If you are in Brisso, you may know and have used the old Lakeside circuit for testing, clubbys etc.

If you are a racer and have to drive for years to test, you know what a shit it is....

This link is an online petition to help my mates in Brissy keep more than One race circuit....

Thanks

Us Perthies only have one race circuit, and ive gotta say, it f'in sucks. The track is boring and has corners in all the same bloody direction, bar 1. You can also lap it in under a minute... whoopee.

Even if you brizzy guys can get a large club to take over management of the facility to keep it ticking over for the clubbies that would do.

Weve got an amatuer circuit down in Collie thats run by one of the touring car clubs. Its nowhere near the spec of Barbagallo in terms of asphalt quality and safety, but its bloody good fun.

It would be a shame to lose lakeside, get behind it Brisbane!

So what's the story with the track?

I read in Motorsport News that they were trying to get heritage listing which woul mean the track has to remain as is, and therefore couldn't be bought and rdeveloped...sounded like a good idea.

Has something changed?

I always wanted to go for a wrap around Amaroo, but by the time i got my licence the track had been bulldozed.

Lakeside is another layout that looks challenging, lots of high speed flowing corners, i hope they find a way to keep it open.

Maybe the pit facilities are not as good as Queensland Raceway but the layout seems to produce better entertainment

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
