Yeah, if ya going to Archerfield though i suggest taking the obligatory XXXX Gold bottles for breaking and smashing over peoples heads afterwards... it seems to be the norm for down there. I'll be there at about 6:45.

Bitter is better, but then we're talking acacia ridge here mate, Golds are cheaper... And look at this, 3 posts and its off bloody topic already.

all beer tastes like ****.. go the red bears :roll: 440ml @2 bucks a can... how can u go wrong jeffo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Nothing wrong with a good brown water... you're just soft Jeffo. Personally i like nothing more than coming home to a good crown lager after a hard week at work. Now back on topic for all of about 5 minutes, who's goin to the burnout comp?

not me but ill drink some beeries

"Nothing wrong with Brown Water" Too right, bourbon all the way. :mrgreen: Oh and its a Brisbane thread, you've got bugger all chance of keping it on track. Why cant Willowbank have a Test and Tune on a Saturday? Im sick of all the T&T days being on Wednesday. I gotta work when they are on. Really annoys me.

I'm workin till 10:30 tonight, so wont be out at the burnout comp. Been there a few times, not too bad - the burnout pad has no immediate barriers, so no dented up cars if you come loose or swing the donut to wide...

Pete mate the next Test n Tune on a Saturday is on April 5 i think, don't quote me on the exact date yet though.

ahh. well that ill be our cruise weekend. dam it :evil:

Mmmm.....Beer 8) And whats with the test N tunes, and approx idea of fee's?

ok a test and tune is where anyone can race any car at Willowbank. You need to wear long pants, a long sleeve shirt, and a helmet to race. Costs are $30 to race, $15 for an adult and $12(i think) for Kids... racing entry gets one other person in as pit crew.

i am going to try and be there at the test n tune. What a better place to blow up my engine then 1 hr away from home and in front of an audience

can you hire helmets from anywhere ? cause who wants to go buy a helmet just so u can drag ya mate(s) legally cheers trav

I don't think you can hire them there, but then anyone willing to prove me wrong here please do so. Cash Converters usually have a good range of them for reasonable prices. I picked up my Motocross style one for about $75

I picked mine up for $650.00.... you get what you pay for.. I personally wouldnt buy a second hand helmet. :mrgreen:

I can see your point in not buying a helmet... but then when you're not running quick times (e.g. 10's) a brand new 100% safe helmet isn't too big of an issue really. Good new ones are around the $500 to $800 range.

hmm i like to keep my head in good condition.. i would rather be assured that my helmet is not going to crush should the unthinkable happen. on the other hand $650 gets my car some nice little "go fast bits" :mrgreen: i am keen for a track day.. get some laps times going. thats where real skill and handling comes into play. not that i have either but it would be fun jeffo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
