Hey guys,

There is another track event which is over 2 days. On the saturday is more of a practise run and sunday the regulars go to make points.

Im going on sunday with 2 others only because its more convenient.
Im also towing my car down on a tandem trailer ( not to be a hero but just incase i blow somthing ) the drive from Philip Island from melb isn't short.

Here is the link about the day and if you are interested, i have the supp regs form.

[ausgolfer]

I have to pull the plug........I picked up my new "track rims" saturday morning, had 2 good tires and 2 bald, put them on(why didn't I just keep them in the car....) and proceeded to drive to the tire shop to get 2 new ones......didn't make it.

Hopefully will be all repaired in a month or 2. :( My own fault and lucky it's not worse(was fairly low speed anyway) and that no one was injured.

Hey all,

I'm new to this forum and have found it a great resource when purchasing (and now while owning) my MkV GTI.

Anyway, I noticed this thread and thought it was great that there would be some guys from the forum at the PI event on 16/17 Feb. I'll be driving the GTI down there but will be doing the sprints in the "kermit green" Series 1 RX7 that I share with my brother. We've been running the car for a year now and it's been a lot of fun. We've previously done sprints in WRXs but the RX7 is a much more involved and exciting car to drive (although it takes much more work to get similar lap time to the WRX).

I'll be there on Sunday 17 Feb so look out for a Red MkV GTI and the "Green Beast" :)

Cheers,
Reuben
