Track Day (Wakefield Park) Monday 27-Nov-2006

[35R]

Wakefield Park have an Open day on Monday, 27th November 2006.

The format of the day is one 20 minute session per hour between 9am through to 4pm.

You can come and go as you please; do one session, or six+ sessions!

Cost is $90 for the day (+$40 for a 12month Wakefield license if you dont already have one).

There is no "racing" as such; and no timing system. It is just an open day where any road registered car can participate. Wakefield is a great little circuit for beginners; it is relatively low speed and has no concrete walls; and there is plenty of open field runoff areas. You just need a car, helmet (can hire one if necessary) long sleeve top and pants, enclosed shoes and brown undies.

There is a canteen on-site that sells old-fashionsed take away style food.

Any takers?

[BOMI]

At the moment I am a goer for this day!! :nutbag:

Looking forward to catching up and also seeing the C4T in action :eek:

Troy :)

[Hethro87]

A couple of weeks time hey?

Yeh ill be there. However ill only be able to go if someone nicely offers there time in return of beer if they can help me bleed my brake fluid and put some new front pads on :)

Also if its raining ill be a no show, but if i ask nicely can i shotgun front passenger seat with you troy? - my $50 tyres arent good in the wet as you would expect! :shock:

Oh and i wont be using whereis again - wollongong is not a nice area :lmao:

Hethro

I can't help you with the brakes unfortunately ... unless we do them down there ??? Just haven't got the time between now and then.

We usually meet up in Sydney and all head down together. If Dunc, Erik & myself are heading down from Sydney you should just meet up with us and we can all cruise down together.

:cheers:

[BOMI]

Alex, if you get there early enough we will do them at the track, should take no more then 1 hour.

Excellent, so we officially have a possie for this track day.

Troy, with that video, is the * supposed to symbolise braking, because it kind of looks like something else..

[Hazza]

Would love to come out again, but doesn't look like I will be able to make this one. I might be able to squeeze out there for an hour or so to have a looksie or help with anything, but that's about it.

[RedVYIISS]

I might be a chance for this.... wont be doing too many laps as only have street tyres atm.

Still, sounds good!

[bok1]

I WILL BE THERE.:yahoo: :yahoo:

Hmmmm what could it look like :eek:

[Febs]

Have a busy day on that Monday unfortunately - big presentation in the morning, then on a plane to Melbourne (for training) for the rest of the week. It's not all bad though - I did manage to get accommodation in Crown Towers for the week. :D

Cheers,

Thats fine mate i understand that you have other things to do! :) Down at the track seems like a fine idea.

Would be an idea as whereis directed me onto the freeway to go down to wollongong and then i had to ask at subway how to get to wakey, a 4hr trip instead of 2hrs! HA! :confused:

Ok trackmaster troy sounds like an idea mate, what do i need? Obviously pads and brake fluid (my car is dot 4, any good brands? Castrol?) - any hosptial equipment?

Hethro

p.s Thats cool that ur coming down bok1!!! You'll have a blast! :D

Castrol Super DOT 4 is what I run and I like it mate. Do you want me to get your pads here? I get awesome discount on them!!?

Troy :)

[Scotty]

Dont die of shock... but It look like I can get out for this one.:dance:

I also have a mate with a built subaru liberty who is interested....

[Hethro87]

Discounts hey?

Sounds good Troy. Being a poor uni student and all! :eyes:

It looks like ill be picking up Valvoline super performance dot 4 for the fluid, and bendix ultimates or advanced for pads. But im leaning more towards advanced as thats more suited for after the day...will shoot u off some info soon troy.

Less than 3 weeks to go now! My best mate from uni might be coming down in a r32 GTR, so a bit of rice to watch out for!!! :thumbs:

Hethro

[BOMI]

If you wanna by what you choose thats cool, just let me know mate.


Hey Alex have you spoken to your mate Sam about Track Chat yet?Seieng as though he and his father race cars and own some very very nice ones I think you should let him know if you already havent.

Troy:)

[Hethro87]

Yo Troy.

Was speaking to him on msn today and when our exams are finished he will join up - ill force him to make a thread on his familys rx7 prodsport race car and there new beast a 2002 bmw rally car :flame:

His mates might be coming down - Toyota sprinter, Renault Clio Sport and a Liberty RS wagon :eyes:

This could be a great day if we could all come down! Big big turn up for what are great days!

Nice ... very nice. That's the sort of car I'll drive when I get old :stick: Can't wait to see it.

