Wakefield: Greaser x trak-life

A month later I attended the Greaser x Trak-Life Wakefield Track day.

Fun day, some fast car's out. However this was the first track day I've attended and the car has turned on me.. Track time commenced 9am, by 9:30am I gave it the beans down the straight on my first 'fast' lap and as I did so the lower alternator bolt decided it didn't want to be holding the alternator and it would rather fall out and be in the organsiers S15 A050 semi slick behind me..

Spent all day going around Goulburn trying to find a shop to repair bolt and I offered to repair the guys tyre (he ended up getting a PB on the repaired tyre, and we now good friends and his my brake pad/disc supplier now).. Then turns out bit of the bolt snapped off, so had to return to town and find somewhere that had a bolt which would work, eventually found the exact same bolt just with a normal hex head instead of the OEM square head.

Once all back together it was already 2:30pm, track closes at 4pm. Was going to just drive home but everyone ghee'd me to return to the track and so I did. Previous Pb is a 1.13.00 flat, didn't beat it but I managed to get down to a 1.14.00 in the YouTube vid I'll link below.

The PB 1.13.00 was set on street Nitto NT830's, this time I had the same worn Hankook RS3's from Eastern Creek earlier this year! Still a very fun day in the end and was able to drive the car home. Thanks Greaser x Trak-Life for holding an awesome day, and sorry Phil for the tyre, but congrats on the PB! :P

Here's some more photos that came about a week later from the Greaser x Trak-Life track day. Nothing since has happened with the car it's just resting. The lower alternator bolt seems to be holding up. I will be required to get new pads + rotors soon as my current ones have been on the car for over 2hrs now and they were used when I put them on, when I did the DA9 big brake upgrade.

Popping a strangers A050 tyre first thing in the morning, friends by the end of the day!
