Round 2 Winton 12/08/07 with AROCA

Postby Samselectrics » Mon Jul 02, 2007 12:23 am

This will be a championship round but it will serve well as a practice for the 6hr.

Entries are on our site. This is the last AROCA Winton prior to the 6 hr so I'm expecting everybody to have the same idea and use this as a practice/ testing session.

In other words get them in early.

I think they're looking at doing some long runs so we can practice for the 6hr.

For those going on Sunday morning, Shell service station at Kalkallo on the hume for 6am departure. That means 5:45 kiddies. oooooo Some people are going up Saturday afternoon if anybody is interested.

I wish I lived in Benalla or they moved it to Geelong. Then I could sleep in.

I will be at the Shell at 5:45.
This is the shell at the corner of Donnybrook rd/Hume Hwy?
Now all I have to do is pass my epa test tomorrow morning and then return the car to race spec by Saturday night.

i had such a great time. big thanks to everyone involved for being so helpful to me on my first track day. i was pretty slow compared to the seasoned veterans but i still had a blast, and hopefully i'll only get faster from here on in.

I must say I had a great day too. Have always enjoyed Winton and it was great to be dicing so closely with Rob in the SP. Really gives you some motivation when there is someone so close to dice with.

Matty,
There where a few timing errors.

Rain,
Yeah the EPA was not great. Passed the initial test but they now want me to prove ADR compliance. I am working on a way around it at the moment, just trying to sort out the best option.
