Sandown Track Day 24th October

[Ronin 09]

Add my mate with a Integra Type R to the list - he was at the last one too

Roy - better make that two bonnet straps then

[Daz]

I will be there as a spectator, got to see Bens beast in action

[Roy]

so can we have atmo external gates? or is that a no-no?

You will be fine, if you have it plumbd up to your exhaust though i wouldnt bother disconnecting it. Do you make more power? Its much easier if you can hear what your car is doing, instead of just blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ....blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....!!!!!!!!

Damn, I wanna go but:

- my old folks r here on Sunday as we'll be on the way to NZ in the following couple of days...

so I had to miss out I guess...

after plumbing mine back in today, i'd have to agree.

im going to leave it plumbed for the most part. I can actually hear if something goes wrong that way

Or as is the case with my car - all you can hear are the tunes pumping out! LOL

Bugger listening to what the car is doing - I know I much prefer to listen to some good music than say the noise of my second gear synchro dying a horrible death!

But then - I am kinda insane.

haha true.

have you rang up and cheked how many spots are left after all the sau guys names are put down as 100% attending?

[inark]

dont put me down as a 100%

im only about 60% at the moment... wont know for sure until i find out how much it costs to fix the tail shaft issue... i tried going to ice after work at about 3.40 but they werent there... bloody slackers.

Roy - better make that two bonnet straps then

Marcus - is that Adrian aka Envious of Me aka vtml?

[Downforce]

They never look under the car.

Based on my experience, they check:

....

fire extinguisher - they pull it out check date, but dont put it back in. slack

....

It only takes 2 minutes.  They are too lazy to get down on their knees and look under the car.

My fire extinguisher didnt come with one of those metal date punch card things.... do I need to get one before I go?

[Snowman]

Take it down to any fire service centre - they will do it for free. I went to United Fire Equipment in Moorabin.

[GTRgeoff]

Or maybe the CFA can do it, but the MFB won't (I asked a mate who's a firey)

[Ronin 09]

Marcus - is that Adrian aka Envious of Me aka vtml?

Nope - this guy's name is Michael - he's got a white type-r, head mech at eastern honda

[Laurence]

vtml = Vincent with a black ITR

[Snowman]

Ah yep - remember now. Vinny owns the lude not the teg.

Who owns the white teg with the Red rims I see around? Is this Michael?

[Roy]

As of 4.00pm today there are still plenty of positions left. Lets see if we can get 20 cars entered:)

My car is still engineless... so fingers crossed the engine going is a good'n, otherwise i wont have time to rip it out and do what i should have all along and still make Sandown

[Ronin 09]

Ah yep - remember now. Vinny owns the lude not the teg.

Who owns the white teg with the Red rims I see around? Is this Michael?

Nope, his runs the stockers... but on track day will have white CRV 16s with comp Rs...

By the way, anyone know how much / who to get insurance for the day?

Does Shannons do it?

[inark]

ok i just worked out how much its going to cost to get it all done before the date and it just aint going to happen.

realistically its looking like late november early december this car will be ready for the track... thats with a new seat (current one is too small and will cause more damage than good), new rubber and the engine tuned etc.

[Snowman]

Marcus - I gave up trying to find someone that did track day insurance. Lots of companies used to insure cars for track days (like Shannons) - but apparently even at stupid values like $500 for the day they were still losing money cause people were like,

"I don't know if I can go around this corner at the speed - but the cars insured so I may as well give it a go!".................. BANG!

As for getting 20 cars - well there will almost certainly be 3 more GTR's there. Benno, Crazy Tony and Tim (RBSleepR) - these guys usually fill 3 of the top 5 fastest times on the day so I think we should claim them as our own! LOL. And we have Crazy Frank coming to the HSV day so we'll convince him to join us as well. That would then make 10 GTR's. Thats a lot of GTR's!
