The East Coast Targa is on again this year from 27 - 30 October
I competed last year in the mini finishing 3rd outright in the touring category!
This year I have entered in my Lancia Delta Integrale
& Andrew Robinson has entered in his mini cooper s works
The course is different this year in a few sections

Check out www.eastcoasttarga.com.au

****

A few of us are going to Bathurst on the weekend of Spetember 11-12 for an overnight stay taking the back roads and following the East Coast targa Course.

Some great driving roads in the middle of nowhere with an overnight stay in Bathurst

Leaving from my place at Penrith

Ideally a navigator would be useful BUT not essential

StuJones is running with me a navigator

Put us down as a tentative yes (need to confirm with Stu) but should be a good learning exercise for us given that you have already done the rally Matt

Stu has a shopping list as long as your arm so it would be a good time to dry-run some of the new toys

Boo · Jun 17th, 2004, 02:30 AM

I'm keen, thanks Matt

Would like to have a good look at Mount Panorama a few times before i race around it

StuJones · Jun 17th, 2004, 03:02 AM

Hi Matt,

Yep steve and I and in. Entry is confirmed (number 100 apparently

).

So very keen to get out and have some pre runs.

Boo: are you driving or navigating?

Boo · Jun 17th, 2004, 09:04 AM

Robbo and I are sharing driving/navigator duties for this one and hopefully Targa Tassie

robbo mcs · Jun 17th, 2004, 10:29 AM

Hi Matt,

Yes, I am very interested.

It is a perfect opportunity to trial driving / navigating and reccing the course, testing equipment etc.

For anyone NOT going on the east coast targa, why not come along and experience the roads anyway

Robbo

minigolf · Jun 17th, 2004, 11:12 AM

Aiiight ... Lancia Delta Integrale ... R-E-S-T-E-C-P!

I HAVE to see that car one day Matt.

Cheers Liam

IML337 · Jun 17th, 2004, 12:38 PM

sounds like an awesome drive, but I think I'll be out on that weekend, celebrating a milestone in my journey toward becoming a pensioner...

so you're keeping the HF now Matt?

Do you really want your navigator showing you how it should be done?

We need to discuss but maybe more appropriate for you learning to take instruction from the passenger seat

I'm sure Carrie probably thinks that is an are you need to work on

cityclinic · Jun 17th, 2004, 02:43 PM

Put me down for it Matt.

I'll let you know if I am bringing a navigator.
Anybody feel like coming along and practicing a little map reading on the move

Yeah I could be into that!

What sort of costs?

cityclinic · Jun 17th, 2004, 04:15 PM

I think its just a run over the Rally course and some accomm for one night and some meals. Shouldn't cost us more than $250 - $300 for the weekend including fuel. Mat will probably have a better idea.

Naaaaaaaaa

I'll just pack a few extra pairs of undies as suggested

s4matt · Jun 18th, 2004, 03:13 AM

No Cost will be involved other than accomodation
food & drinks
I have the route instructions from last year
But in theory we will follow the leader
unless navigators want some practice
We obviously cannot travel on both sides of the road & the
slow down chicanes will not be in place
CAUTION being the obvious answer
Hence maximum of 10 cars
