[Beer Baron]

boys me and the GTR are out car is not ready due to some equipment failure :banana:

my other two mates are still coming though, and i 'may' come out anyway in the GTST.

[N1GTR]

Oh no Richard!!!!

Whats the problem?

[Beer Baron]

spray booth broke they waiting on parts now. parts arrive friday. :cry: so close.

[N1GTR]

Oh thats not good mate

So you cant use your GTST?

[Beer Baron]

i could use the GTST, but to be honest i'm just pissed and not really in the mood to flog it's little guts out. things may change between now and then though... lol

[N1GTR]

fair enough - fingers crossed you can make it

Out of interest, does that mean you lose your money or you can move it to another day?

[Beer Baron]

i will talk to aaron about that.

[J@y]

Hey Paul,

Jus to note, i haven paid yet. Trying to get to aaron. Left a msg but he hasn't got back to mi. Should be paying on the day itself.

Anyways,

This is my first trackie so it would be good if the seasoned trackies can provide some advise to us new trackies. things like any preps to the car? etc.

Cheers and many tks

Jay

J@y this is what I did and was recommended to do:

- Check tyre pressures.

- Check/change brake pads

- Change brake fluid

- Change oil + filter

- Check all fluid levels, and bring spare engine oil and coolant also.

- Get rid of all the crap that moves around inside the car - empty the boot, lose the spare.

- Buy a helmet.

- Dont have the fuel tank 100% full as they leak fuel a lot of the time. Buy a $20 jerry can and fill it up with petrol, then fill the car up 1/2 or 3/4 and keep the jerry can with your stuff in the pits.

- Take a foot air pump (for tyres).

- Make sure car is balanced/aligned well

- Fire extinguisher

That sounds like something i would say "take the "crap" out"

I feel so sorry that you wont be there, but at least pop that head of yours in and say hello?

I remember reading somewhere he is having 2 more this year at OP GP, maybe when you speak to him ask him about that - i may be wrong, but its worth a shot

pussy

Thats what i suggested

lol you gave me half that list. I quoted you word for word.

[N1GTR]

lol you gave me half that list. I quoted you word for word.

Oh.........

Well that sorts that out

[Beer Baron]

only thing i'd change on that list is forget the foot pump. wakefield have a compressor (that 'mostly' works). bring a decent tyre pressure gauge instead. like this one:

not this type (they are a bitch):

if you like driving hard it's a good investment. but if you dont want to fork out i'm sure you can borrow one from somone on the day.

[Wink]

Do we need a SNELL approved helmet for this?

[Duncan]

Kinda...you need an AS approved helmet. snell is the us equivalent which is one of the standars accepted in AS.
