Yeah first year I did the turn off early as following another car.

Last year I took HH rd and much easier.

Weather looking better by the day, should be a great day.

guess 60.77 is all i need to beat?

ha ha ha

LOL Ash...actually for a GTR you will have to beat 56.36 for the normal run and 63.64 for the Fig8

...and the gtr kept going after i turned...

John I thint that was me - not the first time there but a bit of a brain fade

I notice from the entry list that Danny T and gone back to a Rex....I know the Emo was giving him troubles but anyone know why?

[ssxRicho]

Yeh i noticed that as well. May have just been a peer pressure thing, lol.

Weather looks spot on.

[emts]

I thought he was just in the process of reshelling the old drive train last year anyhow.

From the paper today:

Last night authorities closed the Princes Freeway south of Morwell, about 150km east of Melbourne, after heavy rain sparked fears of a landslip close to the nearby Hazelwood coal mine.

I hope none of this rain has had an impact at HHills....will be interesting to hear about your experiences this weekend.

From vic roads: might be leaving a little early

Friday 11 February

12.00pm

Princes Freeway (Morwell Bypass), Morwell - Freeway closed in both directions at the Morwell exits due to the impact of recent rainfall and potential landslip.

Victoria Police and VicRoads have closed the Princes Freeway at Morwell in both directions.

East and westbound traffic is being diverted through the township of Morwell, via Princes Drive (Old Princes Highway). Most heavy vehicles (excluding Over Dimensional Vehicles) can use this diversion route.

View map of the diversion route

Motorists wishing to travel towards Melbourne from Morwell cannot access the Freeway from the following entry ramps:

* Tramway Road

* Monash Way

* Miners Way

The Strzelecki Highway entry ramp is also closed.

VicRoads advises drivers to expect delays and allow extra time to complete their journey.

Call the VicRoads Traffic Management Centre on 13 11 70 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) if you require further assistance.

The morwell bypass is basically built on the open cut mine, so that doesn't surprise me.

Shouldn't impact us, unless as Ant says, there is no HH anymore and its all slid away as well.

[emts]

hoping that early in morning then we ok but traffic could be crappy

[ripps]

dont need to worry about the highway being because its before it that if ya coming from melbourne. The track is fine and not affected and no where near where the road is falling away

[MacGillaZ]

Great Day everybody, not too much carnage and hopefully lots of PBs for people

[emts]

Even if I was unhappy with my times I was happy with the day.

For those of you who were there today and Paid members can you let me knwo what class you are in for the championship to save me chasing you up.

Usual Motosport day really

Froze in the more and I'm now burnt, oh well.

and the 8 car convoy home was kinda fun.

Sorting pics now!

[ssxRicho]

Good to see some different cars out an about!

Was a great day, damn hate the place still.

[R31Nismoid]

Top day.

from 69.7 or so down to 64.8 i think...

Not super fast, but after a big off on my 2nd run, was a bit cautious.

driving a GTR is very different to my 31, good day, and much needed seat time.

Thanks to Dave in the rx7 for the loan of the pump, let a bit too much air out and hence big brown undiesoff

[Sandeep]

had a great time, thanks to all who organised this. ended up with a 64.60 which is 4 or 5 secs better than i did last year and the car is the same so was pretty happy with that. still alot more to learn about that track, i kept trying new things every run and still not sure where i should be on the track in some places. getting Mark in the 944 to be a passenger was very helpful, took about 1 sec off my time straight after that.

martin, i am in standard rwd but i think there should be an NA class

[emts]

Pics..(remember to say thanks to katie)

Ash there a nice sequence for you there..
