[djr81]

I wouldn't worry about it fellas. There isn't exactly alot of overlap.

[jonn]

I'm entered for this one. First time doing something competitive, looking forward to it.

[bjohnson]

I'm going to miss out on this Saturday (might come up for a quick look) but hoping to be down in collie on the 28th for the sprint..

[djr81]

I'm entered for this one. First time doing something competitive, looking forward to it.
Will be good to see another GTAAAH along. Come and say hello - I'll be the bloke in the white R32 crying about his lap times.

[dattoman]

Might go up for a look after Big Als

[manna_85]

will be there to watch. the event is directly after the wascc tuning day.

[djr81]

So far there are about sixty entries posted on the entry list with the closing date being the 10th. Usually they get about ninety odd cars.

[RK 86 WA]

Currently only 2 entrants in 5a :D

Gives me a chance to get on top of points for the 2010 season ehehe

Entry list is updated. Now runs to 78 entries - closes tonight.

There are also more 5A entries (Road registered udner 2 litres from memory)

There is also an entry for a Radical SR3 RS which should be interesting.

[RK 86 WA]

Yeah just saw that earlier.

Keen to see the radical aswell however I don't see anyone coming close to Peter as per usual.

Quite suprised not to see the likes of Kim, Franz, Dick, Mike Joss, the Flood boys etc entered as yet. Might be a bucket of last minute entries.

[FranZ]

Mike Joss is entered. I don't think Kim has a car to run? *shrug*

Tony Flood is only doing some rounds because he is doing the Australian Safari I believe, not sure about Peter.

I'm not running as Im running tomorrow night at the Rallysprint at the Motorplex.

Too much emo Franz, not enough Evo. :)

If you won't be needing it can I borrow that spare three one hundredths of a second please?

[RK 86 WA]

Super fast reply by Franz hahahaha.

I thought Kim had the TMR 9?

I might come watch the tomorrow night cause I work literally down the road.

Will this be you and Danny?

Djr18, is yours the white r32 with the gold LM's?

[bjohnson]

Looks like that Radical has the bigger 1500cc (260bhp) motor.

Should be good to watch!

[FranZ]

I was under the impression that Kim had sold the TMR 9. *shrug*

Me and Danny? I doubt Danny is entering in his MX5, his Evo is still over east.

[RK 86 WA]

Hmm fair enough.

Btw Ben are you looking at just the 28th? Or the 27th aswell?

[djr81]

Djr18, is yours the white r32 with the gold LM's?
No that is a different one. I can't afford gold plated German bling.

83 entries are in for the event.

[djr81]

There are some nice photos on the speedwest website if anyone is interested.

[RK 86 WA]

If yours is the r32 with the silver ce28n's firstly nice car :P and secondly there are some amazing photos of you braking during the twilight runs where your rotors look like they are on fire haha.

[bjohnson]

Entries close for Collie (rounds 2 & 3) today.
I just sent in my forms for the circuit sprint on Sunday.

Anyone else heading down?

[Darkside]

Entry in for Sat and Sunday.

[djr81]

Yeah I will be going. Going to be stinking hot though.

Anyone for the hill climb?

[Darkside]

^^^ Am hearing you. Just checked the forecast. Perth is looking at 37 and 38 degrees respectively. I guess a couple of degrees cooler in Collie but still farkin hot.

Am going to have a crack at both "the hillclimb" on the sat and the sprints on Sunday. May as well make the trip down worthwhile.

[DISTRBD]

Im driving Bunky 32 :boink:

[bjohnson]

Anyone know what the quickest way down there is?

Trying to decide if it would be quicker to head down Fwy/Forrest Hwy to Coalfields road or down Fwy/Southwest Hwy..

[FranZ]

Definitely take the Fwy/Forrest Hwy now. Turn left on Treendale Rd (becomes Raymond Rd) left then right onto Coalfields Rd.

By far the easiest and safest way down!

[bjohnson]

Cheers Franz!

[Darkside]

^^^WHS. New freeway down to just before Bunno. Left turn into Treendale/Raymond Rd. (To Roelands) Then its a quick left then right at the south west hwy to get onto coalfields rd to Collie.

