Wakefield Park 300

[Risking]

A few of us tried to get a team put together last year for this event but after many broken cars and other hassles it didnt happen.

Im planning to enter again this year now we have a GTR thats reliable and can go the distance.

So who has a car thats prepared, racable and should go the distance??

I can get 6 cars with ease but would like to try and get a group of skylines together instead of a mixed bag to begin with.

Im prepared to let my car do a triple session, if we cant get the drivers/cars. Myself and Jay will be driving the GTR and may open it up to someone else if need be.

We're not really after ball tearing cars that can lap faster than anyone else. We'd like reliable consistant cars with drivers that can handle a 20min session and be consistant.

Thats what it takes to win the event not outright pace.....

Dont want to leave this till last minute like we did last year

So if anyone is interested say so.

[Jetwreck]

Whats the date?....any rules with tyre/car ect?

Might put this on the table for the R31 if it works with our schedule.

and what the slowest times you can run and license requirements

[timsr33]

depending on the rules and the date i might have a car ready

[Duncan]

you know all too well any expression of interest from me is not set in concrete........but I will be in if I have a running car and no date crash.

Is it still late Jan?

[fatz]

yea will be in

[Risking]

Late november from memory mate.

Your one of the guys id let steer the GTR if yours was not in a good way so if your keen we can work around the car issue closer to the date.

I know my GTR could do atleast half the race without a problem besides tires.

As for times I think anything that can lap around the 10's for 20 mins solid is good enough. The key to these events is consistantcy. So no use showing up if you can spit out a 5 and then not maintain it for 20mins and behond.

Cars require a AASA log book which is piss poor. and a cage.

[Duncan]

yeah my car will be fine to run 1.10s for 20min. Or an hour if need be. cant go better than an 8 in qualifing but I don't think that wil be an issue

would be great to see an sau team in.

only thing for me is timing is a bit iffy, I am booked for mt buller 1st weekend dec so hopefully this isnt the weekend before (then again they are both aasa so at least i can get a good run on proper boost

pete...it would be a hell of a first race for your car. pretty tight to finish it by then realistically tho

[Duncan]

300 is about 130 laps right? pretty sure the 500 I did was about 200 laps. So about 2.5 hours

[Risking]

Yep your on the money Duncan.

I agree an hour should be no problem at all but if we can get enough entrants it brings the entry fee down and the potential for damage down as well.

I know my car can do 6's for 20mins solid. Its consistant within 1/2 second depending on traffic and my concertration. So I figured if I knock it down a peg and run around in the 10's all day it should be perfectly healthy should any other cars have to drop out.

So Pete, myself, jay and possibly Duncan are looking good.

[Kel]

sounds like good fun

my best at wakie is a 1:11 in a close to shtocker r33 gts-t (semis helped- i have more excuses if needed )

havent done a lap in anger in something quick in some time

but i am consistent - interesting in running if there is a spot for slowish but consistent?

[Risking]

Kel's in so now we got a team!

we nominate a lap time for each driver so it doesnt matter if the cars are all of a different pace.

It works along the same lines as the eastern creek 6 hour. they calculate how many theoretical laps the team should be able to do. but if you drop under your nominated lap time that lap does not get added to the lap count. Pretty sure thats how they still work it.

Im happy to help out in the pits if you need a hand Brad

[evil_weevil]

Might be with a few mx5ers

[BOZ22N]

mmmmmmm i am no were near 10s mate but i have not driven on proper semis there yet, i did run a few 1.11's on RT615's last trip down there. I don't know how i will go for 20 mins tho but i will put my self down for a slow maybe option if i can get the car down there before hand and see how is it going after it has been apart.

But i am willing to lend a hand closer to the date with towing and prep work if needed mate.

[evil_weevil]

Tow mx5 k thnx!

But Id have to confirm closer to date

[fatz]

yea nvember is a bit close for me i think

still have to organise a cage

fark

[Risking]

Cages are the easy part

[BOZ22N]

Tow mx5 k thnx!

But Id have to confirm closer to date

No worries little buddy

[BezerkR32]

i think someone who can steer could get my car down into the 10s, it would be nice to get some feedback from someone with experience also. if your short a car let me know Duncan, ill have to re-mount seat for you but was going to do that anyway.

Just have to organise logbook.

300 is about 130 laps right? pretty sure the 500 I did was about 200 laps. So about 2.5 hours
