Location is not too far away, within 15-20 mins drive from Melbourne CBD, as we will normally do this on Saturday or Sunday.

For public liability insurance purpose, exact location will only be disclosed to paying members as no spectators are allowed. If a bunch of ppl hanging around the place to try to see what's happening, soon or later we will be denied usage to the facility. So this is for everyone's sake.

Thank you.

come to think of it can i take my front bar off when i get there?

[rs73]

inark,

the instructor will sit with you in the car, if you listen to what he said you'll be fine....

the only thing that can go wrong is people try to be hero when they start to get into trouble e.g. spinning out, instead of hitting the brakes they try to save the day by trying too hard.. ending up understeering all the way to the bank

[inark]

but still... its a brand new and painted bar ok will see how we go

rs 73,

you have PM.......

[rs73]

I know inark... I can understand how you feel.

I've got a type-m frontbar & sideskirts that I wanna put on my car too, as currently my car has no optional bodykit at all. Dunno if I got the chance to put it on b4 the 15th Nov, as currently my car is being looked at for a weird misfiring problem (doesn't even reach 140rwkw now ) but the engine should b ready by Nov.

Good thing is the factory bar is not that low. Depending what bar you have, you DO wanna stay away from getting too close to the edge. But don't worry, the instructor will take care of you. You won't be going too fast as well, maybe 30-40km/h in 2nd gear...

Anthony, I've replied your pm....

Ni, is your bar lower than Gordo's? As he only clipped the edge. Gordo was the only person to come close/hit the edge, during the whole day. Really there is alot off room, but i can not see why Kev would object to you taking off your bar. He may just ask you to put the intrusion bar back on (just unclips off the plastic bar, with the 33's).

[inark]

i dunno... i measured it and its 12cm appx off the ground.

meh should be ok... i aint going to be trying to drift around the skid pan @ 140kmh

[rs73]

Scott (Cam's Friend) has been added to the list.

Anthony, I've put you in as well...

We now have 12 people (2 groups).. keep watching this space as I will update with further info...

[inark]

put me down for saturday!!

[rs73]

No worries inark...

I think about time ppl put down either Saturday or Sunday:

[inark]

rianto bro send me the details so i can xfer the deposit.

[rs73]

Ni, I'll post these details to everyone listed here asap :-)

Cam, if you read this, I'd suppose you and your three friends wanna stay together - in Sunday group?

If that's ok let me know....

[ApacheX]

no more places?

[sKyLyN]

well it looks like ive missed out. If there are any changes of mind, i can make 2 places up.

[rs73]

I can squeeze 7 people max in a group, but we all have to start 1 hour earlier, like 12pm to 5pm instead of 1pm to 5pm.

If that is ok for everyone.... so a maximum of 2 more places available for these two groups...

Otherwise, since ApacheX and skylyn (2) are interested,

if you guys found another 3 people, how about make it the next weekend, or any day if you guys can get off work or holiday from uni?

Or maybe even the saturday morning or sunday morning...

so one of the day will be running two sessions... Can't promise you anything yet now but will try to organise so everyone is a winner...
