This is the weekend after the NSW club does their Wakefield day isn't it?
Will see how things are panning out at work for taking a day off. The NSW club's track day sounds pretty full on with three events on a Sunday, and since I've only done one track day, I'm a bit apprehensive about attending that one.

I'm interested to see how you go on the track with those tyres too. You'll have to let me know if I don't end up at this track day.

There's not usually official timing for these type of things. You can however bring a stopwatch (or your own lap timing gear).
The Mania track days have always been good fun though. Even without timing it's a great chance to practice your driving and you always get heaps of track time (in fact turbo people will want to bring extra fuel). In fact, without the pressure of timing it's a good time to actually concentrate on driving right - finding the right lines, brake marks, etc.
Are any of the race cars coming Ajay? They're always good to watch flying past.

Umm, yeah ...

Don't think Mrs Q is letting me back to EC but Wakefield has a green light.

yeah... oops indeed. You cut our round short too dammit!

Anyway, I should be locked in for the club's Wakefield track day, so I dunno about going again so soon and needing a day off work to boot. Will think on it some more and see where it lands me.

I'll most likely come to this day, but can't be certain 'till a week or two. If it starts getting full put me on the list.
Yeah. I'm suffering from withdrawal big time at the moment. Can't wait to try out the newly surfaced track... ....a few times
