Track Day Anyone

[jippa]

I THINK THAT IAM THANK`S JIPPA IF I THINK OF ANY OTHER THING`S I WILL PM YOU

threads been up for ages and had no input from you so wasnt shure u were interested , obviously you are so when im going to talk to brad will let u know

[jippa]

The earliest available date is Sunday March 30th in the Afternoon session 12.30 -4.30

Jippa, i need to know very soon weather you want this spot so i can start organising things. Yes its over 2 months away, but the advantage to this is everyone has time to get there cars ready and plan to be there on that day.

Let me know asap Jippa. Give me a call if you need to, i am pretty sure you have my contact details.

Cheers

Brad

Jippa, dont list names yet. That will happen in the next thread confirming everything. It just makes it easier to run the event out of 1 dedicated thread. You will see what i mean very soon

Date will be confirmed by this weekend and thread will be put in STAGEA DISCUSSION. Keep your eyes open folks

Cheers

I have wanted to find out the limits of my car, for a long time.... but I am skeptical that this is gonna do it.

I have thought about coming.... but can someone explain the point of going on a DRY skid pan in an AWD car, that grips like the proverbial, and weighs so much?

I mean I would like to learn at which point our cars actually let go, but I just don't fancy doing it in the dry and tearing the shit out of my (new) tyres.

The car is very unlikely ever to break away in the dry, and learning control, in the dry isn't going to teach control in the wet, IMO.

I KNOW that the car starts to slide at about 100kph at Barbagallo negotiating the bottom bend, and is so easy to correct it isn't funny. Convince me that this track day is really going to be worth it, and I'll be there too.

Make it wet...... I'll definitely be there.

I was going to post a bit of a rant here about the multitude of things you will learn about your car here, but I cbf'ed and besides, like everything else in life, you only get back what you are willing to put in. If you want to come, then do, you will have a blast, but if you come with an attitude like that you will probably hate it.

If you really believe you know every single thing there is to know about how your car behaves, then maybe you should come down just to teach the rest of us how to drive properly?

Theres a reason they call this course a "Driver Training" day. Micheal Shumacher and the like will get nothing out of this course....but the average joe driver, like you and me, should learn a thing or 2 if you want to. You can push the car as hard or as softly as you feel comfortable with while your learning several differnt techniques of driving your car (Steering, posture, vision, braking etc) Its not designed for you to push your car to the absolute limit to find out where it will let go, howevermost of the time, the drivers limit is a mile under the cars limit if you know what i mean.

As for a wet track, all i can do to get the skid pan wet is a rain dance...if it works GREAT...if not, i can do nothing more

My honest opinion to you is if you feel your driving level is at the very best it can be, then you are wasting your time and money coming. If you dont believe you will get any gain from it, and you have already convinced your self of that, then again, maybe best not to join us. On the other hand, if you enjoy driving your car, learning a few things along the way, and having a social chat with other like minded people, then sign up

I have been on one of these before , and am keen to go again .. I think most people would benifit from this .. and yeah I guess a lot of us are in the same boat (boom TISH ! ) with weight and traction etc.. but will still be good fun

any time after the 4th of march is good for me .. the ONLY bummer with this is the laps are not timed so you cant really see how well you did in comparison - not that its a competition !

[Stinky Rooster]

Hey Brad - does this rain dance involve feathers combined with partial nudity? If it does, then count me in!!!

[ssshonky]

no no no .. you guys got it all wrong.. what we do is the 1st car to go around hte track is one of those big eff off trucks with a water tank on the back - you know the ones they use to spray water on a dirt road during construction to keep the dust down ! ooh sorry driving instructor person - I left the water on !

[R DIRTY 3]

Dale, Yes, and a goat. if you want to come along bring your own goat!

[mitchy_]

the goat would make a fine obstacle as well.. for those that are 'fantastic' drivers, it would give a moving obstacle!

I am SO there!!!

*edit* - my goat has a hair dressing appointment on that day Can I bring my inflatable sheep?

[ssshonky]

I vote for locking the goat in the cargo compartment of a randomly selected club member

if you dont make the goat yack your not trying hard enough aroudn the Course

Yeah but bring a puncture repair kit. So many times my night has been disappointing because i dont have a repair kit

In regards to the goat on the course, you should all go and get roo bars fitted your stags

And what you have all been waiting for.....
