You gotta camp man, it will be sick! i racked off the garage at last minute matt, you can park your rig next to your tent (if camping) thats what i plan to do, the grass is a bit away from the garages, so i figure if something breaks i can fix it and crawl into bed.

Rahhh

[motorculture]

hey guys.

just in case this hasn't already been posted .

I just got off the phone with Wakefield . as i was inquiring about staying in one of the bunkers for 3 days . I'll be there for the drift matsuri weekend and a track day on Monday. long story short i asked the question about camping ..

lady over the phone said camping is only available for caravans. NO TENTS. i forgot to ask about sleeping in cars , vans & wagons, someone might need to double check that part out.

[sotiros86]

Cant wait, ill be there failing miserably lol

Andrew: Black on Silver Trueno

[pen15]

camping means tents so they can fuck wright off if they think we are bringing caravans if not we have a massive trailer to pitch a tent on

[Matt]

There is always the pelican (think that is what it is called) which is down the road a bit from the track.... Costs SFA too.

Might be worth looking into that

[ae8zn6]

Throwing it out there.... are these available? if 12 people could form villa-eh-oyota

http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au/facility-here/accomodation

[maxhag]

http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au/facility-here/accomodation

Yeah, Robbo, iam down with that for sure.
Lets find out and do this

[maxhag]

Also this:

http://site.pelicansheepstation.com.au/htmfiles/accommodation.htm

[ae8zn6]

Ok, spoke to the accommodation cell at Wakefield. There is still a villa vacant which can sleep up to 12 (plus random rooms in other blocks). I don't know about you guys but I think that is the best bet. It sounds like we dont need to make a group booking either but can instead book individually this way. Obviously if we make a group booking we should be able to book out a building and hence be ToyotaVille.

I personally think it would be better to be at the track because we'll be around the other guys who are "camping" and other guys who have booked accommodation at wakefield etc. but I'm happy either way. However if we do go to Pelican etc we'll need to organise as a group, so who's interested and which location do you want?

[maxhag]

Toyovilla for me Robbo......
I got a really bad back, and a bed is better than sleeping in the small truck I am taking up.

I am taking up a truck from work, if you need tyres, wheels, tools... etc..etc taken up, just chuck it in my truck if ya want..... I got heaps of room!

[sloth]

I'm in for the villa, and of course have entered to drift :D (assuming all my parts arrive and I get the 70 ready in time it'll be an awesome weekend).

[sotiros86]

Im keen for the villa if it goes ahead

[ae8zn6]

Ok, I talked to the chicky that took accommodation bookings at Wakefield...

She seemed to think the Best way to run it was to have each person call in and make a separate booking. If you say you're part of the Toyota group then she will try to put us all as close together as possible. So far the group has four people in it, three drivers and one support crew.

If you're staying Friday night as well as Saturday night I think you are able to pay as you arrive, however if you only staying Saturday night I'm not sure but you may have to pay a ahead of getting there. To make a booking call 02 4822 2811 and tell them you want to make a booking for the stadium drift weekend. It seems to be a pretty simple process and it does make sense that we make separate bookings. $60 a night seems pretty reasonable and you literally just have to wake up and you're at the track.

Last thing, I'm pretty sure that the accommodation desk is only open during business hours so no point calling over the weekend.

Does that sound like a good deal to you guys?

[ae8zn6]

Also if for some reason they don't recognise the Toyota group, tell them to put you as close as possible to Andrew Robinson.

Cheers guys

[maxhag]

Come on, $60 a night, for at track villa is a bargain....

Lets do this!

[sundee]

Hold right on a second!
When we payed for this event, accommodation was specified as camping.
Which means tents.
If there is an issue then raceline events need to deal with this, and it seems like they are going to have a huge shit fight on there hands on Friday when everyone rocks up with tents.

I wouldn't go out of your way looking for more accommodation. As it's not our fault, it's the organizers responsibility so let them deal with it.

