Atleast no bush fires this year. We were lucky to not be stopped with all the spitfires on the way up hours before.

Starting to feel a little nervous now. Bit out of my comfort zone. Spending a couple of days with guys I hardly know. Who'd have thought I'd be going to a race track, especially on my own & taking my car on the track (even tho it will only be cruising & pics & stuff). Looking forward to it tho. New experiences are always a good thing
I'm keen on hearing on how those odd sized black round things on each corner of your car go on a track! Pretty gutsy though shazbot, only woman game enough to have a go. Don't forget the chilli burger challenge too.

Won't be competing in anything. Chilli burger challenger.......... I don't think so, I saw the effort from last year.
Tyres are next on the list to be replaced...... very soon.......

The best footage is from inside YOUR car around THIS track at THIS event :)
Would have loved to bring my car out but its a fair trek from Melb and can't get leave after Christmas holidays. So I'm unable to come watch even otherwise would have flown over for the day.

quite surprised everyone is so worried about their oil temperatures in their N/A's. Everyone forgetting they ran these cars in Japan (both Gen3 and Beams) in endurace series, and we are doing a sprint at best ;)
You need a turbo to worry about stuff like that

@B24,
I'm thinking of coming down with the EVO Steves on Sunday instead of Monday morning. Is that OK and is there additional cost if we do so?

Last question - do we need to have a fire extinguisher fitted to the car?

Just about ready over here. Been spending a lot of time at the shop (mostly helping Tree), and getting hardly any sleep. Changed my front wheel bearings because they were deflecting under load. Pissed off the electronic boost controller and installed a Turbotech. Brake fluid flush, wheel alignment, etc. Tried to install a new steering wheel but that didn't work out. Only thing left to do is a bit of tuning. I went out last night to dial it in but I still need some more time with it. So Sunday night after I arrive at Wakefield I'll be doing that. Totally pumped, looking forward to seeing you all there
