Barbagallo And Collie

[Snowman]

Driving Blaise's shitter hey?

Lucky

Yeah there are worse cars out there. I had a session at AHG just before last Christmas in it and by all accounts it's even better now.

Should be fun.

[djr81]

Yeah I'm hoping to get down for the afternoon session at Collie on the Sat too. You staying down at Collie for the Sat night somewhere?

I have all your 06 Dutton W.A. vid's on my PC. Some nice driving there and it looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

What are you guys entering in this year?

Well if the dorito heroes are down Saturday I hope they have sufficient manners to clean the track before Sunday.

By the way Snowman it is Sandgroper, not grouper.

What is a DORITO heroe ???

When DriftWa hired collie for the 2 days it had to be a clean track or $600 fee was chargd , alot the DriftWa guys spent saturday night n sunday afternoon sweeping track to avoid the fee

[Snowman]

i'm keen to come out and give the gtst a run on the track,

should have my ap brakes in along with the rest of my suspension bits.

may not be fast but im sure i will have fun

got anymore details? or just rock up on the day?

edit: ahg is awsome, i had a track day there few months ago, got to attack the long track too

Right - got some info for Barbagallo on Saturday. I'm getting a 1 day membership ($60) and then it's $55 for the day. So thats costing me $115 total to run. I think you can get a yearly membership as well but obviously that's not required for me. $115 is reasonable for a track day though. (well it is over here)

If you ask nicely, seeing how the year if half gone & the V8's done you may find that membership is not much different to the $115 for the remainder of the year. You get a free track day voucher with the membership. Not sure what the nomination fee is, however. Just a thought for any first time locals. Worth asking.

do you know what the cost is to renew your membership? as mine expired at the beginning of the year, do you think i will have to signup again?

No I don't I'm sorry. Just ring the WASCC (or email them) & ask. They are nice people & don't bite!!!

Ill be crashing at the track sat night as im planning to hang around for tjhe sunday to watch some drift, and go for a trash if someone lends me a car for a bit of side-o action

Franz got a drive offer too good to pass up, read everything sponsored just drive the car, so we're not teamed up this yr, was also an issue of the 33 possdibly not being ready, which given he bailed on doing it with me this yr is happening due to me adding a stack more stuff in..

but im co piloting a group n prepared wrx rally car, so i should be at the pointy end

[Snowman]

Nice one It sounds like the pointy end this year in Dutton W.A. should be a lot more competative. I know Gazzard and Beaumont will be there this year and they'll be tough to beat but it will be fun to see how close we can all get since I know Jeff hasn't seen anything over in W.A. before. I'm really getting excitied and can't wait to get over there next weekend for a bit of a play. It's a shame Berry/Newman won't be there as you guys would love to see that GT-R in action. It is a weapon and a half.

[Denver]

yah, im disappointed the 32 is'n tocmming to show us what its made of, it looks awesome on the footage ive seen of it, even when its in the air over a barrier..

[Snowman]

And here I was thinking I was going to be getting away from the cold and rain for the weekend....

So how do you sign up for this track day?

Just turn up at Barbagello race way?

It is a practice day at Wanneroo. You need to be a member or to make other arrangements.

Just turn up at Barbagello race way?

Ring them up & talk to them. They are nice people.

At minimum you need to do some preliminary safety inductions etc.

Collie is a better bet for those without paperwork or preparation. Although it will probably be pissing down & there will be drift people there. You get your car scrutineered in the morning & do as many laps as you can be bothered.

Was good to catch up today with you and Blaise at Barbagallos today. Had a ball on the wet track after you left, although had to be on your toes avoiding the odd rwd sliding out in front of you

Hope Collie went well.

Cheers

Hey Gav,

Was nice to meet you and was great to have a look at 2 new tracks. I thought both of them were quite fun and the EVO was quite a nice bit of kit to have a play in. Although it was pretty damp out at Collie and I did manage to spear it off backwards once Bloody twtichy bastard! Still in the few laps I did get at both places I managed a 1.05.7 at Barbagallo and a 52.4 at Collie which I understand to be ok.

Your car definitely has massive potential but I think if you were really keen to get into some track stuff - especially given the nature of tracks you have in W.A. you'd be wise to consider a smaller turbo kit. It's either that or move to Vic. But with some smaller blowers and good tyres your car could be good for 1.03's around Barbagallo easy I reckon. It sure was a sweet bit of kit and nice to see.

Cheers

Snowy.

Sorry I didn't make it out to see either of you racing, but Mrs heading off east kinda put a stop to that.

Gav, Any improvement in the brakes ?

Chalk-and-cheese type of improvement, which is kinda what you would expect when comparing Pagid race pads with Bendix road pads.

Most suprising was how well the Federal rubber coped with the very wet track, although it could be expected that the deep groove pattern should help with the water dispersion away from the contact face.

Gav,

That's good news, both about the brakes and the tyres

Just read this thread.

At AHG i usually run on the Bridgestone RE55's. Last time i went out i was under prepared and out of time and had to run on the Federals 595RS's and i think they were fantastic!!! Ill be useing them everytime it looks to be wet.

Any pics from today?
