PCV Phillip Island

[alexwebster]

Second of the PCV track days. Certainly one of the best.

Cost has gone up to $195, but that is a full day of probably 4-5 runs.

The new novice class was a huge success at Sandown a few weeks back - NO DORIAN, NO FIRE EXTINGUISER, NO TRAINING NEEDED.

Hope to see more you there

So is the new novice class a permanent part of the fixture?

Cheers,

Paul

[alexwebster]

seems so!

Great Day all round yesterday! Wished more of you would have made the effort to come, as I think that you would have enjoyed the perfect weather, great track and quick times!

Marcus has set a new PB of 2.00!

At the start of the day I jumped in with him to help with some of his lines, and then he followed me for first 2 sessions - great footage to follow.

Then I let him past and he did a 2.00.6, which was almost a full 4 seconds quicker that he could previously achieve! Well done mate.

I also had a bit of extra improvement left after the historics, and managed to get my little 2.0 down to 2.01.41 so I am stoked as well.

Video should be up soon, most of it with great footage of Marcus following me, and me following Marcus, great to watch our little cars fly!

Next event is at Attwood in Early May, with some of you having been there before, you may want to come to a low-speed motorkhana type event?

Still buzzing of having my car in a full drift at 100-110mph!! Love it!

Well done boys, looks like that sub 2.00 is coming! I hope you caught the drift on video.

The videos are up - chased and being chased

Come on, admit it - you are absolutely gutted that Marcus beat you!!!! :-)

maybe time for some nitrous in the S to keep up??

[alexwebster]

Mate I was stoked and yet gutted at the same time! I wrung the neck of the 2.0, but with some suspension mods, I think it is capable of a sub 2.00. If I can do that, I will be stoked, as it will show that you don't need litreage to be fast!

That said, if Marcus cleans up some of his lines and gets some more committment onto the main straight he too will be under 2.00 so then it is history repeating! Good news for the 6 hour though!

[griffiths_r]

Looking good alex... one day when I get my car in the 6 hour you can teach me everything you know!

Philip Island

I've been trying to keep up with you guys club events... and your annual Historics.
I also have seen a Moto GP and some Supercar V8 races on Speedvision from this venue....

I have got to say that Philip Island (Sorry, for some reason I keep wanting to call it Philip's Island) has got to be one of most beautiful, challenging, and fast race tracks on the planet...... Those that are close to this facility are truly lucky.

Some day I'll see it in person......

Cheers mates,

[alexwebster]

Chuck, get over here and you can use one of our cars to have a fang around!

Some day I'll see it in person......

Cheers mates,

chuck

start planning for 2008 historics at the island

it will be on within a week of the GP ie early march (so all the US and eurpoean cars can make the trip and do a few events over a couple of weeks)

you can roll a bunch of events into one or two weeks - and maybe a road trip to sydney via the snowy mountains in between

you would have to go back home for a rest! - especially if the Websters loan you a car for the track

[reedminor]

Chuck,

Kent and I were discussing a US tour to OZ...

You guys probably drive further for an event than the flight from LA to Sydney...!

We'd love to host a few of you downunder... Kent was well looked after and we kept him well occupied in Melbourne and Sydney

Cmon you know you want to!

[hippo]

Justin,

Do PCNSW run any track days at EC?

Andrew

[reedminor]

Yes they do....I'll advise some dates.

There were a few early running at Oran park last weekend. Think I'll take the Drift 911L out and trundle around in Class E at least once this year.
