I would have loved to go but I can't make this day but let me know if anyone has any questions.

Pfft just go lizzeh!

Just wondering if we are allowed passengers? I doubt it but I thought id ask..

I might go ahead and do this with a mate for shits and giggles.. I assume this is going to be busy as hell?

[Liz]

definitely no passengers, mate

I haven't been to one of these days in a few years... but I imagine they'd still be pretty busy! they're quite good in terms of the number of cars on the track at any one time.

If I were you, I'd go turn up about lunchtime as a fair few people either break down or pack up before the end of the day!

unfortunately, I've been taking a little too much time off work lately to take another day!!

[benm]

Is their timing for these days? Just curious how many cars normally attend...

[Liz]

nah, no timing... it's just an open day like wakie

but i believe they're a bit better about limiting the number of cars on the track at any one time. I don't even know anyone who's done one of these in the last year to be able to judge. I'll ask them when I call up to confirm the day if you like.

is timing optional??

can i pay a bit extra and get timing or is that not possible.

[Liz]

yeah mate, you can bring your own timing equipment

[Demon]

I did one last month and looking to get out to this one also, so have listed some points below

1) No passengers allowed

2) no timing but can setup your own timing equipment

3) the 28th May has three sessions: cars, ls2, bikes. LS2 (most of us) start at about 9:20am and sessions are for 20 mins.

4) Lunch break for an hour somewhere between 12:00 - 1:30pm

5) costs as mentioned by Liz. Can get a garage for an extra $25

6) gets pretty busy but this one might be quiet seeing it's straight after Superlap, but who knows?

7) I haven't seen a car limit per session yet. There was almost 40 cars in one LS2 session last time I was there!!

8) Some drivers are aggressive (yes even in LS2) so be careful.

Checkout the link recorded by someone on NS forum. The white s13 with the black rear wing at the start of the clip is mine!!!!

nice but too bad something on already

[loco_180]

So you have to bring your own timers. where do you get them from??

Can't you just hire theirs at a price??

[evil_weevil]

nah you'll have to Buy your own, you cant hire their's as they use dorian timers which means they need to hire staff for timing in the control tower! 9i.e. similar to a state round etc)

ebay has a few for sale, cheaper ones like the motorbike lap timers work well too!

I wont make it as I doubt my car will be ready

Being that im a contractor and cant just 'take a sickie' the above is what worries me most as I dont want to lose a days pay just to find im held up or watching my mirrors the entire day because 30 other idiots are on the track.

yeah, fair enough... It does tend to get a lot quieter after lunch though as most ppl tend to do the morning sessions and then start packing up to leave around lunch time

[fatz]

might swing out

[scathing]

If my car's been serviced, I'd love to have another shot at the Creek.

[Rock&Roll]

Oh I'd love to give the creek a run. I have my LS2, but I also picked up a ABS leak. ahhhh! ATM it's using brake fluid like petrol.

If i can get it fixed by friday, I'll be there.

If any of you guys end up going out, make sure to say hi...I'll probably hire a garage so u'll see the white s13 parked in one of them in between sessions
