Yeh thinking might be pushing it. See u at 11

[brendans225]

ok ok, 11 am at auburn maccas, since it takes you guys about an hour to put your make up on

[sinist4]

nah its not that but we need to stuff our face for about an hour at maccas first

[EJ25]

I agree with Louey!

Earlier the better. Not a 10min drive from Auburn.

Phil.

i can show you the 5 min drive, but im a safe driver..

Not that I want to be a nark but.......... If its raining is it called off or we do impressions of the formula 1 last week.
Looked at website and could not find any info regarding rain

[brendans225]

its up to them to determine whether its called of or not

so even if its raining, and they say its ok to race, but we don't want too, then we lose our 500 bucks

so rain, hail or shine, its all systems go

[XRC15T]

Forecast looks fine.
Nothing wrong with a bit of rain, makes it more interesting.

all looking good still outside xD

[brendans225]

well what can i say? twas a great day

the day started at auburn maccas for the majority of folk, where we then proceeded to lunch, then to easter creek via the m4

however, coming off the m4 and turning onto the great western highway, king of the west brendon, had something wrong with his car, so a whole line of liberty's lined up on the side of the great western highway, happily parading the reliability of the subarus ............turned out to be a part of the intercooler piping that came off/loose, but that was fixed/patched on about 10 mins and we then proceeded to the karting track

the road to the track was dusty and rocky, and for some reason, Jimmy thought he needed to warm up the tyres there and was swerving from side to side on a few occasions

once we got there, we waited for the rest

stuart showed up next, followed by franky and mick .........mick didn't seem to take notice (or care) for the dusty and rocky road and happily drove like he normally does, and parked next to stuart, where a big puff of dust came off phat's car and smothered the clean red lib


race track time, and phil got the best helmut of all "scooba stebe" ........franky got a nice red uniform


heading onto the track.........coming out of the pits, Jimmy ran straight into the tyre walls, and that made most of us laugh our heads off ..........

first lap and franky got blacked flagged after passing me on a bit where no overtaking was allowed

phat then thought he would make his way through the field and decided to barge everyone out of the way

i spun every single session, and should have atleast got an award for that

a big crash on the last corner, where the pit entrance was.........two karts collided, and one was sitting half on top of the other, with poor phat being thrown into the kitty litter about 10 meters off the track

one the racing was over, we happily returned to our cars where we found they had been given a nice nice and dirt and dust bath

thats about all i can think off, but it was great fun
