Sounds great. I think i left $900k in the pocket of my other pants...

Question would be - would I make it out of Victoria without a Defect?

I reckon Pettett would make a special trip to NSW to sort you out.

Alex if you want an epic, reliable and cheap track car go for an MR2. The NA might lack outright pace but in terms of cornering speed not much comes close. Of course if you don't care about reliability get the turbo...

[Jetwreck]

I'm really tempted to do this....it's all on finances.

The cars ready....just needs a road tune, tail shaft and the power steering cooler put back in.

I just hope it rains! Evo-tard hunting for me....might be time to use those rub guards again!

[PN-Mad]

Mr2 hey....

I prefer not to go randomly spearing off into the scenery....

Nah I'm sure they are good, but I'm after a Nissan. I've already started collecting bits!

[PN-Mad]

Craig - I will talk to you about this. Tomorrow or sometime.

I look forward to showing you the benefits of inherent balance........I do understand about NIssans though as so many bits are interchangeable, Silvia of some sort? An R33 GTST? GTR if you're really cashed up?

wanna go me homie?

[PN-Mad]

It'll have an rb, 32 gtst if I can find a decent one to drive the 1200km round trip!

[WAGON_BOY]

so the guy's that have been there before, where's a good place to stay for a few nights ?

[PN-Mad]

Theo's room is good I hear!

[BMX666]

I'll definitely be making the long trip 1 hour down the road to watch all you crazys fly around. Unfortunately I doubt my gearbox would be up to the beating it would take, so I'll be spectating.

Will there be a gate entry charge to spectate?

I can't help with a guide to good accommodation (as I live close enough to not need it), but I may be able to make your choice a bit easier depending on what your plans are while here.

1) If your main focus will be the driving, I'd say get a room in Benalla 5 mins from the track or Wangaratta 10-15mins from the track. This option would also be for you if you didn't want much night life. Also I'm not sure if Benalla has any type of dedicated autoparts store, just a few machanics and car yards. Wangaratta has a supercheap and probably a couple of other options.

2) If however you'd want to be partying a bit harder than just being at a pub, I'd say get a room in either Albury or Wodonga which are both about 1 hour from the track. Albury has a decent night life (if you're into that sort of thing).

Hope that helps some of you.

Although now I've checked the actual date I see it's a Monday. For some reason I assumed it would be a Saturday haha. I would still say the above is true, however Monday night would be quite tame compared to Wednesday, Friday, Saturday or even Sunday nights.

well i dunno about the other guys but i'll probly have 1 or 2 mates with me and might make a weekend of it drive down either sat or sun come back tuesday but depends on price aswell i suppose.

Hey Theo - I'm going to have a crack at your time at Eastern Creek South first. I'm booked for the CAMS come and try day on Jan 19th. What did you end up with? 1:16 or something?

[180Shauny]

No there is no entry charge on the gate.

We will look to get a group booking discount on some accomodation in Benalla, will keep you all posted.

it was a 1:14.77 i think............ Jan 19th that might still be a bit warm LOL luck of the draw i guess.

[PN-Mad]

Yeah, its short sessions as its a come and try day. $30 gets you on the track if you haven't had a CAMS licence in the past.

only 3 flying laps in a session- with an instructor too, but gives me something to aim for

Cheers, for the accom tips.

[WAGON_BOY]

i'll have to finish my other vid's so u can watch them, 3 flying laps would be perfect!!!