I used to be a fan of the Hopelands Road et al special stage but this way is far less stress.

[RK 86 WA]

Going down Friday night and doing both the Hillclimb/Circuit.

Where is everyone staying for accom?

Looking forward to yet another white knuckled entry into the left hander, after the long straight on the hill climb!

Also watch out for the hottie at the Caltex :P

[djr81]

You can actually stay at the circuit. Not sure who to organise it with, however.

[RK 86 WA]

You organise it with MSW and its free to use. But that would really be a last resort type of accomo.

We are staying at the Collie Motel as its a bit bigger and cheaper than Collie Ridge.

[Godzilla]

Ill be there one way or the other... still need to sort out a place to stay sat night.

PS, the white 32 with gold bbs is mine (they are the track rims) but not racing for a few more months me thinks

[DISTRBD]

Collie Ridge Hotel not bad rooms but foods SHIT ...

[Darkside]

^^^ Hearing ya. Food is woeful. The pub in town is much better. Premier Hotel??

Am staying at Collie Ridge but definately wont be eating there. :)

[RK 86 WA]

Godzilla: Nice car!

Distbd: Hear you x 2 there.

Darkside: Prem Hotel? Is that the main bar in town? Went to the chinese place across the tracks last year and I swear I contracted swine flu from the overpriced meal so will be looking for some decent sources of food hopefully this time round.

[Darkside]

Yeah its the pub on the corner in the main part of town across the rail line. They serve some well priced decent pub grub in a restaurant out the back from the corner bar.

[Denver]

the chinese shop on the main drag through town does decent food, highly recomend it, is next to one of the pubs just over from the caltex servo...

[RK 86 WA]

Thanks Denver, will give it a whirl on one of the nights we are there I guess.

Reminding myself to pack some boardies to hit up the pool after Saturdays H/C

30+ degrees standing around on track all day FTL!!

[Godzilla]

Looks like ill be there just for the sundays sprint.

Photos of round one (and all subsequent rounds I attend) can be found here btw:

http://nextgenphotography.zenfolio.com/

[Denver]

theres a huge lake behind the motorcross club on the way to the track if you wanna cool off without having to deal with locals at the pool

[Darkside]

^^^ Cheers for the tip Denver. Is looking like the forecast for the weekend is cooling a little, but definately still swimming weather....

[RK 86 WA]

Are you talking about that Moonlake Pool or what ever it is?

Either that or there is Wellington Dam a little out of Collie which is pretty amazing.

But whole heartdly agree that swimming is high up on the agenda!

[DISTRBD]

Stockton Dam behind motorcross track .. Box is back for the GTR so game on :boink:

[DISTRBD]

Few drops of rain at workshop and lightning .

[DISTRBD]

Fuk yes Big Will busted out a 1.02 run on last pass of the day top speed 260odd :eek3:

Surprised my self with 1.04 which put me in 3rd outright untill last round where i was bumped back to 6th .. Have some great incar footage to go up

[DanWA]

Were you out the plex today Bart? i thought today was hillclimb only and sprints tomorrow?

Will drop out there for a bit tomorrow

[FranZ]

So Will won the hillclimb then?

260 is moving!

[william]

hi franz

yes won the hillclimb and set a new fastest time for it with a 102.02

hit just under 260 at the end of the straight was off its head

i have got it on film look god will post it up over the weekend

[DISTRBD]

Were you out the plex today Bart? i thought today was hillclimb only and sprints tomorrow?

Will drop out there for a bit tomorrow

Yea Will let me drive the 32 in hillclimb today . No sprints for us tomorrow



hi franz

i have got it on film look god will post it up over the weekend

Thanks for the drive Big Will ,was welll worth the late night mission friday to get it ready :)

[FranZ]

Awesome, top work Will!

Good work Bart! She would have been light over all those bumps!

[DISTRBD]

After doing it last year in my 31 i thought the 32 be wild ride along there but it was great , handled very well with HSDs

[DanWA]

Was pretty shit today import wise, left at the lunch break... old dude with 32 gtr [R32 VSPEC] was utterly useless... vn v6 was eating it.