Edit ... SNAP Troy :lol: Look up the specs mate, even more impressive than the looks.

[Hethro87]

Haha ok Erik sounds like you've got something up yourselve :up2sum:

Dang guys, Gunna be a WRX fest down there! Just confirmed that the Renault Clio Sport will be there! Sprinter is a no show, Sam should be coming provided he doesnt have work.

Will be ordering my Bendix ultimates this week! :flame:

RS4 hey dunc?! Great i love those cars!! Yeh nickS i recon its either one of those or the last gen BMW M3 fo sure :werd:

Hethro

[RedVYIISS]

Looks like I'm not going to make it. Slowly deteriating gearbox is just about to call enough me thinks.

First is flairing and starting to loose drive. My gearbox man is checking out the so called 4L60e experts.

[Hethro87]

Hi guys.

You better take me off the list for driving or even coming (I'll only come if sam is driving - ill come in his car)

Ive been crunching some numbers and i wont be able to afford to come down, not before xmas anyway - I have got some bills to pay etc Plus id much rather do the brakes properly (ie bed/bleed them correctly) and earn some more money during xmas so i can actaully afford to fix the car if any thing goes wrong with it.

Sorry looks like the laugh will have to a wait a few more months :(

Plus i bombed one of my exams today so im not happy! :cry:

What does this mean Alexander? :whip:

If you wanna play circuit you have to cut back on the teenage :beer: also its a waste of good money.

The exam, Ill PM you and find out.

Troy

[Kyle]

Might have a lift for the monday, come down and shoot you guys on the track :D

Will see how it all goes :)

[BOMI]

Kyle that would be awesome mate, if you need a lift you can come down with me, Im sure one of the guys could give you a ride back if need be.


Troy :)

[Hethro87]

Yeh Troy.

I can understand the feeling you get, those sessions i had with you were prolly the biggest adrenline rush ive ever had.

Well done dunc on your PB, 1.10 is great - u hoping to beat it?

Hethro

[35R]

Yeh Troy.

Hethro

I would like to shave a couple of tenths off. Wakefield really isnt about horsepower though, so i'll have to figure out a way to get around the track a little quicker (ie learn to drive proper).

[Hethro87]

Yeh Dunc how you going to do that?

Just keep on frying RE55's till you get the perfect driving/braking lines? :)

Oh and Sam will be coming down in some form of performance car, and the Clio still is - looks like it'll be shaping up to be a good trackchat.com.au 1st Wakefield.

Cant wait to see your weapon Nick! :driving:

Hethro

[Pulse Red]

I am hoping to come down as a spectator if no one objects.

[NickS]

I am hoping to come down as a spectator if no one objects.

Absolutely ... the more the merrier !!!

:cheers:

[lautray]

Just a quick checklist for those participating:

- >1/2 brake pad material essential (if your name is Troy, a new set essential, & then some :stick: )
- check all fluids, inc p/s fluid (p/s cooler recommended)
- long sleeve shirt
- helmet
- Buttfor

[BOMI]

Add big nuts to that list Mitta E, if you dont already have some that is :stick:

I now hav 3 half worn TS2000's in my posession and think that will get me through this day, hmmmmm.....

We'll see :nutbag:

Cant wait and really looking forward to meeting some new people.

Troy :)

[lautray]

Mine are peas compared to yours!

[Hethro87]

Mine are peas compared to yours!

Erik we all know Troy has Elephantitis dont make it harder for him to come to grips with his illness :lmao:

And bring litres of water down to Goulburn as well, sell it to the public they need it there.

Hethro

[BOMI]

And bring litres of water down to Goulburn as well, sell it to the public they need it there.

Hethro

Your on drugs Hethro, they sell water in the canteen and there are taps every where :whip:

[Hethro87]

:up2sum:

Dont fret dude you wont see me on Dr Phil or Rehab soon.

I dare you to go to one of the taps at the park and drink a fair amount of it - make sure you have your medicare card on you!

The town is on level 5 water restrictions!

Maybe this is the reason why you could make a business of selling large amounts of water to the area (I wouldnt bother but whatever floats your boat) :rolleyes:

Hethro

[lautray]

I dare you to go to one of the taps at the park and drink a fair amount of it - make sure you have your medicare card on you!
They say "Water not suitable for drinking". They are really doing it tough down there.

Negligible rain... off track is so hard & dry... ask Troy... I believe he tried to outbrake some turkey (on the outside!!!) going into the last corner & found out how little rain they have had :stick: . A plume of dirt was seen and the car disappeared. Think he got that from in-car vision too in his vid :thumbs:.

