yes,.. It has been rather quiet in the ACT section
If there is a cruise this weekend, I might bring the old KE20 out for some socialising..

3k + 4 speed = a very slow little rolla,.. probably won't be able to keep up
I'll keep track of this post, and see how the interest goes,.
Cheers

The 3K powered KE20 would be most welcome , it definitely won't be a race from point A to point B, just a cruise on some nice roads (that should be pretty quiet).
But like I said, I am open to any suggestions on cruise routes.
I went out and drove out to Orroral valley, Honeysuckle Rd (up to the site of the old tracking station), and around to Cotter via Tharwa (but the bridge is out at the moment so it would have to be via Point Hut). It was a nice drive, not bad scenery, reasonable roads.
Maybe a Saturday lunch time thing and just cruise to somewhere for lunch etc?

I figured most people would be busy with weekend duties so that's why I wanted to keep it flexible.
We can always stop at Tharwa for the best Pies in Tharwa.
Corin Road is another option, there is access as far as the slides at the moment.
I will fill in the details of the cruise as they are negotiated in this thread in the first post.

A trip to Wakefield to watch some dorifto sounds fine to me
Should be a wide range of ability on the track at this sort of event.
So the cruise is confirmed as being to Wakefield (to watch or compete if you're keen).
The meet up point will be the Shell Gateway (as it's on the way out of Canberra, it's the one at the gates to EPIC).
What time do people want to meet?
I will cruise up and watch until I get bored and then head home.

As usual drivers are required to have NON FLAMMABLE neck to toe clothing with suitable footwear along with their Australian Standards approved helmet.
Registrations are now open.
More details will be available shortly.

Anyone else thinking of entering?

Thanks for posting up the Wakefield info Steve.
I won't be entering (I love my car and don't like abusing it I'll save it for the CCG track day) but will be keen to watch, especially if some Canberra lads are getting out there to have a go!
How about we lock in a 7:30am departure on the dot. I will probably arrive 5 or 10 minutes before that as I like to sleep as long as possible
Gumby can enter the Skyrine, they are built for dorifto!

Thinking of having a go in the Sprinter, but without an LSD and a 4ac, I could only attack the tighter corners.
Gumby, we have so many stockies for that skyline, we can fill the van with them. You better burn them all up

A bit off topic guys, but does anyone want any 3k gear because i have almost 2 complete engines in my shed and they are going to the tip.
Just thought i would offer it up for someone to take before it went the the metal recyclers.
Did i mention FREE!!

So it looks like it will be myself (green corolla) and Steve (red Sprinter) at the Shell Service Station at 7am so far.
I am assuming that entry to spectate will be free or stuff all.
Pity you can't make it Jero.

I can picture it now, arms flailing everywhere, indicators being flicked on and off by the out of control arms, windscreen wipers going, fish tail, fish tail BANG
Nah just kidding, you guys will be fine. The only wall is on the straight and I am pretty sure they don't let big slides out of the last corner.

So Hasselhoff, will we see your new flashing red scanner lights fitted to the front of the green rolla tomorrow? I heard you've been approached to do a special "Knight Rider D1" edition for foxtel

T'was a good day out Pity I had to leave early, but I saw some good slides at least.
Steve, some nice driving and slides, very impressive, especially when you consider the open diff and massif power you were working with. Well done.
That old Ke30 sedan with the 202 in it was great to watch, that thing must have been hard to drift, but it did get some good slides going and was linking a few corners.
Not as many cars there as I thought there would be.
F$%K it was cold!
Later guys.
The Hoff.