[DISTRBD]

Shut the fuk up and get out there and show us how easy it is :slap:

[DanWA]

i was only referring to the imports there today, wasnt there yesterday mate.

you see the mx5 with the rotor? that was crazy fast

white 33 gtr [GTR 33V] was utter fail
grey 32 gtr [R32 VSPEC] was fail
Dark blue 32gtr was pretty decent but got eaten by a NA ford escort
White WRX sedan couldnt stay on the track even at low speed

I should gave gone yesterday, seams all the good drivers were out there.

[ED40]

At least they are out there man.. says more then 90% of the posers on the road.

DISTRBD, looking forward to seeing those incar vids.

[DanWA]

+1 for incar vids, 260 is crazy for that straight...

Agreed ED40!

Same guys that ran yesterday running today . Bring yours out next time

[DanWA]

I dont have a car for sprints, its temping though, the RB would do so well in a car better suited to sprints... got any 31's lying around?

[DISTRBD]

I dont have a car for sprints

LOL keyboard racer

[DanWA]

or spectator?

[RK 86 WA]

holy sh*T what a weekend,

Friday half way down the freeway blew my wheel bearing so drove back and borrowed a friends stock mk 5 gti (golf) which was decent to drive, although needs a lsd desperately.

Congrats to Will and Blaise, for 1st and 3rd respectively outright IIRC at the hill climb.

Overall a good weekend (won 5a at the circuit but since I was in the golf, was shunted to 5b and came second to the 180 sx dude).

Highlights:

- Collie finally has a consistant source of food.. Mcdonalds (I swear everywhere I have eaten in Collie has been rubbish)

- No damage from double demerits.


Lowlights:

-No one red flagging the idiot in the old beamer whos car failed on him on the back straight. The same idiot leaving his car in the middle of the track, me coming around the corner not knowing he was there, seeing him jump out of the car, onto the track 20m ahead of me and luckily enough not getting run over.

- Prime Wok (THE WORST FUCKING PHAD THAI EVER)

[DanWA]

haha yeah prime wok is fail, try "the vic" and "the premier" for counter lunches other then maccas... subway is pretty decent to, its reopened if you didnt all know.

congrats on the win!

[RK 86 WA]

Heh will take note about the vic and the premier. Sausage and egg mcmuffins for breakfast started getting a bit nasty haha.

Thanks :) Heh.

Also new Track record set by the Morley's which I forgot to mention, 46.xxx in their OMS.

Anyone got a spare 25k? Its for sale heh.

[djr81]

In spite of what was said Pete has gone quicker. He did a 46.3494 last year compared to a 46.7569 Sunday. That said given how much of a mess the Bogan nats left the track in & the car issues he has it was a damn fine effort.

Also please don't have a go at the flaggies. The main problem is there are too few of them.

[djr81]

Well said. It is easy to talk a quick lap, less easy to get out there & do one.

Funny any time a drifter hits dirt MSW/CMG shit bricks and have them sweep before letting them play again . Drove track saturday and could not believe the shit that was on it , shredded tyres, dirt , rocks :(

How much does the seat move!! Good work Will!

[DISTRBD]

My 2nd run , not as good as Wills but was my first time driving it .. hope Xibitor approves of this ..

LOL yea seat does move a little

Also please don't have a go at the flaggies. The main problem is there are too few of them.


Agreed about the track state, there were chunks of rubber all over the place,

As to the comment with the flaggies, I am very much appreciative of their efforts as without them, events like this would be hard to maintain.

Not to mention that they volunteer which makes myself doubly greatful.

However I was still frustrated that someone had to leave their car on the track for all 3 flying laps in a dangerous position.

Anyway hope you get your 32 sorted in time for Busso.

[Darkside]

Was a tops weekend. Great mix of cars which always makes interesting spectating. The hill climb course is a little one dimensional, but I cant think of anything else in WA where you are likely to hit those kinds of speeds. Being just about tapped out in top gear then braking over bumps into a tight left hander is always going to get some adrenaline pumping. :) Was good to meet some people down there. Sorry to hear about the car Richard. Glad you got it home with some help. And as said on the weekend, nice driving Will and Bart. Thats quite an animal to tame. Car is in to get a full weld in FIA cage in this week. Hopefully have it all sorted for Busso, and hope I never need to put it to the test. :)

[RK 86 WA]

^ Just out of curiosity what sort of power is your tme pushing? It was walking away from my friends evo 9 on the weekend!