[BOMI]

:lol: Hethro was in the car with me when I tried to out brake said Turkey :stick:

The Video Camera was in the rear bumper to!!!


Troy :)

[lautray]

:lol: Hethro was in the car with me when I tried to out brake said Turkey :stick:

The Video Camera was in the rear bumper to!!!
It put a smile on said turkey's dial at the time... still does now :lol:. You should have a rematch dude. Learn him good.

[Hethro87]

MMMM effulant water :beer: just what the doctor ordered!

Haha yes I was in car for that one, I thought to myself "we aint going to make it" and hey presto! :lmao: fun times had by all.

Man not too much longer to go, only 3 more days till exams are over yay! :woot: then freedom!

Hethro

[Kyle]

Just confirmed leave from work for next monday :D

Just need to confirm a lift now :)

[BOMI]

I have 2 spare seats if you need mate.

Gillian and I will be leaving early early to meet up with the others our hotel.


Hethro will be in the back also so bring your IPOD :stick: Hethro

[BOMI]

Hethro :)

[Kyle]

Sounds good mate :D

Has your car got back windows for shooting cars out the window? Are we travelling down in a pack? :woot:

[BOMI]

As far as i know we are traveling down togther, I have a back window :lol: but the rear wing is in the way, the side window would be best. I will place the car where ever you need it to get the shot you want :up2sum:

Troy :)

[Kyle]

I did mean rear passenger windows :P Obviously heh

I'll need your car sideways 90deg, in front of all the cars at 110 for 2 mins... think you can manage that?:bash:

[BOMI]

Kyle I have been known to get the rear end out a little bit in my car :lol:

2 Mins might be pushing it a little though.

[35R]

Guys, as you may know, this is an OPEN DAY at Wakefield; you dont have to get up at sparrows fart to be there for 8am. You can turn up at 9am or 10am if you like. You can essentially come and go as you like. However I plan on being at Wakefield Park 8am Monday.

We've found the best bet is to meet at the Mobil Servo Station at PHEASANTS NEST; basically this is about 40 mins south of Sydney on the M5. I found this meeting point better than trying to convoy through areas of Sydney.

So for those going early (heading south from Sydney) let's meet at PHEASANTS NEST Mobil, such that we can depart there 6:30am. We should get to Marulan BP (to top up fuel) about 7:30, taking us to Wakefield Park for 8am. I'll be leaving my place about 5:30am (Maroubra).

If this is too early for some, thats cool, just meet us at Wakefield.

[Kyle]

Pumped? I am :D

Hope I can get a media tag for the day so I can hide in the huts around the track... shouldnt be too hard.. :)

[Hethro87]

Two points of advice for those never been to Wakey (from last personal experiance haha)

1. Dont go to Wollongong
2. Dont use whereis.com.au to get you there

Hethro

[Kyle]

Terribly useful hethro! Cant believe i'm travelling in the same car as you :stick: :stick:

Its just south of Wilton & Picton rds. Can't miss it. But please don't be late... its hard enough getting the cars ready between gates open (8am) & first session of 9am without getting there "late".

A new meeting point !!! Very good.

This actually makes it easier I think, I'll hook up with Scotty at Pennant Hills and we can jump straight on the M2, then M7, then M5. That time of day should be a breeze on that road.

I take it this Mobil is on the freeway ? I can't picture it, I have probably usually dozed off and let the cruise control take over by then.

:D

Nothing to be nervous about ... just a heap of fun to be had :D

Just watch out for Troy ... he likes going sideways ... and stay away from the jet powered bat mobile. :up2sum:

[Scotty]

Just watch out for Troy ... he likes going sideways ...

That might be me... whether I like to or not... :headbang:

and stay away from the jet powered bat mobile. :up2sum:

Based on the very quick ride today.... I reckon we wont need to use mirrors for you... we will hear you coming.. and feel the jetwash as you pass...

Might have to report you to the RAAF as an unidentified Low Flying Aircraft

[Kyle]

I am eggcited, is it sunday evening yet :D

[Febs]

Getting in early with my request for:

Lots of photos
A few videos (I'm looking at you Dunc :D)
A sub 1:10 from a certain Batmobile ;)


Cheers,

[lautray]

Preliminary forecast:

Forecast for Monday
Fine and mild to warm day. Easterly winds.


