Wakefield Park Track Day 16/9/03- all welcome (organised by OZ GTI-R Owners Club)

[Duncan]

you've gotta drift a long way to hit the wall at wakefield...

....and sounds like we might have some special cheater tyres for the next EC day....

[Beer Baron]

Yeah it was a great day. Sorry for the people I didn't introduce myself too. I missed you fatz. Unfortunately early in the afternoon my oil feed to my turbo cracked So I had to hire a trailer, and a ute to tow it, plus I then had to go back to Goulburn to return them - total cost $400!!! bastards.

Anyway, I'll be back.

Speaking of pics. Does anyone have any pics of me? I know that I saw a couple of people taking shots when I was coming down the straight. Anyone? My friend Justin was taking some, but half the time he got the wrong GTI-R, and he only had a 1 megapixel camera BTW, mine was the black GTI-R with no plates front or back, driver with a blue helmet.

And yeah, it could have been worse but it sucks not being able to drive your car home, and until I fix it I have no way to get around. doh!

hey boys, awesome day out!!

the damage isnt too bad, plus its a good excuse to get my vertex front bar that ive wanted for a while... its just the bumper and the front drivers guard thats damaged, no structual or mechanical damage....

the TVR is fine.. it was overheating, so after it visited the middle of the gravel trap, we threw it back on the trailer...

fatz, i didnt come off the throttle caus i thought i could hold the drift (that was before it snapped back on me that hard)... get any pics of it???

lol, "hold the drift", that's what i figured, you've really got to be keeping it going to get all the way down to the pit wall !

Good to hear it won't be too expensive:)

[LISTEN 180SX]

yah... i had it goin pretty good (well, except for the part where i hit the wall.....lol)

its all fun tho - go hard or go home!

[Beer Baron]

Now that all the adrenalin has faded, I'd like to say thanks to all the SAU members who cam and supported our trackday. You'll all be invited back next time
