Update on the Skyline V Supra track day.
This has been sometime in the planning and it has not been the easiest thing to get going, so I’ll let you in on the current status. I’m taking holidays soon so nothing will get looked at until March now.
In short this will not happen in the March/April time period I had hoped, due to supplier issues. I am still hoping to offer a track day in the future. However all is not lost as the Skyline boys are very keen on running a Dyno day at ESP in early March (see ACT Skyline forum)
The reasons for the delay in running the track day are listed below:
Some of the current facts:
• With the increased price at Wakefield it would be unprofitable to run the day on a weekend.
• It will costs approx $6000 to run a day like the one we want.
• Every Friday was booked for the next 3 months, only one Monday was available in the same time period.
• There is a $500 non refundable deposit on a booking. I can’t offer a fixed date without a booking. As per above
• No supplier has been able to provide/confirm a total package that only costs $150 a head with between 40 and 60 entrants.
• Each supplier would like to receive a prepayment of the full amount before running a day like this.
I could run the day myself risking the entry fee etc, but if I did I would obviously want to receive the profits (if any) of the day (my money, my risk, my profits) But having a professional place run the day would encourage more people to attend and the idea was to give the clubs the ability to receive any profits made from the day.
I’ve been offered a session for approx $165 a head but 35 cars only. All payment would have to be upfront before I could set a date. This clearly will not work, people have lives.
