Meet up - Vic & NSW

photn · 30-10-2006, 09:17 AM

heya guys.......at the Best Racing Dinner the other night it was mentioned that there would be a track day down at Vic, well just outside vic, ware we could go for a drive with Darren (i believe it is) in his ST170 around the track and also you could take your own car down and take it on the track......

i thought maybee some forum members may have wanted to meet up......and organise a meet and greet style thingy......

anyway i just thought id put it out there, didnt want it getting to the last minute and people rushing to organise things......

MISTA FIESTA · 30-10-2006, 09:50 AM

Well sounds like an awesome idea. Was there any mention of dates?? March wasnt it?? I would concider coming down just for the MM(XR4 might have presence there) so if it on the same weekend that would be great

I would without a shadow of a doubt be IN IN IN.

FOCUSonTHIS · 30-10-2006, 10:31 PM

Yeah count me in too

zetec · 30-10-2006, 11:09 PM

Hmmm might have some track rims shortly... so I'm certainly keen.

Fast Eddie · 31-10-2006, 03:30 PM

I think it was 17th of December and I am seriously considering it.

amlohac · 31-10-2006, 05:48 PM

What track?

Timmeh · 31-10-2006, 08:24 PM

Winton, 17 Dec 06, $25 if you go on the track, in own car or as a passenger. It's a no speed limit day, if you drive like a bloody psycho they will kick you off the track. It's a no speed limit fun day.

Best Racing are offering rides to club members in their Class C Championship winning ST170 and would love to see people there.

They also have helmets for those that don't own any, and have offered to let club members use their racing workshop as a campsite for us to camp in the night before, for people travelling (I am sure this is what they said, Eddie might be able to confirm this via email?).

You would need:
$25
Long sleeved shirt, long pants, covered shoes
No loose objects in the car like unmounted subs, etc. You can store stuff in spectator vehicles if you know them.
A helmet (Best Racing has a few but if you can borrow one from a motorbike friend, do so).
Your car has to have no oil leaks either.

Great chance to get Vic and NSW members together. I'm keen.

Just a side note, the March date you're thinking of is the Bathurst 12 Hr endurance race they plan to compete in.

Nah I'm definitely in ONLY if theres a decent amount of Sydney and Vic members. Im not going on a cruise that far with only 3 or 4 bloody others! lol.

amlohac · 01-11-2006, 01:06 AM

OH GOD IM THERE. Im in albury im there for sure. Just have to find some spare tyres now.

MISTA FIESTA · 01-11-2006, 08:10 AM

It all sounds peachy atm, but the 17th is on a sunday so the only way i can get my **** down to Vic is if I fly down and have to work the next day. I can possibly get the monday off but i would have to pull alot of strings.

zetec drove up from VIC for the AFD day, then drove back down the next day.......

Blue_ST170 · 01-11-2006, 01:59 PM

i might come along....if i do i got heaps of helmets i can bring from our garage......also would i be able to take a radical on the track or does it have to be a street car??

photn · 01-11-2006, 02:18 PM

kool. on the radical thing. im not sure...but the more the merrier

amlohac · 01-11-2006, 02:59 PM

You may say its a bit of a stretch for you syd guys to make it, but its a bit of a stretch for guys like me to make it up there for cruises. Its a kinda ok halfway point for melbourne folks and country nsw people.

Timmeh · 01-11-2006, 04:38 PM

I have driven down to Heathcote for a drag day before and returned on the same day, it's not that bad.

In this case you could drive down on the Saturday, camp overnight, drive on Sunday and leave that afternoon at say 2 or 3pm to be back Sunday night.

I'm keen on meeting a few Victorian faces!

Edit: maybe I should take my car trailer to bring back to NSW any busted Eurofords :p

Timmeh

FOCUSonTHIS · 01-11-2006, 04:55 PM

Maybe you should Tim, charge them too

photn · 01-11-2006, 06:30 PM

as i have said b4 for me depends on Opperation.....but im really hoping that i dont need it as good news from Doc says i may not.....im planning on going down. doing exactly as Timmeh Said........but ill sleep in my boot.

like ive done previously when going sumware where i have failed to arrange accomodation....

Blue_ST170 · 01-11-2006, 09:19 PM

lol.....the boot????....try the back seat.......anyway if anyones knows about the radical it would be good cause i dont want to drag its *** all the way there to find out i cant drive it
