Lakeside Happy Laps - Sat 10/12/11 ($30)

So keen give the r a squirt.

I know exactly how you feel mate.

That is the main reason i am trying to organise this for everyone.

Give people a chance to push their cars a little harder than road use without having to worry about police etc

I could not commit until this week due to work and other things going on, however, I am free now so would love to get to this one. If not will look at the next one then.

Cheers

I understand your point.

Unfortunately QR require numbers a week in advance and they have already been lenient enough with the changes we have made.

If this event works out there will definitely be others in the future.

Howdy, any thoughts on whether they'll let us run with the rain? I'd imagine that they would but if we have people that never tracked before and it's pouring rain, I respectfully ask that you don't drive anywhere near me

Having done plenty of track days without limits, in the rain, in the UK. I never found that to diminish the grip more than a little bit. You had to drop the speed in the corners by 5mph. Of course, I am not the Stig, so anyone daft enough to listen to me is on their own, once the flag is up.

If you can get the inside line, most folk will be understeering off the outside.

Having said that, I am getting another pair of tyres fitted on the S3 this arvo, just in case there's standing water.

Weather forecast is for possible showers on Saturday so fingers crossed it will be localised and not on the track.
Either way we will be having a full pre-track briefing on code of conduct etc so nothing should go wrong even with a wet track.

Weather is crap and I haven't got all the tools I need to fit them or they'd be on already. I should hit up Jimmy but I know how busy he is.....

I swear I responded to this earlier today but I'll be there with stockos on the front and yeah, it may be the last time I get to stretch the Jetta's legs.

[redline3345]

Is it too late to join in? Is there details of start time etc?

do we need to wear long sleeve shirt and pants? or will t shirt and shorts suffice?

No clothing requirements as it is at "road" speeds.

Unfortunately unless we have another pull out I can't add any more to the list.
Keep an eye on the events section though as I will be enquiring when their next free day is when we rock up this weekend.

Clay, I had a tooth filled yesterday that hasn't done the job, am having it extracted tomorrow. So will have to bail as I don't recover well from dental.

If you can't fill my place, I will still pay no probs.
