IPRA - Bathurst here we come!

At this point it would appear that the NSW club members will get first preference to enter, with second pref going to people who run at both or one of the other 2 rounds, then interstaters like me and whoever else they want to invite.
I had plans to race at Phillip Island in September, but with this news I think I'll be changing my plans... !! After a bit of a chat with a spokesperson from IPRA NSW, if I enter the Wakefield Park race meeting, I'd have a pretty good chance of getting invited to the bathurst race.. man if there is even half a chance I'm gonna give it a go
Pete (lxchev366), give Alan Bucton a call for more info, and Greg (82911) how good would it be to give the commodore a blast around there?
Was having a real crap day, but hearing this news has really put a smile on my dial! I still cant imagine what an awesome feeling it will be coming out of pit lane for my first run up mountain straight

Improved Production Regs
I reckon your car wouldnt be far away, although you will have to run on the control tyre 225/50/16 Yoko A048R and the roll cage has to comply to schedule J which you can find more about here

by the way us guys that use AO32R in 225/60/15 can still use them as we have a waiver at the mo, due to the AO48R not being made in that size!
I wont be able to enter the up coming OP round with them, but I should be able to get to the WP outing (which is after all our state rounds).
Yep I will definetly try and get to Bathurst next Easter... I will be talking to Alan Bucton this weekend about it. This is a dream of mine to. I have already done the Conrod Straight Sprint and Forrset Elbow HillClimb (in my Old 6 Cyl VC Comm)... so I have half an idea. Driving down Conrod was good, but to do the whole track.. lookout I'm there!!
Sam if you do get to come along to the WP event, let me know and I will look after you and help you as much as I can.
We can do the PI and Sandown events some other time!!
You can also look here for regs also...look for the sticky at the top. The Forum is also where the whole of IPRA come to discuss things (Nation wide).

Hey Pete,
Thanks heaps, any help I can get will be much appreciated!
WP looks like a similar layout to Mallala (speed wise) so shouldnt have to change the car too much. Prob will be spending more time sorting out the tow car and trailer for the journey... Glad I've got a bit of time to get it sorted!

Can I come and play?
Would be great to see your car at this meeting... Its a shame the Group C&A boys arnt going to be there as I understand its being billed as a historic meeting...
Aside from the wheels/tyres, I wonder what else you would have to change to make a group c torana eligible to run in IPRA... I cant think there would be much else... I spose the different wheels tyre combo would upset the suspension setup and require different springs etc....
maybe Greg might know?

Been flat out working on the suspension to hopefully get it handling a bit better, now the rush is on to get it back together....
Bring on Easter 08!

I've applied for a garage (both paddock and garage are the same price), but at this stage who goes where has not been finalised as yet, to be honest I'm not that worried, just glad to be going!

Good luck with it fellas. If they are after officials, feel free to dob me in, even though Easter is awkward.
Cheers Pat, pm sent.
The organisers are looking for officials for this event, so if you would like to be involved, send me a pm and I'll put you in touch with the right person. You dont need to have any prior experience they will train you when you get there.
Rod, I'm still a bit unclear on the availability of the garages, I guess we wont know what is goin on until they send out the paperwork...
cheers,
Sam

I got accepted as well, so I will see a there.
Hey Sam, when I asked for a garage space I asked to be put with other Torana's so hopefully we get the same garage?? If not we can ask to be put together. ?

Thats great news! Yep, would be great to be able to share a garage with you! I understand it will be a couple of weeks before the paperwork comes out, hopefully we can sort it out then...
cheers,
Sam
