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.

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

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.

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?

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.
