Guys, I will be heading down to eastern creek to see how the new suspension on the 205 handles turn one, flat chat I hope!

Its open to any road registered car on Saturday and costs $110 for the whole day. Its going to be quite busy I think as it has been advertised on Nova.

I will also be running a few laps in the 405mi16.

Come down, it would great to have some pugs to play with.

damn, if it we're next week I would have come, im getting a new cam put in my 405mi16 on monday... I live really close to eastern creek...
 
If it's being advertised on NOVA, I'd be a bit hestitant on going myself.

I'm looking at going down to Wakefield in early May though...
 
I don't listen to Nova so I'm not sure of it's target audience, but does this indicate a certain type of person or driver or car is likely to turn up? too much RICE for the day maybe?

I'm still looking for new tyres so a day on the track is probably out (maybe I should go just to really finish them off..) but a new camera is just crying out to be fully tested here for the day and maybe I could add a few pics to the current 'rice it up!' thread in the humour section........

Hmmmmmm, Wakefield in May sounds good though......

Cheers
 
Correction, Nova was advertising the drag meet on the Friday night! Saturday was not mentioned, so it should not be so busy.
 
Are there any additional costs, Parry? I guess I'll need to hire a helmet...licence costs?

I dont think you can hire a helmet at eastern creek, there are no additional charges.

HOW TO EXCEED THE SPEED LIMIT WITHOUT GETTING FINED

Motorists wanting to drive fast without getting fined or locked up for speeding now have a safe location to test their cars performance.

Those prices are unreal! It's great to see Eastern Creek finally coming down to earth with their prices.

I think there is a big market in track days, and Wakefield Park has been cashing in on it for a long time. Bring on the competition!
 
Pary,

did you go? how did the new suspension take to EC?

Has anyone else gone?
 
I never made it - any reports from anyone who did? Crowds? Participant quality?

It was a busy day, especially when they had race cars there as well. Everybody got 3 20min sessions.

The groupings were very good from what I saw, I was grouped with L2S Cams drivers and we were able to overtake anywhere on the circuit.

Our little pug pug performed very well and once again embarrasing a few quicker cars.

There was some very nice machinery there!!!
