Still working on the idea of a weekend away for my wife and I.  Any estimates on accommodation costs yet? 

Its about $100 a night for two at the Bakery Motel, 10 min's from the track. Tell her you will take her '
Christmas in July' at Katoomba. It is held around the same time. If you are lucky it will snow while you are there.
If you are unlucky, it will snow while you are at the 6hr..lol

I had a chat with the organizers today. Looks like 10 teams will be taking part in the event. That is 10 cars on track at any one time so if you want a clear track for two days with a fair amount of track time, this could be a great option. Also, it a weekend which will not effect work.
Hope to confirm some drivers by Monday.
 

Hi Steve,
Count us in mate for the Wakefield 6 Hour, I will give you a call over the next few days but I can confirm that I am happy to enter my MR2 as part of your MR2 team, I will be driving and will also have a mate of mine (Ross) who will be there as my mechanic but will also drive my car on the day.
Can you please confirm the maximum amount of driving each driver can do, given that you need minimum 4 cars and 4 drivers, is it just the case that you have the minimum cars/drivers and you see how it pans out on the day, or is it more specific than that?
We are keen as, so I hope you get 2 more cars.
Speak soon.
Adam

Great to see you are 'on board' Adam. I will confirm maximum time later today.
Glenn/Admin, is also driving. We have sorted out a deal so he can drive my car.
I'm waiting to hear back from Alex and Dennis the Menace may also be in with a shot. Any more, and we will need to sort out a second team!
Our competition is Team Corolla from the Toymods forum. They are old campaigners who will be tough to beat. Ric Shaw has a team of RX7's entered. Chances are, we will run with their pace. He is very good at clearing the field to help manage constant times.
 
Also working on a team manager to regulate the campaign. 
Would be great to see a MR2 NSW member take up the role of team manager and race engineer but there are a few people who may come on board if they are not available. Race engineer is a kid in a candy shop for a IT nut.
Do you have a radio? Radio's are a great addition.Head sets are $70 which are ear plugs with a mic fitted into the helmet. Really helps with driver/team management.
 
Looks like 10-13 teams which means plenty of track time on a pretty clear track for 6 hours plus a full day practice on the Saturday.
 
Will organise a meeting in a few weeks.
 
Cheers
 
Steve

Thanks B,
Just checked the reg's to find the bad news.. Will have to sort out a pit board.
Are you thinking of coming over?

Im thinking about going up but not sure at this stage.

It would be great to see you up here but no problem if you can not make it as it is a long drive.
We now have five drivers with three SW20's confirmed for the 6hr. First time there has been a MR2 team to compete in a 6hr regularity in Australia.
Very happy to see this a reality.
It would be great to see a bunch of MR2 owners make the trek to Wakefield on the Sat or Sunday to say hello and show the rest of the car scene that the MR2 does exist and there are still passionate owners and drivers.
If Burstmode shows up, we will get some great professional photo's from their team of pro photographers.
 
The Team
 
SW20: 250+kw logged tarmac rally car, colour:red, estimated 'hotlap' time: 1.06. Will be running around the 1.10's. Both drivers are seasoned MR2 drivers.
 
SW20: 270+kw logged Super TT circuit car, colour: white/blue/silver, estimated 'hotlap' time: sub 1.06. Will be running in the 1.10's. Both drivers are seasoned MR2 drivers.
 
SW20 180kw street registered, road legal, colour: Silver, estimated 'hot lap' time: 1.11. Will be running on the 1.15's. Driver has trackday experience choosing to advance his driving skills with entry to the Wakefield 6hr. Known as 'MrPlow' on the forums.
 
CrewTo be confirmed.

Just an update on the 6hr. Unfortunately it is not looking good due to people stepping away from the team. Adam, his team mate and his Tarmac car will not be there due to work commitments. 
Ian cannot make it due to prep on his SW20 3SGTE.
Glenn due to prep on his SW20 track car.
Alex is still in, I'm still in but that is it for the moment.
 
If we can not get 3 drivers/cars in the next few weeks, we will not be running.
