Well, its on again, the Bathurst Speed Weekend.

On the Saturday is a supersprint - standing start near the top of conrod right down thru the chase finishing at the main finish line.

Sunday is even better, a hillclimb up the track from conrod right up to macphillamy park.

$115 for each day, very cheap! And a good opportunity for a beer or 3 on sat night.

All you need is long clothing, AS approved helmet, fire extinguisher and battery triangle (and 2nd bonnet restraint if your car is pre 83)

aww shit

my old car

boys, this truly is a top event

the supersprint starting on conrod is tops

and as for the hillclimb, you get to do a "tyre warming exercise" (no shit, thats what they officially call it) beforehand./ so smoko the tyres

get entered

duncan, pls keep me informed of this event. id like to come watch on sunday. cheers, mark

Sounds good. I guess we should start organising accomodation now.

Minimum 4 runs, max 100 entries on day one, minimum 3 runs, max 80 entries on day 2.

I certainly hope we get more than 3 runs in one day. That would suck arse to go all that way for 7 runs over 2 days.

Yeah i was reading that... it seems a little harsh :)

I guess though.. 100 vehicles is a fair number, but still, so little runs as a minimum is suprising. Hopefully they dont get so many entrants!

no such thing as "track days" at bathurst using the whole track. unless you are racing a race car, built to a class you have no hope of driving the full track under closed 'race' conditions. :(

(Well, for watching unless someone donates a car)

finish your own car you butt pirate! this is 2 months away. stop bludging and get crackin'. gives you something to aim for. :(

You know what ive been doing this afternoon?

Shopping :dry:

There's just too much to consider, its getting to be a giant headache

Still, ill be driving up in one of the cars either way, so yeah, pub on Saturday night sounds good

You know the worst part about this? I was having those CV joint problems when this was on last year, and only the week before i magaed to get it all finished/fixed, so i missed out :P Still, the observant ones wouldve noticed it parked up there on top of the hill :P

Ya gotta love a race car driver that doesn't read the sup regs!!!. Sunday's hillclimb starts on Mountain Straight not Conrod. Duncan were you on the turps when you posted up?.

Talking of turps,,,Saturday night sounds like a top idea to me,,,good thinking 99.

hge better be ready buddy or you could always use another car or 2 in the stable.

Come on everybody fill those entry forms out and lets have some fun.

Neil.

ps - with the supersprint - is there any point with the 180 speed limiter???

I guess it depends on your power, I didn't get it with my old gtst.

And last Time I did it there was no-where near 100 entries, and I got 6 runs each day....which is a lot for a hillclimb.

Also, don't forget its only $115 each day, its a great weekend away and not hard on the car.

supersprint is started halfway down conrod (in the dip) so if you do 180 before the kink you'll be a happy boy. easy done

supersprint i only got in about 5 last time, but damn it's fun

hillclimb i got plenty of runs

with any luck, it'll rain. makes for more fun

    • 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.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
