[Belsil80]

post up your intrest about the price!

[MissJuz]

Done!

[acsplit]

No luck for me i will miss out this one.

Coilovers on their way but my 324mm brake setup won't

[phunky_monkey]

It's not much more expensive than Sandown, I'm cool with it.

now to make sure the car is ready!

[Ant97GTR]

Yep no problems paying that....after all I have to pay $150 for an unorganized (well compared to the SAU vic/WRX events anyway ) track session at Barbagallo!!

I'm Hoping this will be my first track session after getting back to vic

When are the supp regs etc avail bec?

[Bec]

Not sure yet Ant - will post them up as soon as I have them though.

I expect them to be available around the start of March - but we will have to wait and see

[ferni]

I'm in.

[Roy]

Well, im hoping ot make it. Actually i will be. This will be my last chance to drive PI on good rubber

Let the smack talk begin!

LOL...what are my chances of doing a 1:51 ?

Any takers?

[Snowman]

As good as mine are of doing 1.43.

I'll be there and will be mainly hoping to drive the car home.

It's been nearly 2 years since I was last at PI so I'm pumped to go. Mind you it's been 18 months since I completed a track day so I'm not getting too excited about any times or anything. Infact if I can get your 1.51 I'll be happy Bris.

[HIZOKU]

i would love to goto this but i have to go work at autosalon with my RC car agian DAMM SPONSERS lol

[Roy]

LOL...now we are talking. Are we going to bet a keg on it.

My previous best is 1:58.

[Snowman]

Scotsmans best there is still 1.51 I think. Maybe he'll be happy to bet with you!

The fact some of these other boys are doing 1.43's is just plain freaky.

But Bris - be warned in all seriousness that unless it's a PIARC day they are now super strict on the 75dB@30m thing. Aaron got pinged late last year and his car is super quiet.

Yours isn't. You might only get a couple of laps if you don't tone the exhaust down.

Infact everyone should be well aware of this before they fork out the $180. If you think your car is loud either bring something to make it quiet or be prepared to just tottle past the testing station (which is on the inside on the main straight down near turn 1.)

OOH. Good point. Might have to see about getting the gate plumbed back up.

As for the times. Yeh who knows. I just want a session with no yellow flags and no car problems. Something i havent been able to do at PI...though my car appears to be over its hissy fit it had when it first arrived in Vic.

So i want a sub 1:55. How much i can goi under it i dont know. But i still think that is Chris did a 1:51 in his GTR (in 2004 spec) then my car should be able to do it...the driver just needs some more practice. Hell a farking Mirage does 1:53s

Mind you it's been 18 months since I completed a track day so I'm not getting too excited about any times or anything.

The only track day i have finished as i have started is Sandown. I know it sux but sooner or later you will come out the other side. I am running out of time and money, and patience. All i care about is the times because my engine will only hold on so much longer and when it goers bang i will be parkign it for a long time

[JAGR33]

I'll be at PI this Sunday for the PIARC day, chasing 1:47's...

Roy - If you get a 1:51 I'll buy you 2 kegs.... On a serious note, a lot of time can be made at turn 1, hayshed, and coming onto the front straight.

Hold it flat through those corners and you will be on the money!!!!

In saying that 1:53's is achievable, it just depends on whether your foot listens to your brain, if the brain says back off, DON'T!!!

[Roy]

Roy - If you get a 1:51 I'll buy you 2 kegs.... On a serious note, ...

LOL...im being serious . So is that a bet?

And before ppl get upset with me...its all taking the piss. You have to have a goal, its great to hit it, no shame in trying and missing

LOL. It takes a bet for me to get my ass in gear and get the car ready. I wanted to do this weekend but DECA weeeknd has left me broke. Really looking forward to this. Will be my first track day since Sandown 2005.

I have to keep telling myself that:

Phillip Island:

- Mirage , 1:53s

- Commodore Ute , 1:52s.

- ME (PB) , 1:58s

At Sandown:

- Mirage does a 1:27

- Ute , 1:26

- Me (PB) , 1:25

At Winton:

- Mirage , 1:38

- Ute , 1:41

- Me (PB) , 1:41 (Dutton when i ran out of fuel on the warm up lap )

So its up to me to get the job done. The car should be capable

[JAGR33]

You can do it Troy, I'm giving you the confidence you need!!!!

[abcent]

I'd be interested in doing DT (first track day) if its available. I Love this track! I've done it on a semi race Yamaha R1 bike....

[Roy]
