Entered :blink:

Zaver: Driver training is conducted on track within their own group. You can drive your car, or have an instructor from the club drive the car and show you what lines to take and how to get around the track safely. It isn't timed as far as I'm aware, but I could be wrong.

So what do u suggest i go for Driver training or the normal thing?? I just want a the maximum track time.. So i can get better.. Is there only a certain period for driver training or is it full day like the others??

Well my entry is in.

and Remember Folks this is the last round of the Club championship this year, so if you were thinking of coming out to play now is your last chance!

Zaver, there are usually 5-6 groups during the day that take it in turns on the track, (to keep numbers at a managble level.) and cars are groups roughly by speed. plus one for Driver training. (this usually has the last number in it so less ppl on the track)

so DT gets the same amount of track time as all the other cars. plus cost less!

these days are run nothing like the drift days. we have a passenger session if there is time, otherwise it is just you and your instructor if you go for DT.

IF you are a bit unsure and want to get some pointers the DT is the way to go. your instructor can give you the basics you need like technique and lines and if you feel up to it and your instructor is on the same page most people usually end up going out on their own later in the day.

Ill be there, i think. unfinished business.

If you enter as a DT you will be allocated an instructer by the WRX club. This is your passenger for the day.

You can't just take anyone out with you.

The idea being that it is Driver TRAINING, so you will have an instructor to give you a few pointers and help you get a feel for circuit sprints...

As said before, there are often passenger sessions during the day that your friends can jump in your car for maybe one or two sessions..

Other than that it is only you in the car.... (Or you and instructor if you do DT)

I''ll get to the form shortly but count me in for this.

Provided I don't bin the car on Monday.

EDIT: Forgot to ask, do we need a cage to take a passenger at these days?

Without a doubt

Don't get caught on the street with that de-cat pipe. They are illegal and being an emissions related offense will carry a heavy fine.

Swap it on at that the track. There will be more than enough jacks and tools if you don't have your own :)

This passes:

It all depends on frequencies though, as some cars with a very deep exhaust note get pinged.

But yeah, 95DB at 30m is quite loud. I'm not sure if it is 95db though, as right next to it it says 75db... but the last Winton was 95.

Yeah of course. I've heard it's some ridiculous fine for not have a cat. I might actually need help, I have a jack and stands but it cant lift the car high enough (with the bloody kit on it) to get under there.

Although this stupid front bar will be definitely be gone by then. Whether or not it's yellow or black still is another story.

Alright, you've convinced me. I'm in.

Driver Training and Novice class right?

Drive your car up onto two bits of wood or something first then you can put something on top of the jack to give you the extra height you need, also, be sure it's on stands to work on it.

Don't stress, with all the people there, we'll find a way to swap it out. Or if you're staying down there just do it at the hotel/caravan park etc and drive it to winton from there.

Oh man. I tried that once, the big nasty crack on the left hand side of the front bar is from me misjudging and rolling the car off the blocks and the blocks then catching the car by the bar itself.

I'm not fussed to be honest, I doubt it'll make a huge difference on my NA beast, but it'd be fun to make those fireballs :)

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
