QLD Twincam.org Darlington Park Track Day

[Azza]

Well, yes, I had forgotten about Monday as well so it might just be a case of "hey honey, how about Saturday we take a little drive towards the Gold Coast ... there's some lovely little "back roads" we can have a squiz at ..."  :)

Then what do you know?  "Look, honey, a racetrack that I never knew existed ... and look, there are cars running around down there, why don't we have a little look-see?"  :P

Should work a treat.

Sounds like a plan...

SMS me when you get there and I will deflate 2 of your tyres (cause you'll only have one spare) and then you'll be stuck there and she can't compalin... :)

Easy :)

I've just checked the starting time over at twincam.org, it doesn't start till 11:00am which cancels me out as a spectator on this occasion, I had thought it might be a full day so I could catch some action in the morning. :(

However, I will catch up with most of you at the All Toyota Day, no fear! :)

you forgot these Mark

- clean out glovebox

- clean out seat pockets

- remove spare wheel and excess tools

- remove floor mats and spare wheel cover

- remove rear seats, or fold flat to lower centre of gravity and shift more to centre of the vehicle

- top up with octane booster

- if you have time and patience, door trim...

If you have a pit box many of these things can be done there, but boy is it fun pulling your car to bits... :P :P :P :P

[MAP81]

Plus i need the rear seats for the tripod to sit correctly :P

[Azza]

Mark,

Remember my car will be empty and parts of the rear reserved for Shaos crap (spare, tools, muffler...) so your welcome to store stuff there too if you need...

Cheers

I have also just decided that because of the tonnes of food that I may (or may not) consume, that I will probably be throwing the esky in as well...just to keep my vegemite sangas cool.... :P

Shao I reckon that with Azza in the car and after he consumes his play lunch and big lunch your lap times will be considerably slower :( B)
