I haven't been to morgan park for a couple of years now. I do want to run the GTR there, but it just doesn't seem to happen.

I've lost interest in Mt Cotton a bit lately too. I've had a few runs there and know what the GTR is capable of. And sprints are alot easier on a car than the hard launch, and 1st gear corners at Mt Cotton.

With Lakeside opening up again, I won't be looking much further than that for my adrenaline fixes. One of the best/most challenging tracks in the country and only 10 minutes from home!

Although I am planning to go down to Wakefield and Eastern Creek trackdays in November with the Skylines Australia club, instead of the Speed Weekend this year. That should be good fun!

how do i find out when the next track day is on at lakeside?

Register on performanceforums.com and keep an eye put.

Harry - It's funny you say that about hillclimbing being hard on the car. Having not ever competed in hillclimbs I had always thought it would be easier on the car due to the shorter runs meaning less heat soak etc. I guess you learn something every day.

so when is the next one?

I had a look on the site but couldnt find any infomation regarding to lakeside... as it is so close to me i woudl be keen to check out race days

I was lucky enough to hear about this one through a Performance Forums.

Pine Rivers Shire Council are due to make a decision on the tender for the management rights to Lakeside any day now, so I'll keep an ear out for that news. They announced earlier in the year that they wanted to have arrangements finalised by September.

Total Driver who ran this day, have made a submission on that tender. They told me the next event will probably be after the new arrangements are in place. They have basically had use of the facility for driver training in a sort of caretaker role up until now.

i heard a rumour today about another track day organised for Oct, but given the pending decision, i think that's just a rumour. I'll try to find out more though.

this is really good news its been a long time coming and im with you i thought this would never happen lets hope it goes back to the way it was 10 years ago.

Cant believe it is slowly making a comeback. Thought id never see the day. I couldnt be happier. 5min up the road from my house and one of Australias best tracks i reckon. Hopefully its in full swing by time i get the race car ready. Sounds like ill need a good muffler to run though.
