Sounds good.
I could be in this.
Although I'm not sure I want to embarass you T owners....

Great....first day of the month just like the last one

Thanks Goldie, these days are a hoot, just need some numbers to make it happen here.

I wouldn't mind, hopefully I'm not on &**#%^*##&# CALL!!!!!

Put me down as a "maybe".

I just got new rear tyres.

These days are an absolute hoot and would highly recommend to anyone.

For new owners, this is a perfect opportunity to learn how your car feels sliding around in safe controlled conditions.

Makes me wish I lived in the Sunshine State

Sounds like what we Mexicans did recently.
Highly recommend it.

Watch me roll my Pajero Is there anyone that i can give me a lift up there to watch or has everyone dumped me cause i dont have a T

goldie/sledgehammer

thanks
shazzy

Being the first decent ute that Ive owned....ahhh what happens at these days.....guessing a bit of tyre wear......witches hats....laughing at Shock spinning out of control in the wet....close?????

Mate they are great days, if at all possible I will be there.


Scotty

I am a maybe at this stage. Will let you know closer to the date if I can make it.

tyre wear shouldn't be a problem if the skid pan is well watered and with diesel

shazzy

Ahh that depends.

Whether you are actually on the wet part or the dry.

Need to pump the tyres right up too. I forgot last time and the outside edges were worn at the end of the day.

OK. Some of it was done before the day as well.

Hi Guys,

We will call for some definate numbers now, could we start to make a list


Location of event for thoises that dont know:
OK, Roadcraft is where it is being held, check out www.roadcraft.com.au

when you drive to Gympie, you will pass a Matildas then there is a Caltex servo which is in the 80 zone. once you cross a bridge with a rest area immediately after it, you are directly opposite the complex. Take your next right then turn right immediately again. Follow this staraight ahead then through the gates in front of you. there is a bike track on your left, turn left. Follow the roadway down and around, then you will need to turn off to your left on a dirt section of road which is about 150 m long, give or take a bit. the skid pan will be obvious to you by this time.



I will ask for payment as we have to pay before the event so will PM this out to those on the list. I will do this shortly.


In meantime:

Attendees:

We have 12 cars already confirmed from the FPV club;

List:

I have 2 ppl from work that are interested as well. Oh no "Nissan's". LMAO

1 x s15 200SX (and forum member) ;p

Any objections?

No objections to other makes and models of cars etc the more the merrier and everyones welcome.

We will have an instructor on hand to run with us and "do whatever we need him to do" we will run various courses and the instructor will advise / run / suggest / passenger etc as needed. We ran with the FPV & XR Club recently and had a ball.

Lits Update:

Sledgehammer
XR6TU + 2
Sutty
ShockXR6T



Oh and sutty, we really take offence to that, we were all as fresh as a dasiy, well a daisy on bourbon street ......

You might be looking for this?
http://www.drivertraining.com.au/index.html

Looks like it might be instructor led.

For your info, we had 6 drivers in Melbourne and we got 4 turns each in about 3 1/2 hours. We could only fit 1 car at a time on the skid pan though, so it may be different for this one.

Hi All

At this stage I look like a non starter. I forgot about it being on the 1st Oct. It's our anniversary.

My other half doesn't think a day at the Gympie Skidpan would be too romantic, can't imagine why not!

You'll all have a ball, it's a great day.

Cheers

Big AL

The R33 is pulling out but the s15 200SX will still be there, maybe have a Lancer joining us as well, unfortunatley not an EVO Another work mate. so still "XR6TU +2".

Ok cool, I will post the acount payment details later this week for all

Stu