Goulburn : Mostly fine. Min: 11 Max: 29

[Hethro87]

Haha whereis.com.au is not your no1 friend in street directions.

I remember taking the roads and then getting on the m1 going "Errrr" not fun!

Although the hot/nice girl at Subway who kindly wrote down directions and told me itd be another "2 or so hours i recon, sorry! You looked really pissed off and tired!" made it better :lmao:

Not long to go yippie!

Hethro

[Kyle]

Plenty of photos will be had febs :D

Not long now!

1 ... A few guys coming down just to take pics ... so that should be easy.

2 ... Several of us will have video cameras ... so no probs there.

3 ... :shock: ... now the pressure is on !!!

As much as I would love to do a sub 1:10, and I have no doubt the car has it in it, I'm not sure I'll be doing that next Monday. Haven't been on the track for 12 months and I think it may take a while to work out the best way to drive the beast around the track.

It's going to be a heap of fun trying though.

:cheers:

[Scotty]

Bring it on......

[Kyle]

Some sideways smoke action too please Nick! :D:D

[BOMI]

Some sideways smoke action too please Nick! :D:D

Tell you what Bomi ... I'll get some http://trackchat.com.au/media/data/500/Big_balls.jpg if you're prepared to cover the cost of anything that goes wrong as a result !!! :lol:

Deal ???

[35R]

Just some notes for people who havent been before

How to get there

From Sydney, get on the M5 and head South for about 2 hours. Take the first Goulburn exit, drive through Goulburn, turn left at the brown "Wakefield Park" sign. Then drive another 10 minutes or so, Wakefield park is on left. For those going early, we are meeting at the Mobil service station at Pheasants Nest 6:30am (about 45mins south from Sydney, servo is on the freeway). If you get lost, call me on 0408327007.

Cost

$90 for drivers + $40 for 12 month Wakefield park license (if you dont already have one)

Format of day

Arive, sign up, and drive; no pre-booking required, can come and go as you like 20 minute session for street cars every hour, between 9am and 4pm. No need to get there early, you can turn up anytime after 8am

Requirements

Drivers to wear long pants, long sleeve top, and enclosed shoes; Bring a Helmet, or you can hire one at the track. Passengers allowed (on track) but they must be signed up drivers. Bring your regular car license

Lunch

There is a canteen there that sells take-away style food and drinks

Other facilities / notes

The track has an air compressor where you can pump up your tyres, no pressure gauge though (I have a gauge you can borrow). You can't get fuel at the track, best to fill up on the way down. Nearest servo is about 10 minute drive from track. There is only one or two pumps of 98 Octane in Goulburn, ask someone where they are before you head into town.

Check you have at least 50% brake pads.

Any of thoughts/questions please post them up!

[Kyle]

Do they allow a passenger at all?

[35R]

Do they allow a passenger at all?

Hi Kyle

Passengers are allowed, but they need to be signed up / paid up drivers on the day.

[BOMI]

Yeah all the time but I think you need a driving wrist band.

So Im not a 100% on press passes so to speak, we should be able to talk to the steward of the day and come to an agreement.

Troy :)

[Kyle]

Only wish I had my business cards printed off in time to prove to them that i'm a pro (well, in their eyes at least)

Got a couple of photo backing labels with my details on them, hopefully they will do..

Got a nice new lens to try out, cant wait to use it :D

[lautray]

Don't forget your buttfor... essential!

[Kyle]

The what?? :P

[lautray]

Further weather update:

:cheers:

Thanks Nick, I wil be there to see the fun!

[lautray]

The what?? :P
Come on Kyle... you gotta bring your buttfor.

[lautray]

P.S. Erik can I please borrow your lap timer for this Monday at Wakefield :bow:
I think someone else has put their hand up for it ;).

[Kyle]

Do spectators need to pay any fee upon entry to the park?

It was hot down there today :(

[lautray]

Do spectators need to pay any fee upon entry to the park?
Nope, just rock up one & all. One of the few things that is FREE!

[Scotty]

The FINAL COUNTDOWN....deneh neh... deneh nan ne... ;-)

No I am not excited...:up2sum:

Just got to get through a wedding this arvo....

[Kyle]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT :D

Was good to meet you all today!

Nick, can I (pretty) please trip down in the coupe, if it's passenger seat is free? Willing to dontate photos :bow:

[BOMI]

So Kyle youll be meeting us at the servo as per the earlyier post buy LSX?

