Hi there guys, looking for some info. I'm a recent red p plater, living in northern parts of Sydney. I'm basically looking for a place to race with mates and just 'go fast' by myself. Like, I pay a certain fee or something and I get to do laps till my hearts content. I'm not that good, and hope that it's open to new people as well. Yeah, just hoping there's a place that's also not too expensive, and preferably close to where I live.

Thanks guys!

I think wakefield has days like that, I remember it as being pretty cheap. Drive there, pay fee, then drive to your hearts content around the race track until you get tired or your car breaks. Only problem is that its 2 hours away.

Cool man that's what I'm looking for! I suppose I don't mind driving too far ey if that's the only option. I've heard of Eastern Creek near Blacktown, do they ever do anything there? That should only be say 1 hrs from my place. Are there any clubs I could join that do this kind of stuff?

eastern creek is usually really busy, but there are practice days every so often. I think their practice days are $120 or something and an actual track day there is more expensive.

Otherwise, there's always Oran park, they usually have about 5 or so days every month for practice and they are only an hour away.

Heh unfortunately I don't have a skyline. =( I'll be driving a 2006 mazda 3 neo (stock) that I share with my brother. Any other clubs or anything? I suppose the only way that you can get practice days in is to join a club that does it? Or can you just book it for yourself, and maybe a couple of mates? 2 or so.

you dont need to become a member of skylines australia NSW to drive on the track. just get an AASA licence (cheaper at $50, rather than $85 for a cams + $55 for sau membership) from wakiefield park as you're just starting out and probably wont want to head over to eastern creek just yet - lots of things to hit... like walls. i'd definitely start at wakiefield park till i build my confidence up as its wide open spaces and plenty of room to run off the track.

then i'd start looking at getting a cams license if you want to do another track once you've increased your confidence/skill.

My advice....

Join Any CAMS affiliated club (Of course, SAU NSW on tope of the list :cool: )

Get your L2S CAMS licence

This allows you to participate in alot of events.

You can then do practice days at Oran Park and Eastern Creek.

Wakefeild as Joe said is a great track for first timers. They have open days every week.

My advice is keep an eye on car forums, and see if they have any skid pan or track days coming up. guys over at www.autosports.com.au have track days with pro drivers for training.

:D

so Go hard :D

personal opinion would be to do wakefield park a few times. you wont go more then 3-4 times in the year, it'll cost $50 for the AASA.

if you do the whole cams licence you'll be up for around $150 and you'll only really do wakefield park as its alot safer. by all means - go ahead and try eastern creek but its not the most beginner-friendly track there is. so like i said. $50 for AASA and do wakie - get to know your car on a safe course then look into getting your cams licence. at least if you choose to go for the more advanced tracks you'll only be out $50, rather than around $100 (-$50 for AASA) if all you're going to do is wakie.

and sau are nothing but a bunch of c*nts anyway lol.

p.s. welcome to sau.

You're such a knob Joe. If you don't like us so much why don't you just leave of your own accord instead of provoking us to ban you?

As if this is not the best thread ive ever seen a RED P plater ever post, nice work buddy. All you have to do is get your mates to follow suit and make sure your confidence you get from offroad racing is not seen on the streets.

Wakefield is the safest from what Ive heard as the corners are mostly sand trapped and walls are far far away.. just take it easy every 6th lap or so to cool her down and sell be right.. best to get some aftermarket gear like temp sensors isntalled so it does not become a expensive task.

Also you'll need a Helmet, Upgraded brakes, and to check all fluids before you head out :)

Drag way is another option :D WSID!!

I don't get it, Joe - is that deep-seated sarcasm or are you just having a laugh?

Sometimes I'm not so sure (even considering I've met you a few times), and people who've just joined the forums won't know either. Please take that into consideration when you post...

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