[sundee]

Not to mention you have probably all payed for your "camping" which means you will be owed a refund

[maxhag]

I would rather pay $60 to be in a on-site villa, than $20 to stay in a tent.....

[sloth]

I would rather pay $60 to be in a on-site villa, than $20 to stay in a tent.....

Yeah, we are genuine motorsport enthusiasts, some some sort of .... street racers ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyTj4WnPE9M ) or hippies :P !

I think after a day of hardcore drifting etc I'd much prefer to stay somewhere decent than sleep on the ground in a tent (I also currently don't have a tent) etc.

For me personally I didn't pay for "camping" when I put in my entry for (I just paid to drive and for an open garage). Though I can see what you mean, there's going to be some angry motorsport enthusiasts with tents on the Friday night if they only allow caravans, lol.

I agree that it is raceline's problem if its anyone's, and I also agree that camping means tents, but lets also be a little careful that we don't f&$* things up with wakefield... It seems like they are only just starting to come around to the idea of bigger drift events, it would be lame if they decided it wasn't worth having more events like this after getting abused by a bunch of guys over the definintion of camping :(

I didnt pay for camping either as I would have prefered to drive to and from Canberra each day then pay $20 for the privilage of sleeping on the ground... work gets me to go 'camping' more than enough to satisfy my need to be outdoors, but I was annoyed Id miss the nightlife part of the event. I see this as a better overall package.

In the end I guess its up to the individual, but as long as we follow some simple advice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzPne-2bO2w) and manage to avoid overdrift, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2IWxqvsSY8) Im sure we'll all have a rad time.

[maxhag]

Overdrift - So awesome on so many levels..... Maybe I should get one of those auto boxes...lol
Overdrift 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRyFJvOGB_s&feature=related) "one time during a race, he changed out your brothers tranmission, while he was in a full drift"

[sundee]

Has anyone brought this to racelines attention?

[pen15]

i dont think so

[sundee]

So we Could only assume that maybe raceline have a special agreement with Wakefield , AND the point of contact at Wakefield "you" spoke to was misinformed?
A simple call to raceline will clear this up.
I'll do that tomorrow.

Luxury... You guys are soft ;p

[maxhag]

Luxury... You guys are soft ;p

Tentz... You guys are borderline dero..... :P

Nah, kidding guys, I have serious back problems (bulging disc and pinched nerve), so camping is not for me these days..... :(

[thr55t]

Taken from the nissansilvia matsuri thread,
Tents, vans, campers are all ok.
All campers must have the correct pass + 2 day buddy pass
2 day buddy passes will be available at the gate from friday 1pm
This is the only official forum, no one else has any authority to post info unless its taken from here or our website.

[sundee]

See ^ no problems , bring on the dero night life, you boys in luxury will miss out , maxhag your excused ;)

[ae8zn6]

bring on the dero night life, you boys in luxury will miss out

haha, who said I wasn't going to act like a dero, lol

PS. If I do myself a serious back injury in the next few days will I be foregiven :P lol

[sundee]

Nah get stuffed . Haha ;)

[OMG866]

Just bring down a lumba roll to put in your swag TTZ32 you''' be right :)

PS. im fkn excited for this event. Took the rolla down there last monday for driving sports MAD MONDAY. Just a few things i learnt about the track.

A. its a very dry area so if theres any wind there is heaps of dust. SO bring goggles if u plan on having your window down due to it being HOT as fuck.
B. They have MAMMOTH Ripple strips on some corners so i advise to bring a spar control arm or tie rod if you have them.
C. take down a shit load of water cause unless your richy rich its about $4 bucks for a tiny bottle only one sip worthy

I think thats about it for now ill update you all if anything comes to mind.

Just 2 things im waiting to hear back on are?

A. Where is the closest petrol station that sells 98.
B. waiting to hear back on if there will be a tire changer on site??