Troy:)

[Kyle]

I'll call you tonight, But it might be better if i can meet you at someones house, and leave the coon parked out front, or in a driveway or something??? :)

[Kyle]

Bump, going to bed now'ish... ciao at 5.15am @ concord!

Long day ahead :D

[DaveHAT]

Can I be the first to say that the suspense of how everyone went today is absolutely bloody killing me...:werd:

[35R]

It was a great day, some ups and downs, but picture perfect weather (perhaps a bit too hot) and Goulburn turned on the flies for us, millions and millions of them.

But, at least half a dozen trackchat members on~track today, and a couple more potential members signing up (Red Liberty Turbo and Blue WRX). It really wasnt a day for PB's (not for me anyway) however I believe the Red Libery pulled off a 1:09, which is awesome. Oh and Bomi (aka Risk Maker) with another go on the RE55's netting him a 1:13.3 PB, well done mate.

Lautray, what can i say; TWO cracked rear rotors! Gotta give those 6x6 DBA wiper slots a miss I reckon. So Erik had to sit out a few sessions.. Any future mod plans Erik? Do tell.

NickS, awesome to see the Coupe4 Stroker Turbo in the flesh; and whizzing around a recetrack no less. Can't wait to see some of the video footage.

Unfortunately towards the end of the day, Burto (RS4) spun off the track, clipping a ripple strip and (we think) buckling a rim, I hope you can get that fixed or a new rim without too much drama. Little consolation, but it could have been a lot worse.

Kyle, what can we say but thanks for putting in the big effort to come and shoot photos for us; I'll be buying some for sure, really appreciate the effort mate, I know it's a long day.

Good to see a few track newbies along, having a go too, well done guys.

My car went well today, first couple of sessions were ho-hum, but started reeling off low 1:12's and even one 1:11.9, still a whole second off the pace though. As for the harrop brakes, I am still undecided if they are worthwhile. I'm having a few issues with them, pads not fitting right in the caliper, and getting some rather loud vibration noises which gave me the shits. I dont think the bigger brakes have helped my lap times, just being honest.

I have some video which hopefully I can rip and post up soon. I am sure Bomi has heaps too.

thanks for a great day guys.

[Pulse Red]

I cant comment on everyone?s times but it was great to meet some of the trackchat gang and I thank everyone for making me feel welcome and for taking the time to chat with me. Although a certain white VX SS owner was putting bad ideas into my head about more power :) He was kind enough to offer me a DBA brand boat anchor though... :lol:

It was hard watching cars go flying around the track and not being able to join in the fun :D Although even harder was eating the pie I bought from the canteen, the bottom fell out of it and it went everywhere! Just a bit embarrassing...

Thanks again and I look foward to the next one!

[lautray]

Yep, was a good day, but cut short by cracked rear rotors... again :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: . But the car was generally strong with the clutch behaving & brakes shudder-free (up to cracking :cry:) . Anyone need a few boat anchors/paperweights/doorstops????

Was a great turnout (for a weekday) for the inaugural trackchat event.

Looking forward to Kyle's photos. Great job mate.

Future mods... yep, yep :up2sum: ;) :up2sum: .

[Kyle]

Who likes teasers??? :yahoo:

Just to annoy you all a little :P

I'll start some of the processing tonight (automated part lol) And should have about 200-300 done tomorrow night or wed night.



I must say thank you to Troy (bomi) for inviting me along, massive thankyou.
Thanks to all for putting up with my endless tired chatter, i think i spoke to everyone about their oz track wheels :doh:

Thanks to scott for driving me from the track back to concord, REALLY appreciate it moite :D
Nick, cheers for the ride, what a freaking weapon, so much torque it's not funny... race ya :stick:


Anyone who is keen to look at purchasing photos, i'll chuck up a price list in the next day or two in my thread in the advert section. 15% discount for trackchat members too, gotta share the love :)

Ciao for now, tired as all hell :werd:

Was a great day, so many different cars out there in our session, A Nissan Z a Porsche, dont know what type but the video footage will show up what it is. Also other Holdens the dude with the HRT ??? number plate, Sam (yet to join :stick: ) brand new Mazda MX5 (I think) and a few others which my tired frazzeled mind cant remember.


The 6x6 wiper slots have been great to me in the stock size even though I have made them glo orange at Easter Creek and gon metal on metal HARD twice now, only been machined dude to the aformentioned.

I do need bigger or maybe better brakes though.


Pulse red, did I meet you? I didnt meet Pulse Red but maybe I met you by name, sorry mate.

