See you all bright and early on Saturday morning Guys.

Dont forget to pump up your tyres BEFORE you arrive at the circuit, better to do them on Friday night.

Also make sure you arrive on time, no late night on Friday !

and just so it is perfectly clear...

NO SPECTATORS ARE ALLOWED AT THIS DRIVING COURSE

Hey guys, I'll be down there the entire day taking photos of the events too.

I'll be offereing CD's of your car throughout the day, all shots of your car only that i take during the day will be included on the CD. it will be $40.

Or if you just want that 1 sweet shot of your car sideways i will be able to offer prints to be sent to you a little bit after the day (because i will need to do the printing) for $20 for an A4 size photo.

You will be able to see all the shots i have because i will setup toward the end of the day with a few laptops displaying imgages.

[Italiazr1]

So does that mean that driver dynamics are allowing you to take photos?

will there be video's too??

i will buy one for sure but im not sure if i will have any money on the day. my stupid boss hasn't paid me yet...

any way i can order one and pay next week?

I Cant wait For Saturday ive changed my tyres to real crap ones with hardly any tread so they will spin like no tomorrow.

I was so happy about it after i changed them that i did a nice Snakey down the street in the dry...... oops!

i didnt think they would spin that easy?

but now im worried that i might chew them up completely on the day cause they really have low tread

what do you guys think?

[R32Big_boy]

Yeah, Kev has allowed me to come down on the day.

We can sort something out on the day no probs!

Would have been better if you kept the good tyres on.

The track is going to be wet, so your tyres are going to spin easily anyway.

Due to the wet surface you are not going to chew as much rubber as you would in the dry.

The car is easier to control with good tyres all round.

Having said that i have really good tyres at the front (T1Rs) and ok ones at the back (Hankook), but this is what i had on the car, will be getting T1Rs at the rears soon, before the next SAU cruise .

PS: Have not washed my car since Autosalon '08, but last weekend i did give it a spray over at the carwash. The track is going to be wet so all the shit on the track will get your car dirty in no time.

I'm out. Car is now running lean...cant get dyno until tonight...have been royally f**ked around all week, leaving me 1/2 day to try and get it sorted...which is simply not long enough

[Adz]

I would recomend small wheels if you have them and tyres with good tred.

Chineese cheepos tyres ftw but as Al mentioned even if you have good tyres on they will not wear badly as it will be wet.

Tyres with no tred is potentionaly going to end your day quickly and waste your money. I would describe no tred as being on the indicator ie 3mm tred left.

As I said 3mm may get you through but is an unnessary risk.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

why the small wheels?

[Italiazr1]

yeah i hear ya bit lat now my rears are on the indicators so if i pop one bad luck for me but at least it will make a good photo....

reason i changed is cause the one i had on are fairly good and i didnt wanna wreck em so i put them on the front.. it will help me steer better anyway

[DESS1E]

So are people saying I should change my 17 to the factory 16 ??? bothhave good thred

[Aaron32]

40 psi + wet track should be fine with any wheel/tyre size..

[Excess]
