so collie is a 2 day event run over sat sun. the next one is later in the year. not sure if wascc is organising it or if i am organising it yet
entrants are maxed at 50. with 8 cars sent on track at a time. takes about 1.10 to finish a lap. so you could imagine that over 2 days you get alot of track time.
just for a reference, over the first 2 collies i got over 120 laps.
becuase this is WA were everyone is sheep and take the easy way out, most people drive silvias or skylines.
this has led to collie killing alot of cars whether it be turbos or cooked motors or blown motors.
the dust is pretty insane and doesnt help either.
the other killer is the walls. the run off is like little marble rocks that leads into tyre walls. there has been about 20 cars hit the wall.
i can only think of a handful that havent been able to go back out tho. this is from people mostly pushing to hard. (myself included)
collie is very friendly to well setup but low power cars. like my 86 was. people have started to realise that.
and as people have gotten better there they are going thru insane amounts of tyres.
so alot of people are just getting into basic setup missile cars that if they die it wont matter.
and being low power they are able to use cheap 15 or 14 and less of them too
then there is the other side of collie. the friday night as everyone rocks up is pretty exciting
huffy sliders come out
then there is the saturday night which usually has everyone having a bbq, bonfire and a few drinks thru the night
it really is awesome and sets a great mood for weeks after.
i havent met anyone that hasnt had a blast at collie

yeah almost...
the only thing is we cant drift at night. the track isnt fenced in and there are no lights. there are lots of kangaroos though. so not exactly safe or smart
looks like an awesome place and great atmosphere
obviously as i just got here with my stock shitbox ke (sold my sprinter to fund the move) i need to find a 4ag
drama ensues

We have hill runs just have to no were to go
Im looking at south of Perth, Secret Harbour area. Depends on where the job is though. Collie sounds so good, i hope i can join in the fun.
Corolla is definitely coming, just have to work out how...
i drove from melb after spirit of tas'ing the shit outta the bass straight
its around 2800 km
2.5 days doing 12 hours driving first two days and finishing the rest off on the third day
you will see alot of desert and stay in some seedy motels, but it's fun if your not by yourself
a friend got his car transported from bris and it cost over 2k
other option i should looked into is drive to radelaide then train car to perth from ADL.
apparently it's pretty cheap

Yeah i can train it from Sydney but i dont think its actually going to fit. Might have to fit some standard suspension in it or something for the trip.
