Aaaaaaaand here we go again.

Event: Texikhana

Date: Sunday 14th of September **This has changed since the original NSW thread was posted.**

Cost: $100 per member, $115 per non member. Cars can be double entered with 2 drivers.

You will also need a CAMS or AASA licence. AASA licences cost $50 on the day, last for a year and can be used at Wakefield. Direct deposit or Paypal/Credit Card accepted.

Venue: Sutton Road Driver Training Centre, Canberra

Format: Part 1; Sutton Road have a back track which is shaped like a racetrack but is more like the Old Pacific Hwy or National Park Road. We use cones set up as gates to keep the speeds down and things safe.

Part 2; We will be using the wet skid pan again as Sutton Road are being harsh on our use of the big dry one. We will have several different layouts on the skid pan to make it challenging. It's more difficult than it looks and great fun.

Restrictions: Street registered cars only with proper exhausts. That means no straight through pipes or screamers.

What should you bring: A roadworthy car not leaking anything, a helmet for the back track, long sleeves and pants, covered shoes, sunscreen, a hat and most importantly, a good attitude.

Plan of attack: Most people will go down the night before and stay at Eaglehawk Holiday Park. We will start a separate thread for this. There is a pub next door and everyone will go there for dinner and drinks. Next morning we get up early and get to the venue. Cars are scruitineered then we have a driver's briefing. After this we split into two groups sending one to the skid pan and one to the back track. After Group 1 gets two runs each of the back track the groups swap and repeat. Lunch then repeat the morning with a different course on the skid pan. We usually run two courses in both directions on the skid pan.

I'm a sad panda....

Surely thats not right. A car could have a full exhaust and be louder then a car with a screamer

Id like to think so, its getting pretty close. My veins are itching something wicked!!!! Iv missed so many Wakefield days that mates attended.

It prolly wouldn't be registered then though, so gate wouldn't be plumbed back. We'll see I guess :thumbsup:

Both Miranda and I are now in and payed.

Come on Canberra, we can't let the Welshmen beat us on our own turf...

Im sorry that I cant represent this time... The 32 is still in pieces.

I would love to come though, seeing as I put down faster times than all but one NSW entrant at the last Texi (3rd overall - Damn you Reece) :banana:
