Phillip Island Track Day - G.Irish - 02-14-2014 Here's my blog post about my Phillip Island track day: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://blog.aclr8.com/?p=211">http://blog.aclr8.com/?p=211</a><!-- m --> Other random notes; -There were more than a few rare/cool bikes out there. A RC30, 2-stroke 250's, a Benelli Tornado... -Phillip Island management is way more anal than any of our tracks -There were a SHIT TON of flies. I think there was some sort of seasonal plague in Melbourne and the surrounding areas -Phillip Island has a popultion of Little Blue Penguins, which are a pretty big tourist attraction. They have burrows up to several hundred meters inland and you can do a tour to come see the adults when they come in from the ocean at night. There are also wallabies that live on the island. -How many utes do you see? After doing this I'm thinking that I might want to do more flyaway track days, albeit at tracks a lot closer than Australia. When I think about it, I've only ever driven/ridden on East Coast tracks, I'd like to at least do places like Laguna and Miller some day. Re: Phillip Island Track Day - davej - 02-15-2014 Nice writeup, sounds like an awesome trip! Too bad you couldn't video your runs, would have loved to see that scenery from your point of view. Re: Phillip Island Track Day - G.Irish - 02-15-2014 Yeah that was a serious bummer. I've come to sort of expect the occasional nonsensical rule at a racetrack but this was among the dumber ones. I suspect that tracks that host major international events tend to be a little indifferent to sometimes even disdainful of track day guys since track days are small potatoes for them. Circuit of the Americas is a lot like that I think (on the disdainful side).
