Hi all,

As there are alot of cars coming out of the woodwork and more tending to see some sort of circruit/track action, I thought I'd put up this thread for discussion as there seems to be a few interested in meeting up for an interstate battle (mainly the Sydneysiders). There are a few over on the JDMST forum as well. As this thread is mainly/purely focused on track work, I don't want any nongs randomly posting in this thread about putting their full-hektic Corolla's on the track. Like they say 'talk-the-talk, walk-the-walk', I'm not discouraging anyone but I too often see people who will say they'll come ect and then is a no-show. I'm hoping maybe a moderator can keep an eye on this thread to clean up any irrelevant clutter.

Anyway, on topic - which track and what months would suit everybody? Who's keen and thinks they would be ready? Really hoping to see some VIC guys out there.

I know that Winton Raceway has Tampered Motorsport days. There days have 5 to 6 groups with about 12 or so cars per group and each group does around 5 sessions which is ample track time. If the Sydney guys want to battle down here, then I can arrange with the organiser of Tampered Days to have one group solely for the Corolla battle, but we will need a minimum of 12 cars.

Anyway, back to you guys.

Fire away...

yes, oh yes, yes.

but i hope it will be going by then/when. fingers crossed ill get my arse into gear.

[trdee]

i would be interested in such a day pending details etc.

otherwise the next toymods wakefield day is in may

Hume highway wangan corolla style! Melbourne to sydney!

[redsx90]

Yes definately i will be in. once the quads go on then brakes which will complete my mods.

Prepare for a good'un race lol

[Tazz]

Best bang for buck = Toymods days since there are no sessions or group rubbish, just go on and off as you want. Ther are passengers allowed all day which is a huge bonus over other days. No timing but they don't stop you from bringing your own gear out there.

They are always held on a friday and there is always at least a months notice beforehand. Accom the night before and after for $30 a night at the bunkhouse which is next to the track.

Ideally before september suits me since I'll be getting ready to go overseas after that and won't have time/$$$ spare for days such as this.

[sxtool]

Definitely will be interested. Wakefield would be the closest for myself or the marulan track near wakefield. Have heard of it, not sure of the details etc...

[Water Boy]

Just a suggestion... If all 12 corolla's go in the same group you will not be abale to watch each others cars which may be important to some. I know it was a bit of an issue with a VW meet. So we had 4 cars in each group so all were able to veiw each others cars on the track.

[trdee]

f##k watching. i go there to drive!! lol

get plenty of time to watch whenever you bring your car in to cool down/fix s##t that breaks etc

[xjustinx]

A few of us sydney kids will be down in VIC for a Circuit Club trackday come July..

[Deceiver]

I'd be keen for something at Winton if it's going to be in Victoria.

Of course, not until I get rid of the boat and buy the new car.

[trdee]

you best fix the oil supply issues them cars have before you take it to the track ben or you gonna get hurt real bad

The one I'm looking at has the turbo issues sorted, so it's just a matter of replacing the oil pump with a non-gay one.

Oh yeah, then I'll need a set of track wheels + 4 semis.

Yeh I agree with the non-watching thing. 12 car's going around a track at the same time would be fun for the drivers to see their abilities/test their cars. Afterall it is a interstate "battle". Man, where are all the VIC boys...

So off the NSW guys, is many keen on grouping up and making the trek south? Winton is a good track for all sorts of cars and I've proven that you don't need stupid ammounts of power to be competitive. Otherwise, I guess we(I) will have go up north.

As I said, I'm keen providing I have a new car that is up to the task by the proposed date. At this point that doesn't seem like an issue, so yes, I'd be keen on travelling down in a pack.

August seems like a good time for it, tbh.

[Tazz]

I could only be in if it's at wakefield. Nearly impossible to get time off with the team I'm working in apart from around christmas but I'll be overseas by then.

Suppose it comes down to numbers in the end. For example if there were 6 people from NSW and 3 from VIC it makes more sense to have it in NSW or vice versa.

[trdee]

and i can tell you now there will be more from nsw

nevertheless i would also do a roadtrip to victoria if there were a fair number of people keen on the trip

[Tazz]

anyone from QLD keen?

[Deceiver]

f##k numbers, how often do you do a trackday in another state?

[trdee]

im not gonna go down there, break s##t and get stuck on my own. if we have a few cars then we can hire a trailer in case one of us breaks down.

FIXED!

[OSO-DVS]

I'd love to get out there and represent Vic with Trung but i'm not sure if i'll have my car sorted, so depends on date for me.

[eviltwin]

If i can get a few BBQ's and lads over for sessions on my rig it'll be making an apperance!

[bway]

Count me in if its at Winton, let me know the dates and I am there. Lets make Teddy Whitten proud Victoria!!

And for all you Vic boys needing Semi Slicks PM me. I don't advertise it in here very loudly but I work for Kumho Tyres Australia. I wont be much cheaper if at all, but with sizes in the KU-36 hard to get I get first call before the retailers do.

Right now it looks more NSW based, Brian what if I supplied you with $50 bucks petrol money to persuade you to go up north...?

Mick, let me know when you need help. Or have a bbq, I'm all ears if it's free food lol jokes

TOUGE ON THE BOARDER!

No need for $50 bucks Trung, I will go and happily help you put the NSW boys back in there place. Even if there are quicker we still have the Melb Storm and a bit of silverware they want. Just name the weekend and I will get time off work to make it happen.

As for Micko's free food and funny jokes count me in to giving him a hand to get him up there

[Casey-G]

Ill go north, fo sure.

provided my car will be track ready.