Kyle thanks a ton for coming out mate and 15% is a great discount, will be getting a few, if you got any of me :stick: kidding :lol:



I have heaps of footage and when I get Nicks and Duncs footage ill cut a lil movie for you all.


Troy :)

Ohhh, i didnt know about this site, or this day, until, well, now! (although i did sign up a few days ago, i hadnt logged in :doh:)

Thanks again Kyle!!

[NickS]

What a day ...

I left early (3:30) as being one that doesn't sleep a whole lot I wanted to be on the road at a time that I had a chance of staying awake. Would have loved to have stayed till the end of the day but I just can't do that drive after 5pm ... bores the life out of me.

Had a few brake issues early in the day, shudder after a few laps when they got really hot. I had this same issue at Eastern Creek at the start of the year. However it seemed to improve as the day went on, I'll need to do another day to see how they go but there was very little, if any, shudder by the end of the day.

Everything else in the car didn't miss a beat. No fluid leaks, temp didn't even approach half way all day, gear box stood up to the punishment (for now). Reset the trip computer before I left and 550kms later, including all the track work, I averaged 16.1 litres / 100 kms for the day. Love your work Sonny.

Tried the new tyres out yesterday and despite the fact that it's a pain in the the arse to get the things on they were brilliant. Much better than street tyres. The suspension worked a treat, I can actually dial in more of a track setup and will do this next time, just took everything fairly easy yesterday. I was consistently in the 1:14 bracket and based on a dodgy stopwatch time I may have managed a 1:12 near the end of the day. The brakes had me somewhat hesitant all day so I hope to give it more of a go next time. I do however feel that 2+ tonnes is never going to be suited to incredible times around Wakefield.

Main thing is ... we all had a ball.

:cheers:

[RedVYIISS]

Sounds like you guys had a ball (again!!!). Sorry to hear about the brakes Nick, looks like all else went well though, good to hear.

My trans rebuild is booked in for Wed/Thurs this week, so I should be right for the next outing as well. Looking forward to it.

[lautray]

Alex, can you verify for Troy that I did a 1:16.42 in 4th gear alone please :D.

[Scotty]

What a fun day.... I had a ball....

First time to the track... with more than one corner:)

My best was a 1:17:22... and yes I had my traction control on all day... yes soft... but I didnt want to worry about my lack of car control skills early on... then forgot later on...

Fun moment for me was travelling around turn 5 when I could no longer steer and had to head off the track with troy up my clacker... the terpentine... no serpentine or something belt came off... had to crawl back to the pits...

Thanks troy for driving me into town and fitting for me....

Thanks to all for a good day... its great to see everyone helping everyone out.

There is soem funny footage on nicks camera when I put in in my car but rushed the install...

Nick thanks for the use of the lap timer and the camera...

[scat2k3]

Bastards, the lot of you.

[Ryzz]

Bastards, the lot of you.I'm with you on that one Scott!!

[Kyle]

Could have come fellas :D

There's a possible private day coming up in february, once i have details i'll post :)


Pics tonight :D

[scat2k3]

Could have come fellas :D

Incorrect Kyle, thats why I am filthy with you all. Some of us had to keep the nation running yesterday. Isn't that right Dave?

Cheers,

Scott

[Hethro87]

Alex, can you verify for Troy that I did a 1:16.42 in 4th gear alone please :D.

:lmao: Yeh Troy im sorry mate but he did do it!

Few points from the day:

Flys Dear lord how many were down there! Did we bring them down with us or something? The rid got a workout! Althought i found if you sat down in the shade they didnt bother you!

Troy and Gill Its always great to see you Troy and to finally meet you Gill! Hope you enjoyed my stories on the way down haha. And dont fret Sam and Hugh will be joining up soon.

Erik Honestly you are a good driver, far out! Im sure the nanna naps before the sessions helped you out haha! Thanks once again for taking me out (on the track that is!)

Scott Mate you are one lucky bugger with your fan belt, hope you got home in one peice!

Kyle Dude looking forward to your happy snaps, should be some good 'uns there! Thanks for the Red Bull on the way down :eyes:

Dunc Cant wait too see that new engine in your red beast, I think you enjoyed the flys as much as i did ha!

Nick Man sorry to hear the brakes are still rooted! Hope you can get those sorted out so you can fly around the track with even more confidence :)

Hugh, Maz and Sam Thanks for coming down. Good to see some 4cyl's going around, cheers again to Hugh for drive back to city!

