Hope I got your attention, I was having trouble expressing just how much fun we had at a recent lap dash club practice day in my old home town on Tanworth just over a week ago.
I got word of a club practice day where we could attend and if we joined ($30 for 6 months) we could have unlimmited laps of the local circuit "OAKBURN PARK" which is a large go cart track for only $10 !!!
Before you all write off the track as too small becasue of its official "go cart" status , it was designed for by the local motorsport club for use by cars as well - Tamworth has a large club with many serious hillclimb and circuit racing teams.
Andy and Jamie from JT Autogas in Newcastle joined my Brother ( blue r32) and I up there for two days of tyre shredding mayhem.
Here are a couple of pics. There hours of vid footage, and if anyone can recommend a more convenient way to display pics or pics then please let me know.
Anyhow this is all leading to a proposal which i will soon pose to a club meting very soon to hold a club track/drift weekend up there later this year.
Pricing would be minimal, potentially less than $100 per car for two days on the track (all to ourselves) including camping at the track (with decent facilities) and bus tranfers into town for drinkies on the saturday night.
Anyhow it was AWESOME, the club up there needs financial help and would love to host us for a weekend, so I will be going back and taking others. Why not make it a Toymods event !!
heres some pics.... (excuse the poor quality - they are ripped off video and i was rushed)
Heres me, not doing to bad considering i have a fractured wrist and a full cast on my left arm !!

Jamie in the "BBQ" - this thing runs dedicated lpg and put down some very competitive times on the track. Its is a 2.2L 4 cyl turbo now - soon to be big twin turbo 1j powered !!

All thanks go to Jamie of JT Autogas - for logistical and techinical help all weekend - transporting cars/parts/tyres/rum. And to James (also of JT's) for his efforts in the pits changing my tyres 4 times in one day cos i had a broken wrist, and a heavy right foot.
We took home several prizes inlcuding best drift and fastest lap 6 cyl turbo (Andy). Fastest lap 4 cyl turbo went to Jamie in the ute. and I got the lawnmower prize for my spectacular 90+ kph "off" ( a great (deliberate) fishtail that got out of hand - or cast i should say).
enjoy
Matt
