[TassieGTi]

A few of us went out to the local race track (Baskerville) for a bit of a squirt today Dom has some great in car video footage as a passenger in Benny's Mk2 GTI and my Mk1 20vt The little orange beast did the rounds, with Ed C letting everyone have a turn behind the wheel throughout the day.

Here is a small selection of pics

The line up:
James: Mk3 2 door VR6
Ed C: Orange Mk1
Benny: Black Mk2 GTI
Dom: Beige Mk1
Me: Silver Mk1 GTI 20vt (no pics as I was driving it)

The sound from this thing at full hook is amazing Ed C at the wheel giving wringing its neck

Ed C and I have been round Baskerville millions of times, but for Benny, Dom and James, it was thier first time......they picked it up pretty quickly, too Now that they are all signed up with the Hobart Sporting Car Club, we'll have to organise another outing soon after Christmas

Look's like you all had an awesome day at the track.

Would've loved to get my car down on Baskerville, but due to a change of plan's, I was stuck with Symmond's Plains.

Thanks for sharing the pic's fella's.

How much does it cost to run your car on the track down there?

Was a great day, Ricey Haha....next weekend, hey! We'll have to organise the next one pretty soon Thanks for the drive, mate......I'd forgotten how well the beast went

Yeah...I'd much prefer Baskerville for a bit of a blat.....suits the little Golf, too It's pretty cheap to use the track down here! If you are not already a member of a car club, it's $60 annual membership and then $60 every time you want to use the track So for the guys who joined up yesterday, only $60 next time

There were quite a few out there yesterday! One group of guys had a track day comp where they have to go and and buy a car for $1000 and then they have a $1000 spending limit to get it track ready The silver Volvo 240 running around was a classic

Looks like a great day was had by all. Well done. The weather was kind and I imagine the grip levels would have been good too.
I plan to get to the next one, if there is one and I reckon I can organise a few of my late model customers to come along too.

So many memories....

great to see that the ol' track is still in good condition. I can't remember what times I used to get in my Datto 1600 (half a P510)...but would be keen to know what times you guys are doing.

My best time at the Plains was (I think) 1' 30" something...

Standing 1/4's were mid 15's

looks like a good day was had, are we going to see some of that onbaord footage??

[86gti]

Yay! Was a great day, and Much fun had by all.
Like Mike said, it was my first time (in a car) on a track, and I can't wait for next time. I have done a few laps around "the plains" on a bike...But i have to say with baskerville a newbie has to be really thinking about what they are doing...lol
Antdragonist (Dom) should have some more pics and vids up soon....
Thanks for a great day ppl