*One random note from the day - When I was out with Sam in the mx5 for the last session the Blue 350 Z was stopped on the exit lane off turn 12 before going onto the straight - As soon as we turned to go onto the straight it started to reverse back onto the straight! What an idiot! :yike:

Hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as I did - I'll be there next time for sure in the Camry haha

Hethro

P.s Was it me or was that Development series v8 supercar the best sounding car ever?! How damn good did it look around the track!

[Kyle]

There was one point at the end of the day, last time the supercar was out, i was hanging over the pit wall rail with my eye in the camera, and I took an oncoming shot of it, turned around and he was 1m off the pit wall, must have been so close to hitting me when he went past me! :D

[vosadrian]

Hi All,

I was the one in the red Subaru Liberty yesterday. Good to meet you all, and thanks to Scott for inviting me (and for a few laps in his car!!).

Looking forward to seeing some photos and video!!

Are most people on this forum Holden followers? Are there any Subaru guys here or other?

-- Adrian

[Pulse Red]

Pulse red, did I meet you? I didnt meet Pulse Red but maybe I met you by name, sorry mate.



Did i meet you pulse red? I was the guy carrying round the penis extn... lol



Seems like I made an impression on the trackchat crew :lol:

I just said a quick hello to most of you, my name is Daniel (is this AA? :beer: ) I was there chatting with Erik and Duncan for most of the day with quick chats to a few other guys. It was a pity i missed the morning track action due to another commitment but still had a great time.

[BOMI]

I saw you!! Sorry man didnt know it was "Pulse Red" dont be backward in coming forward next time mate:)







ERIK Until I see a 4th gear 1.16 in person I dont no cant believe it :stick: :lol:



Troy :)

[Scotty]

Welcome Adrian,

Great to see the Liberty flang around and in good time too.

Thanks for the driving instruction and for bringing my car back intact...



Are most people on this forum Holden followers? Are there any Subaru guys here or other?
-- Adrian

There is currently a high proportion of GM owners, basically because we started it up... but hopefully as word spreads this will change... but there are currently other subaru and ford etc owners here as well...

[Kyle]

Yep, 3 ford owners now :D

Gotta stick it to the holdens :stick:

Ive not really been into the large sedans, always been round small performance cars, so the large turbo sedan is something very different for me.

Youre not alone Adrian! :)

[Scotty]

Kyle,

Stop posting and get onto those Pics....:stick:

You are welcome for the lift home. It was good to be able to chat to someone for the exciting:confused: drive home... I am sure we can chose a better pickup point for next time.

Looks like a great day was had by all and well done guys for recruiting some more members, good display for trackchat ...well done. :werd:

[Scotty]

I think I did two session before timing

Here are my timed laps thanks to nick lending me his timer...

http://trackchat.com.au/media/data/521/laps_27-11-06.JPG

oh and adrian's laps in my car... it looks like my tips to him paid off..:confused:

[vosadrian]

Thanks for the tips mate!! :)

What an experience it was driving your car on the track. Much different to mine (AWD turbo). Your car has a good second or two in it maybe more with the traction control off (but was not game to turn it off in a car that is not mine). It is a really invasive system and seems to keep the power out for a long period of time after it detects the slip. A little bit of slip would be much better for lap times than the loss of power caused by the traction control. I could not feel any slippage at all when it was cutting in... do you have an LSD? Maybe it was single wheel slip rather than both?

The brakes on your car were awesome. Very powerful... a little difficult to get used to the feel... but smooth and confidence inspiring. I should have been braking later than I did with those stoppers. The gearbox and clutch and pedal placement were a bit difficult for me.... I normal heel-toe, but could not with yours. Just different to smaller cars that I am used to really.

I was surprised how top end oriented the power was. I know this goes against everything, but my 4 cylinder turbo pulled out of the corners alot better than the big V8.... gearing would have had a play in this also, but the LS1 engine is off the boil below about 3500-4000, and you could catch it out coming out of the slower 3rd gear corners.

I would have liked to take you for some laps in mine just to show the differences if not for my delaminated front tyre!! :( The smaller/lighter size with much harder suspension really is alot more direct in its handling, and the turbo torque really pulls from lower RPM. Of course mine has alot of mods to do that!! :)

Thanks again for the drive!!

