Hi peter,
Sorry, nothing happening tomorrow. We just threw some dates out there and let the thread develop, it became the Euro Day at Lakeside.
Great to see you have booked,did you book a VIP package. If so PM me the name you booked under and I will call Qld Raceways on Monday to make sure we have 5 spots side by side.
If you want I can meet you at Nudgee service centre(McDonalds car park) off the gateway at 6.30am so we can make our way to the meeting point together.



If not we will see you at the Meeting point,see below.

Let me know what you are doing, I will meet you at either.

No worries James. Can we make it 6:15am? That will give us 45 mins to get to Maccas. Should be ample.I just gotta muster the 3 kids in the Blue Goose first!

Mate cant wait!

 

Sounds good to me

Cheers

Sounds like it is all coming together.
I have to make a quick dash to Melbourne Friday and arriving back in Brisbane midnight Saturday, will see you all at the meeting point. Maybe half asleep but I will be there.
Just spent the day cleaning Fireball and fixing the manifold gasket since I was going to do that Saturday afternoon.

 

Man your gonna need some of that Maccas coffee next Sunday!

Careful it gives ya tha runs!

(drive safely though mate)

 

My neices 21st. Kirsty and Sarah were going on their own. As I was working and had Euro day, Sunday. But my shift got changed yesterday and it was pointed out to me by more than one I was missing a 21st for a day with car guys.
Can't argue with 3 big sisters, my mother and her indoors can I.

Compromise, I get Friday/Saturday to catch up with family. Stay for the first few hours of the 21st then "red eye" it back to Brisbane to for a day with car guys.

Everybody is happy!

 

Dedicated Jag enthusiast!

Good on ya mate. It wouldnt be a QLD Jag Forums meet without ya!

 

Clarke,

Would an Announcement at the top of Queensland Region help get the word out or have you directly contacted all potential attendees?

Graham

 

Just this minute finished sending PM's to all Qld members on the roll call. Thanks for the offer, it can't do any harm. May even bring some out of the woodwork that aren't on the roll call list! (or the few that don't accept PM's)

 

thanks for the invite, I have other events as well on that weekend so when thing clash I go to the closest thanks again please keep up the great work one day i'll get to meet you. cheers jim.

 

See you Sunday, not sure if I will get time to get back to this thread before the day. Out of town and I don't own a mobile device with internet.
See you all at Kallangur Makas, 7am.


that phone is for real,not even a camera. But it has worn out 3 leather cases since 2003.

 

You mean a phone that actually makes phone calls? Ridiculous! Lol

 

Just had a call from QR Raceways

They are not sure if the race will be a sprint of a 1/8th mile drag.
Let them know my preference was for a sprint as 1/8th mile is a bit short

Cheers

Just had an SMS from QR Raceways

The track challenge is 2 Timed 5 lap sprints
Trophy's for the three fastest laps and overall three fastest

Dont think I will be in the running as I'd still be learning the rack for the second session

If you want in for these you need a helmet, closed shoes, long sleeve shirt and pants. There is no scrutineering, you just sign a form that the car is registered and roadworthy


Cheers

Thanks James, Helmet/jeans and long sleeve shirt were packed in the boot on Sunday when I cleaned and covered the car just in case. I new that would be the bare minimum if I decide to cut a few hot laps on the day.
The closer it gets the more I think I will have a go. I did thousands of laps of that track in 1988-1993 in gokarts,cars and bikes, I think I still know where the slow line is to let the fast guys through(lol).
I know the track, but know I will be the slowest out there.
Doe's the fire extinguisher have to be in the passenger foot well? it usually doe's for track sessions.

 

No requirements for the cars so no extinguisher is ok
You just need to sign a form saying the car is ok

The only requirements are for the driver

Funny thing is im always ready for the track with the red tow hooks and extinguisher fitted. The fog lamps always have the contact film fitted as well. The battery and tow stickers live in the boot ready for attaching

Ill just throw in my race bag and im ready to go

PS they don't even want to check the helmet spec and date so any old one will do

Cheers

All my helmets are spec anyway, and extinguisher is in the boot. Hope I don't need towing,not many options on my car.

 

This is gonna be awesome. You still doing the cruise as well Clarke?

Also, not sure if you guys been following their faceboom page but they are gonna have some cool Euro autos on display including a Porsche 962

Hopefully see some racing Jaguars also as they had a GEARs event many months ago now with a TWR XJS and also an XJ6-C with all the sports body kit and racing livery.

Fingers crossed.

 

What is the url for that page?
