Brisbane Euro Meet - 24th of March- Sunday Night - 6:30pm - Newmarket

[THE_EGG]

Hey just an idea.. we had a little mini vagcom scan meet last night with 4 southside euro drivers and Calamvale Central could be another location if you want an alternative to Newmarket? Its got both a big outdoor/well lit carpark and a massive! underground carpark as well.

Just putting it out there.

We could try it at the next meet after this if you would like. Personally I would like to keep it at Newmarket for this one just to be safe and if it has already be posted on other forums on the web, it might not get through that the venue has been changed.

I'll be there.

I was there with them.

Easily handle 50 cars, not mentioning if it rains, the uncover car park can also handle probably as much.

South side pre-meet at Calamvale Central?

Yeh sounds like a plan. Then we can drive up to Newmarket as a group. I'll be there as well, I'll also scout for the next meet.

What time for the pre-meet?

I can't speak for the rest of you, but I have spent a lot of time, effort and money modifying my Polo so it is fun to DRIVE. I turned up to the last meet, at Rocklea, Tennyson and at Newmarket. It was the first I've ever been to and it was boring beyond belief. I understand that sometimes it's nice to look at each other's cars, but I would really like to see these awesome cars actually driven like they should be. From what I can gather, you forum blokes are a bunch of pansies who would rather stare at each others cars than see them put through their paces.

How many of you have actually been to the track? Not just for a BBQ Breakfast, where you are warned not to drive faster than road pace, but to an actual track day?

Can we please, please go for a cruise over the local mountains, or the border ranges? Surely there's someone out there that actually enjoys the fact they own a quick car? Twice now I've tried to organise a night at the Willowbank test n tune, but not one person bothered to turn up.

It frustrates me so much to see the effort that has been put into your vehicles, only to see you fuss over tyre pressures, warranties and what type of LED bulb to install.

I'm sure that a large proportion of you will not agree with me, but if any of you feel like going for a drive, an actual drive, please get in touch with me because I'm as keen as a bean.

The 'happy laps' events that are on here are probably 90% of a track day. Some people time them through their smartphone, others choose not to. The big difference is obviously not being a race/competition. I would say I push my car to about 90% of its limits (maybe 75% on the brakes just because I don't want them to completely melt). I think the road speeds which we are told are really just so they aren't liable for any crashes caused by high-speed unless it is wet in that case I don't really go past 140km/h @ Lakeside (<- treat that track with respect). At QR in the dry, I've reached around 175km/h according to car speedo so probably about 165km/h irl. At Lakeside in the dry, I've reached around the 160km/h mark as I'm not too comfortable going too much faster than that at Lakeside. Bear in mind, my car is only a 1.6T with 155bhp (or 100KW per tonne).

If I'm honest, I'm more into perfecting/practicing racing lines and braking points etc rather then drags. I choose not to do proper track days because of money, the fact I only have 1 car and if something happens to that car I'm screwed for uni and work. Because of that, I don't think I'd push too much harder than at 'happy laps'. There are quite a few people that attend the 'happy laps' that also do proper track days.

I'm all for a mountain run like through the back of the GC or near Mt Nebo etc. that'd be great.
