy as for him

i went down there to get a car towed from pickles... went past with Jack. Almost missed it thanks to Jacks decked out truck

[ylwgtr2]

dunno bout easy as.....i thought your a panel beater....you can do them your self yeah?

[inark]

i could probably.... but i dont have the time to do it.

[SKY031]

[inark]

omg they do moderate these forums!

definately wont be able to come tomorrow... sux.

[Duncan]

have fun Troy, I can't make it this time but let me know next time you head out

[Roy]

So ? Im keen to hear how the day went...good value etc etc. Any track day is fun...especially one with a few showers thrown in to keep you honest.

[ylwgtr2]

it was good....i am running low boost at the moment,i just needed a tiny bit more boost then i reckon i wouldve done the 360 modena on the straight (my highest speed was about 240)oh and i mightve had a chance in the corners too but i needed some neg camber