[Darkside]

Dont like to place too much emphasis on dyno numbers but it made 380hp at the hubs at all star so not sure what it would be at the wheels. What power does Irwins make? (Am assuming this is your friend?) No plans for any more development in this area. Havent focussed too much on power, just kept it simple. (Standard internal motor, 9RS turbo, standard manifolds, aftermarket intake pipe and IC piping with standard airbox). Trying to work on good grip and handling (a bit of sorting out to do in that department as its a bit loose) and trying to keep it light. Going to go backwards there with a cage and all the glass going back in. Am expecting to be slower next time out. Will be back to square one on handling with the cage in, but I guess thats part of the fun.

[RK 86 WA]

Thats suprising news to say the least!

Power wise I think its roughly the same, (don't want to make exact figure assumptions on another persons car).

Regardless, very impressed with your times/driving on the circuit and I bet you gave the open wheelers a bit of a scare haha.

[Darkside]

Cheers for that. Has been a work in progress and is my 3rd car build (although my first dedicated track car) so am learning a little along the way. Am trying to do it on as much of a budget as possible and get best bang for buck out of a pretty simple package. Am hoping to have the next phase (cage) complete in time for Busso and from there it should just be fine tuning rather than any quantum changes. Hoping to do as much of the SES as possible as it seems to be a fun series with a good bunch of people in it and nice variety of cars and events. Will come and say hi if you are at Busso.

[RK 86 WA]

Haha Irwin was "forced" to register for the series on the weekend, Sena is hell bent on keeping another Honda at bay for 1B points and I'm going to take advantage of 5a points whilst the Escort boys are still away so will definately be there at Busso.

Looking forward to another awesome day out and will come say hi.

I see a few guys using them , we tried ours for first time with good results

[ED40]

aweosme photos! especially the ones with cars airborne! ahah

[bjohnson]

Some awesome photos there Serge!

Really glad I decided to make the trip down.
It's a great event and a great track!
Good times were had chasing the golf:)


how did the goPro vids look, Ben?

LOL,
I might need to bust out some Tsung Lee style aero and weight savings if I want one at Busselton!!

I'll chuck the video's up on youtube when I get a spare 5 minutes at work.
My windscreen got fairly dirty on the drive down so all of my videos have to be watched through the bug splatter..
The GTI one is cool, except the part where I ran wide and got passed (right after the camera mysteriously stopped recording :))

[RK 86 WA]

Hahahaha :) looking forward to seeing the certain gti driver waving as he passed on the straight. Gti needs lsd, brakes, any sort of suspension + chip... DO YOU HEAR ME SEN?! :P

Ill be there with my car (hopefully) to Busselton so maybe it might be more of a better competition!

[Godzilla]

Collie is a good track isnt it. raced it last year and loved it, shame the car is to buggered right now to race.

Ill be at busselton to taking photos, looking forward to that

Haha, already changed those (and most other things)

[RK 86 WA]

Haha Serge, he was saying that to me with regards to my wheel bearings whick died on the way to Collie.

Its ok, I'll just take the Golf again... And win again... Unlike someone who got beaten by just a 1.6L :P ahhaa

*pleaseo lend me the golf again if my car dies lol*

[RK 86 WA]

Busselton soon :) just sent in forms, who else is going?

[FranZ]

I've entered and got confirmation I'm in!

[RK 86 WA]

Nice :)

[Denver]

Entry confirmed today.

[lukits01]

Just got my confirmation
wooo, bring it!

[Godzilla]

Will be there taking photos, raced it last year, was good fun if not a little tight for a gtr

[FranZ]

Tight for a GTR?

[RK 86 WA]

Concrete barricade hairpin is scary as Fk!!!

To pull or not to pull the handbrake haha.

