matman 1498 Posted March 24, 2013 Sounds like a plan . So we could use it on 1st or 3rd week , IF we wanted ?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo 1201 Posted March 24, 2013 Sounds like a plan . So we could use it on 1st or 3rd week , IF we wanted ?. Initially we have to piggy back a club day. Adrian has no problem with us taking over the track for the arvo. Also it sounds like there is a few chaps down there with vintage stuff including Tamiya ! #Edit# If the general consensus is that we would prefer to run in the morning on a non club Sunday, please chime in and I can ask the question. Where I have left this is I've told Adrian that I'll get back to him once we have agreed on a date that suits everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For April the 2nd or 4th Sunday would be great. As for the month of May my work schedule might vary, which i would have figure out late April. Cheers.

Madmuz77 19 Posted March 28, 2013 I went down to the track for the Bombshell classic, didn't speak to anyone just went to check out the track & watch I bit of racing. sounds like they are going to let us have the run of the track, how does everyone want to run? do we want to have races or just drive around like last time? & what cars is everyone going to run?

Thommo 1201 Posted March 28, 2013 I'm quite happy just to run around the track, get plenty of free laps and get some good pics of our cars. If we get to run some races, then great! I'm bringing my Astute, Egress, DB01, Holiday Buggy and my Brat if it's finished in time. Can't wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tipsy 7 Posted March 29, 2013 Agree, just a run around the track. If we find we have a few of the same cars, maybe we could set up a little bit of racing. From the pictures above, is this how busy they got? or is this a before/after event shot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beetlebanger1 6 Posted March 29, 2013 can we get some directions /location up n so i can plan a route .i like to prepare thats all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo 1201 Posted March 29, 2013 Here is a link. You enter the park straight off the end of Aldis St, Greenwood. http://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=aldis+st+greenwood&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&oe=utf8&rlz=1I7DDAU_en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&ei=Q7pVUaK5H4WokQX1mIG4Cw&ved=0CAsQ_AUoAg @Tipsy, I wouldn't say it was busy. It's a small local club. I also noticed they have some Hot Shots on their home page now. http://www.carinerccc.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo 1201 Posted April 16, 2013 Hi All, OK, here is an update. We are confirmed for Sunday 28th April at Carine RCCC, Penistone Park as per my last post. Adrian expects them to finish their regular Sunday racing by 1:00pm and we can run on the track after that and for as long as we want. I think we should all try and get there for 12:00pm for a catch up, shoot the breeze, get cars ready and also check out a bit of club racing. Adrian has told me that if this goes well, he will consider allowing us to use the track for future meetings on our own Sunday morning. He just wants to see how this goes first. I hope that you all support this idea and that you can all make it on Sunday 28th April. I will provide another update once I have another message from Adrian. Please don't hesitate to post your thoughts and ideas for this event guys, speak soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SB_Aust 42 Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks Thommo Thanks again for arranging this. 12.00pm will be fine. I hope to get an old Super Champ up and running by then. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thommo 1201 Posted April 27, 2013 What a blow! We'll keep you posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tipsy 7 Posted April 28, 2013 Forecast is for a dry day so I'll be making my way there for 12pm. although their website mentions access via aldis street, does this mean we can get our (real) cars closer to the track via that road, or do we leave them on Aldis street? I can see there are car parks via Penistone Steet and Ranleigh Way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo 1201 Posted April 28, 2013 There is access into the park at the end of Aldis so yeah, you can park under the trees trackside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matman 1498 Posted April 28, 2013 Well i have been thinking & it's just going to be a long day . 4 hours to get there & the same home . I woud not be able to stay to long 1 or 2 hours & would have to head home . I was looking to see if it was going to rain , As i would have done the trip & would have rained off mondays jobs . But it looks like i can't & can't take the gambel . Would have been great to have been there , I was not going to run . But may have taken up beetlebanger1's old Sand scorcher for a run & of course may Boomerang . So Sorry guys & have a great day & get plenty of pic's .

Thommo 1201 Posted April 28, 2013 Boo! Hope to see you next time matman. Just got a call from Adrian. They are running this morning and conditions are perfect. Last nights rain is keeping the dust down but no mud. We should hit the track around 1pm. His guys have brought their vintage cars down too and they are well keen. Sweeet!
