Define local ;-)
Yeah we will need some fine tuning on the pearl but i hope to atleast have the suspension setup as a base.
The rest is normal stuff that i can play with at the track for once (so much time) engine etc stays as it is, so thats easy.

OK, unless we are swamped with entries this week, I will set aside the first hour for test and tune and getting acustomed to the track and our cars then we will start the competition.
We will do a walk of the track on the Sunday night when most of the interstate guys are set up in their garages and had a bite to eat. As there is light till 8.30, we will have time.
Gatesys, the circuit club pass is a free pass to any circuit club trackday held at wakefield this year. This was provided my one of the circuit club guys as a promotional offer to help entice entries for our trackday. Everyones number who enters the MTC will be trown into a barrel. a number drawn with the winner receiving the ticket, I also have a $200 voucher I won with MR2 NSW which will also go into the barrel. You and Tree will be in the same spec/speed car as amisivoy and adrian but these guys are well experienced and quick. You should ask these guys to take you for some laps to get you in tune with what your in for.
Admin is another one to talk to as he is a great guy with plenty of experience at Wakefield.
Was also thinking of a swap/sell aspect to the event. Any views on this?

Are there any wheel changing and balancing services at Wakefield?
I 'might' need to fit my R888's onto the car on the Sunday or early Monday.
Test n Tune first up on the Monday would be sweet :), gives those of us who don't frequent Wakefield as much as they would like to get a chance to get a groove on how to tackle the track and test out lines and limits of the car.

I hope to have the car sorted enough that Andy and i can take it for a spin and then see if we need to change anything straight up (just alignment and tyre pressures tbh)
Regardless 1hr is heaps, no ones trying to win sheep stations right?
Well Tree might want to eat a sheep station or two...

I am working on having the track car ready not the road one, 1ZZ turbo half cage at moment and all the bits I can get on it in time. I always fill up around lunch times on track days there as I Need to and thats in the Spyder and AW. I expect to be doing less laps with this format though and will have a gerry can as standby.

I could really use the early sort out session as I have not driven this car at all before, other than up and down my street.

Gatesys, your family is most welcome, they can work with you from your garage but will need to pay for accomdation if they are staying with us in the cabins.
Great to see your almost there pete. Will have you garaged with the other MRS.
The hillclimb and short circuit will be set up at 8am, so the 1 hr test and tune will be on the short circuit.

Quick one for all you Sydney people. My girlfriend and I will be convoying down in the AW11 and Impreza, we are trying to avoid traffic and busy roads so we do not get separated often. We will be entering Sydney region via the brilliant Putty Rd at Windsor. What do people suggest would be the best route to Wakefield part from Windsor. Taking this route: http://goo.gl/maps/xSGFS - Down Richmond Rd then onto the M7, M5 and then Hume Hwy Or this route: http://goo.gl/maps/rHUSf - through The Northern Rd then Narellan Rd and onto the Hume Hwy (Or Narellan Rd onto Rememberance Driveway and then onto the Hume Hwy). Good advice can be rewarded with beers on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday evenings at Wakefield :D
