They let handicaped people do these courses as well? Sheeeshh!!

BTW, i noticed all the whitches hats were still upright, this photo was taken before your pass, right?

Putonyourshoes · 03-03-2008, 07:14 PM

hahahaha yeah mate.. they had to move some because i kept nicking them.
just kidding mate. i was the only driver to not knock one over. but i came close a couple of times!
that sway bar made a difference hay! cheers for that

Looks like a lot of fun!

Whereabouts did you do it?

bourbon · 04-03-2008, 11:06 AM

if ya didnt knock them over means you werent goin fast enough

Putonyourshoes · 04-03-2008, 04:47 PM

hahahaha i did it at eastern creek.
had the best time hay!!
you can also pay 270 for a day on the race track. you get 20 minute sessions through out the day, anyone interested?
i was suprised how well the astina handles at high speeds.
going 80 into a situation where you only have 10 meters to choose whether to brake, or go either side, i was expecting stupid amounts of understeer. but nothing. felt like a go kart

They sometimes make it harder for people with modded cars.
Really depends on where you go.

I've got to do one or two similar things to get both CAMs stuff and also my insurance wants it.

Sounds like someone is getting a Level 3 license of some kind. Requiring 2 OLT's huh?

I got a friend who wants me to do events a like adeilade classic tara tas
and a few other buts I really want to drive this open wheeler classic -it's a 1975 model with 1.6L. but you need like this licnece because it's effectively in this country just below a Forumla 3 car but above say a formula ford.

The issue's have been time. I had low end cams licence but too busy to keep on it and even my ANDRA licence is finsihed for last 2 years now. Tha'ts how long it's been.
I did my andra so I could run friends cars - easy when you had no 9-5 job or similar. but now time is so hard.

And certain insurance companys won't accept those things as proof of a course because the are not like Road sense crap. So if I go with one or another compnay must do there course.
4 cars under my name now getting very expensive. My history don't help but - what can you do.
