count me in, transfering coin now and sending email.

[XF Falcon]

only 2 hours, any idea why its such a short time?

[Daisy]

mike, only 10 people over the 2 tracks means pretty much constant driving. pretty much guarantee you`d get more track time in this 2hrs than we did in the 3hrs we had on saturday. get in on it mike.

[poombah]

as above - you get skidpan and the track to play with - your guarenteed to get a decent amount of laps of each...

[Brute]

Transfering money now.

[XF Falcon]

Count me in then! I've got some stockies to destroy. I'll take the "fast" car this time :D

Money has been paid, and email has been sent

[poombah]

Count me in then! I've got some stockies to destroy.

Bearing in mind it is the RAC driving centre... burnouts and drift is a no no.

[mitchy]

hah, yeah there was definately no white falcon utes covering the entire skid pad in smoke on saturday...

keen to come and watch again. :)

[Daisy]

its a weekday mitchy so you would have to bunk off work.

and that was one skid, on my track day. i behave on other poeples days (dont panic poombah), and want to get some proper practice in for the Aust tarmac challange, need to make sure i dont come last, which is highly likely.

[poombah]

hah, yeah there was definately no white falcon utes covering the entire skid pad in smoke on saturday...

keen to come and watch again. :)

Again... Bearing in mind it is the RAC driving centre... burnouts and drift is a no no.... it depends on who is facilitating on the day... most people are fairly tolerant as long as you play by the rules and cool it off if you start getting a bit too excited.

[ChrisGTR]

99% sure I'll be in. Will know once I get home.
Taking it seriously this time though.
Last one was good fun but didn't learn too much from it.

[XF Falcon]

Yeah its cool, I've been there 3 times before now I think. No static skids are permitted, but a bit of sliding is ok so long as you are in control and don't link up the corners :)

[perthute]

got ban'd for drifting there track :( that old guy with the 180sx hates drifter's ,

Nah... he's probably one of the more lenient ones there.

[Tre-Cool]

payment and email sent.

[poombah]

Cool - a few more spots left now.

[poombah]

Event is full now.. thanks guys.!

[XF Falcon]

Can't wait man

[Tre-Cool]

gonna be interesting if it's pissing down rain still.

[poombah]

wheres your sense of adventure!

im the poor bastard whos going to be standing in the rain haha.

[XF Falcon]

Hope its not raining.. I wanna test out these new swaybars I installed.
But what can ya do, if she rains she rains.

That little undercover area is gonna be pretty full then :P

[Tre-Cool]

Oh, im not bothered if it's raining.

Personally i'd like to try out my new rear suspension parts in my ute, and see how good the new kuhmo ku36's are.

[esky]

I'll save you the wait, ku36's are shit.

[ChrisGTR]

I'll save you the wait, ku36's are shit.

Agreed.
Put a brand new set of KU36s on my car a couple of weeks ago and not as good as what I had expected. They might be better when they warm up a lot more but at AHG skidpan it was shithouse.
If it's wet then hang on for your life.
Hope it doesn't rain tommorow. Either way, should be fun :)

[poombah]

I'll save you the wait, ku36's are shit.

i disagreee. having driven on many shit tyres i can say for what they cost me they are excellent value for money... i got mine from option 1 garage - $716 delivered iirc for a set of 235/45/17...

Theyre fine for skidpan

Theyre fine for a few laps around a track

Great road tyre

they arent good at countinual laps.. after they get warm they soon get greasy.. but when you look at $170ish a tyre as opposed to $450-$550 a tyre for a proper rcomp... theyre great for beginners or people who want a good daily tyre then can take to teh track without changing wheels.

[Tre-Cool]

yeah they seem a bit better then the proxes 4 i used to run on the back and as i was up for new tyres anyway decided to give them ago.

there a 275/35/18 which i paid 360 a tyre for.

[Daisy]

that seems a bit pricey dude, 265/35/18 ku36 from option1garage is only 240 plus about 20/pair for postage last time i got some. next time your after tyres hit up dean [turbo4L] or option1garage.com

[Tre-Cool]

Hey are we able to see if we can do 2 flying laps seeing as there is only 10 or so of us?

Last time i did it i reakon 1 flying lap wasnt long enough.

[XF Falcon]

Was a great day. The staff there were pretty relaxed which is always a bonus.

If anyone got pics/vids post them up here.

[ChrisGTR]

Awesome day. Had heaps of fun.
XF your XR6T is nuts!
Anyone got any photos or videos?
