At our last SAU NSW track day at OP it was mentioned that an interstate track day would be fun.....

the usual guys expressed interest in a weekend away to race the cars on a new track. well they are all new for me but you get the idea. So just putting it out there to see how many people would be keen on a track day at say QR for example. Leave thursday morning, get home monday. or something similar....Philip Island....

Would be good to cruize up with a dozen people as trip aways are always good and race somwhere different.

Hoping our interstate friends would be happy to have us also.

looking in the new year sometime.

In (of course).

Actually I'm heading down to vic for 3 events in 4 weeks (supercar support race@PI, national supersprint @PI and Mt Buller sprint).

So I'd be looking to qld next personally - maybe take a day or 3 off and do QLD raceway and Morgan Park.

Also need to get to Haunted Hills hillclimb (vic) and Mt cotton (qld) sometime too.

And the street sprints they run in qld eg Gatton.

And I still haven't been around sandown, winton, mallala, air, barbagello or hidden valley

Lots to do :)

i was thinking late jan, early feb.......we will have to look if there are any major motorsporting events on around then, as would not want to do it on same weekend as say F1 (superlap) dumb.

Ben from Qld, are you able to see how those dates might fit in for QR.....

Anywone from Vic who could do the same would be excellent.

Sorry aggroman, i cant wait 4 to 5 months......want trip away with beer cars and strippers sooner rather than latr.

With enough noticed, 4 to 5 months into next year ill definitely be going wherever, QLD or VIC.

Late Jan - early Feb is generally when it all starts up again here in QLD, but i doubt we'll have a calendar until about December. Expect mid 30s at QR at that time of year.

After hearing the local Sydney crowd complain about Eastern Creek being a boring horsepower track, I doubt QR will win any fans! lol The full National circuit is not really used for sprints either. Saturday Sprints only use the dead boring Sprint track. Wednesday Afternoon Sprints use Sprint and Clubman tracks, and there are far fewer cars. Clubman is a much better layout than Sprint. If you want to run on the National Circuit, Mountainrunner's TimeAttack days would be the only real chance other than untimed general practice.

Morgan Park is hard to get into events. Warwick & Districts Sporting Car Club who own the track, run the QLD Supersprint Series there, but you have to be registered for the series to get in. There are SFA other track days there. Best bet with SAU NSW being CAMS afiliated might be to hire the track & timing equipment for your own day. I'm sure a few QLDers would join in to make up numbers. I would for one.

You'd be mad to come up and not do Lakeside! There are noise restrictions though.

Yeah mate will definately check for you. As harry said there is nothing carved in stone for dates yet. Will definately keep an eye on things and let you know the calender for early next year soon.

cheers

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
