Texi Wrap Up Thread

[N1GTR]

Now THIS is what I'm talkin about! Where is Sutton Road and where do I get more info?! Brakes will defo be on by then!!

Whose car is that in the vid above Stevo?

I'll be putting up two threads for this asap. One is entry thread with forms and list of who's in, second will be info on the location and pics and vids from past trips there.

It's just on this side of Canberra, so we all go down the night before and go to a pub thats walkable from the caravan park/motel place we stay at. You can figure how that night ends for yourself. Bring the boss with you if you want, make a weekend out of it and stay the night after the event then go home the next day.

That video is an old club member who moved interstate, from memory it's a stock turbo on high boost, otherwise stockish R34GTT. Those days a high 300kw car was rare. I think he had something like 200rwkw, so yeah the GTR's with built engines and aftermarket turbos will really enjoy this place. It's just like an old pac/nasho drive but legal to go over 60 and no one ever coming the other way

Trust me, you (and anyone else really) will love this place. I am SO excited to be going there again

[N1GTR]

Sounds like it in every gear.

We could only hear it as it was leaving the gate and close to us - its not too loud, we couldnt hear it by the time you were at the first cone in each course?!

[XKLABA]

lol, descriptive!

It's true though, the best thing about Michael is that you only have to ask him once if he'd like to test a course for me early in the morning to see if it's fun or needs changing, or rip a heli. He always answers with a yes and a smile, the man just loves giving that car a hard time haha!

Michael was kind enough to take two of my mates (new to SAUNSW, one just bought a 260RS and the other is into BMW's) out for runs and well - they're both entering next time. Thanks again Michael

your welcome mate , any excuse to do a bit 4wd sliding , I always say " drive it like you stole it, service it like you love it " and after this one it's going to need some TLC before the next one. bring on sutton road, hopefully I'll have the 34 done for that one.

GTR JOEY, hahaha yeah proble not, this car is a freak it just doesn't stop and given I rebuilt the motor in my garden shed i'm suprised it's still going given what I give it

ball park cost? im already big kev excited for this one

[N1GTR]

Im working on that currently actually so cant say for now sorry! Wont be long and I'll have it figured out. It will be very typical of SAUNSW event's I've done in the past; loads of seat time for not much coin

[BunsenBurna]

standing by!

[XKLABA]

you can pretty much count me in for sutton to, even if I have to drive the Rodeo

[hamiltonau]

wow great photo man, thanks for that! loved how grippy the surface was, meant you could really put the foot in and have a bit of fun

Wow man so many killer shots in your album, can't believe so many people bothered taking photos of me - I expected to be a bit of an outcast in my beat up 180 but really did feel welcomed by everyone

no worries, was my mates Pa taking them, is a bit of an amateur hobbyist with the camera, the ones taken around the car park were probably mine in between runs. Loved your 180 man, it wasnt pretty standing still but as soon as it got out there everyone turned their head and knew they were in for a show!

Slowly putting some pics up here. http://mrowston.500p...au_texi_12_2_12 Should have most up by tomorrow night. PM if you want any full sized original images

Cheers

nice, keep the pics coming people!

Another one on July 15th - Calendar marked?

mine is!

also this sutton thing, being doing track days for 7 plus years now, how have i never got the chance to go out there?! May cant come soon enough!

[ianjb]

Back on topic.

Will sort out all the good ones and get high res versions hosted in the next day or 2.

(should probably also do the last texi photo's as well.....)

[RANDY]

One of the officials took a nice shot of my Black R33 S2 (#23) with piles of smoke.. he was practising his photography... whoever that was, please hook me up with that picture? It would be much appreciated. (especially now because it seems of all the black gtst's there, there were barely any pics of my car)

Oh and to my buddy in #26, PM me for video please? ;o)

[Dirt]

are skids allowed at Sutton Rd Steve?

and more importantly, ext gate?

[Chich.]

Did anyone happen to get my super awesome tyre explosion that destroyed my quarters + drift hd camera on film/photo?? i want to see that from outside so badly.. hahaha

[N1GTR]

Sutton Road is different, it's for times instead of smoke haha. So no, we arent allowed intentional drifting. Ext gate not allowed there either.

Their rules, not mine. They've had issues with noise complaints and cant afford to have any more - which is totally understandable.

[best guy]

^^ such a shame, some of those bends look like they'd be amazing to drift

[Chich.]

^^agreed, elevation changes and shit also...

[N1GTR]

Oh yeah agreed - believe me if I could let you guys all loose there, I would!

In the past ARC rallies were even held there - epic, epic facility.
