Are those timings and prices still correct? do they still do half and full days?

Cheers, Alex.

Yeah Noddy, it's near impossible to get info re practice days out there. As I said I'm yet to drive the track, and would love to make the trip up, as would about 5 mates.

I'm thinking we hire a full day?

[Rhys9]

Your Aware this thread is almost a yr old????

Good luck in getting a hiring the track for a full day for the next 2 yrs!!!!!

They don't hire the track every day of the week. Best way to find out what available would be to Contact the Warwick Sporting Car Club.

Not say you won't be able just remember it being pretty full.

The website is usually the best place to start but can be unreliable at times... but only rarely.

I plan to be out this coming week with the police operation drift/track car and to do some testing on my car too before the Oakey Street Sprints next weekend and will probably be out for a play the following week as well before heading down to Oran Park for the SAU day.

To organize an SAU type day at Morgan, the best way is to contact Bill Campbell in exactly the way it says on the website. He is very particular about that. I have a friends who are friendly with Campbell's and could be a better way to approach them for a skyline only day. Could be a good opportunity to have a track school day? Just an idea.

If you can you get some frimish numbers and dates to me, I'll see what we can do.

I have just put a query in in the MP website. Might even put a EOI in a track training day up in the QLD section.

Im interested to take the 32gtr and Evo out to Morgan park.

I also have other mates in Evo's that would be interested.

let me know how you go.

The long circuit with the planned extension should be a big improvement, less flip flop more speed. A lot of people rave about MP but bugger me you are constantly racking the steering wheel back and forwards as it is now, Lakeside is so much faster (better!), present MP is second rate by comparison.

As it is it suits old light short wheelbase cars like Escorts or modern cars with all the driver aids, particularly AWD's.

[Marlin]

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I'm not so much interested in organising an SAU day out there, most SAU Queenslanders are more interested in ice cream and wristing eachother off than motorsport.

In our little group of cars we have 9 guys who are nearly always up for it, so adding a couple of you guys into and we could make it a date I reckon

Does anyone know if the costs and timings are still the same?

Morgan Park website says;

"Track Open for Practice (Cars Only):

Wednesday 16th September

Wednesday 23rd September

Wednesday 30th September

*Please Note: All practice will be cancelled if weather is wet*

(Note: Car Race Meetings Competitor ONLY Practice Friday before an event, unless otherwise stated.)"

I'm going out this week for the morning session, which exp has shown to be the best because you can stay pretty much all day and tinker for an hour between runs. The guy who generally runs the practice days is a tip top bloke too. It might be $55 for the 1/2 day option now.
