32 4whore Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Who is keen. I am very keen after having my accident. I would rather spin out and hit a cone then hit an enbankment again. Alot cheaper in my mind. I also want to feel what my car can do in the right environment. Who is keen on a safe and controlled environment to see what their cars are capable of doing? If I get enough interest i will look into it further. All i know of is the AAMI driver awarness course thing out at AAMI stadium. Does anyone else know of other driver training courses in SA.

Busky2k Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 The AAMI thing is alright but if you think its a skid pan day or something then its definitely not. Skidpan/mokohana day I'd be up for!

4door_Sleeper Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I'd be keen I would prefer a day at Malalar with plenty of practice time (not all theory). I believe Manta Racing can arrange this with a pro driver (can't remember who) if we can get sufficient numbers. For those contemplating this it would be worth budgeting for new brake pads (unless changed recently) new fluids (brake, and engine/trans oils) as well as a wheel allignment prior to the track day.

Maxx Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 very keen from memory i have seen similar thread at least a few times in the past. Everytime, we have a lot of people express their interest but can't make it at the end for various reasons so please ask for a deposit before organise anything to avoid disappointment Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154572-sau-driver-training-day/#findComment-2875624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

32 4whore Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 As Maxx said. I have seen a few other threads like this and have noticed that ppl say they are keen but don't pull through in the end. I will continue my research in the matter and once i have finer details I will post them up. And yes a deposit will be needed so I can lock in numbers. As 4door_Sleeper said. New brake pads will be a must. Coolant/ oils well i change mine too often. LOL well I did when my car was on the road. 3months baby . I will talk to Clem out at Mallala when I go there for the G1 drift comp on the 17th. I will also look into this Manta Racing company. Oh and who is the Stig. LOL, Who claims they are the bomb of driving?????????? For some reason I am Looking at you Joel (cubes) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154572-sau-driver-training-day/#findComment-2876255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinistaGTR Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 might be interested...(depends if the car is run in) can you enquire about the cost, whats required and how long the course would go for Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154572-sau-driver-training-day/#findComment-2876278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl4cK32 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I think if u are with Shannons they will either give a discount of full refund of the cost of the course (they do with bike rider safe training) as they deem it to be a benefit to you not having any accidents... Cubes aint a racer....let him take out the baby seat in the rear of the car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154572-sau-driver-training-day/#findComment-2876311 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOSTILE Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I 'd be interested too... maybe we should all just join the evo club track day in march and have a thrash round mallala... of course there is no instruction involved... I don't think so anyway! Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/154572-sau-driver-training-day/#findComment-2876348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
32 4whore Posted February 3, 2007 Author Share Posted February 3, 2007 OK AAMI Dkilled Drivers course is out of the question. Under 25's only or some crap like that. I think a track day out at Mallala will be the only way to do this. I wish Port Gawler was still open. Or AIR. More research needed.
