SupraPL Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 ... A nice cruise around the surrounding countryside (avoiding those annoying speed cameras) would be good if the weather is right. Maybe down the coast road? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kslb Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 I have investigated the crimond idea and although we cannot get permission to get on the airstrip (cattle are apparently using it for drag racing and it has a 10mph limit)I have managed to get us on an oval track owned by the same people. I am going up to have a look this evening so I will get some pics and post them on here I have no idea if it is suitable how good the surface is etc but I will find out tonight and let you all know. Apparently it is used for racing so should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naybad Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 This is sounding better and better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 This was the suggested route and it looks good to me and includes the crimond option. I tried to google earth the track but no resolution. Will still go and look tonight. Edit: ok i can't upload the route plan but trust me it looks good 86 mile round trip with a stop at crimond oval and estimated time to complete without the stop was 1hr 50 min.

Rickeh Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 That should be the track you'd be driving round guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickeh Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Or this one if it's the Crimond one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Or this one if it's the Crimond one? It's the second track which should be good as it looks a bit wider for when I spin out.lol The guy just phoned again and gave me contact details for when we are on route there and said if we could make a "donation" it would be appreciated as they won't charge a set rate. So we can just chip in on the day if everyone is happy with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eve Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Keith you are a genius! This is gonna be a great day. I can't wait to get her on a track and find out where the limits are. Eventually had the guts to get the revs up for the second turbo on nice dry roads this morning. I have a constant smile on my face. Been driving like a wuss trying to get used to the power though. Hope it's not wet! Thanks for sorting all this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eve as you can see the idea wasn't mine I just made the call took a while to find out who to phone but being a small place the local post office gave me the contact details. Turns out the runway and oval track is owned by a local farm and they were very keen to help us out. kaapstad82 the thanks are for you, sound idea and is looking like it will be a great day. I should now be collecting my car on the 11th of June I can't wait........... Keith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
