Just spoke to them . We MUST book ahead. They are crazy busy. I booked for up to 20 people , but the Hotel needs confirmed numbers. Booking is for Friday 8/1/21 @ 7pm. Please reconfirm numbers over the next 48 hours. I call the Hotel again no later than Friday night and have to confirm numbers. Anybody who stays Saturday night as well should make prior arrangements for dinner , no matter where you go. This is the advise I was given by the local chap from the 'Northo ' Hotel. At the moment it looks like 15 people , or close enough , for dinner. 9r 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 29December, 2020 Report Share Posted 29December, 2020 I am about to cancel my Glider City reservation, if it is of use to anyone please contact me, I am sure I can have them re-allocate the booking to you, or re-book you upon my cancellation.... it was highly subscribed for those dates when I booked, its for Friday through to Sunday. hugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmarks Posted 30December, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 30December, 2020 Looks like things are shaping up nicely ... I confirmed breakfast and all day coffee is sorted FOC. Lunch maybe also depending on how much money we have left in the tin. Now for some logistics. Everyone get a garage. We’ll work out who goes where but if you simply cant live without being with someone ... let Hugh know. The idea is to mix the deck and get people mixing. One of the plans was to have a BBQ at days end but I’m not sure I can make that happen- and it appears that many are staying local on the Saturday night so will have dinner sorted. But the Cabernet will still feature. I’ll hit the budget up for nibbles to go with the Cabernet. We’ll also have beers (light and heavy). Can I ask for any volunteers to help hit the local Woolworths for the nibbles and beer? Speaking of volunteers, is anyone up for a little marshalling and organising first up? Winton will manage sessions etc but we may need a few bodies in the morning. After that it’s going to be pretty cruisey. We might also need a couple of people on the skid pan. Not sure if we can get a hold of witches hats for a bit of a course but we’ll ask Winton. Please also send in your disclaimers. Other than that, see you all there. hugh, Arne Krix, Redracn and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for quicker/easier steering, but crap for tyre longevity 😁 Mine weren't semi slick/R comp tyres too, so I imagine they would wear out to the canvas much quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bounce on landing knocked the rear left toe to an outward position (read: not fun on a GT3 in any case especially when you’re new to the car). It was certainly a baptism of fire!

As I've mentioned before, just suss out where the walls are (T2 & 3 and maybe 4 if you're on it) and the run off areas where you can get on it a bit more.

DavidW•GT3• Posted 3January, 2021 Report Share Posted 3January, 2021 I'm unfortunately a late withdrawal. Was holidaying in NSW and didn't manage to get back to VIC until Jan 1. Now have 14 day mandatory home lock down. Been tested, no symptoms, but thought it best to follow the rules and not risk everyone's health. Have a belter everyone.

I'm just hoping the drawbridge stays down across our moat, and that I can can get back to Tassie without quarantining. Next 4 days will be interesting.....
