Next Sydney area meet up

**static1800** · 06-12-2006, 07:12 PM

Those who were at Boris's picnic may remember we had a brief discussion about the next event. We came to the idea to plan it early and pitch a few ideas of where to go and what to do. We came up with around mid january to be the time if i remember correctly that is. A few of the ideas were heading down to Sanden Point(sp) anywhere but Bondi haha, and my idea of going out to Wakefield park for one of there track days.

I had a look on there website it's $90 for the day and $20 for a helmet if needed, we also may need a $40 wakefield park license, double checking on this.

Anyway, lets hear the suggestions and get this day going and have a good turnout!

Gee, a chance to puts those big brakes and the new suspension to the test

You're going to make me break my promise not to use the GTI in speed events aren't you?

Still Wakefield Park is one of the safer circuits - I had a punt around there a couple of years back in one of their V8 Auscars - a birthday present from the wife

Great fun, except that there's an instructor dude in another car in front of you to make sure you don't go too fast

Was tempted to blow him off down the main straight, but decided against it...

I'll be in, except if its the middle of January (on holidays).

Thats a good idea, we should start to plan for the next cruise from now, and this time we can get a awesome turnout possibly 20 cars to show some watercooled force would be awesome.

My idea down to the gong light house good spot for photo opportunities if anyone wants to take photos. We can make our way through the National Park. I know that Matt wanted to try sound twisty and windy roads. Good scenery and a good drive. There are heaps of cafes at woolongong. If use want I'm going on a cruise this Sunday down there if use want I will take some pics of the lighthouse and show use what kind of an opportunity it is to take photos

Wakefield Park sounds good, not like i got the car for it, but never been there and wouldnt mind seeing you guys ripping ur tiers apart

I reckon we need a show of hands for who wants to spend $150 on a trackday, so that we can book if need be.

Im well up for a cruise down to the gong anytime too.

Awesome.

I'm ready to let the vr6 loose and waste 60L of petrol asap lol. Which ever one that we do I'm sure that it will be good.

I will take some pics of the gong cruise that I will go on Sunday and show use what it was like.

Just heard back from them,
"track opens at 9am and closes at 4pm we have 3 x 20 min sessions run every hour being 1 for Race cars, 1 for street cars, 1 for open wheelers."

Would be an awesome day even for the cost, need to make very firm commitments though if it is going to happen.
