WAKEFIELD PARK TRACK DAY
WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY!!!
We have been inundated with calls & emails expressing thanks for such a great day & we couldn't be happier that everybody enjoyed themselves so much.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to all that attended on the day. It truly was an amazing line up of cars. Incident free & some great times put down with many people recording personal bests. Times are available for viewing on www.natsoft.com.au
It is everybody that attends our track days that help make them what they are & Tuesday certainly was an exceptional day. There was some riveting moments for drivers and spectators alike:
Shane in the R Tune S15 had an awesome run with the R31 & was certainly one of the highlights of the day. Chris in the Z Tune wasn't scared to get it sideways & I know got a few hearts pumping on quite a few occassions. James in the purple S13 had a great run with Alistair in the R35 GTR The R35 GTR was on the track so much it went through 3 tanks of fuel & there must have been about 10 different drivers in the seat throughout the day. The Bathurst R32 GTR is always exciting to watch but I think it recorded it's fastest time ever on one of our days, thanks for pushing it Terry. Neil De Pau in the Radical was our fastest car on the day with a blistering 1:06. Neil drove the car hard recording consistant low times all day & certainly provided some fierce competition for other drivers.
The Time Attack was definately another highlight of the day with everybody pushing their cars to the limit. Matt had everybody in fits of laughter with his commentary as cars swerved this way & that, trying to get down their best times. Congratulations to the winners SHANE MAYTOM - fastest under 1:15 & PHIL MINKE fastest over 1:15 Well done! A special mention also goes to our Rookie of the day JULIE FAINE in the Renault who shaved several seconds off her times throughout the day to finish with a personal best of 1:17 Great driving Julie!
We are extremely grateful to our volunteers on the day - Matt Robinson , Ben Kerker, Ross Kerker, Steve Godfrey, Corinne Murray & Noel Curtis - you all did a supurb job, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I have started a photo album in our gallery section of the website. Unfortunately I didn't get time to take too many photo's myself but we had a professional photographer that was taking photo's all day as well as 2 photographers from ACP & of course almost everybody else that was there had a camera or video recorder in their hands all day so as I receive these pictures & footage I will update the gallery.
Once again, thank you to all involved on the day.

ORAN PARK Z TUNE UNVEILING
POWERPLAY IMPORTS NISMO R34 GTR Z-tune UNVEILING
A NISSAN SPECTACULAR at ORAN PARK GRAND PRIX CIRCUIT
Thank you to everyone who joined us to share this experience. Each & every one of you were instrumental in achieving this most memorable day.
From the moment Alistair & I arrived it was clearly obvious this was going to be an extraordinary day. The line up of cars awaiting our arrival was truly a spectacular sight as we drove up in the Z-tune. We obviously knew what cars were participating on the day but to actually see you all lined up was one of those times when you are lost for words, it really was an unforgettable moment for us. Thank you all so much.
GTR Parade - GTR's as far as the eye could see.
NISSAN PARADE - Not to be outdone by the GTR spectacular, this parade featured a fantastic selection of Nissans.
A VERY SPECIAL thanks to our volunteers:
Nicole, Michele & David - thank you so much for preparing the lunches & beveridges for everybody, this was a huge task & your help was very much appreciated.
Nathan, David, Robert, Tosh, Gerard & Jason - thank you for your assistance with vehicle scrutinising. There was a lot of cars to get through & you guys did a great job.
Thank you Tsuyoshi for travelling from Japan to spend the day with us. You finally got to see the R32 GTR's true potential on the race track. Second fastest time on the day 1:19.18. You are a champion!
Thank you Ashley & Jay for travelling from Queensland to spend the day with us. We really enjoyed having you there. Ashley, after sending you so many parts it was great to finally see that sleek S15 of yours.
Thank you to Tosh & Robert for the extra efforts you put in to ensure all cars were prepared in time for the day.
Thank you to Mathew Coleman for flying up from Melbourne & taking the Z-tune out on the track. Mathew, you are a really great guy & everybody who met & talked with you on the day share our same sentiments.
Finally, the biggest thank you of all.
John - "KING OF THE ROAD" - it has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you over the last eight months. Thank you so much for your generousity & confidence in Powerplay in allowing us to take the Z-tune onto the track before you yourself had even driven it. You have given so many people a truly unforgettable experience. I know I'll certainly never forget my lap around Oran Park. You truly are one of a kind.
Photo's will be uploaded in our gallery section early next week. As you can appreciate there are thousands to sift through so please be patient, we'll get them up as quickly as possible.
The NISMO R34 GTR Z-tune was the fastest of the day 1:18.5820. With only 140Klm's on the clock & the 250kph speed limiter in place we couldn't run it at it's full potential. John actually hit the speed limit down the straight on his first lap.
Second fastest on the day was the Powerplay R32 GTR masterminded by Tsuyoshi 1:19.1800. We couldn't have been happier with this result.
To celebrate the launch of the only NISMO R34 GTR Z-tune in Australia, NISMO have kindly donated a selection of NISMO products. We have therefore decided to present a gift pack to the fastest lap time in each class excluding the NISMO R34 GTR Z-tune & the Powerplay R32 GTR.
CONGRATULATIONS TO:
GROUP 1 - MATT ROBINSON 1:20.5830
GROUP 2 - DALE COGHLAN 1:22.7890

First and foremost we would like to say our Thank you’s.
Terry Ashwood and Rod Markland – Thank you for bringing your cars out. We acknowledge they are expensive to run and we really appreciate your taking the time to bring them down and run them on the day for us. Your participation was crucial in raising the profile of this event and it would not have been the same without yourselves and your cars there.
Our Volunteers – Steve, Sue, Noel, Paul. This day would not have been possible and it certainly would not have run as smooth as it did without your assistance. Your contributions were very much appreciated by us. We can’t thank you enough for volunteering your time to take care of mundane tasks such as manning the front gate and scrutineering all the cars we had.
Tsuyoshi – Thank you for travelling all the way from

Well, what a huge weekend we had in
Every year in the 1st weekend of December (which fell on the 3rd and 4th this year), the Bathurst Light Car Club put on what they call the Speed Weekend. This consists of a Super Sprint on Saturday and a Hill Climb on Sunday (All sanctioned by CAMS of course). This year the Super Sprint was run on the latter part of the track starting just before the rise at the end of Conrod Straight, going through Caltex Chase and finishing on Pit Straight. Runs took anywhere from 45 Seconds upwards. The quickest time on the day of 45.66 went to Steven Shiels of the BLCC who was running a VL Commodore Sports Sedan.
The Hill Climb was run from Mountain Straight, through The Cutting and up to
Team Powerplay consisted of Shane “MAYHEM” Maytom in his “R TUNE” S15 Silvia, James “1/4 MILES” Miles in his Tough R33 GTR, Craig “CANE IT!” McKay in his Stunning Autech 260RS Stagea, and Chris “EATS EM”
From myself, Jo-Ann, Alistair and Robert we would like to extend a big THANK YOU to Shane, James, Craig and Chris for the manner in which they represented us and for their professionalism throughout the weekend. It really was a top notch effort guys and we can’t tell you how much we appreciate your efforts. Thank You from the bottom of our hearts and we look forward to another successful event next year. We would also like to make a mention of all the other competitors who were more than happy to give us advise and assist us in any way. Thank You Guys.
Our thanks also goes to those who came along to lend their support to Team Powerplay and the drivers, Kazu Nakamura, Steven Godfrey, Carl & Chris Batby, Steve Phillips, David & Brian Trist, Jeremy & Julie Braithwaite & Brett Grabham.
