Alrighty then,
Last Novemeber I organised a road trip to Wakefield and Eastern Creek and it was awesome except for one important thing. I didn't have a car. So since we haven't been able to organise anything for Tassie this year I'm going to go back to NSW - same time - same places (kinda). Like last year anyone who wants to join me is more than welcome. I've contacted all the venues and this is the itinery. Tues 6th Novemeber (Cup Day) - Winton Special SAU event - more on this later. Wed 7th Novemeber - Drive to Goulburn Stay at Wakefield. Accomodation - $50/night/person (at this stage we'll stay there all 3 nights).  Thur 8th November - Wakefield Cost: $100.00 Require: CAMS L2S and Wakefield License ($50pa. Not sure if the ones from last year will be valid still?).  Fri 9th November - Eastern Creek Cost: $120.00 Require: CAMS L2S  Sat 10th November - Cruise Home Notes: I think everyone that came last year will agree that these two tracks are probably more enjoyable to drive than anything we have down here in Vic other than Phillip Island. And both tracks are completely different. Both of the days are open practise days however - which means no timing. But given this and given they are on mid-week the advantage is you will get as many laps as you desire. I guarantee you will not do as many as you possibly can unless you are a freak  If you want timed laps I suggest you get one of the Mychron Lap timers which is what most people did up there last year and they were great.It's a pretty full on schedule so not much time available for "fun". I've decided that the best bet at this stage is to stay all 3 nights at Wakefield. The accommodation is truely awesome and is roughly 2hrs from Eastern Creek so no big drama's for the drive up and back on the Friday (and gives us a head start for the drive home on Saturday). We don't have the spare day in-between like we did last time hence why I haven't made plans to stay in Sydney. So who is in? Drivers Snowman - R34 GTR (bloody better be I tell ya right now!) Aaron - R34 GTR Scotsman - R33 GTR Jack - R33 GTR Ant - R33 GTR ferni - R33 GTR Matt - R34 GTT Adz - R34 GTT Chris - R33 GTST Camden - R33 GTST Al - R33 GTST Ray - buggered if I know what he is driving now Dances With Fences - EVO Brisby - POS People who really like long drives Paul Bec Wayne Ash Dee --------------------   <-The new challengesCalder 1.04.7 Phillip Island 1.47.1 Sandown 1.19.3 Winton 1.34.3 Wakefield 1.07.8 Eastern Creek 1.50.1 Barbagallo 1.05.7 Collie 0.51.3 Nurburgring (BTG) 9.12.3 DECA Winner x 3 Dutton W.A.

In again for this and yes I know what I mustnt do for all you jokers
 Will drive both tracks again too. What was happening with Oran Park, was that being looked at/closed down/not on the cards? Remember talk of it last time. Just a question r.e Cams licence, mine expires on the the 14th Nov which covers me for this trip but do I need a certain amount extra like with a passport e.g a month? Havent renewed before so not sure. -------------------- |

You'll get your cams renewal soon - they usually send it out a couple of months before it expires.. so you can renew it before you go, but no you don't need an extra month on it... -------------------- Phillip Island - 1.48.9 not bad for me.

Right - before I get asked too many times right now we don't need to do anything.
A month or so out we'll need to individually book our accommodation. But for the 2 track days we don't need to do anything in advance. They will both just be pay on the day deals. There is no pre-booking or anything. But this is going to be a fun week. -------------------- <-The new challengesCalder 1.04.7 Phillip Island 1.47.1 Sandown 1.19.3 Winton 1.34.3 Wakefield 1.07.8 Eastern Creek 1.50.1 Barbagallo 1.05.7 Collie 0.51.3 Nurburgring (BTG) 9.12.3 DECA Winner x 3 Dutton W.A.

Bucket 'O' Chips james and matt went the shops to get some food and crap and couldnt find anything useful (we were in goulburn) and they found bowls for potato chips but they were too small so james brought some plastic buckets and potato chips, hence bucket 'o chips QUOTE(Scotsman @ 17 Jul 2007, 10:42 AM) 4. Don't drink the blue liquid at one of the bars there was a blue glass tip jar with coins and water someone thought it was a blue drink and drank it, only to find it was water and a tip jar QUOTE(Scotsman @ 17 Jul 2007, 10:42 AM) 5. Don't let NSW pick the 'shinadiggins' venue's in goulburn the pub we went to i think was crap and the other place we went to was miles away. no biggie -------------------- i am no longer accepting pm's any more - i've had enough
