Sau Track Day Oran Park November 22

[Nathan]

Thats the plan Richard, GP in the old girl.

[Beer Baron]

awesome. she has been begging for it for a while now!

Ooh, i have been wanting to do another NSW day, especially since my May return accross the border to EC ended up with me in the tyres

I aint keen on that drive by myself, but if we can get a Vic contingent together then im good to go

Oran Park is AWESOME...but what would be even better is one of the Open Speed Practice days they have at Wakefield...there are normally 2-3 a week so can get two track days in...i can help find beds/free accom for the Vic crowd if that helps ppl budgets for the trip

And Andrew, Bens car is scary/stooopid fast, but V8 Supercars lap in the 1:10s , but that in no way takes away from Bens roadcar on road tyres

As mentioned WP has 16 november as the closest date. They have a full week booking the week that includes the 22/11.

Sorry , i was meaning that the Vic folk shoudl come up for the Oran Park day, and eith eron the way up, or the way home do an Open day at Wakefield....if scheduling permits.

16hours drive thier and back, makes sense to me we match it with 16hours worth of track access at 2 x Sydney tracks

I wont be able to make a decision until the dates that i will be in Malaka are confirmed

Hey quickly,

Watched the V8's yesterday - am I right in saying there isn't much on the track that's over 3rd gear? Is it pretty much a grip track rather than a speed track (say like I'd expect Eastern Creek to be?)

[Beer Baron]

yeah pretty much. In fact I can do most of the thing in 3rd. I grab 4th before the flip flop (so i'm not shifting on it!!). sometimes need 2nd, but the GTR has enough torque (providing it's on boost) so if my corner speed is good i can do most of the track in 3rd. straight excluded obviously...

it's an awesome track. it's like one big roller coaster ride..haha always up and down, left and right. love it!!!

[Roy]

... rather than a speed track (say like I'd expect Eastern Creek to be?)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Interesting to hear what other ppl think, but is Eastern Creek really that quick??? Compared to places like Sandown, Calder and Phillip Island it is definitely slower.

It is quicker then Oran Park, but compared the Vic tracks, i think you will be surprised...its a pretty flowing track with plenty of 3rd gear opening into 4th gear blips before having to jump on the brakes and row back to 3rd.

You can watch some slo-mo vids of my car around there if you like

Actually thinking about it, from turn 6 onwards EC is pretty quick

[Majanal]

I'm in at this stage... when is payment needed... although probably mentioned in earlier posts... I admit that I havn't read all of them :\

[Abo Bob]

You've got well over a month mate.

[Snowman]

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control (aka my wife is having a baby in late October) - I won't know my availability for this event until really close to the date.

So I really can't commit to it as much as I'd like to.

[Abo Bob]

That doesn't sound like circumstances out of your control...

We have to pay a month before to get the discount.

[fatz]

ill bring the 31 out for this she need a run

[Abo Bob]

Excellent. Lets see if we can get a vid of 31, 32, 33, 34 all going around together.

Of course I'll have to take it easy so you can all keep up.
