Default Heathcote in 4 weeks or so?

Hey guys,

I want to run my car in much cooler weather with a few more mods soon, and was thinking a Heathcote test 'n tune day is the way to go.

I'm thinking I might get a diff and some thermos happening, along with a shift kit and a few other small bits here and there, so I reckon about 4 weeks is a safe amount of time to do all that stuff.

I know Gilly wants to go too, as he gets his P's in a week and will have enough mods to pull a decent time by then.

So yeah, just wondering if anyone else wants to come with? I reckon this is a better spot rather than events section, so leave it here please mods!

As you all know by now, racing at Heathcote is $40 and spectating $15, and I'm thinking along the lines of 9th April.

Sundeep

Problem is John, I work on Saturday nights and I think that's when all the Forum drag days are. It was hard enough to get last Friday off, if I had a choice I wouldn't have gone in that heat!

So I'll be going up on a cool Sunday with low traffic 8-)

If i get my new ride i might come up and give it a shke down to see what to go off. My new ride which i'm hopefully getting is an e-series, so you maye see me round these parts more often.

Spewing :( well at this stage, unless my hours change at work, I can't make it :(

Best of luck breaking into the 13s at Heathcote mate!

Yes, it's good not to have to look at the temp gauge and cringe! Or to suffer heat soak...

Cheers

pffft clutch fans are where it's at Dave!!

Nice list Mick. ;) From memory heathcote TNT are like 10-4 or 11-4, on of those, so it might not be feasable for you Dave.