[sundee]

there will be a tyre changer on site and they will have someone operating it.
closest servo is a caltex, just on the other side of the hwy.
or get some avgas from the airport ;)

there is a shell in town , would be about a half hour round trip though

caltex makes me cringe, im loading up with jerry cans.. BP only for my pig

[maxhag]

C. take down a shit load of water cause unless your richy rich its about $4 bucks for a tiny bottle only one sip worthy

[OMG866]

[sundee]

Cops in training. Great!
Not sure if they charge for tyre change, I wouldn't think so

[ae8zn6]

Re; Water - No worries. I might bring 30 cartons and people can just buy as they need it. To find me, look out for a Gold AE86 or a blue Lavazza coffee truck :)

re; Petrol - The (highway) servo, the one at maccas, sells V power, which is 98ron.

[pen15]

i will be tacking my daily and a massive jerry if anyone wants to use it your more than welcome but replace the fuel you use to get there and leave a little extra for me ;)

[ae8zn6]

re; Petrol - The (highway) servo, the one at maccas, sells V power, which is 98ron.

Fairly sure that servo is no longer part of the franchise, hence no longer has V-power... that was from a couple of months ago, haven't been there since so could have changed.

[maxhag]

Last wakefield track day I went to was in August, a few months back. They had V-power then........

[ae8zn6]

fair enough,

I hope its not raining, i didnt get new tires for nothing, lol

[OMG866]

went to that servo last week and im 99% sure they didnt have 98. :( owell looks like ill have to blend vodka E10 and turps together again.:yeah:

[pen15]

ad i thought you where intelligent how wrong i was

if everyone is worried fill your tank before you get there and take a massive jerry with you how many tanks do you think you will go through

[sundee]

I'm bringing fuel from Syd, saves going out = more track time

[ae8zn6]

Just doing some late night prep, not so much because I need to, more to help impress some friend's neighbors...

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/2/8/256746.jpg

... no doubt suitably impressed, though I didn't ask.

[pen15]

YEAH BOI!

[ae8zn6]

Weather should actually suit us if this is accurate:
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/2/8/257142.jpg

Bit of rain in the days leading up to help settle the dust, then cloud cover to keep the temp down

[70rolla]

Bring on wetness for underpowered car

[OMG866]

ull need more than wetness buddy haha. might want to pack your balls.

Peace in the middle east bro

[4AGENT]

Keeeen

[Rice86]

im keen to shoot some footage... wonder if they will allow me to access the inside of the track to get closer shots of you guys doing your thing

[ae8zn6]

Just got a call from Robin @ wakefield accomadation, has anyone else booked in? Because she has had more bookings but noone has specifically mentioned Toyota group or my name. I think she sorta needs to know if we are to get put together. But in the end the party can always just move to whereever the group is.

[maxhag]

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/1/1/555168.jpg

My rig is ready to roll......

[evil86]

looks good Jo cant wait for you to rip it up

[maxhag]

you coming on fri or sat?

[evil86]

Ive got work friday so will be there on sat and sunday. Apparently theres passenger session, so im gonna sign up if i can. Anyone accepting passengers? :)

[andy86ae]

so keen for this even though im only spectating. do you guys know what time it kicks off on the sunday and how much spectating tickets are?

[ae8zn6]

The 'TV' add (http://player.vimeo.com/video/32549113?autoplay=1) (that I only saw on the interwebz) said action starts at 9am each day, so Id say you want to be there before then if possible...

[Rice86]

oh snappp!!! weather is shit, so should be awesome for some crazy sideways, hope no one here crashes too hard!!

[maxhag]

might have more takers for the villa with this weather...

[maxhag]

Wow!
Such an epic weekend.....

Good to meet all the lads from here who came, looked like we all had a fuckin awesome time.

Loved the sound of 'Pen15' motor. Awesome car!

Also, Brendons 230kw SR20DET Beige KE70, What a beast of a car!

I am sure there are pics to come in the next few days....