-- Adrian

[cosmo vyss]

Good to hear everyone had a good day and no major brakedowns occurred.
Eric - you need to do something about your achors. Is this the third time you have had problems with the stoppers? :headbang:

Nick- Lucky bastard, bet it would have been awesome piloting the coupe round there. :up2sum:

Dont feel bad Dave I also had to keep the Aussie economy ticking over. :cry:

Not soft at all Scotty, well advised and sensible IMHO. :)

Better to err on the side of caution when 1st venturing onto the track as opposed to opting for the hero option and then working out "hmmm how the hell am I gunna get to work tomorrow" when it's all gone pear shaped in a moment if excuberance.

Good on ya for having a go. :beer:

[Kyle]

Photos in general section...

....finally...


now i need to go buy glasses because of you lot! :D

[lautray]

Eric - you need to do something about your achors. Is this the third time you have had problems with the stoppers? :headbang:
Yep... next rotors for the rear will NOT be DBA4000 with wiper slots... I think the little wiper slot is their weakness. Can't be wrong 3 times :headbang: . May try RDA's or DBA4000 with no slots. Cant keep kissing >$200/rotor goodbye every track day.

[Kyle]

How old are your rotors lautray?

[35R]

How old are your rotors lautray?

Erik would be stepping on a plane right now.

(his Rotors may have done a two or three track days)

The theory on why these are cracking relates to the relative thickness of the DBA4000 ventilated rear rotor "side wall", versus say a SOLID rear DBA4000 (which others here might be running, and which I have run, with nil issues).... with 315mm REAR DBA4000's, being ventilated, and not as thick as the fronts of course - thus relative thickness of each "side wall" of these rear rotors is rather thin, much thinner than a non-ventilated (solid) rear. I hope that makes sense.

Watching rear DBA4000's fail like this (three times) cracking right on the "wiper slot" (I think that's what that little slot is at the top of each disc is called) - well I just wouldnt run these ventilated rear rotors again.

However, I have run the solid rear DBA4000's and never had a problem. Kind of ironic that something designed to be more robust ends up being the reverse. In any case, its just a theory, and could be wrong, but it seems to make sense to me.

Here is a pic demonstrating where they fail:

http://www.trackchat.com.au/media/data/500/medium/dba4000_cracked.jpg

I believe Erik has tried to take this up with DBA a couple of times, but they have not responded.

[Gilly]

Wakefield was my very first track day and what a day! I didn't actually get on the tracK but still had a good time!

After seeing the Renault Clio out there, I'm wondering if the Rolla could be taken out for a spin... :lmao:

But seriously, I'm too much of a scaredy cat to get into the passenger seat of Bomi's beast, especially when he's driving! Perhaps Valium would be useful in that situation!!

Look forward to attending other track days!! Nice to finally meet the other members I have been hearing so much about (all good of couse!)

[The Blacktop Pirate]

hey guys, i was down at wakefield in a nc mx5 (Wasnt mine, twas dads) as was my mate in his clio. Glad to see your all sensible and dont try and run us slow cars off the road, hope we didnt hold you up to much. some of you i met most i didnt, but glad everyone had fun. Hope all the injured cars pull up ok!

(btw my car is a 2000 wrx [with 25inch chrome wheels and 1 metric tonne of stereo equipment, and in stead of fluffy dice ive got chrome dice the size of your head- i jest its standard] and is currently at the panel beaters after i restyled the front end, hence my reason for not bringing it. Just dont want you thinking that the poofy convertible was mine)

[Hazza]

Well done guys! Can't wait to see video's!!! Bring em on. Sorry couldn't make it for a looksee, hope to be racing with you next time.

Dunc. The problem with the pads, do you think that is an inherent redstuff problem? Erik. I would go to DBA and request new ones (non wiper-slot). Even thought they aren't supposed to be used for the track, that kind of fault is ridiculous. Nick, good to see you running in the coupe. Chuck as much neg camber on the front as you can next time, and watch it turn in. Bomi - awaiting your roaming camera angle footage.

Hazza, I'm not sure. I've had more than one vendor tell me it is a known issue with harrop calipers (the calipers not built to a fine enough tolerance) and the pads requiring linishing. I'm not really happy, if i knew this much attenton was required for each new pad set, i would have never bought them. FWIW, the vendor (just brakes) tried to fit a set of bendix ultimates to a new harrop performance brake package the other day (thje "OEM" pad harrop use) and they had to spend an hour or two filing down the pad backing plates. Something is not right with this kit.

Now then now then the Clio is a perfectly good car Gill! Its considered to be the best sports hatch back going around for the last few years!

I bet you my camry would be quicker than your 'rolla round the track!
