Next Sydney area meet up

**EndlessMKI** · 08-12-2006, 05:18 PM

Guys to be honest it better if we go to an easter creek open day. They are run by a private company.

Cost: $200
you get driver training, awesome lunch, unlimited drinks.

and if we get a nice group they will surely arrange for a special vw class.

I'll break down the cost for you guys.

Wakefield.
open day fee: $90
Lic for first timers: $40
Petrol will be two full tanks. $80-$90.
Total = $220'ish.
PLUS risk of break down tow - $500+ (2hr drive)

Eastern Creek:
open day cost: $200
Petrol 1 tank - $40
Total = $240.
Risk of break down tow: $100-$200 depending on where you live. (30mins to 1hr drive)

Thats the reality of it.

I'd rather go to EC for peace of mind but if most of you are sure your machinery can take it by all means wakefield would be awesome.

either way I will be there if my car is ready. It would truely be a sight to see a group of vw's on the track. I'm sure the vortex guys would come as well.

I'd still go if there were only 3-4 guys going. I can't see there being much more from this forum.

It's $250 for eastern creek now it seems. Still an expensive day we need to make a decision on it quickly and make definite booking if it will happen. The Vortex guys comign will be sweet too!

I vote for wakefield, but I`ll come wherever we go. I`ll bring the van if I have to

I've been around Eastern Creek, but from what I saw - Wakefield looks safer - fewer things to hit

The two hour drive south (and back) is a pain though, I admit.
If we went there I think I'd be putting the GTI on a trailer anyway...
Two hours in the GTI is more than I could cope with, never mind the rest of the family

Tough choice.

In term of dates - I vote for any date except 20-21 January.
Preferably after, so I can get more things done on the car

would be nice for me to be able to say YES I'm going but can't till I get my car back : ). And I'm sure their be a hand full of small bugs to iron out as well.

Definately wakefield is much safer track.seen too many first time schumachers lose it on turn one and damage the paint work on the inner armco! haha
Wakefield is also a pain to drive to from sydney but the spectators get to see all the action from the pits.
Whichever its at,IM IN!! my upgrade is finished from tomorrow so im ready.

**peedman** · 11-12-2006, 03:35 PM

Im up for it although i probably wont be taking my golf on the track. I dont want anything happening to my car i cant afford it as a student

**EndlessMKI** · 11-12-2006, 04:53 PM

wakefield is better suited for our cars anyhow, being a smaller shorter track and much more technical then EC.

we should set up a pole soon so ppl can vote since we have a few hands for show of interest.

God I can't wait to rip my car around.
