Sau Vic 2012 Motorsport Championship Round 6 - Winton 1St Sept

[ARTZ]

They won't get upset as long as you get out of their way

[bmdrifta]

Haha Artz, yes general idea is to aim for sand then turn at the last minute... I only stuffed one part of that theory up...

As for faster cars, exactly as Artz said, you can just get out of their way and they won't care about you. On that fatefull lap for example, Artz could have eaisly stayed in front of me through the strait and then pissed me off around the corners, but he just pulled over and let me through, no hard feelings on either side. Don't worry about going slower, as your skill and confidence grows, you may end up passing them one day!

Winton is such a good track for beginners too. Max speed last time I was there was only 160iirc.

[blah_blah]

Hrmm you guys have started to sway me to go!

Top speed tracks isnt a problem for me, I just don't confidence yet to carry speed through a corner. For some reason I get afraid the tail might come out mid way through a corner rather than being afraid of understeer.

But yeah I'll keep an eye on entrants, if it's low and not 100 entrants i might enter!

[ARTZ]

Yeah figured that's what I'd do too..if numbers are short will jump onboard

[flyingfridge]

jump on board guys, winton is a great little track to learn at. if you've done one session of DT you've done enough. the only way to learn is experience and winton is by far the best track to gain some

[ssxRicho]

Pitty there is no DT at this Winton event. I'm not competing at this one, but will be there kicking around.

[blah_blah]

So after Garage Cafe last night

Highly likely ill do Winton

What are the Garage Hire prices like? Anyone hiring any?

Also anyone driving up in the morning from the South East? Could drive up together. Nohomo.

Gates upon at 7am so would have to get up at like 4a.m

[emts]

they don't have garages as such, but they have a heap of undercover sheds:

and they free

I'm going up the night b4 so remind me the day b4 and will hold a bay for you

[ssxRicho]

Also see Martin wearing the MS long sleeve there in the background.

I will endeavour to get these off Ryan and bring them along.

Aim to be there 730. Generally we turn up around 745-8, but the earlier you are, the better car ports you end up with.

I will be making the trip in the morning as well.

[flyingfridge]

drive up the night b4 is the best way to do winton, I'll be going up after work - 7pm knockoff on fridays is a PITA at least I can drive straight from Epping

anyone want to meet at the epping BP servo at 7ish for cruise up?

[emts]

I'll be heading off at 3pm myself,

we usually stay at top of the town in Benalla

Last weekend at Sandown I head the scrutineers cracking the shits at the Wrx organisers as no on was coming on time and making things run a little late

drive up the night b4 is the best way to do winton

Yeah I won't be able to make it up the night before unfortunately

[ARTZ]

At Sandown I was ready for scrutineering at 7.30 and they weren't even there yet..

[blah_blah]

Sandown was a bit different, scrutineering started at 8a.m