[Godzilla]

prety short track and concrete bariers surround it. GTR's are geared way to tall for it, evo's and WRX's do much better.
As for the hairpin I went with power over in first gear :)

[RK 86 WA]

^ haha I tried the handbrake fist run and went straight over the damn kerb in the middle :(

[Godzilla]

On another note... is there anyone whose driving back sat night that can give me a lift back to perth? lol

[RK 86 WA]

You can come back with me on Sunday if you can find a place to sleep for the night lol.

[Godzilla]

That could work, cheers. Ill PM you a bit closer to the date to confirm if I need a lift or not, got one there already :)

[RK 86 WA]

No worries buddy.

[RK 86 WA]

Bring on Saturday :)

[djr81]

There are actually some SES cars running tonight. About a dozen. I think it is approx 6.30 or maybe 7.00? Someone may know when.

And remember kids - it doesn't matter how attactive the sheila's are at the defence force exhibit. You won't see anything like that once the army sends you to Afghanistan....

[RK 86 WA]

Oh my, I remember those women at the defence force stand ;) thanks for reminding me haha.

The practise times are on the main SES website. Should be an intense field in the 4wd class!

6.30 I think it is as their drivers briefing is 6pm.

Will try and make it if we get down there in time.

[jEstEr?]

Stolen from speedwest


Yes the concrete claimed a few cars on saturday
Tom Mullens Mk1 escort
Noel Desuza E30 M3 Evo Bmw
Jason Dorrington FD Rx7
Indika in the orange Wrx
Olef in his MK2 Sr20 powered escort
Ray Farrari Yellow West89 but he done more damage driving on and off the track as the front clip was catching the kerbs and pot holes in the grass and I think that there is one more but I cannot remember

Steve Jones won the day with a superfast time of 1m23.3 in his evo9rs
Peter Morley 2nd with a time of 1m25.8
Blaise Paris 3rd with a time 1m25.9

[RK 86 WA]

what a crazy weekend, so many cars hurt, and everyone effected are the nicest of people :(

went 8/10s most of the way around the sprint as I have no intentions of hurting my dd. over the two years ive been there id say cars claimed by the concrete number in the double digits for sure now.

well bring on jacks hill!

congrats to steve for killing it in his 9

[jEstEr?]

Which car were you in?
I was in the white impreza with the black bonnet and RIP Colin McRae stickers

[RK 86 WA]

lols was that you?

We were the three civics, s2000 and the white evo.

I think i met you at scruti last tuesday.

mines the silver one

[jEstEr?]

ah yeah that sounds familiar. that red eg? civic was awesome, chirping third on rcomps

[RK 86 WA]

How did you go yourself?

Man that s2 exige on re30s looks and sounds porn!

[jEstEr?]

OK I guess, bit dissapointed how far off the pace I was, but still happy enough to be out there and racing. Best time was a 1:36:20 from memory. Still really need to learn the car and learn to drive. Watching the in car video i can see just how bad my lines are, intentionally cutting short corners and staying as far away from the barriers as I could, plus short shifting, not used to new gearbox/turbo combination. More seat time, I'll be out there next year doing a 1 minute flat

http://vimeo.com/11022731

[RK 86 WA]

haha well best of luck on the 1 min flat.

By the way which Cams Affiliated clubs is everybody with? WASCC? WACC? NLCC?

I am going to drop NLCC if they do not give me a 2010 membership card within the next few days.

We all got stung with a 25$ day fee to WACC cause NL STILL HASNT GOT THEIR SHIT TOGETHER AFTER 4 MONTHS AND PRINTED OFF A FUCKING BUSINESS CARD WITH 2010 INSTEAD OF 2009!!!!!!!!!

Have had too many problems with their inconsistancy with membership + dealing with my Cams licence which is only getting sorted through cams now, and not back in October 2008 when I joined and paid.

-end rant-

Ah well bring on Jacks Hill ftw.

[FranZ]

AFARCC - www.allfours.org.au. $40/financial year. Member card, no CAMS hassles!

[RK 86 WA]

Thanks Franz will have a look during the day.

Btw congrats on how well you did on the weekend aswell!

I wouldn't be too disappointed if you are starting out. The quick cars are both good drivers and they have good cars. Some are very, very good in both respects.

