Rain is frustrating at first, then its the great fun... although i recommend you pay a wet track a little more respect then i did the 1st time. I spun off like 6 times that day (yeh so whats so unusual about that) and ended up driving home with tuffs of grass caught in my rear spoiler/windscreen wiper/rear views.

Spinning off the end of the main straight may be bad for your health.

Im sad to be missing this day, copping liquidated damages at work at the moment for runing over schedule so overtime it is.

Well, we've currently got more than 10, but basically we are paying for the whole day, so we'll use the whole day regardless of how many people we have. Unless of course everyone gets sick of it and wants to go home :(

I am coming to the track day on Saturday, but I haven't got my Skylines Australia membership yet even though I posted it about 4 weeks ago. Does this matter? I'm really looking forward to it now, rain or shine.

No probs. Just turn up on the day, and you'll be accepted, as long as there are spots left.

I believe we currently have 24 entrants. Not catastrophic, but still lower than desired (35-40).

Note that there is a late fee of $10 if you enter on the day.

The weather was very kind ... the whole morning session was wet, with light sprinkling for most of the time. But that gave everyone a chance to play in the rain.

The whole of the afternoon was dry ... and the track dried up pretty quickly. Good since we were timing the afternoon.

Great day. Thanks to the organisers for putting it on. I actually left early at about 2.30 after running out of petrol. I figured I may as well get a headstart since I had to drive back to Newcastle.

I was pretty happy with a 1.17 on my first time at a track.

Top day. I'm so glad it dried up there after lunch.

It was good to have some propper timing on the day. Gives you something to aim for, and you can see your improvements. :D

My sincere thanks to the HCC for organising the day. I hope to attend the next one.

Cheers,

Scott.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
