Targa West

[caminperth]

Hi all..

I'm getting involved in the chicane teams again for this year's Targa West on the weekend of the 9th/10th of September. We're a bit short on teams so the organiser has asked me to post up the following:

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

Targa West is on again this year Sept 7 - 10.

It's a Targa Tassie style event run right here in our own backyard. This year there is a great field of cars ranging from Posche GT3's, Lamborghini Gallardo, Maserati BiTurbo, to the awesome Orange Monaro of Steve Coad.

A great way of getting close to the cars on the stages is to be involved in a chicane team. All the chicane team is required to do is to set the chicane up (place bollards & signs in pre-marked locations), monitor it whilst the cars go through and then pack up once the stage is closed.

This year, we need approximately 22 chicane teams (teams of 3) for the event.

I know a number of people from this list were involved last year, so please indicate if your team will be involved again this year. If you weren't involved last year, grab two of your mates and make up a team. There is only a couple of training sessions to go to and you'll be right to go.

Please either email me (phay @ iprimus.com.au - without the spaces) or text/call 0432 841 228 if you'd like to be involved.

There is more info available at www.targawest.com.au

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

If you can get invovled I can recommend it. Having cars coming towards you hard under brakes from around 180~200km/h was pretty cool to watch.

Any questions - post em up and I'll try to answer them as best as possible - or just call Peter on the number above.

Maybe the bollard is wearing a condom under a new CAMS guideline to keep motorsport "safe"??
