winton open day 5/12/10

[bones]

whos keen ? , im letting you know now cos i went to 17th of oct and there was only one sprinter! fair dissapointing guys , i SHOULD have my sprinter ready by then but would only be doing beginners laps.

i think the entrys open about a month before the 11th correct me if im wrong

[KurtHS]

Possibly me, in an E7 though and would also be my first track day, if that's not finished then I'll be there in the 86 but only to watch.

[willa]

Hopefully ill be driving in my rolla also, do you have to spend your first 'track' day in begginers? Or is that the recommendation?

[bones]

sweeet guys i hope im there driving, my cars in primer and i need to get a locker or lsd otherwise the day would be shit, i think you have to do the beginners part all day but not 100% sure im guessing if your good enough they would let you out on the other track

[KurtHS]

Have a read up on the Vicdrift website, if you're confident enough that your past the beginners group I'm sure you can just enter yourself in the higher group, anyway even if you do enter as a beginner than you can move up at anytime if you're up to it.

[matt99]

You dont HAVE to do beginners. You can enter into whichever class you want regardless of wheteher its your first time or not.

Ill be there, otherwise I wont have drifted once in Victoria this year.

[shift_rook]

come to qr with me instead matty!

[PRIMRK]

I was disappointed that there was only one sprinter there, though it did have a very interesting dizzy set up on a 20v. I'll post up some pics when I get a chance...

I'll be up in dec providing my fuel cell is fabed up and ready to go. Spewing I didn't enter this time there was only one supra on the beginers track meaning there would have been heaps of learning time.

I'll try a skid pan day with driver dynamics first so I'll have some sort of an idea of what to do.

[ONCHRG]

If it's your first time on the track you will be in the learner group.
If you can show the instructors that you can drive they will bump you up to beginners group and then you can go on the main track.
I know cause that's what happened with me on Sunday.
Cheers
David

[ONCHRG]

Must have changed. Always used to be able to just make an educated guess at your skill level and just go for it.


come to qr with me instead matty!

Whats on up there? Just a praccy?

[ONCHRG]

howd the 20v feel at winton ?

not bad.
need a turbo now to keep up with the big boys on the straights but overall did the job.

[bones]

need a build thread boss

[willa]

Do you need a CAMS license? and is this gig sold out yet?

[matt99]

Cams or AASA (AASA is $50 on the day). And yes, this one is booked out already.

[matt99]

While im here, who else is heading up.

Ill be driving.

[willa]

Cheers matt

and thats unpleasant news.. its actually quite shit, i was keen as mustard for a slide.

[dan.91]

im thinking of going what times ir start and how much is it again?

[bones]

like 10 15 bux entry man

[KurtHS]

Are you drifting Matt? All of us who aren't driving on track should all cruise up.

[matt99]

Dan.91, driving starts at about 9.

Yeah I'm drifting, first time in Vic in the 86.

[bones]

maaan i wish i was going

[KurtHS]

Should be a fair few of 86dc'ers there both driving and watching, anyone driving got a half cage and wanna give me a ride?! Free bj's while drifting can be arranged.

[matt99]

Yeah I got a half cage. Ill take you up on that BJ offer.

[KE70GT]

I should be up there driving just put a new clutch in had the diff rebuilt and the bottom end off the motor is all brand new just gota do some k's on all of this stuff before I give it a hard time at Winton

[willa]

is it the same car mate?
you got a cage yet or what?! haha

[KE70GT]

yeah same car with a diffrent front end and i still haven't got a cage yet lol:gah:

[bones]

anyone know what there raising there prices to next year ?

[matt99]

Just a rumour but members entry shouldnt go up by anymore than $20 but non-member entries will probably go up more.

Aka. Im definatly doing the Tassie series again next year.

[bones]

you a member man , is it worth it?

[matt99]

No im not.

For me its not worth it as I do a lot of drifting in Tassie, which this year has meant that I havn't been to Winton once. Membership is pretty cheap though, it would probably be viable next year, ill wait until I see the difference in price between members and non-members before I join up as I dont really want to join up at all.

On another note, my handbrake still isnt working, shit could get interesting this weekend without it.

[KE70GT]

All good my handbrake doesn’t work either comp lock all the way, what group did you enter in

[matt99]

Pro. What about you?

I dont know how my standard trailing arms and SR box will like comp lock all day. Fuck it, I got whiteline ones on the way and a spare box.

[KE70GT]

I stepped up to group b I’ll see what it's like

[matt99]

Whatever you do, dont destroy your front end again. Haha.

[KE70GT]

yeah I know this time it's even the right colour :P

[bones]

Is tassie better? more events or what ?

[matt99]

Better tracks. Good people. I much preffer it.

SO WHERE WAS EVERYONE YESTERDAY?

[KurtHS]

I wanted to go but no one would join, fckn gay didn't want to stand around by myself fck it.

[julzy]

did you just get home matt?

[matt99]

Haha, man our Failcon would have dominated yours if we really wanted it to, its got like 7 turbos. One for every cylinder.

We had the air con on though, so it was slow.

[claw]

hahahaha, alberts falcon is the best

[willa]

well my spectator trip was a no go as my wheels only arrived friday arvo and my brother was changing his vct so i gave him a hand instead..

any pics/vids?

[hachirusto]

i got pics but got to go through and upload them will do it in the next day or so

[matt99]

Where were you taking pics from?

[hachirusto]

i was were the winton bridge was before the 1st corner , then on the s bend later on in the day 1st time shooting so got a couple of decent pics, where you driving matt?

[matt99]

You were on the bridge? Fuck yeah, cant wait to see your pics.

Yeah, I was driving the dirty copper 86 in pro class (I think the only 86 on the day?).

[KE70GT]

I can't wait to see the pics:thumbup:
I had an awesome time despite completely smashing my madhouse lip on the last lap of the day which was shit cause it was only on the car for a week but the last session was the best with only 5 cars on the track lol

[hachirusto]

Nah wasnt on the bridge but to the side of it, Im sure I got a heap of good shots of you will post them up

[hachirusto]
