Overall it was a pretty good cruise. The quality of cars was awesome. The langley park meet point took about 45 mins to get to cause of city traffic so im not sure if it was the best meet point but it was a good area.
The cruise was good although they did make a mistake on the map where it said to take the second Pinjar Road entry which was actually Old Yanchep Road which threw a few people off. The wait for the lap was nearly 2 hours for most people which was annoying but I guess with that many cars it was expected. They should have let cars go on the track quicker. We only did half a lap as we didnt go on the main straight which would have been good but at least we got to drive on it. The 70 km/h limit was disappointing but I guess it was for safety so people didnt go 200km/h and lose it everywhere. Burnouts were pretty good. Overall a decent cruise.

The cruise this year was fine, it was the entry into Barbagello that wasn't. 45 mins to get in, 45 mins waiting to get on the track was pathetic.
As for the guy who did the burnout/nut and the official went off, while I don't agree with the way the official reacted and damaged his car/took keys etc, the guy was asking for trouble. It's a race track yes, but they CLEARLY said max 70kms an hour. If you didn't like that, then don't go on the track! Simple.
This guys basicaly said 70kms? **** that I'll do what I wan't. It's pretty safe to assume that if 70kms/hr is the max speed you can do, then burnouts probably aren't allowed. Yes everyone was doing them, but if everyone jumped off a bridge would he have done that too?
At the end of the day, you let bogans in commodores on a race track and burnouts will happen, so I doubt that the event will ever happen at Barbagello again. I don't know why they couldn't just have given everyone the form to go on the track when you paid your money and then you could have just handed it to them before you went on the track. would have been much faster. Looked like they let cars out on the track once every 2 mins!
I won't ever take the walky to C4C again. Too many ****heads in cars who think they know how to drive and entering into barbagello and doing that stupid lap up the top and back on an unsealed road... yep great for any type of car with a decent paint job. I turned around at the top and left.
The guy that did the burnout is a very good mate of mine, BOGAN umm NO! He is a very respectable man with a VZ Senator with plenty of other toys. Well doing a burnout doesnt mean u will go over 70kms now does it. The area where it was done was away from everyone stones couldnt of been flicked up an there was plenty of fresh burnouts. I even pulled off too do it myself since sitting in my car for 2 an half hours doing f**k all was a complete joke!
I was joking about the bogan bit! Seems no one got that
They made it clear no burnouts, so it doesn't matter how you spin it... he ddi the wrong thing... The official shouldnt have done what he did though.
But had everyone that did a burnout not done one, then all of it wouldn't have happened. As usual a minority ruined it for the majority.
Josh from PSS was telling each car not to do burnouts and max 70kms and they would say yep no probs and then drop a skid in front of him...

Walky mate... yeah I arrived at the start about 10 mins before everyone left and then I waited till most had left... I waited 45 mins to get into barbs and then once in did the lap to the top and then turned around and left... i was pretty disappointed that I couldn't catch up with ppl but that idea of a show and shine was a joke on gravel.
I will say that I think I could happily go the rest of my life without seeing another Chev badged lsx dumped on the biggest tackiest rims $600 can afford... Especially those with a billion gangsta stickers all over them. Cruise for charity makes me like newer bodied commies even less. I went for a lap on the track, I didn't expect it to take 2hours+ to get on. I said I wouldn't go after how bad 08 was, and I'm gonna say it again, I don't think I'll go again. I was pretty excited for the event, I guess I just forgot how lame sitting in traffic can be... And ask jack how much fun the twin plate is trying to creep forward cod the ****rag infront creeps it in their stock standard apart from exhaust auto...
