Promise I will behave... But I can't say the same for Danielle. Just too much of me to keep her hands off


Hmmm... If its a certain two I know of then you could be in for some trouble. They are coming down to go hunting - Stig hunting season I have been told

 

Hmm, it was "an RX-8" that we heard of. Unknown colour or driver! but they said they were getting in practise for nats.

 

Hahaha, glad to hear some cockies have plans to run some quick times down there. Can't have Stigwannabe getting all the glory, lol.

Damn, wish I could go...sniff! lol

Have you filled the track numbers yet?

Edit - a cunning plan has formed in my evil little brain, mwahahaha. Will get back ta youse...

 

Dave, awesome if you can come Beers on Saturday night wont be the same otherwise.

I am just waiting on a Bank statement and I will update the list.

Cheers

Andrew

 

OK people, this is the last 2 days to get your orders in for Shirt Sizes and Plates. After Wednesday I CANNOT guarantee you will be able to get one of these items.

I also have only 4 track spots free (30 in total) and 6 people left to make deposits, so please get your deposit in ASAP as we are taking track spots on first come first serve basis.

Cheers

Andrew

 

Ok I also have been working.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO COME THIS YEAR?

NUMBER 1
We have made contact with Kevin Flynn and him plus one of his Grade 3/4 instructor will be at Winton this year.
http://www.driverdynamics.com.au/
Kevin starts at the current TV show Test Drive. So he is a celeb.


NUMBER 2

http://tractiontyres.com.au/
We will also acquire a tyre company to be there to give us advice re: tyre questions in general and be there when (touchwood) events happens. To be finalised but I am confident that Traction Tyre from Rowville will make their appearances.


EXCITING!

NUMBER 3

I also have donation from www.rotary13b1.com for their products.

NUMBER 4
Also I will be going to make some fire extinguisher brackets to be sold there at cost price. I will post some details and picture when I get it installed in my car.

 

Good work Mr Prez.

 

can you get any tyre stores to donate some tyres

 

That is called DrewMan's tyre....

Thanks Drew.. (now everyone claps)

Serious note... I have thought of and tried that....

 

Hey Mr President

Any news on Traction Tyres support for our event? More importantly, any pre-Nats deals as I need new rubber?

Cheers

Greg

 

Traction tyres is confirmed of coming.

No deals has been done with them prior to the Nats.

They are good people and the owner's wife owns an RX-8 (Shinka Copper Red manual). So I am sure they will look after you. . I suggest to give them a call.

 

Could those people who have paid deposits please finalise the remainder asap.

Cheers

Andrew

 

Now it is just about a month out of the Nationals... how is everyone going about their cars.

Mine is prepping for final alignment tomorrow. I have corner weighted, Knight sported, oil changed, newly-air-filtered, newly-brake-padded, newly-tyred (Advan'ed), GPS Racechronoed, ...

Still waiting an endlink to come and I am right!

**************************************

On the organising end, I have been struck by some wonderful news from fdracer (Jason)...

Very very VERY exciting news.

 

Courtesy of MikeyR, have changed oil in engine, gearbox and diff.

Will organise alignment, etc shortly.

My pads still as new. Tyres still plenty of wear.

Driver weighs about 13kgs less than last year too, lol.

I'm not bothered about times though - this is my first time at Winton, so I'm treating it as an exploratory tour (and an excuse to get some tuition)...

 

13kg lighter.

Oh my you healthy Dave. Well done.

 

Guys just a bit of an update. Due to a number of factors including change of owners and broken promises, but mainly that I didnt realise these other guys existed, we have moved the accomodation from Trekkers Rest (thats the last you will hear me mention that name) to the Benalla Leisure Park (no taka thats not what it means )

The facilities are better (toilets and showers in each cabin), they are of a higher standard, they are providing all the meals on site for us and we managed to wrangle a pretty good deal.

Cheers

Andrew

 

Thanks.

There's a downside though - everyone I know asks me questions as if I've just got out of Changi (hey, I was hardly tubby before) and I'm having to gradually replace the wardrobe, which is bloody exxy I'm discovering .

And before anyone asks, no, I'm not

 

Well done Dave. I have only managed 7kg

Also I am happy to add that Mr Nakamura, the President of Knightsports, will be coming down to obvserve our antics

 

No need to worry Dave just ask Taka... As long as I am there you will not be the slowest!

 

...the secret?

 

Don't listen to him Stu. Tubby can boogie.

 

To what?

If it's getting your oil changed by a good mate, don't know. It sure as hell ain't my good looks and charm, hahaha!

If it's losing weight - simple: move more, eat less and...sorry, this'll hurt...drink less beer.

 

Hey fellow Victorians

What's happening on the Friday with regards to getting to Winton?

Are we going to all convoy there together or is everyone making their own way?

If we go together, what time will we be leaving?

I have a mediation scheduled for 1pm on that day so I'm wondering if I should change it.

Cheers

 

Greg,

I have not decided what time I will be up there yet? But I mostly likely to be there for lunch.

 

Thanks Taka

It looks like I will be leaving mid afternoon. If anyone else is looking at leaving around that time, maybe we could arrange to drive up together.

Cheers
