I think mr walker needs his arse kicked at the drags but I won't be able to make it due to work commitments.

mr walker the club hasn't got back to me at all about sunday, but you will find that the guy in the new gt is the president of the club and the social director so he probily dosn't care about the drags.

anyway its a normal street meet on sunday so anyone can go.

Let's just arrange our own deal and nominate a date to enter the street meet.

One day in late September or early October is probably OK for me. As much as I enjoy "playing", you can have too much of a good thing. There's still other stuff to do that needs to be done.

Correct.

September 21st is the last Sunday street meet. It goes to the Wednesday nights in October sometime.

There is a street meet/test and tune on the 28th, but only for ANDRA licence holders.

Thanks 1axr

I am curious to know just how many XR6T's that have landed in WA Do you know of any listings that would show the numbers delivered by state?

I was told by my dealer that mine was no. 42 delivered into WA, anyway maybe someone out there might know Cheers :D

1axr, kicked rhymes with licked and trust me, that's what you'll be doing.

Davo, Wanneroo cost is $140 on the day and maybe $5 or $10 for day membership. Other requirements are fire extinguisher bolted in place (not screwed) on a metal clamp (not plastic) + blue triangle to denote battery position. Next trackday is an afternoon sprint on 28th September at Wanneroo - I won't miss this one as it's the last for the day.

For all you Sou' west folk there is an event at the Collie track on October 19 - always a great day, I'm going.

As for Wednesday night street meets, sure the air is colder but the track conditions are usually crap. Depending on how long you want to wait, there is a closed day (I'll get you in) on November 9 - full days racing limited to about 50-60 cars so you can get heaps of runs in if you want. The night before is a full on drag meet (can't remember whether it's doorslammers or funny cars or something like that) so the track will be excellent. Last time this happened most people dropped between 1-3 tenths with no mods and it was a hot day!

Anyway, I'm definately going on November 9 so if you're interested let me know.

ALEX YOUR A POET AND DIDN'T KNOW IT.

but seriously it would be good to get to gether again and see what our beasts can do. I think I'm working on the 9/11 but it is early days yet and I may beable to get around that.

grandad, I don't know how many xr6t have come into wa but it must be heaps by now.

[DavoWA]

I'd seriously like to do a few laps just to see what the car will do, but I'm not prepared to swap the extinguishers form the Jag into the Falcon just yet.

The other thing is that $140 is a bit steep for just a few laps. I don't want to do a whole day of "playing", partly because the car hasn't had the brakes and suspension set up for doing it. I spent a few quid on the Jag for that purpose, but at this stage, I don't want to spend the bucks on the XR for what will probably be a one off. :(

The 9th of November definitely looks OK, and don't forget to come and have a look at the Autokhana on the 14th of September. You need the Cams licence if you want to enter, but not the fire extinguishers.

The 2 clubs going to this meeting are the Porsche club and WRX club, so if you want to see how a real car goes, come on down!

Davo,

The afternoon sprint on the 28/09 is a half day and I think that's only around $90 but I'll have to check. I'm the same as you, I don't want to spend money on track capable pads that wont be great on the street as it will be a one off and just like you I have another car for these events.

A poet? - I ryhme all the time...

Could well look into that, but still don't really feel like swapping all the gear over.

Wonder if a couple of quiet laps at the end of the day might be possible....... :idea:
