Downshift Aus Coffee and Circuit day Queensland Raceway 21st July

Just wanted to let everyone know that there is another of these days on the 21st July again. Enjoyed the last one - see previous post, and for $ 60 you can't get more fun and being able to bomb around the track at your own speed, no helmet, but in a civilised way mind you!..... Last time was enjoyable, they had two rules, no overtaking on corners and have fun within your capabilities. I found there were quite a few cars on the track, but the session went on for an hour and a half and a lot of cars pulled into the pits and then you have a much more enjoyable time with fewer cars to contend with. It was a bit of a concertina effect at the corners for the first few laps.
 
But hey, if you want to pay a kings ransom, get in a V8 and have a grumpy git telling you what to do, go for it. I prefered to drive my own car and have some fun.
 
See you there, look out for the Green Spyder and come say Hi. Last time there was a Red SW20 and Myself representing the MR2 boys.

    Dave,
    would like to have a go at one of these so keep posting the details.
     
    Unfortunately the 21st of July is on our Run Calendar as a run day. Because of requests coming in we are going to focus on the co-drivers with the destination (read shops, cafes, etc. here ) so for me it will have to wait. So much choice, so little time.

    Oh well Walter, pity, but it is all over by 8am normally, depending on which way you are going I might catch up with you guys, especially if I tell my good lady that the partners are to be catered for in terms of some retail therapy....lol
    Cheers

    Sounds like a good day - Downshift at the break of dawn and North by Northwest during the day.  
     
    Usual meetup time for a run is around 9am if I'm not mistaken, attending both should be achievable!


    Go soothingly on the grease mud as there lurks a skid demon.

    I should have booked this last week instead of dragging my feet.

    Pity that, tried to warn you early, they get busy I think because the format is very easy and casual, but relies on the drivers not being idiots otherwise they shut the whole thing down straight away. Hopefully next time we can get a few more club members along.

    Dave, in planning the Run for Sunday we are starting a bit later (9.30am meet up for a 10.00am start) and the meeting place is north. When you have finished your leisure morning (latte to go sir, and do you require fries with that?)  you could join us for some real twisties up around Montville, plus the added bonus of the co-driver having time to do SHOP STOP! We haven't seen the Mean Green Machine for a while so let's go!
    Regards,
    Walter
