the supra would do alright on a trackday ie laps or quater miles but i dare say for the motorkhana's it would act like a whale and do not so well

the celica is non 4WS and smokes like a $&#$% train it would be hilarious at the trackday

so who is definatly coming down, depending on numbers we may be able to sleep you guys in the flat, as were moving into a new flat that will have a few spare rooms, and can sort some beds

otherwise if you guys wanted to stay at a motel this one is good

supra needs a few urgent maintenance items (oil, oil filter, fuel filter, sparkplugs and maybe coils)

so until these get done (time and cashflow allowing) i wont be taking it anywhere :P

if worse comes to worse might just have to take the smokey celica

heres hoping i can get it sorted before then!

on another note - i tested out sitting in the car with the helmet on - i didint realise it was such a pain in the ass!

since the helmet is a ruddy great MX helmet even with the peak off it takes up a good deal of room and makes for an uncomfortable driving position to get it working ok - will the organisers pack a tanty if i take the roof off for the events if the weather permits? as it would make things easier but i have a niggling thought it would make the organisers have a fit?

Cant comment on wether or not they will let you go roof-less on saturday for the trackday, but shouldn't have any issues for the motorkhana on sunday as they're abit more relaxed with the rules.
