[Roy]

You already need to start a second column!

[phunky_monkey]

I should be up for this! I think I'll get liftoff on symmons

[Bec]

Ohhhh more road trip - im IN!

I know my vote probly doesnt count, but I voted for Feb, only coz March/April is starting to get too close to Dutton.

This will be ace - I havent been to Tassie since Grade 6 camp.

[Belsil80]

Baskerville looks like an fun track. Be a killer on the rhs tyres tho. i am in for this one. Feb would be the wisest as it is the furthest from dutton.

[SABBAi]

I'm in too. Feb looks to be the winnah

[blind_elk]

an idea of the some good roads/drives...but any local input woudl be greatly appreciated.

I've done 2 of the 3 run by NDSOC, and I'm working on one for Oct/08.

If you want a couple of ideas, you MUST do Longford across to Bothwell via Poatina. The highway up to Swansea, IIRC. And Elephants Pass up to St Marys, and down the other side.

I have been down to Tassie 3 times with the WRX club on the bi-annual "Targa Rex". We did all the targa tasmania stages as well as spending a day at baskerville. The blind left hander at the top of the circuit is a butt puckering moment if you come up to it too quickly.

Quite simply, the best 8 days I have ever spent in a car.

Highly recommended.

Andrew

Excellent. We shall chat Greg

[khunjeng]

sounds fully sick

just the thought of driving my car sounds good at this stage.... 2.5 months and counting...Although I love driving the hyundai.

Like Greg, I've also done two of the NDSOC events over there, great fun and both tracks are great to drive on. One of the guys is organising a trip over there in February as well at the moment (the trip is not affiliated with the club), the two groups might pass each other haha.

OOOHHHH MMMYYYYYY GGGOOOOOOOOOD

Guys I arranged this trip to Tassie at the start of the year with the EVO boys some of you will know Scott = OZTME he will be able to reiterate to you how much fun this was and how good that track was also, Anyone even considering this event should not miss it.

Cheers

This is a great idea, I just hope my car is going by then!

Let me know if I can be of any help Roy, I know a bit about the running of Symmons and some good roads

I vote Nov 08 - I should have some coin by then aftre Dutton in May.

[alexk]

Ah you should just give Dutton a miss - you're no good anyways.

[RAZOR32]

Dont care when as i'm from Hobart, car'nt wait

[Roy]

Ok, so over the next 3 weeks i will confirm the dates availabel to us in Feb. Please do not post up if you are not both genuinely interested and likely to attend.

A bit more preliminary info so that you can realistically assess your involvement...

Track entry, accom, Spirit of Tassie alone will be costing you $900. On top of this you have fuel and meals. From this we will be getting a small subsidy that will make aspects of the trip a little cheaper. But generally it will be a $1000 trip away. The social nights out and activities during the day are sure to be worth taking leave/holidays for. I post this because an approximate idea of numbers will help with discussion with venue managers and the Tassie Govt.

Will this 'track' be on the itinerary??
