Eastern Creek Drive Day Thursday 24th July, 2003

[TokyoTaxi]

I'll be doing my rain dance tonight for sure !

[nissky]

it better not rain!

:shake: :shake: :shake:

some stupid questions,

where is the closest bp or shell?

which gate do we go through? im guessing its the one round the back?

cheers

[benm]

Shell = Corner of GWH and Brabham Cr. (entry road into Eastern Creek which goes under the M4).

Gate = Yup gate 7 around the back (follow Brabham Cr around the track until you get to the back).

Nissky,

Don't worry if it does rain. I'll take you out and show you the way to get arond the track sideways

How's the new hair dryer going ??

[nissky]

hey scott...

the turbo is fine...it was great for a month...now its slow! ;p

it doesn't take long to get use to any mods unfortunately

hehe

I think that's why they invented Nitros Oxide. When you get a little board you push the button and fill your undies and that's enough to tied you over.

If you think you're complacent with the performance now, wait until you've got the hang of the track and decide to chase down some arrogant tosser in a Ferrari

Thats what i spent the 3rd session doing. I had him on the straight up until i was 190km/h speed limited. He had me alittle from Turn 2-7 although he made me boil my brake fluid so not happy jan.

With my new tyres i'd eat him without a problem.

I've actually got footage of me sling-shotting past the 328GTS after turn 6 when his tyres started going off and he couldn't hold his line. AZENIS vs. PIRELLI ( AZENIS WINS ! )

Hrm... 328GTS... Drooooool

Sooooo... Who's looking forward to tomorrow..

[Majanal]

Well guys I must appoligise... this day has snuck up on me and I have been a bit slack. I will be at the track from 7:30am... and yes I will be on time and no I don't know if I'll be driving...

I would suggest that you all try to arrive between 7:30 and 8 am as it takes time to fill out forms and then once all that is done I have to get final payments of $130 off everyone and also go and spend approx. 20 mins going through the paperwork etc. so that leads us up to the drivers briefing @ 8:30am.

Thanks to all those guys that have been answering the questions put forward.

The forcast is for rain tomorrow and Tracey has said that the day WILL be on regardless of the weather. Remember it take alot of rain to really soak a track these days.

Anyway,

See you all tomorrow morning.

Dan.

If its going to rain then i have to put the camera in the car, bald D01Js will make life interesting.

My money is on me making an even bigger ass of myslef then i did at Wakefield in the rain:rolleyes:

[Duncan]

At the risk of being serious for a moment, cheater tyres are a HGE handful in the wet. Leave em at home I say.

They still have high threshold, and let go as you'd expect, the surprise comes when they regain grip when you least expect it - and you go spearing off into the undergrowth.

I think Roy saw my idea of drifting with cheater tyres on down @ wakefield one day - about 7 spins in 3 sessions :bahaha:

[PranK]

Dan - have you got me down as driving or reserve? I hope the later... i just dont know what time to get there...

[Neil]

Thanks Duncan,,,think I'll pack my street tyres as well. Divorce would be as ugly as a damaged Skyline.
