VIC Motorsport 2010

Hey gang,

We have talked about it many times but not much as happened.

- Pete has been busy with his Mk1
- Josh has a Mk1 that's ment to be on the track.
- Jarred is getting a Mk2
- Tim has a VR6 that needs a flogging
- Carl is hanging to get back on the track
- Stu is only allowed to drive on the race track so Mitch can drive him there.
- The Eurospeed crew all drive slow apart from Gerhard
- And my Dad thinks you all need to man up and braaappp it on the track

So there are heaps of hill climbs and track days coming up.

You will need:
Cams Level 2 Speed Licene (L2S)
Helemt
Firmly mounted Fire extinguisher
Non-elastic bonnet restraighnt
Blue Triangle
Some good pads decent brake fluid

Dont worry if ya car is slow or doesnt have Brembo's. I did my first track day in my Mum's auto Mk3 GL. And now I probably have less HP in my CL but who cares im having fun.

So lets get motivated and aim for a AROCA at Phillip Island or a Friday at Winton.

[Jarred]

I'm hoping to get out to an event this year. finally I should have a car that's capable and suitable.

Can we have some dates? prices? and a place to buy a helmet?

[Water Boy]

Events range from $55 to $180 for the day.

Helmets can be bought from Revolution Racegear, OMP etc.

eBay and other forums have them too.

Race rubber is also nice.

[GoLfMan]

I'd be up for it, but the Sooty would be the one on the track, not the mk1

Jarred, have a chat to me I can arrange a helmet

[Water Boy]

Anyone interested in doing this with me and Jorge? Awesome day out and with a good group of people.

Cool, I could do with some company.

I was considering Winton sprints on the 14th of March, but it's a long drive and I'd need a crew.

Wouldnt say a Mk1 couldnt keep up with a Golf mate! Look at some times.

Winton is a demanding track which rewards an agressive driver is a small car.

I know a Skyline is quicker but heck anything with good suspension, brakes, tyres and a nut with his head screwed on can go places.
