Lakeside Practice 9th September

Don't think my twin will be back in time but I might get the Rotax out for fitness sake, so lock me in.

Jase married now, we'll never see him at a race track ever again.

If my karts finished i will be there

Ant- 250 Inter
Mike- 250 Inter/125NGB
Matt- 250 National
Mick- 250 Inter
Phil- 250 National
Vince-250 Inter (Kart is in pieces but definatly will try and get there)
Carlo-250 Inter

I will talk to Carlo pretty sure he will be keen in doing some testing so we might as well lock him in and Jason Smith might also be a goer.....

Will have to ask the team director, but sounds like it could be a goer.... ;)

Racing comes first ;)

Or the alternative is what Johnny West does in the US.

Whatever he spends on his kart racing he has to spend on his wife :o!

I like that idea a lot ;D.

Trace,
Did Johnny tell you he has to spend the equal amount on his wife in diamonds?
Maybe if we meet her in August you will get the drift how much Johnny spends on his karts......or ask Stocky next time :o

Doesn't work with me love....so don't start getting any ideas. :D

We can get on but we need a minimum of 8. Full day $120.00 and $80.00 a half day. Don't get 8 you all get sent home. We need to make sure we have the numbers before we book in. Gates open 7.30am. Ontrack 9.30 - 4pm. Pay on the day and fill in the forms at the track on the morning of the event.

Hey Ant - I will try and get the day off work, but will 95% be there with my Rotax (sadly still no gears attached)

Hey guys.. from a super-newby point of view what is needed to turn up to practice days at Lakeside. I have an old 85 cc webmaster ( was Cams approved in 08 ) and basically just want to do some laps, see how I go etc. I have not joined any clubs as yet, nor held any racing licenses, in fact I haven't even bought any safety gear as yet.! :-[ I know Morgan park needs a Cams license and kart to practice, but I haven't heard anything about Lakeside.

Any help would be appreciated .. Ozylink.

Ozy: I'm sure someone from Qld will answer but it depends if the days are run under AASA or CAMS. If they're run under AASA it will be easy as pie, you can just rock up on the day and pay for a license (Around $120 if i remember correctly?). If it's CAMS you have to go through their license process, which means you'll have to do a medical with a doctor then do a online test before they issue you a license. CAMS also costs more. (around $400).

Hi Ozzy,
mate all you need to do is turn up, sign the relevent forms and pay the fees applicable ($120 for practice and $60 for a 1 event licence) and just do it. If you have anymore questions feel free to ring me on 0417769336 or email zahl2009@tpg.com.au and I will gladly help you out where ever I can.

Thanks for all your help guys..sounds like excellent news to me. I am just checking out some safety gear now, and will certainly be giving the kart a thorough going over beforehand. I will ring Ash as well to make sure I have it all in order, but at this stage count me in !

Thanks again Ozylink

It'll be good to see you out there mate...

Hey Dougie,
this photo was taken last time we were at Lakeside for the 2011 Austcoat Lakeside webmaster Anniversary. Would you like to share with everyone what you were thinking?

It's clear to me, Dougie is looking down on his nose cone thinking "now that is a good polish job".

That's it sam, thanks for clearing that up hahaha does anyone know if we will have the same girls for the september meet at MP??

priceless Dougie

More ladys at the next MP meet in Sep. Its going to be a great perv (oops) race weekend.
Hopefully everyone in Qld rocks up. Looking forward to having another crack at the lap record.
Love the photo dougie.

Cheers Ant, they sent Wayne the wrong ignition for the engine so we just have to wait for the correct one now. Should be good to go on the weekend for Morgan Park though.

Hi Jason,

Plenty of time to make the lakeside test. You should put it in with Ants other, no another one of Ants Karts thats coming over ;) ;D. That would save you both on half of the extra bullsh*% hidden unquoted fees that AQIS and customs charge. See below and thats minus GST and DUTY as this kart came in on a 12 month CARNET.

Description Foreign Currency AU GST AUD TOTAL AUD
Origin Customs Fees NZD 19.25 16.65 0.00 16.65
Carnet Fee NZD 150.00 129.74 0.00 129.74

Customs Clearance Fee 160.00 16.00 176.00
Quarantine Assessment Fee 31.00 3.10 34.10

Total, $1600 plus AU for AIR Frieght. It took 11 days from pickup in Wellington to Depot Melbourne for me to pick up.


As you can see. Welcome to Australia, bend over please!!!!!!!!

Whats in bold was quoted and is Kiwi dollars, the rest is after it arrived and remember I asked for an ALL UP NO UNFORSEEN CHARGES EXCEPT FOR A QUARANTINE BASED STEAM CLEAN Quote!!!!!!

The quarantine assesment fee is to decide wether or not to cut the tape on the top of the box
The quarantine fee is to cut the tape on the box and leave it open if they choose.
Sending a Kart to NZ is a Door to door under 72 hours and is right on the Quoted price.
The Carnet fee is to read a one page document and stamp/sign it.

Recently I organised the same sized shipment be SEA to Australia but without a carnet so GST and DUTY on a $2500AU value shipment, The quoted price with gst and Duty was $1150 and 8 days door to door. It took almost 4 weeks and cost $1970 AU .

This was with a high profile AU/NZ freight company.

Good luck chaps, Its hard to beat DHL prices and thats who ill use from now on.

Hi Jason, If you want my advise. Book 2 return airfares on Quantas to Wellington.

Now a billet engine is around 36kg plus pipes and carbs. Take both barrels and pistons off the rods, Take the gearbox internals out, give your mate the pipes, mufflers, ignition, g/box, carbs for his suitcase and you put the engine in your suitcase. When they ask at checkin what it is, say its a collectable sewing machine.

The result is the cheapest airfrieght/ 2 movies/ meals and 23 hours door back to door.


;D ;D ;D :D :D :D

Hi Jason,

Plenty of time to make the lakeside test. You should put it in with Ants other, no another one of Ants Karts thats coming over ;) ;D.
