I have a spare pump here you can have. Not sure if it works, but hey, it's free.

No good!! 'trackphotos' told me about the noise when I got back and brought the rain with me! I think that kept many away as well - at one stage you could have floated faster!

I'm sure Ross will have some pics up soon on www.trackphotos.com.au and when they are, check out the white Corolla AE86!!

14 DAYS TO GO :!:

For the BEST value with your entry fee, have it paid by midnight tonight and save a few bucks - the schedule of entry fees is shown on page 5 of this topic :wink:

All paid up, CTP extension downloaded ready to print with the other paper work and only need to wash the car and swap the wheels over.

Looking forward to a great day and hopefully getting another second off the times to chase down Neil in his 1600 and get a few more points in the chase.

Do we have entry numbers yet?

I'm going to try to get a friend to come out and take photos for a bit. I've got every club day off work for the year, originally was intending on shooting them all but since I'm going to be driving them all now, someone else will have to do it.

Will I, wont I, will I, wont I...that's been the question as this is Lakeside we are taking about, not QR. Anyway decided to try it out at Lakeside for the first time. Racing around arranging the necessary stuff and paying the fare.

I have read the various groups all cars will be put into on the Club website....these seem to be different from the last QR day when there where 4 groups. I will be in NB Modified after reading the rules.

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a full face crash helmet from? Size 60.

Looking forward to testing the mods and running the car to my potential on the day. See you all there.

Those are the club championship groups, they only count for points calculations in each class. There will still be 4 groups of cars on track, sorted by time and not be class.

Two different things. Groups and Categories.

Groups 1-4/5 are based on lap times you circulate at, to reduce overtaking and make it more comfortable for all involved.
Categories relate to the Club Competition which, if you are a current financial club member, you get allocated depending on your vehicle model and level of modification.

Dont worry, Lakeside is not a problem, just dont crash
