Eastern Creek Day - Wednesday 20 August

[Duncan]

Hi All,

The next motoconcepts day @ Eastern Creek is on 20 August, its a half day from 1pm to 5pm.

List price is $150, not sure about the final price for the group or discounts, maybe majanal can confirm when he gets a chance.

So who's coming along?

[bri33sta]

Ben and I will be there for moral support and to take a squizz

[benm]

$150 for 1/2 day u got to be kidding.. are they supplying Porsche GT3's ?

[fatz]

mmm gt3 thye go alright

[Jigga]

how many cars on the track at one time? might cum down and blo some skylines? ah.....how much track time can you expect for a half day?

[Duncan]

benm, looking thru the archives, our usual group price is $130 for over 15 cars, $140 for under 15. Even at $150 the price is good compared with, say:

0-15km over $127

15-30km over $203

30-45km over $565

45+km over $1559

Jigga, Eastern Creek lap is about 2min, and there are typically 10-20 cars on the track, so there is plenty of room each. You will come across other cars (or have them come across you) at times depending on how spaced out everyone is. Typically they run 3-4 groups of similar lap times to minimse the traffic.

Normally there are 4x20min sessions, and that is often enough, especially if its your first time out, its hard work for both driver and car!

bri33sta, catch you and Ben there!

$140 (group 3+) and $150 are a bit pricey but i think they have Buell Test Rides available on the day...

The Buell rides are during the bikes in the morning only.

Not sure when it applies but also the cost of storage when your car is impounded, plus court fees if applicable, insurance costs when you do get your license back.

Hi guys,

I have spoken to Moto and booked 10 spots (based on the very slow response from you all). As a norm they need a deposit of $50 which I will collect and then send to them in one go. Total cost will be $140. (less than 15 people)

Deposit need to be to me NO LATER than Next Wednesday (13/8/03) as I'll sned the deposits to Moto on Thursday. PM me for account details if you need them.

I don't think I will be attending this day as I need to begin some saving for the world cup (lots of drinking/flying around the country/drinking/meeting people from other countries/drinking/kicking international rugby teams arses/drinking/screaming abuse at opposition and referees/drinking/drinking and I'll probably have a few beers along the way!

Ben,

Half days are quite often the best... less time for you to over heat brakes, wear out tyres, break stuff, wear yourself out etc. in fact last track day was the first time I have actually driven in every session on a full day! Also you can say to the doctor you have a dentist appiontment in the arvo and can you take a half day... the response is usually yes!

Interested Drivers:

Duncan (deposit 24/7/03)

Cheers,

Dan.

Hey Guys - I will come and watch. I dont have my sump baffle in yet, so i am not keen to go out until thats done.

Christian

[benm]

Whats a sump baffle ?

Sounds like something u do on the weekend with the boys....

[DoughBoy]

What's with all the people using the "sump baffle" line as a reason not to participate?

p.s. stop skimping on gear and go straight for a stage 5 dry sump

[fatz]

yea prank ya *****

pete

[Majanal]

unbelievable... people go and buy these bloody GTR's ... yes the Race version and then they need to go and add this and that to them for a bloody track day... now I must call all GTR whimps for this... not their owners though!

[Duncan]

:bahaha:

looks like a quiet day out there! where's all the team members?

Since there's not many out there, I'll be able to help out with some pointers if anyone is interested.

[Silver-Arrowz]

Prank,

You don't need a sump as the g's you induce on normal road tyres don't cause the oil to tip enough to one side. But I understand it's a precautionary thing as you don't want to pop a motor.
