Long time till MARCH 04

TSR · 13 Dec 2003, 05:15 (Ref:810754)

With the season all over it is a long time betwwen now and March 04 till the v8supertaxi's get going again. While the teams take there annual break --- what is left for the FANS the turn up at tracks, buy merchindise, and make the series what is today (despite what TC says). So if anyone has any info about anything know matter how big please report it.

Too bloody long if you ask me... at least there's always the cricket to watch

TSR · 13 Dec 2003, 06:08 (Ref:810768)

Yeh but it's not motor racing and the one day's don't start till Jan And Australia will win anyway, it's a one horse race

At least the first Improved Production race meeting is in February at Wakefield Park. There is some other catagory supporting them as well, i think they are called the Konica series

**GTRMagic** · 13 Dec 2003, 23:25 (Ref:811268)

The Konica event should be good fun, with so many rumoured workshop clearances recently, it should be AU Falcon heaven...

RaceTime · 13 Dec 2003, 23:28 (Ref:811271)

Actually the first race at Wakefield Park is January 25 - not sure which catehories are involved, but 5 weeks to the first race meeting of 2004....

mtpanorama · 14 Dec 2003, 03:26 (Ref:811355)

And as those of us who go to the Feb Konica meet at Wakefield all know, make sure you pack the sunscreen and try and find some protection from the wind. Last few years have been shockers. Last year we came home looking like we had been BBQ'd.

I know what you mean mtpanorama... I ended up in hospital from the sunburn

Or should I say lobster roast... it was a wet and horrible day too....

Wizzby · 14 Dec 2003, 15:28 (Ref:811652)

Man, must have been pretty bad. I've been as red as a tomato before but never in hospital...

I'm having a great time with the cricket though, my boss is Indian... we have my Christmas bonus down as a bet

If Australia wins I get double, if we lose I get nothing and have to work Boxing Day (double time, who am I to argue) and if it a draw I get the normal bonus.

sevi · 14 Dec 2003, 21:23 (Ref:811792)

Personally, I think it is great and I am enjoying the break.

**GTRMagic** · 15 Dec 2003, 01:01 (Ref:811870)

It wasnt fun.... missed the national sales conference.... so couldnt find anything incriminating this year to hold over people in 2004

Ah well, there's always next year..

The break will be good... although it may become addictive such that returning could fall off the radar

mtpanorama · 15 Dec 2003, 01:12 (Ref:811873)

You will be back, you cant help yourself.

RaceTime · 15 Dec 2003, 01:25 (Ref:811875)

Come in spinner!

mtpanorama · 15 Dec 2003, 04:08 (Ref:811912)

You'll keep. I can keep it in a straight line sometimes

RaceTime · 15 Dec 2003, 04:29 (Ref:811930)

Doesn't the track go straight on where that photo is taken?

Ahh well - we going to see you at the Jan 25 meeting?

mtpanorama · 15 Dec 2003, 04:32 (Ref:811933)

No, i wont be there, no money and no tyres. The heat in november left the rear tyres as slicks. I probably wont race again until the meeting in August at Wakefield. it could be wet then.

Do you want to borrow a HQ?

RaceTime · 15 Dec 2003, 10:30 (Ref:812046)

Hehe - or a Tarago

Crash Test · 15 Dec 2003, 12:53 (Ref:812124)

You could just about run the Torago as a historic car in the triple A...

Is that GTRMagic in his Magna trying to get around you?

mtpanorama · 16 Dec 2003, 05:12 (Ref:812757)

No, i've just passed the magna, and it was one of your fellow South Australians, Jim Myhill. Nice bloke actually.

RaceTime · 16 Dec 2003, 05:39 (Ref:812769)

- he was - until he saw what had just passed him

mtpanorama · 16 Dec 2003, 12:17 (Ref:813003)

This one's for you Steve.
Thanks to Oz event photos from Wakefiled park for the great shots
