If you don't mind travelling - the Honda Motorbike shop in Berwick, oppo to Berwick Mazda has a HUGE range of motorcycle helmet in a better price than Elizabeth street.

They are at the Princess Hwy exit in Berwick, after Narre Warren exit to Fountain Gate when you are heading towards Warragul.

 

One week to go

 

Hey Guys - Im out - having troubles these days getting to these events due to work committments....have an awesome day - andrew - have emailed you.

 

Tim, no email.

 

do we have one spot left now?

 

My cars ready.......oil and brake fluid changed plus a complete going over at STi......4 sleeps to go.

 

ehhhh. no. We have oversubscribed in the first place... right? Suggestions?

 

Sorry All, thought I had posted this before.

Gates open at 08:00
Briefing will be at 08:30
Scruiteneering will be at 08:45
Track opens at 09:00 for the 1st group of people

You will all be required to sign a disclaimer/waiver during the briefing which basically says you are on a track and winton raceway and myself are not responsible for anything you do. NOBODY, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES will be allowed onto the track without signing one of these. I will also collect the remainder of the money from you then too.

If you dont have a AASA or CAMS track license, please go the office, fill in the form and pay for you AASA license as soon as the office is open (8:30am I believe).

Track closes at 17:00-17:30 (depending on light)
Gates close 18:00

If you are unable to make it too the track by briefing time, dont stress, just make sure you come and see me (The big tall ugly dude that doesnt fit into his Blue RX-8) or Taka (Otherwise know as ... THE STIG!. Looks like his sig' - in a black RX-8) or Stuart (otherwise known as ILIV48 or TUB! in the Red MX-5) BEFORE you go onto the track.

Cheers

Andrew

Welcome to the RT-615 Club

Been using this tyre for a while now.

 

Whats your take on them? You use them track or street? or both? what size you running?

Andrew

 

Both, 225 40 18 as I have 18 x 8 Prodrive rims. Daily driving their excellent apart from being a little more noisy than the OEM Bridgestones. On the track their pretty good and the shoulders hold up well. Was using Bridgestone RE55s tyres for track only but got sick and tired of changing wheels between track and street. They are nowhere as good as the RE55s on the track but hey their not race rubber as such and you could not live with the RE55s for daily driving. Put it this way I'll get them again.

 

Astro and I will be at Donnybrooke Shell and depart just before 6am.

Channel 28 if you know what I mean.

 

woo hoo,
Can get out of work at 10.30 am Monday . Will be driving down from Albury to say hello .
Regards
Rexi

 

Nice work rexi.

 

Great Day!

Thank you & congrats on the organisation both leading up to & on the day.

Look forward to the next track day!

 

Thanks for a great day

 

A BIG thank you to everyone for making it a great day. After a shaky start everyone came through and made it a fantastic day. And the rain held off WOOOOO!!!!

Cheers

Andrew

 

Thanks for everyone attending.

Particularly Russ and Andrew for their support. We all have straight car home so it is a bonus.

Just one buckled wheel How is that going Stu?

I need to see a sport psychologist - when I put my heart driving the damn thing, I beated my PB by 4/10th, with 4 consecute laps better than my previous time. I was up to 4 sec too slow all day. What is going on?

Thanks taka.

I also wanted to say thanks DavidM. He was a huge help to me. So thanks :-D

Andrew

 

I am still exciting about the time. It is a good victory (and huge improvement) since it is a very dirty track - so much rock. It is redicious.

So Andrew improve by 4 sec and astro by 5... well done.

Someone timed Stu's MX-5 at 1"44.... handtimed of course. Where was the plan to secretly put in a transmister in this car ?

 

Pics? anyone?

Taka you dont need a sports psyhcologist, you have the same problem as most of us. Way to much testosterone going to the wrong side of the brain. The side that controls the right foot.

 

Taka, the timing of the MX was a 1:46 while Russel was driving, I was right with the "Official" timer ;-)

No pics sorry Why but I have some footage of my now regular whoopsie at the chicane http://rx-8.harrisfamily.id.au/videos/Whoops.avi (3 meg DivX)
