Yeah mate great to see so many big HP cars together - esp my brothers from Wellie with the monster JZA80's :twisted:

Club 32 is gone mate but a new forum is just around the corner and it'll be even more irreverant so look out :lol:

Jimbo will be running it with me so you'll be most welcome to hang out there :wink:

Andy awesome day mate I'm already planning my next day I think the 5th or 6th of April at Manfeild so I'm really into that.Got home and guess what was waiting my rear slicks go figure never mind.

The people were great met plenty of people and the 25 odd people at the dinner was all good as well.I was absolutely shattered though with the 4 and a bit hour drive home though F**K me.Also have to say it was a proper group track-day alot of mingling no split groups which is a good thing at most days people who don't no one another tend to stay to themselves but not here I really liked the atmosphere or I'm better than you attitude's.I think the group dinner and beers kinda broke the ice which was very cool.

Sounds like it was an awesome day - though where do you get that?? You must be hanging around the wrong people

Yeah Dan it was a fantastic day; I thought you n N1zmo were gonna come up? We had the best line up of cars ever!

Coryn, the slicks late arrival was a gift for your coming April day.........you have to have new toys everytime you go to these days

It was a great atmosphere aye, the key was like you say having that mass dinner n drinks and staying in the same place. The Silver Fern is gerat for that ans so is the Raceway Motorcourt in Fielding - both racer friendly

Next day im putting on is early November at Manfield!!

No not at all but some track-days I have gone to over the years I've met some people who think there the 2nd coming of Michael Schumacher one guy that springs to mind was a guy who turned up at Manfeild about 3 years ago with a EVO 9 and thought he was the man but unfortunately we had to use him as a road cone going down the back straight.Just walking around the pits like he owned the place though after that run he pulled his head in though.

^^^ Heh, but you guys used everyone as road cones at manfeild

.... One example being myself, a friends honda Prelude, a civic and I think a mk1 escort into coke corner as your brake calipers melted to your discs :lol:

. That one was a close call, lucky you only got a bit of paint damage from the tyres
