I drove it from Launceston down to Baskerville and needed earplugs. Mind you he is thinking of selling it, could be a good sales move to show it off BOSE noise cancelling h/phones will transform the drive experience ..

Skidmarks Posted 15September, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 15September, 2020 Righto then. We have a date. I’ve pencilled in 9 January, 2021. There are no Saturdays in December available. I’ll have some more details on what’s required $ wise but will haggle. I’ll do my calculations on getting around 20-25 people paid up and proud to use the track and related facilities and if people want to use the skid pan to unleash their inner bogan, perhaps a small contribution for that as well. I’ve had contact from Hugh who has kindly offered to assist with getting this thing together but perhaps one more to help out would be good. As we have the wine covered, we might look at a contribution to cover BBQ and beer for those that come and hang out. If anyone knows a butcher with a P car that could do us a deal ... I’ll also see if I can’t wangle some beer from someone. Also, if any of you want to organise to get some cars together for display or some show and shine or just group cars in a way that makes it look nice, don’t hesitate. This is everyone’s event and I’m keen to let people just do their thing. Space is not an issue. Like I said, it’s not a track day but rather, a day at a track. I don’t need commitments now but don’t hold back if you’re able to. Stay tuned. hugh and edgy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodness me! Do you drive that around the local beef cattle farms just to give the paddock residents an insight as to what comes next? I’ll just check with the local CFA as to whether we need a fire tender on standby when you fire that sucker up. firstone and edgy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skidmarks Posted 18September, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 18September, 2020 A sports update. I’ve been able to negotiate a deal that will allow us to take passengers in cars. There will be some protocols around this Such as what you and your car will need - brakes is always a good start! Should be fun!

TwoHeadsTas Posted 24September, 2020 Report Share Posted 24September, 2020 Just thinking about options for bringing car over etc. With this event on 9/1 and then Luftwasser 2021 on 6-8/3, I'm thinking about possibility of leaving the car over in Melbourne during the intervening period. Any Melbourne peeps have space for an extra car for a couple of months, or suggestions as to a place to leave the car? I could possibly leave out at Bacchus Marsh with my daughter, but I'm not sure of a secure place there, seeing as we haven't been able to visit to check out her new place.
