Winton Weekend - July 9 - 11.

[INASNT]

Come on INASNT, dotn be weak, you know you want to come!  All that power and never driven in anger!

You can get a drive in Roy's mystery door prize if you come

Just came back to mel last night at 11pm.

Alot of snow up in falls creek and 2wd will require chains about 5 km's from the entrance, but if you have good rims and lowered car good luck putting the chains on and taking em off when its dark and not getting the rims scratched.

I have been driving up to falls creek every week for the last 3 months for a few days, and its a FARKIN boaring drive on the hume

How was the meeting last night?

WHat details were decided?

[Roy]

WHat details were decided?

:confused: ummm.. A few things were decided. Cars without 3rd gear arent much good to anyone, neither are cars that dont start :Oops:

Give me a call on 0408 409 068, or touch base with Snowman, he is the flocks sheppard ...or circus' ringmaster...take your pic.

Im so PUMPED this is going to be a good weekend

[Snowman]

Ferni - is it just you coming up? I can get a good deal on a 5 person serviced appartment in Wang.

Also - because most of us are out East we are going to meet in Lillidale at 7:30am tomorrow morning. *yawn*

For those that dont have it my number is 0419 375 140. Call me now for a good time.

[Snowman]

And jokes about my gearbox arent funny.

No there not funny.

No.

[ferni]

[ferni]

[ferni]

Cool, so just 5 of us then?

[Snowman]

DentonR33 - dont be soft. Im going up in my stock subi and Roy is going up in either an R32 GTSt or a rent a car. No such thing as you car not being up to it mate!

[Snowman]

Ok - accomodation is booked at the Parkview Motor Inn - which is basically right near the main town of Wangaratta.

We have a twin and a tripple booked for Friday night and we move to a 2 bedroom serviced appartment on Sat. Cost is $35 per night for both nights. The exciting news is theres a swimming pool!

Anyways...

Just for reference I'll chuck up a track map for those that havent seen it. Looks like a hella fun track.

I also did some quick research on times to aim for.

Last years MSCA at Winton - the Skylines Class (Class J) was won with a best time of 137.8. No idea what car he was in. For reference one of the guys that I was similar paced to around Sandown earlier this year ran a 1.41.8. The day was won by a 135.4.

Not many cars under 1.45.

[ferni]

thanks for organising the accom andrew!

137? is that 137 seconds or 1m 37s ?

(zero racing exp)

[Snowman]

Sorry - missing some decimal points. Thats 1min 37s. So its a longer track (time wise at least) than Sandown.

[ferni]

Ok so i should be getting 2mins if i'm lucky with my granny driving

[Laurence]

Have fun guys!

Remember to add extra oil... The sweeper is a killer for oil surge

[Scotsman]

Ok got a proposed road plan....

I will be a FTG Maccas at 7:00 if anyone wants to meet there? (Burwood Hwy FTG) Let me know first as I will not go if anyone doesn't need this. Otherwise I suggest BP on the way out of Lillydale at 7:30. (On the Left, before hill out of Lilydale) From there we go Melba Hwy thru Yarra Glen and Yea. At this point we can go left and head for Seymoue and the Hume (Adds 15min to trip)(Will only go this way if we need to pick up troy roy boy or if the roads are icy) or we go right onto the Maroondah Hwy towards Mansfield and hang a left onto the Midland Hwy after Bonnie Doon and that takes us to Benalla.

Any comments / suggestions. Are we all happy with this?

[Scotsman]

Also I might be bringing a camera / photo person (So bring you cameras)

Snowman can this be worked into the accomodation?

Might have to give you a call later on tonight anyway

[GTRgeoff]

Suggestions? Drop in on skylinegeoff for a coffee

Have fun team.

[Snowman]

Chris - I can be at macca's at 7:00 I basically have to pass by that way anyways. I'm tired just thinking about being in FG at 7:00am!

We can add a pull out bed for $10. (we are already doing this in one room on the first night) However on the off chance that James comes too we'll need another room - but thats no big deal. They had heaps of rooms available apparently.

I don't have a camera.