It takes quite a while to get to the point of being competitive.

If yours if the white early model WRX then it looked good hiking inside rears into the hairpin.

[JME]

Mat(t), you're out there giving it a crack, much more an effort than us keyboard braggers, top marks for coming away unscathed.

Awesome effort from blaise in the top 3 with his diy EVO6TM.

here are some photos I took, if the linky thing works.

Cheers Ryan, I can't be disappointed. Everything in front of me was full on winged race car or essentially a "time attack" car!

By the way which Cams Affiliated clubs is everybody with? WASCC? WACC? NLCC?

I'm with the Impreza WRX Owners Club of WA (IWRXOC) because they run quite a few events including the Wheels World Evo vs WRX series and you get a subsidised (sp?) entry fee. Previously I was with AFARCC as Franz mentioned.

DJR81 - this is me

yeh, it was hardly a level playing field
strange how they don't split the 4WD class into street and open like all the other classes.

[tinto]

OK I guess, bit dissapointed how far off the pace I was, but still happy enough to be out there and racing. Best time was a 1:36:20 from memory. Still really need to learn the car and learn to drive. Watching the in car video i can see just how bad my lines are, intentionally cutting short corners and staying as far away from the barriers as I could, plus short shifting, not used to new gearbox/turbo combination. More seat time, I'll be out there next year doing a 1 minute flat

Great clip! the clarity and feeling of speed is a rare thing in a DIY car video.
Is that a GoProHD or something else?
Who flocked your dash for you?

I didn't notice any of the bad lines you mentioned, but that is probably saying more about my line selection (on any course) than anything else :)

Dash was flocked by "H-Tek Ultimate Flock Coating Kelmscott" in kelmscott.

So who is in for Jacks Hill? Franz think you can take out 4wd considering how well you did in the summer series?

[bjohnson]

I'll head out for the next one.
I've never run at Jacks Hill before so I'm keen!

[FranZ]

I doubt it.... not if the big boys come to play; I don't have enough straight line speed!

If its raining though.... :D

[RK 86 WA]

If its raining... haha hope not ;(

Ben, I thought you were coming down to busso :)

Ah well see you guys in a months time.

[jEstEr?]

[bjohnson]

If its raining... haha hope not ;(

Ben, I thought you were coming down to busso :)

Ah well see you guys in a months time.

I decided against it.
The massive drive and the concrete bollards made me change my mind.
Plus, I wanted to run at the sprints on Sunday.

[RK 86 WA]

ah fun ish times yesterday blowing a damn motor mount :(

Great pics by the way. That birkin is just about jumping out of the screen. :)

I thought I'd get a nibble. Although A reg... I consider your car to be time attack given the bigger rubber, bigger brakes, the lack of interior and the big power/weight advantage you have!

[Darkside]

He he . :) I prefer Tarmac Rally to Time Attack. It is built to a tarmac rally spec. Time attack for me would involve more extreme weight reduction, more aero and more power. (ie built/stroked motor) but point accepted, it cetainly isnt in the same class as your MR.

[jEstEr?]

Albany?

[RK 86 WA]

entered :)

Easily solved argument ... swap cars for your last run fellas haha.

:lol:

[Darkside]

Entry in for Albany. Have sorted work commitments so all good...given the car survives targa south west. :)

[RK 86 WA]

Good luck :)

[FranZ]

Spending the week down south too Blaise?

[Darkside]

Nope. Might get some recci done this Sunday but unlikely. Am down buno way for Groovin the Moo on Saturday. Have a definate recci day locked in for the follwoing saturday but have to be back for scrutineering sunday. So be lucky to get one day recci done. As long as we have some notes to go off that will have to do. Is non competitive so really just out there to see if Raechel can keep her breakfast down and see how we both enjoy it generally. Should be a good opportunity for some "expressive" driving on the town stage. :) Sounds like I will be seeing you down there. 00 car?? :)

[FranZ]

Yep! :) I'm going to head down this weekend for a look at the roads.

Advice: do as much recce/practice as you can; it'll wear both you and Raechel out, but it'll pay off. The quicker you can develop your own style with what you're comfortable with and then start to give consistent notes, the better off and happier you'll both be!

