Bring a jumper as it gets bloody cold down there.For some more info, check out the thread for the last day we went out:http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=23235And the Wakefield Park Website: http://wakefieldpark.com.au/There are no weekend dates available in August. However I have chosen August 31 to give possible participents enough time to organise a day off work.There is a general open track day on Thursday August 31.It'll cost you $90 for the day$40 for a Wakfield license (valid for 12 months)and $20 for a helmet if you don't already have one.Wakefield Park is 15 minutes out of Goulburn, and we will be meeting at Pheasants Nest (Mobile Service Station) at about 6am for a 6:30 sharp departure.Pheasants Nest is about 30 minutes South of Narellan Road on the Hume Highway (M5).So who's going?Cro + 1NOSXRGavin.KRAP1DTurbo6mandrcookRussXR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
