Seriously it's the best fun ive even had and gives you a great feel for how far your car will go before over or under steering. Oh yer and if the pictures dont provide the explanation heaps of hanging sideways... :)

in the half day how long are you likely to be on the skid pan for?

Last time i went there was 11 cars and we had 4 runs each x 15 odd minutes and some people got a fifth run for an extra 10 odd minutes... This was a morning session only...

Varies i guess and depends on the crowd... :D I'd be expecting that those that go in the half and half session still have the same quota as others just spread over 2 sessions but if the chance comes up for extra runs you have a better chance of more track time.

i've seen the dvd's... better off doing your own (camera work is not good). but the rest of the day is great....

Others have similar thoughts... I didn't mind it, but i wished there was a little more thats all... I am hoping to have the guy there for about the same amount of time but covering both sessions so there will be plenty of cars.

Lemi know and i can get you a copy of our last one... Well i'll get it to the dude that hasn't seen one before... :D

So is there any more takers???

Put me down as interested/temp/fill in - The only reason I haven't jumped in is because I'm still waiting for some race calendars to come out and don't want to miss a good race.

Is this with Dereck or someone else? Does the price drop for group bookings if you have a full house?

Yer this is one with Dereck, you got it... :(

No probs, Ill put you down as "interested but not confirmed". Just keep in mind payment is due by 2nd September. On the topic of payment the price is staying at $125 untill i have a confirmed answer about the DVD package and BBQ. So far it looks like we are getting one and the BBQ will get funded from that so there is no worries for anyone (Well besides me that is :rofl: .

If there is any probs like it doesn't happen ill certainly give you your extra money back either on the day or electronicaly when i find out.

Okay, please count me in. Derecks terrific!

I can't see in the thread how much the DVD package is going to be, have I missed something somewhere?

Cheers

It's $125 Total at this stage including the DVD package.

I will be seeing Dereck tomorrow at the skidpan in the morning so ill be getting him to confirm the availability of the camera guy for the DVD.

If there is any more questions feel free to give me a call. 0420 944 263

Cheers

If theres 10 cars in each session, probably will get around 3 x 15 minute sessions.

People that have expressed interest or in for sure.

Is this still the case? I guess it's just a reminder the payment is due in 7 days.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
