South Morang Friday Night Timing & Camping Track Day

[Flash]

What do you guys think about a big season opener to start the year off well?
I was going to suggest that we organise a dirt section before we start riding again, as no one wants to stop riding on a track day ;) .
Maybe we can canvas a few more stores and get a few more names etc.
Just a thought.

[Muzzard]

I am keen to speak to Daryl again before we start another round of
Motard Track Days regularly, like this year has been.
Emphasis will be on the availability of a night session say of 2-3 hours duration, run very strictly.
The idea is to have fellas out for a session first up for 30 minutes to allow everyone to get used to the deteriorating light and the artificial lighting as it comes on,
and then put one bike on the track at a time after that
and time you properly off the balcony,
to allow us the chance to group you before the next track day opener and save so much fucking around and people getting confused.
I can get my mate to make us up some little stickers for the track days that designate the group you are allocated and from then on you will also have a GPTC registration number as well allocated on that pre opener evening..
If you cant/dont come to the pre opener lap timing,
You will be allocated by what the general consensus of the regulars is, when you do attend later.
Stay tuned for details...

Is it possible to make is a Friday/Saturday otherwise it would count me out.

[Muzzard]

Nope.
We want the short access on an evening that doesnt have something else on, Most likely Monday/Tuesday which is already reserved there for Corporate nights unless there is no booking.,
suits the Corporate entities from Ringwood better too.

By mid January fruit picking will be under way & my availability will be sketchy, as with Flash, could maybe make it a Friday night with a camp or someone willing to put me up for the night. I try to keep my Saturdays free but it doesn't always work that way during the season

[Muzzard]

Ok,
Lets modify the game plan a bit and say for instance I organise an evening timing session on a Friday night and the Track Days opener the next day with camping onsite on the Friday, and we truck in some pizzas for dinner with Neils laptop ;)
How many of you would make the effort?

At least then I get a chance to be fresh in the morning as I'm getting old you bastards cause I'm sore all over now... :twisted:

[dangermouse1100]

Now i'd be in that for sure :D :D , do you think the rear tyre will hold out that long :D :D

[Muzzard]

There would be a charge for the Friday night timing session and camping/dinner as an inclusive, with the following track day fee for the Saturday..
I think that to charge a track fee on a rider basis of $20 for the evening session would be be fair although Daryl has to also be renumerated for the amenities we are/would be using.
So I suggest a charge of an addition $15 for the camping and pizza would be also appropriate.
You would be required to bring everything else yourself apart from what Daryl could help you with until the Cafe closed.

Basically you would be looking at a fee of $70 to be part of both the Friday night timing session and the pizza after, the camping, and the track day next day. :D

Need to know numbers right now so I can talk to Daryl this week.
All charges need to be also confirmed with Daryl too,
and are only suggestions...

Shit yeah! I'll make the effort :up:

[Flash]

:-k

Can we work out a date first, Australia day weekend is out for me. otherwise it's good.
I will forward the final desicion to FIrst Class and a few other shops and of course the usual forums.

[Muzzard]

How about you just say if you want to come or not and then you see if you can.
Theres 575 other registered users here.
Its already going to want to be around the 13/20th anyway wouldnt you already assume.
Like I said if you want to come just say so so I can at
least discuss the possibility with Daryl first... :roll:

[Wobbly]

All sounds good to me, I'm in :)

[Flash]

Of course I'm in I just can't stand it when people say yeah I'm in and then don't show sort of lets everyone down! I was just putting the date "I" can't go so if it is decided that it's this weekend then you'll know I'm not going to be there.

[Sibbo]

I will do what I can, but sounds good.

Dont care too much about camping out though.

[Muzzard]

Its safe to camp with us Brett,
Not a fifty cent piece in sight! :lol:

[Sibbo]

Fifty cent piece?

Camping without guns is not camping and camping without huge amounts of booze in not camping. Track day the next day means no booze the night before, so camping would be hard to manage.

[sprint666]

SOunds like a great idea guys, hopfully I will still have my bike. I if I do I would be more then likely a show, as I leave Brissie on the 4th of Jan!
Any way good luck with it its good to here that you are attracting more interest as well as offering so many opurtunities to get out on the track!!

All going well I will be keeping the DRZ, just depends on finances with the new race car we have bought.

Cheers

[Sibbo]

Whats the car??

[sprint666]

Whats the car??

Triumph TR7 V8

[Sibbo]

cool!
pics pics pics pics pics pics pics

[sprint666]

no pix as yet, car is in melb I am in Brissy, but when I get some I will throw them on.

[SMC690]

Sound's good to me on the Fri/Sat track day. :)

[speaksgeek]

Sounds pretty good. I'm pretty low on the ole camping gear except for a sleeping bag though.

I vote for Sat 13 Jan. I know I already have that sat off. Won't be another day off around then for a while I bet.

[Muzzard]

I have a good range of stuff for camping so dont stress Angus.
You have a bike and a sleeping bag what else do you need but a beer, a pizza, and a 'ground sheet' (Girl for you civvies) :lol:
I will hopefully see Daryl this week in Melbourne and discuss the whole plan with him...

[Wobbly]

I thought that was a 'field mattress' :-k

[Muzzard]

Fifty cent piece?
If you were camping with your mates and you woke up in the morning with a condom hanging outta your bum and a fifty cent piece in each hand would you tell anyone?
No?..
You can come camping with us then :lol:

Old Joke Brett...

[Flash]

Nasty very nasty!!! :lol:

[Muzzard]

I thought that was a 'field mattress' :-k
Field fucking mattress?
I was a Medic and didnt even get one of them bastards! :lol:

[Wobbly]

Mate of mine was an airframe fitter and that was his standard response when asked about women in the army :lol2:

[sprint666]

Just Swag it up boys, roll it out roll it back up cant go wrong.

[dangermouse1100]

Fri 12/Sat 13 would be preferred, if not will still do my best to be there

[Flash]

Soooo how about the dirt section anyone want to spend a few days there before the next track day?

[Sibbo]

Depends if you mean riding or making. Cos my answer will differ for the two options!!!

[Wobbly]

I'm happy to help out there ... I can either help build, or just roll around in it :lol2:

[Muzzard]

In regards to the Camping and Timing Weekend,
It will have to wait for a bit until we get sufficient numbers to justify the expense of the site hire for the advantage of sole use for motards.
If there gets to be sufficent numbers getting along early in the new season then I may look at it then.
With shaky numbers it wont fly...

[megahead]

i'm in for a timed session/w/end do thingo whatsit
hell i'll even put my hand up for workin in the dirt
can anyone get a dingo digger/bobcat?
i can drive them (so can anyone its easy)

[Wobbly]

I'm pretty sure I could drive one too after a few beers :D

[Flash]

I've used many a dingo(digger Sibbo) and bobcat!

[Sibbo]

I can drive a fork lift, dont know if thats any help......actually none at all. But hey, all you other bastards have special driving abilities, so I felt a bit left out.

Ash, dont worry, as long as the Dingo does not give it to you!!!

[Flash]

That's right!! Also it's not cheating if it's your Dingo!! :lol:

[Sibbo]

:rofl:

[Muzzard]

All brakes on!
We are not moving forward just yet and will be waiting now until Scott builds the enduro loop and then we will match up to that and build entry/exits and theres your new dirt section.
Once again takes the headfuck out for me.
No Camping/Timing Weekend either,
Too expensive for the amount that turn up.
End of thread....

[Sibbo]

Bolt cutters.

Start of thread!
