All,

Speaking with Dave from Moto concepts he offered up the EC skidpan on any moto concept bike day, because it’s sitting there not getting used. Dave's suggestion was to aim for a weekend in November. Dave must supply an instructor for the day and the cost is still a little high, but because of the weekend factor there is a stronger chance of getting higher numbers.

Cost ? 40 people at $50 each. There should be ample time for everyone to get plenty of spins.

If you all could let me know indicative number of interested people we can see if this will fly.

This represents good value in my eyes, so if we can get close to the numbers I will pick a date and post up.

Thanks

ah, cancel the q in the other thread.

When you say Dave would have to supply an instructor, what if the club sub-letted the track and ran it on our own CAMS insurance? Any idea on the price for just the skidpan?

Dino, do you know what we would need to do this?

And there is a fun looking figure 8 skidpan over behind the medical centre now too :)

Oh, and I'm in BTW :P

Fark yeah - I'm in !

40 cars sounds like lot though - what about 20 cars @ $100 each ?

If you do the math - 1 car on the skid pan at a time - say 1 minute (at least) for the fang - that's a wait of 39 minutes between fangs.

What about 20 x 2 - am and pm sessions.

Anyway - it'll work out.

...

If we were going to do a Club day at the skidpan we would need a Clerk of the Course etc. As it's an event where the cars are in motion CAMS require supp. regs and officials (unlike the Concours).

From memory the skid pan is $1500 for the whole day, $750 for 1/2 day.

So if Dave is charging $2000 it's not too bad a deal I guess.

Like most team trackday events, no membership needed. Unless the numbers get too big, the events are expended to friends who have nothing to do with this forum as well.

Numbers so Far 11 people, 29 still needed.

Or an increase in price?

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
