We leave by 6:30 and get to the track about 8ish.By the time every gets signed in, gets their car ready (I.e. shed extra weight, pump up tyres, etc...) it's 9am and can be the first on the track.

I have 19x9 on the rear and at $900 a tyre I dont really want to go through them that quickly .I have a mate who owns a tyre shop so should only have to pay for the tyres and that's it Russ Edited 30/08/06 12:04 AM by RussXR6T

Last track day I spend some time driving round goulburn with no brakes looking for a brake shop! I shot a pad out at the end of the straight... no fun there
