Sweet as, Grant is coming aswell, but not driving, so hopefully a good video should come out of it

[Ben_20EJT]

if anyone from around the beaches needs a ride down, it will only be me in the impreza so got 4 seats free. pm me if you need a ride.

Aek, how do these things usually run? Noob friendly? I'm thinkin of representin the wagons, bit scared of mashin someones car though :s

[aekOne]

yeah mate noob friendly for sure

you should come down and we can be team silver wagon.

you just rock up and register and get into it. it's a good idea be to informed so have a bit of a read of their website (http://wakefieldpark.com.au) to familiarize yourself with the rules of the track, warning flags and safety procedures.

Also have a bit of a look at the track as it's good to know the circuit you'll be driving on.



Look here for a more detailed map: Wakefield Park

If you drive smart you'll have no problems regarding coming together with another car. it's not a race so you just go around at your own pace. if a faster car comes up behind you simply yield to the outside of the track or off the racing line and let them pass (there's no overtaking allowed through corners).

One of the reasons we're going on Monday is it's one of the quieter days so hopefully there won't be to much traffic on the track.

Here's a good clip of a typical speed off the street day (includes some passing)

Then how the big boys do it (Hankook Time Attack Car)

How would some of you guys feel if i signed in as a passanger for the day and jump in for a few rides???

they don't allow passengers during speed off the street sessions unfortunately mate. only instructors are allowed. during private days or race meets they can be allowed

[Adam]

Thanks aek, I'll see what I can do. If my car isn't terminal Id be keen for a run

[Ben_20EJT]

are you aek? I thought you could sign in as a passanger for the day.

[aekOne]

mate i'm 99% sure you cant ride shot gun on these SOTS social days. maybe give them a call to confirm though??

[Scuba-Roo]

Just curious if rain will affect the day? or how early they'll cancel the day?

[aekOne]

yeah rain will postpone the day. We just just gotta keep an eye on the forecast and make a call before hand.

so what are the plans lads?

Beaches guys wanna meet along the peninsular somewhere, coast guys wanna meet at Sutton Forest McDonalds??

[Scuba-Roo]

Sutton Forest maccas works for me, we'll probably see you along the hume hwy anyway

[Adam]

I wouldn't mind meeting up somewhere after picton road if anyone else is keen. If its too hard to work out maccas will do

[Ben_20EJT]

ill meet up with you aek, maybe on monavale road somewhere??? You may loss me but as im stuck at 100ish, as im still a green p plater.

Sounds like a plan mate

Where do you get on the Freeway (M5) mate? why don't i just call ya when we're near your entrance and you can meet us on the road

ill meet up with you aek, maybe on monavale road somewhere??? You may loss me but as im stuck at 100ish, as im still a green p plater.

the way we go is over roseville bridge then into the harbor tunnel to the M5 so maybe meet us in dee why or at warringah road in forestville

[Adam]

I'll be coming onto the highway either picton road (skydive centre/Wollongong turn off) or bargo (next entrance) but I still don't know if I'll be coming, have to decide if it's worth risking doing damage to my engine, which may already be sick as it is!

[Dylan]

[Scuba-Roo]

[Scuba-Roo]
