I'll call Kevin early in the week and get all the info required for the March 5 day and will let you know as soon as I do!

I think a normal drug habbit would be much cheaper than this car thing!

Oh by the way Danielle is coming to the next one too to drive. That will be fun to watch

OK challenge accepted. My wife (Paula) is gonna come as well. But she will be driving my car, not her Focus.

Yep Danielle will be driving my car as well. Do you want me to reserve 2 spots for you as well then as we will be taking up 4 of the 6 so I figure securing early is the best bet!

I can't make it ... got something on in the morning. It is either study, or corner balancing/aligning 4 wheels before Sandown.

I don't know how much does drifting put out my alignment but it does not feel good afterwards.

Taka I would say its the "snap" stops on the dry that will put your alignment out. Going to have mine checked this week and start playing with my camber :D

Stuart, yes 2 spots please.

My car felt really good on the drive home. If that knocked out your alignment all I can think is the bolt/nuts were not tight enough. I just dont see how that at 40km/hr compares to the punishment your suspension gets at Sandown going full speed!

Will be interesting to see if your alignment is out!

March 5 is too close. I also have Sandown on the 9th. Then Winton on the 20th. It'll blow my monthly budget... hahaha! I'll definitely be in it after the track events. Just need to sit back and reflect how much fun today was. Also gonna book the car for alignment prior to Sandown.

Car felt fine after the event. Tyre wear looked minimal. I used up less than a quarter of fuel after the event (to and from the event plus some cruising around for fast food was 55kms when I got home).

T'was extremely fun today.

When Kevin gets back to me on the 4 places for Andrew, myself and our wives I will ask if there is still 1 left for you. Danielle says the more girls the better. God we'll all be sitting around knitting between turns
