1:10's is a great time for Wakefield Brian, especially his first track day. Hopefully will see some members turn up on Monday! Take the day off and come on down guys..

there is an another open day at Wakefield this coming monday the 24th Just a heads up for anyone wanting a "no speed limit" blast

I did Eastern Creek yesterday, and as already mentioned it is very different vs Wakefield. Much quicker but more flowing - and somewhat less taxing on the car. Cost was $250 for the day, which included a (rather ordinary) lunch. It took me quite a few sessions to get some confidence, Here is a little video I took yesterday to give you idea of the track http://www.photothingo.com/users/1001/ec_0...2/ec_060322.wmv (30mb) You can see I over-cooked it in the end, doh. Video is a bit deceptive in terms of speed, I was hitting 200km/h on the straight, but some of the gruntier cars well over that. Btw the open day comes with instructors who give you some pre-session tuition, and in-car instruction also. Personally I think Wakefield is a bit more fun, rspecially for newbies. EC is a technical circuit and much quicker, but definitely worth doing.

Its about $50 pp per night for the cabins, I think they sleep up to 6 each. I am told the insulation in the cabins is rather lacking and it gets VERY cold in winter.

It's the most dodgy video mount available, but one of the best. And it works in the Fords too. Basically, just squish your camcorder in the headrest! Btw guys, you can order photo's of the day. There was a guy taking photo's all day, every car (I think he is there every open day perhaps). Btw2, Jeff that thing of yours is a monster, love the sound too.

Was good to meet you guys out there at Wakefield yesterday (I was in the car form the dark side, the red monaro). Was just going through video of the day and noticed I somehow managed a flat 1:13, here is a vid: http://www.photothingo.com/users/1001/0603...ield_060317.wmv (17mb) I might have some video of some of you, if anyone is interested.

Onya Max, we need some XR6T members along for the day. Trust me it's great, basically as many runs as you, and your car, can handle. It is a private event, thus you can leave you gear in the pits without worry of it being nicked too. Any drag racing newbies, there will be a pre-race session to show you how it all works, lights staging, burnout etc. and, no crowds! perfect for newbies.

Why is that? Everyone is welcome, and we get a great variety of cars. And a fair mix of turbos.

At least a dozen people on this board have been before (to a v8owners organised event). They are great days, especially for drag racing newbies.

We would again like to extend an invitation to XR6T owners, as in the past. Detail here: http://forums.v8owners.com.au/showthread.php?t=2039 Hope to see some of you there again

If it's an open day, I dont think you can book a spot (with the track anyway) you just turn up.

the dates available in March thus far are 1st, 6th, 10th, 8th, 13th, 17th and 22nd (I was at Wakefield the other day and got a list) Apparently the 1st and 22nd are to be avoided as they surround another event and there will be a lot of people there (testing I guess). Can non-XR6T owners attend? (some V8 Fodder for your T's!)

there are still a few places available

the list has been updated we have about 35 cars, room for a few more.. dont forget WSID will not be operating next wednesday the 26th (Australia Day). And as you know Animal (aka Ken) has arranged for the Lions club to serve up morning tea (egg & bacon roll / coffee, ect) and lunch!! (steak/sausage sandwiches & cold drinks). We will need to get final crew and spectator numbers from each of you early next week. There is still time to get in for the 30th, so PM me if interested!!

cmon guys we need some more Fords for the 30th!!
