Newcastle To Superlap Via Putty Rd Cruise

[NZM.031]

hey guys...

after the catastrophe that was our newy meet up, bakes and i thought of doing another putty cruise.. so heres an idea.

Superlap is on March 29.. should be some awesome cars there this year after the success of the event last year.

its at oran park... which from newy, on good freeway run is around 3.5hrs.. which is the same time its takes via the putty.. and its much more fun. i have left oran park at 3.30 and made it home to newcastle by 6.30... obeying the road rules.

it would mean leaving newi early... say 6ish, from hexham maccas.. up the highway to Branxton, turn off and head to Broke, and then get on the putty from there.

its a straight run to oran park from there... very few turn offs.. and very little traffic.

maybe we could get a group pass/discount type of thing to the event.

its 68 days to the event, so plenty of time to get this organised..

ive done early morning putty runs and it is spectacular... with the sun just coming up and shining through the trees, low clouds sleeping in, birds waking up, and very little traffic... its almost magical, and well worth getting up for. add to that, the sound of a group a skylines and it will be a cruise you will want to do every year.

lets keep it strictly skylines.. and if your from central coast or north.. its up to you if you want join in.

lets get some ideas rolling and get this settled and moved to the events section

cheers

what time you planning on getting to broke / putty turn off ?

i'll do the putty drive with ya but cant do the superlap - still running the girl in from her fresh rebuild.

[NZM.031]

im not sure as there wasnt a great deal of interest when i first posted this, but its getting close and im still keen.

this isnt for superlap contenders... this just an idea for an early morning cruise, down the putty, to watch some of our mates racing around... the earlier we leave, the more we get to watch, and get to pick what time we wish to cruise home.. rather than leaving at say 10 or 11am and getting there at 1pm or 2pm, we will leave at 6, 7, or 8am and get there at 9, 10, or 11am... watch it for a bit, then leave at 3ish and be home in newy by 6ish.

i meant to ring the organisers and find out how much it is for spectator entry.. but ive been lazy.

cheers

and why dont you have the gtr anymore dave??? huh?? huh?? yeh.. you just... yeh you know...

[Spaz13]

[d-d]

and why dont you have the gtr anymore dave??? huh?? huh?? yeh.. you just... yeh you know...

I like being able to cart stuff around in the ute

The gtr couldnt be used as a massive esky for parties either!! Hehe

[NZM.031]

the way my 32 is at the moment dave, i may just need a tow vehicle.... spose your ute could do that... haha.

heres a quick map

as you can imagine, the time would be significantly improved as google would be taking it at signposted speeds.. plus if we leave early.. there will be bugger all traffic.

might be time to move this to the events section
