Sandown - Sun 28 June

[ssxRicho]

im in, forms have gone off.

[shepo]

Its looking like the trusty ol' GTR isnt going to be up for it this time round...

so im thinking of offering my services as a driver trainer, ive not had any "full on" competition experience, but ive been frequently attending track days for a few years now and i think i would have a fair bit to offer for anyone starting out.

i know at the last day they were putting out the call for anyone who wants to help out with DT, so here i am.

can anyone advise me as to what i should do?

cheers.

[flyingfridge]

not up to it?

Faxed and paid, GT-R is actually running right for the first time in a while, no misfires, no boost drop off and fresh front brake discs, might actually get a decent Sandown run, touch wood. Now to pray for no rain....

[SS8_Gohan]

how are the spots looking? got a new clutch going in next thursday, plus a few other things being looked over. Just not game enough to pay up yet just in case any gremlins pop-up when fixing the car.

[shepo]

yeah its no good sam,

i cant afford semi slicks at the moment, and i just cant run on the streeters any more. You saw how munted they were after just the one session i got in last time, blisters galore! now the suspension and wheel alignment is bangin', the poor old federal's just cant keep up!

hopefully next time, im still keen to hit winton with ya one day!

- so does anyone have any suggestions about this driver training?

[flyingfridge]

I got my winton entry form in the mail just the other day, i was going to send u a copy but it's the week after sandown....

I think the next one is two weeks before the Calder Park round in early september...

[Russman]

Yeah and SAU and WRX club are at winton 18th July as well.

I thought semis were for girls Shepo?

Contact WRX club about the driver training. Not sure who.

[shepo]

Semi's are for girls Russ, that is at least until i can afford a set, then that will change...

i might put a post in the rexy forum to get the low down on DT.

Entry List now up - http://www.wrx.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=57498

[SS8_Gohan]

is there a 'critical mass' to be reached before this goes ahead? or will it go ahead regardless? looking like a lot of track time for those involved at the moment

[Bec]

Absolutely no idea - that'll be the Rex Club's call

Just to note though - if anyone is considering entering and hasnt done so yet, Id get your entries in ASAP to give the WRX Club a better idea of numbers for the day or they may very well cancel it

Im assuming there are lots of people holding off till the last minute for whatever reason

[SS8_Gohan]

i take it money is refunded if the day is cancelled?

[Z1LLA]

I am very keen on entering, however just waiting for the car to come out of the workshop, getting tuned in the next few days so everything should be good to go I hope.

I guess I can always enter then cancel/get a refund if its not ready?

[SS8_Gohan]

from the wrx forum

"I am confident the event will go ahead regardless so we wont need to refund!!

If for some reason any of our events are cancelled then there would be a complete refund yes.

Cheers"

[phunky_monkey]

It says on the rex forums that it will go ahead regardless of numbers.

Thebuzz: Yes, if you pull out prior to a certain date, listed in the supp regs or entry form.

[Z1LLA]

Thanks phunky monkey, should have read it closer

Car got tuned today, should hopefully have it back later this week so forms will go off then.

[Russman]

I'm still keen to do this as long as I don't break anything at drift this sat. I want a 26!

[omega36]

Is it cool to come down and watch?

[Russman]

Is it cool to come down and watch?

Yeah man. at the gate tell em that you're there to watch the WRX/SAU track day and they'll let you in.

I'm out now though. Car is all smashed up!

[Roy]

Ao fark! What do you mean all smashed up?
