Hi All,

I know this one appears in the 2010 events list but I thought i'd put a thread up to remind everyone.

Cost os $125 or $95 for ADRC members. Must have an L2S licence or above. Gates open at 7, track opens at 9am and closes at 5pm.

To ensure quick sign on, fill out the form in this link and bring it with you. - http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.com/pdf/I..._Disclaimer.pdf

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

Liz.

This is held by Eastern Creek, anyone with an L2S licence can rock up on the day to go fast! Chances of it falling over are minimal, but if you are paranoid just give them a ring (9672 1000)

I should be making an appearance around 1330 :P

i think he means is it still going ahead as in, is it still an open day

they recommend you check a couple of days in advance just to make sure it hasn't been canned.

I'll call tomorrow boys.

turned out to be a excellent day.

Not so much for the car though. The front right tyre delaminated just at the end of my last session so I had to drive home with the craziest vibration ever. Lumps of rubber falling off everywhere! I thpught about throwing on the limp-home but I just crawled home. Turbo is now making a funny noise :)

Thousands. It was pretty packed. Not many 100% hotlaps which was really the only downside. One minute I was being smoked by r35gtr's the next your trying to find your way around old school escorts with grumpy drivers who won't let you pass :)

Yeah it was packed because they had Australian GT cup practice on that day for the race meetings overs the weekend. Instead of having the usual CARS, BIKES and L2S sessions, they had:

1) OPEN WHEELERS,

2) CARS (ppl who have a race licence),

3) AUS GT CARS,

4) BIKES, and then,

5) L2S.

So very few sessions. I only did two full sessions and one 5 min one due to some one coming off and I struggled with tyre temps and grip throughout all of them. It was still pretty cool though, to watch Lambo's, vipers, porsches and Corvettes going around...

FloydWest, were u in the black r33 GTS-T with a carbon/vented bonnet?

yeah that was me.

I struggled with grip too. Came off twice at turn 4 and once coming out of turn 2.

Well, I blame grip - but it's most likely my terrible driving skills.

How many sessions did u do? I only remember being on the track with you for the 2nd last session of the day (i.e. the 3:10pm one, i didn't stay for the last one).

Is your car ok? You were saying that the turbo is making weird noises now?
