There is no entry forms or anything for Wakefield. We just turn up and pay on the day.

Itinery is as per the 1st post. The only thing left to be discussed now is a departure time on Tuesday. That will be done closer to the date.

4am?

[Snowman]

My current thought is the Shell on Hume @ 6am.

Unfortuanetly I cannot take 3 days off work.

But I really want to go!!!!

Solution - drive up to Wakefield Tuesday (public holiday, no work)

- Race at Wakefield all day Wednesday

- Drive back to Melb Wednesday night

- Work Thursday

Therefore lose 1 days work instaed of 3.

Looks like the only solution for now, bummer, really wanted to go EC aswell.....

[Roy]

Yeah I know but if I go to EC I lose two days work, drive up Thursday, race Friday..

Aaron you going to both??

[Snowman]

Bah - I haven't driven Eastern Creek but it's just going to be about 1 corner and that one corner is going to be insignificant next to PI turn 1.

Wakefield however is ace fun. It is by far more enjoyable to drive than any track in Vic other than the Island.

[Roy]

EC turn 1 is pretty fun. Its kinda similar. In your cars you will probably be arriving doing about 240km/h. Quick blip of the brakes and hammer through at over 200km/h. Its a much longer corner then PI...still great fun thoigh. Best fun at EC is the back of Corporate Hill where you have the car floating over the rise as you try to keep the think glued to the inside...good fun. And brakign up to the final comples of lefts for the straight. A lot like Dandenong at Sandown where if you straight line it you can get on the brakes real late then hop you havent over cooked it and ebd up on the dirt mid corner...

Wakefield is still better fun in the cars i have driven,,,though none of them have had the stomp you guys throw around so perhaps when you are closer to the 1:40 lap times its a bit more involving?!?!?

[Snowman]

For those coming that have never seen Wakefield before here is a little in-car lap by the SAU Track Times Wakefield leader gaint (well it was Mark driivng but still..)

Note - the start finish line is at about the 30s point of the video.

[Roy]

That GTR isnt that quick it is

...and i cant type to save me, excuse all the typos

[Duncan]

muhahahah i love that footage, it goes OK doesn't it? he's grabbing 5th before I grab 4th on the straight.

i think i need more herbs

[Snowman]

I love how easily he does that tricky shift at turn 8. I don't know how many times I grabbed 5th instead of 3rd there. And then spun off at the next corner. lol

The most suprsing thing from that footage though is him taking turn 2 in 2nd. Not sure if his gearing in the ppg has a long 1st or something but turn 2 is pretty wide and reasonably quick from my memory.(I say this knowing that car has a 4.4 diff in it) I was only grabbing 2nd at turns 7 and 10.
