The extra day we had this year worked out well for us SA guys. I'm hoping we'll be able to do the same in 2016...

Thanks Pat for supporting the CAMS Hillclimb as part of the MR2 Trackday Challenge. I know its not everyone's cup of tea but it certainly is required to make this a complete event. I also discussed the regularity with Pete and Aaron the other night. It will also stay as it allows for any car in the top ten to win the event not just the fastest car.
 
Yes it is the 11/12 and 13 for a open trackday. You can enjoy a few sessions in my car. Payback for Tassie!

Yes Rick, it did work out well. It will be back in 2016.

The Hill climb is a good addition to the event.
It reduces the big gap between NA and FI cars, plus because no one has extensive practice on the course, no one is faster purely due to knowing the course inside out (Like the Ian/Adrian Advantage on the full course :D)

For some reason I really enjoyed the regularity....

Well we will keep it the same as it has been for the last three years. There was a email about some drag races so will see what we can do. I have something in mind. Watch this space.
We need a drone! Would be very cool to have one of these flying around over the weekend.
 

Holidays booked! taking the 8th to the 18th off. Might see if I can squeeze some more tracks in whilst I am down there

Sounds great Eric. Look forward to catching up again. I guess we could spend a day at Marulan as its only a few km's from Wakefield. SMP is a possibility but depends if the track is open and there are some spots for us. Only issue with SMP is the cost. It can get up to 400+ for the day. The drag strip could also be an option with Aaron or Rob the best to talk to.
Guess I better do some homework on 2016. Time will come around pretty quick!

What's the minimum age for passengers at MTC?

Sorry for the late reply Rick. Minimum age is 16 years. Must have wrist to ankle non flammable clothing, sign indemnity form.
Just spent some time at Paul Brell's workshop. Paul and two other mechanics will be back in 2016. Said they really enjoyed their time with us and look forward to another great weekend. So we will have three from Pauls stable to look after the cars. It would pay (everyone) to have your car inspected and track ready a few weeks before arriving at MTC. This allows time for breakages only, not preparation when you arrive at the track.
One unfortunate soul did not check his oil which ended in a spun bearing and a full engine rebuild. Its a shame but a lesson learnt. Another believed he had a loose exhaust shield. Paul stated it sounded like a main bearing but the car went on unabated. Not long after this car had a hole in the side of the block and his weekend was over.
So, please make sure your cars are well prepared and if one if the mechanics states a issue, take heed as it may save you a lot of grief.
Sonic Boom/Katsumasa is planning on returning to Australia for 2016. If we can organise some support with storage and transport of his car, he will bring it over with him. Anyone interested in helping out, stand on the soapbox or send me an email.
