For anyone who is interested, there is a Burrows Drive Day on next month for those who want to fang around Eastern Creek for a day. Information can be found at Events ONeill and for those who know what they want and just need to know how to get it, contact Luke ONeill ...
These days are a bit more pricey ($385) than the Motoconcepts but then again, they also have fewer cars on the track and heaps of exotics to play with around the back of the circuit..

Can't wait

Boo · May 18th, 2004, 12:46 PM

Recently Lamborgini sponsored the day and let some drivers go for some hot laps in the passenger seat of a Murcielago

Hi,

Boo, I hate to correct you, but the lamborghini day was a Gallardo, and we didn't get hot laps in the passenger seat, we got to DRIVE it

One of the best experiences of my life

Pity you were overseas.

The burrows days are fantastic. They are well organised, friendly, with great cars and great instructors. You can also get fantastic professional photography done on the days.

There are usually lots of exotics. Usually at least 8 porsches (GT2's, GT3's turbos etc), 3-4 ferraris (355, 360, ocassionally F40 or F50) and lambos (Diablos and Murcielago). Mixed amongst that are other cars such as M3 CSL, Merc AMG's, Audis etc etc. There are also a few minis!, as well as other cars.

The days are expensive, but excellent!

I will be going to the next day.

Just for scotty B, I've attached some more pics to drool over.

There are a couple of "arty" shots of me in the M3 hooning down past the end of pit lane. There is one of the diablo, and one of the Gallardo I got to drive. Sadly, there is also a shot of Steve's great Murcielago, which sadly is no longer with us, as it was written off when one of his friends took it for a drive

.

ScottyB · May 19th, 2004, 06:01 AM

Oh. My. God.

Oh. My.

ing. God.

23rd of June. I will have my car by then too

Im there.

Is it free again for spectators/photographers?

Boo · May 19th, 2004, 07:06 AM

Unfortunately spectators have to pay $50 for the day but you do get lunch

I'm booked in and i have been told by that Bentley is the sponsor of the day and will be bringing along a Continental GT and an Arnage T - all 2.5 tonnes of it...

Thats crap. Just turn up Scotty but dont eat there. I had 2 friends of mine turn up and they had no clue that they did not pay. Trust me , im turning up at midday

Heck , one of them even drove his car on the track without paying and didn't get noticed

Yeah. I wondered how they would actually patrol that. I mean, when I went down to see you blokes at EC, we pulled up outside, and walked through the pits. And I started taking photos

Its not like there are admissions gates and no other way in
