some of you guys are going to need 4wd in this weather.

[Kinks]

in this weather I would be crossed up all over the shop.

and that would just be getting there

It would be a fairly cheap trackday, won't chew up any tyres or brakes and prob only use half as much fuel.

its just so wet i dont know how they can have a good run.this kind of weather would be good for things like targa and track training for wet weather conditions.

I think you'll find that most people heading out are the people who do want to learn a few things.. and with the guys from Ian Luff Motivation there to help you out, it'd be a killer day.

still too many people for me.

BTW, when I enquired through Ian Luff, the cost was $195.. not $220. Corinne, can you confirm what the difference is for?

What an interesting day!

had 4 sessions out there, 3 in the rain!

2 sessions were quite heavy and was getting a bit dicey out there.

Learnt alot more about car control, lines, etc in the wet, hopefully that can help me in the dry as its easier in the dry!

Had some fun from main straight into and out of turn 1 - some nice drifting

and also turns 2 and 3 were linked a few times!

1 time I had a bit too much pace and came off into the mud at around 110km which was fun! My window was down so theres mud everywhere in the car!

Unfort though there were two accidents.

From here there was me, Corinne, Brad, Brendan turned up to spectate and who else? Sorry for forgetting!

Was a good day, some real good cars..

GTRs, evo's sti's, a ford GT40 replica, datto 1200 with CA18 which haulled arse!

Liz, there were 3 groups 6-8 in each - sometimes only 4

plenty of room and plenty of track

you missed out!

[dontfeelcold]

I was there, in shorts and a blue hooded jumper

[dontfeelcold]

The datto sounded awesome as did the GT40, and of course the 2 GTR's that were running around.

Condolonces to the owners of the unlucky cars

[Nismo_God]

That datto was awesome....watching it hit boost down the straight in the wet.....was my pick of the bunch....

Good day to learn how to drive!

Boz really helped me heaps especially in the wet. I lol'ed and freaked out when he pulled the handbrake up on me. Haha

Very very slippery out there and unfortunately we had a couple of mishaps but lets not talk of that.

All and all besides the weather it was a good day to learn how to control the car in such harsh conditions and you realise how easy it is for the car to slip out in the wet.

Cheers!

I did yesterday, I had mud everywhere and there still is!

Took some of the paneling off yesterday and doing a detail this week sometime.

Boz is definately the master

Why not talk about the mishaps.. wouldn't it be better to all learn from the mistakes out ther rather than to keep it hush hush?

[D_I_F]

Boz is definately the master

You got that right.. He was driving some of the new jags in the morning for a demo and wow he was quick in the wet!

[evil_weevil]

the aston was sex on wheels.

the aston was sex on wheels.

It was wasn't it..

It was very impressive just watching them take the cars out for a drive.

They make it look so easy

[Beer Baron]

so come on, own up who's got some wall love?
