Which day for the track day? No dates yet. Tickets would be around the 150 to 155 mark with these numbers.

$150 is a bit of money for it to be run on a friday.

I think you need to consider the effort and cost of these days.

Considering it costs $110 for the normal day

Then you get additionally for the $40:

  1. An organised day
  2. Official timing (big costs for this)
  3. Ambulance and flag marshal
  4. Derecks guidance where requested
  5. A sense of competition with prizes/trophy's and tangible bragging rights
  6. The possibility of any profit going to the club

Hey I am from Newcastle but I might head down for the weekend. I will just have to wait and see if the date collides with my shift.

Cheers,

Ryan

Great stuff! The more the merrier (to a certain extent)!

What do you drive Ryan?

SOOOOO.... Mister Goodyear tyres needs some track rubber huh???

Hehehehe I might be able to help out there Chris :huh:

Well I do remember you telling me how quickly you can munch your tyres at a track day, don't want to wipe our the Goodyears with a few trackdays :/ anyway have to think if I want to get involved.

im in, no matter what day its on :thumbsup: . $150 is, i think, a very reasonable price for a timed event.

Yes, it is good value for a timed event... timing is pretty expensive and a lot more fun trying to PB each time.

I might be interested. I brought my Supra down to Wakefield a couple of weeks ago and ran a 1:16 in pouring rain. Would like to see what it can do on a dry track and semi slicks.

when are you guys looking at doing this?

Yours is the stock height black one?

I was there watching you go round, your supra sounds really nice! What exhaust has it got?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
