(Vic Club)Great night-time Reefton Spur run -Sat 3rd Feb 07

Mon, Sorry to see you weren't happy with the members on that run. I guess the fact that they own an MX5 makes them loud and proud and you just have to speak up to be heard, like err Fatty was.

Lol Good work Fatty!

Nah I think it was the fact Im reasonably "loud" that prompted a few snide comments about my tattoos and peircings ectra.... I got the implied feeling that my cardigan wasnt the right tweed to be behind the wheel of a Mx5.

P.S. fig isnt a club member

ROFL...... Fig isnt so bad, at least he is upfront about being an ass.

hey sam... i ticked the box saying that i am interested in motorsport events, pleas contact me with more info etc etc, so maybe i will be hearing from you soon.

i am itching to get my little car out on the track. especially once my avo kit is fitted.
i am a total newbie, never done any form of racing before (never even really been into cars until i bought my mx5), but yeah i am really looking forward to it.

I'm guessing you're either Stew, Max or James. I have an email from Bill and I'll be in touch soon. Feel free to call me though at any time for Vic motorsport info.

Hi
Is there a thread or any info about club racing/track days?
To be honest i would be more interested to join the club only to do the track days etc. i have a harness and roll bar so far and i think i need a fire extinguisher in arms reach. I'm not sure if you need a proper race suit, i have one from karting if you do require it and of course a helmet.

Cheers
Glen

You sound like you're about 14/10ths of the way there. I joined and am still a member for the same reason. Motorsport and Cams affiliation. I don't bother with the country runs as I live in Geelong and it's always too far to the start and finish. The speed limits aren't all that attractive either.

We do 10 rounds a year and really is very relaxed with a great bunch of people. I can only suggest to you to save as much as you can on mods and spend it all on going around in circles really fast.

Have a good look through the motorsport part of the website. Under \"what you need\" there are a couple of items out of date. The Cams License is now cheaper and an extinguisher in a road registered car last 6 years.

The next event is a double at Winton. Driver training on the Saturday, a sure way to get that accellerated learning curve and sprint on the Sunday.

Give me a call anytime if you have questions.

(sorry to highjack the thread)
