2 X Road Trip Opportunities

[N1GTR]

Ok guys, ill get straight to the point

Im very keen (and i know there are others aswel) at doing a track day at phillip island. Now the calander for the year is looking pretty good. I want to go down a few times this year, and the first trip will be in april, reason is there's 2 opportunities to do PI in april!

I had planned to include Winton in the first trip but they wont allow us on the 11th. They will allow us on the 25th though

Each option has advantages over the other, mainly being option 1 is cheaper and easier on the cars, but option 2 has more track time and includes winton instead of DECA

Option one: PI and DECA

Friday the 11th april; Meet at the usual spot and cruise down to shepparton, get drunk

Sat the 12th april; compete at DECA (wrx club version, not SAU), then drive to PI (its like driving from syd to wakie), dinner, get drunk

Sun the 13th April; PI open day

Mon the 14th April; leave and drive home

option two; Winton and PI

Thursday 24th April; Meet at the spot and drive to Winton, get drunk, sleep

Friday 25th April; Winton open day, afterwards drive to PI

Saturday 26th April; PI day one (open practice)

Sunday 27th April; PI day 2 (sprints)

Monday 28th april; drive home

Now there is one further option, meet friday the 12th at the spot, drive down, saturday DECA, sunday come home, but as we've done that a few times i think it would be nice to have the extra thing to add to that trip

For those of you who know the sauvic guys they will most likely be at the track with us if we do option 2 (as they're all track whores)

On the last deca trip a few people (who will remain nameless) made the trip "not as good as it could be" for others, so a friendly and positive attitude is a must

So please have your say, then ill make the arrangements so it can happen

ONLY POST UP IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT ATTENDING

Steve,

Option 2 would be in the Anzac weekend so being a long weekend the freeways etc might get a bit busy?

I am keen as, however April is a busy month for me with work.

Guys - for those who havent done a road trip for a motorsport event, I say you gotta do it!!!

the Vic guys are really friendly and it is a nice cruise drive down.

[Sl!m]

I would attend some thing depending on work

Lions club will be there again, and so will the merchandise stand. We need 6 people to help with registrations and organising cars for the show and shine. Cars must be parked by 11am. This event will go until 4pm.

Saturday night is your to do what you want, same as last year (ie Drunk as skunks!)

Stevo, you know i'm keen for timing a DECA in one of my trips back over, unfortunately April will prob be too early for my first trip, any ideas on when the next one is? Augustish?? I'd definately be in on something then...

[supadan]

[evil_weevil]

DECA is an event in Sheperton in VIC.

SAUVIC hold it 4 times a year (I've won it twice for the NSW team!)

Its a motokhana/autocross style event and is cheap motorsport.

Besides your car....

tyres if you have dedicated tyres for competing

tools

money

beer

etc

Id really love to do DECA again, I just cannot get time off - I do though, reccomend it to ANYONE here.

Not 4 times anymore, more like 2 per year

[evil_weevil]

mind you though if you win it for NSW twice in a row, you are the champion of the universe!!

(like me!!!)

Honestly - it is a long weekend with all the driving....but what you get upto and the racing etc - it is awesome!!!

The SAUVIC guys treat you like family!!! I just wish I could get the time off

[evil_weevil]

Steve,

My car is quite efficient and is around 10l per 100!

when giving it a bootfull - anyone goes through fuel!!

4 tanks was an exageration! but yeah, thats the most of the money!
