BNR32t Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 I was thinking extra money goes into making the banner for the ACT, and any extra money after that goes into maybe starting the ACT sau club, if there is interest in doing so.

a20089 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I was thinking extra money goes into making the banner for the ACT, and any extra money after that goes into maybe starting the ACT sau club, if there is interest in doing so. Great idea except even using Wakefield insurance it still leaves the organiser open to be sued as well. I'm tossing up the ideas, possibly doing it under the ACT supra club banner and splitting the "profits" with the club. Or possibly doing it under the SAU NSW club banner. Since we are trying to make it more of an ACT organised type event (with NSW invited) I'd lean toward doing it jointly with the ACT Supra club. Just remember there is the possibility of making a loss even if we get 30 cars. I'd impose a limit of 60 cars, but the closer to 60 the better. My session with the Ferrari club and 30 cars left me with so much track time, I kept having to find more fuel. There are small but active clubs in the ACT for WRX's and EVO's that would contribute probably 5 each to the day. ACT Skylines 5 ACT Supra 5 ACT WRX 5 ACT EVO 5 Leaves us well short. Double it if we invite NSW clubs and we are getting into safer territory.

BNR32t Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 ^ yeah I agree, More track time that you could ever want and timed. I was thinking for one award to have a regularity (this will get more slower cars/drivers out, to boost numbers) it means that the person with the least difference between all there times with a minimum number of laps say 10 laps gets the prize. This could be quite a boost to numbers, might be wrong, Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/188078-skyline-vs-supra-track-day/page/3/#findComment-3403474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
a20089 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Just letting everyone know this has not been forgotten about and I will be looking at the possibility of organising this, probably on a Friday looking at the votes and costs. Probably early next year but dependant on insurance. I would be looking at some volunteers for the day, particularly anyone with good mechanical experience for scrutineering or experience flagging.

Frink Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 just digging this up.... not trying to sound lazy or anything, but anyone heard any more on this? i'd do it myself, but i wont have the time until next year... im happy to say that my car will be track ready again by the end of the year, so look out boys and girls!

BNR32t Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Yeah mate, looks like this wont happen till next year. I havent forgotten about it. The prices will be higher next year, so the cost will go up a little. Dont think it will be much though. Once my GTR's back on the road it will give me the modivation i need to finish organising this. The pole will still be used as a guide for what day it will be held on. I think Friday will be the go at this stage. Cheaper and more people can make it.

a20089 Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Just got a quote back from an events organiser in Sydney and I'll follow up wit him. I'd prefer to let someone like Dereck organise the whole thing. But most important people need lead time for gettings cars ready, saving up some money etc. The more lead time the more people can make it. I'll talk to Dereck as well and see what he can do with regard to the day.

Donnan Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Thought i'd drag up this thread again. There are a few other clubs we could invite: BMW (very active club and apparently have some track specific cars) REACT (rotors) If we were struggling for numbers, we could possibly contact a few more clubs through CACTMC http://www.actmotorclubs.org.au/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/188078-skyline-vs-supra-track-day/page/3/#findComment-3498248 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My idea to make sure we get numbers was to run it as a Nissan V Toyota day, to keep the competition feel. Ross in the ACT supra club is keen to run 3 events (Track, Drag, Dyno) over the year, and I think this is a good idea (dyno day with two clubs ensure plenty of numbers). Dereck has worked with several clubs and with him running the day I believe they would be more inclinded to attend. As for other clubs we have SAU NSW SAU VIC 300zx Nissan Sports car club Nissan Silvia Mr2 (quite an active club it appears) Canberra Celica's Supra NSW Supra VIC Obviously ringin's would be welcome if we were looking for numbers, and being a first event of this type I expect we will need them.

ZCR Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 would love to come, but what sort of things would an individual bring to a track day, as i've never been to one before?

a20089 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 what sort of things would an individual bring to a track day, as i've never been to one before? There's several threads in the motorsport section that cover this. I normally take: A good attitude, be there to have SAFE fun. Food, track food is expensive and often tasteless Water, you will sweat if you are trying your hardest Pen and paper to record your best times Money for Wakefield licence, photo's, food etc Your drivers licence Clothing: Long sleeve shirt, prevents sunburn and is needed for legalities Helmet Enclosed shoes, runners Enclosed pants, jeans work fine. Sunnies, turn that last corner and get blinded by the sun, not so good. Your car, with new oil and car checked all over by yourself or mechanic recently (no good turning up paying money and your car gets knocked back for unsafe car) Engine Oil, RB's use oil around the track and turbo's like oil. Tyre pressure kit, at least a gauge, a pump if possible. Tyre changing gear Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/188078-skyline-vs-supra-track-day/page/3/#findComment-3498542 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BNR32t Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 The 3 events would be alsome, Set up awards for all, Plus top 3 performers over all days. That would be sweet.

Michele Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Make sure clothing is 100% cotton, no nylon leather joggers are okay so long as they don't have a nylon top Sunblock (mum ) I think its optional for this day, but think about a small a fire extinguisher, around $18-$22 from Autobarn/SuperCheap etc but must have a metal frame (not plastic) then you can come to our comp days, hillclimb etc when you get the bug (ohhh yeah.. you're gonna get the bug) and ask lots of questions, we're all happy to help where we can. Get some practice, come to the SDMA Hillclimb on 9th Dec, scrutineering will be tougher, but well worth it.
