brilliant day. 1st time out on a track in the GTR and i can safely say i'm going to become a track whore, and a proud one at that!

[THR34T]

+1 wicked day, saw alot of skylines there wasnt sure who was with SAU thou due to lack of SAU stickers =P i came up with a group of skyline/euro track cars

[Russman]

Yep that's a fun day haha.

So can you count the times you got passed on one hand? I think I got passed 4 times last time I was there for a fun day and one of the cars was a boswell Nagari that passed me twice!

[krzysztof]

haha.. yeah it wasn't many. in the sessions i went out in my only real battle was some olschool little one seater ford thing that probably weighed 700kg-ish.. it was bloddy quick.

[dcanna]

is this topic about the track day on the 14th of feb? winton calendar says SAU has the track that sunday, nothing is up in the calendar about it?

[emts]

Nope this was a fun day last weekend.

the 14th was a day we were looking to run but it did not pan out.

keep an eye out however as it may re appear later in the year.

was a good day i got up there in the end Chris ahah didnt not see you however? i wasn't on the track much either, a few solo runs and took a few friends out.

but from when i was on the track, where were some real asshole drivers out there...

Mainly the Black commodore race car, all the people i spoke too and all my friends there had been overtaken by him or run off the track by him. Overtaking on hairpin corners? Tsk Tsk.

I also got the piece of crap Rx7 taken off the track lol cause he just couldn't drive all over the track and refused to let me past him so me and my passenger spoke to the marshals because it was his responsibility to pull over and let us through.

All in All a great day and i will deff go back didn't see many SAU'ers spent alot of time talking with other car owners though good day

PS: Does anyone know who that r34 GTR nur spec belonged too?

Driver was a bit of a tool over taking on hair pins didn't give us a chance to get out of the way before he barreled past us, but f**k the car was quick arround corners but my mates supra held him off in a straight line lol.. and the flames coming out the back of that thing were just incredible shooting 1-2 meters at times.

I was up there with my mate nobby in the purple gtir with a chalk board bonnet , That r34 was in the garage next to us. The owner was a dick. IMO I think they should restrict the type of vehicles coming to the FUN day to street cars. There was way to many die hard cars floating around which would be massively daunting if you were a first time track driver in a slower car. Especially if you had those other idiots overtaking in corners and so on.

damn it they should have had the fun day tomorrow and the tampered day on sunday.....grrrrr heat

That thing was nuts - what was it?

Not only quick but cornered and stopped much better than anything else that day.

That white rexxy NYTIME or whatever his plates were - got black flagged after giving it heaps, was one of the better drivers there, hanging on at 9/10ths on all the corners. Was great to follow his lines and learn where to steer, brake and boot it.

Was that you filling up at the BP servo in the morning behind me?

Bozz - i think so. u had the gunmetal 32?

first session i watched just to get an idea and the way people were coming down the 2nd shorter straight into turn 3, blaring down the inside and just pushing their way through, it really put me off in particular that black race spec commonwhore. ur all right in saying there were definately some dickeheads on the track.

i also found it a little hard to 'follow the rules' and not overtake on corners, fair enought the tigher ones but the 'cleavage' i really wasn't sure if i could, sometimes it would be safe but i just didn't want to get told off by the marhsalls.

was my first time on a track and damn did i learn alot. i can't wait to go again.

Yeah, I didn't know who to say hi to either :|

There were a few tools overtaking in corners, but I found most people were great on the straight when I needed to overtake I did and people just let you past, I decided to let cars keep passing me until I got a clear run ahead then opened it up behind that WRX before my car shit itself and I pulled off

[Bozz]

Yep

That guy was driving close to perfect for a race, perhaps not a fun day - I learned heaps by trying to keep up to him and following him around the track helped me drive my car a lot better than I would have otherwise, I'm suprised the way I was heavily under brakes sometimes bringing the back out of line and on the edge of losing control as I threw it into the corners that I didn't get black flagged.

Yeah i know the guy who owns the Nur who brought it along. i think alot of people struggled to read that important paper every driver got with paying about the rules of the track.

was a few sau members there in disguise! said hey to matt (femno) was a pretty good day, nice to see only the commodores once again were overheating in the weather

That r34 guy was a real tool. He came over to me and a few to say something like "you need to up your game and push up your car a bit more, i have no competition out there on the track, my car is too fast.."

Then kept looking at me while i was getting my car ready, he even passed me towards the hair pin, slowed down to be a smart ass, then took off again (i was teaching my mum how to drive my car at the time). Was good to see him getting towed off the track later on in the day though, and he wouldnt so much as glance at me after that. Serves him right. Its a FUN day, which I guess a few didnt quite get.
