Mate, you can count yourself very lucky.  I've seen the old "forgot the filler cap" trick before, and twice it's ended in smoke and flames - and one of those ended in an out of control blaze to the waterline.
 
Best of luck, wish I was joining you down there.

The MR2 Challenge – Day 2 – The Voyage, Part 2
We made it! Now chilling out in the Cabins at Wakefield Park.
  
Day 2 – Afternoon Update!
Around 3PM, MR2’s started arriving. Trav, Brendon and Ken arrived with Ken’s AW11.

And his insanely wide tires!

Tri and friend arrived at the same time.
Then The Pearl arrived shortly after.

Which after some investigations needed a clutch bleed

Tri was eaten by his car.

And eventually, Steve arrived.

Nearly ready to turn in for the evening to get a good nights sleep before the event (What, sleep before a track day!?!?!?!).

Great write up Aaron. Certainly had your ups and downs before arriving.

Highlander  If you weren't there, for whatever your reason, then you really missed out. 

I have definitely noticed this over the last few days of updates, even during buildup / preparations.  Green eyed envy doesn't come close.
 
The question is, how does Arron propose to drive both 20V TrackDub + 1MZ Skiddub and spares/tyres down for the next trackday challenge event?

Day 4 - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger....
It’s the full circuit today, so…

Fk ups and sketchy moments…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFZYGaq-Y90
56mins of full circuit laps..

You like hellaflush, you like stance? Well fk that ****, this is how it’s done

Started ripping into the R888’s now!

The awesome trophies that Steve organised, and the two Ken took home!

The winners

After the track day, what else is there better to do then pack up your gear, head back to the cabins and get some sleep? Going to the pub, having dinner while talking cars and consuming some beverages, that’s what’s better!
The Hibo Pub has what they call, The Hibo Hero Hot Burger… This meal requires you to sign a waiver of your life and comes with gloves and a glass of milk. Tree, decided he was man enough to consume this meal… 550+ people have tried, these boards show those who have made it… (Doesn’t say if they have survived though…)
And from here, it was all down hill…


And he quits… Good effort…

The evening continued with more drinking and partying back at the Wakefield Cabins.

Day 5 - Set Sail, For Queensland!
So it was time to head home… Sadly… We’d met some great people, made a bunch of new friends and had an awesome time on the track, but now we must head home.
We loaded up the cars.

Blessed the AW11 at the Wakefield Shrine (front gates), and began the trip home.

Into Goulburn…. For Breakfast, a massage (2 days of laps annihilated my shoulder) and some shopping

And found me a new race helmet

Went and had the R888’s removed from the AW11 and the KU31’s refitted

Then we left Goulburn behind *sniff* and headed to Windsor and Parramatta to catch up with some Toymods members for a Beer O’Clock. I also happened to pick this up from one of the AW11 Anons…

Yep… An AW11 tow bar…
 
Day 6 - Hot, Cold, Whatever.... We drive!
Once again, our trip involved 40+’c heat and thunderstorms that brought traffic to a crawl….
But after 10+ hrs, we made it home!

SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPP……

 

Looks like you guys had soooooooooo much fun!
 
Just a question though, do you know what wheel size, offsets and tyre size he is running in this pic? Is this his street setup?
 
On another note, he must be running some seriously stiff springs to have his track tyres that wide?

Knightrous

Day 2 - Afternoon Update!

Around 3PM, MR2's started arriving. Trav, Brendon and Ken arrived with Ken's AW11.

I believe the tires shown in the photo are 225/45R15 Nitto NT01 tyres. Taking a guess, I'd say the rims are 15X8 or 15X9 offset I'm not sure due to there being some 20mm or 25mm spacers bolted on to fill the flares out.