Keep in the back of your mind that Raechel has to become familiar with what her bum is telling her and what you're telling her along with the correlation to the notes to help her stay on the notes without having to look up as often.

[Darkside]

Good tips. Thanks :)

[jEstEr?]

will see ya'll down there, looks like we'll be doing a control or two for TSW and have booked in for both hill climbs in Albany. Just spent yesterday out near Balingup/Kirup doing a road closure for the WARC, busy few weeks!

[RK 86 WA]

Just a question for the guys who have been to Albany,

I tried searching the entrace roads for Mt Clarance and Wind Farm on Google maps but I think I fail at searching.

Can anyone give me better locations/directions to the events? Lol

Thanks!

[RK 86 WA]

thanks buddy :)

[RK 86 WA]

argh crap got my entry in before the closing date but there are too many people :( haha

I guess see you guys at barbs.

[FranZ]

Albany is always filled really really quickly.

[RK 86 WA]

so you in then franz?

[FranZ]

nah, I planned to go down earlier this year, but decided a few weeks ago not to. Years gone by I always got my entry in within 2 days of entries coming out! Next hard step was to book accommodation down there! That too always means alot of early planning!

Going to the All Fours track day at Barbagallo on the Saturday instead.

[RK 86 WA]

Ah cool. Jeez thats early planning and will remember that for next year I guess haha

[bjohnson]

Guess that makes up my mind for me.
Well that combined with the 5-6 hour drive each way in a 5 speed with no cruise control!

I'll head out to the Barbagallo round though, makes me wish I practiced on the long track a little more.

[RK 86 WA]

Haha tell me about it, I think I've only done a couple at best laps around the long track :S

Tell you what though. Going to send in my entries today or tomorrow to make sure I get a spot this time.

[FranZ]

AFARCC track day Ben, plenty of time to attack the long track!

[RK 86 WA]

Hmm you have spiked my interest :)

[RK 86 WA]

So anyone who went down to Albany got results of the top 3 in each class for the Albany Rounds.

[FranZ]

I know Jester came 3rd outright at Mt Clarence on Saturday. Got an sms yesterday saying road was wet and had oil on it! :|

[RK 86 WA]

Wow!

Congrats to him!

[Denver]

entry is in for the long circut sprint

[jEstEr?]

3rd outright, 1st in class (AWD) at mt clarence

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a1aWxHWWhM

10th outright, 4th in class at windfarm. Just didn't have the horsepower + balls there and the Nissans mobbed me. also was raining and oil on the track. Plenty of excuses ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ppdvDaEslQ

[DJDINO]

Nice work Matt, looked slippery as a butchers dick out there ?

[jEstEr?]

yes, it was awfully wet

[RK 86 WA]

Whos in this weekend?

Looks like its going to be a tough day. Weather temps are optimal for the old engine but far from it for grip. Me thinks the first few runs until it warms up are going to be relearning long track at average pace and saving everything for the after lunch/afternoon stint.

Saturday Cold morning. Mostly sunny. Min 2 Max 17

edit:

also its interesting that we are getting 5 timed 3 lap runs as oppose to the 4 we normally get :)

Got my confirmation this morning..

Yeah I noticed the 5 timed runs in the supp regs, I guess they can fit a few more cars on the long track at once.

Haven't managed to get my diff fitted yet so I don't like my chances on improving my PB.

See everyone down there!

[RK 86 WA]

phew i stand a chance if that diff is yet to be fitted :)

[djr81]

Well Collie looks set to be a good weekend. Unfortunately due to the awesomeness of my local car dealers spare parts division I don't have any way of getting my car there other than pushing it. Apparently three weeks delivery means six weeks delivery - to Melbourne. Awesome.

[FranZ]

Any results yet?

[RK 86 WA]

negatory, poor bloke in a clean as 32r unfortunately seemed to have picked up a bit of the tire wall today :(

all in all a good day out!

[c.rusli]

except of the sun burn =P

Awesome day out, totally worth the commute.

Managed to knock a solid 2 seconds off my PB, so I went home happy!
