Drive Day Eastern Creek 12/09/02

[Silver-Arrowz]

Hey Doc,

Need long pants and long sleeve shirt. Cotton.

Full face helmet. Open face can be used but you need racing harness to go with it.

No need to buy licence just drivers license (unless you brided the RTA... ).

Thanks mate. Is it necessary ot change your brake pads before you go? My stock ones still have half to go but i imagine that fade would be pretty nasty

[red900ss]

I've been monitoring my brake pad wear for a while and if you don't punish them there's bugger all wear at Eastern Creek. As far as I can tell they are stockies.

Bleed the brakes beforehand and check the car over.

Let me know if your coming.

[Silver-Arrowz]

Depends on driving style.

I like to brake late so I go through pads pretty quick. However if your learning, take it easy and you'll be fine. As Dino said, bleed your brakes.

I think all that has been said needs to be thought about and maybe something needs to be organised for these days so that we can prevent accidents that may occur.

We are lucky to have people attend our track days that have driven on tracks before, Red, Bonkers, Xrsist and myself to name a few... some have even had profesional training, Oz, fatz, Silver.

Maybe we should look at using these people for tips and pointers, I know that it is not too often that I do a lap without a passenger and I am always happy to take someone with me and show them some lines and breaking points. Having an experienced driver with me on my first trip helped a lot.

I know that many of the other people that I have mentioned don't mind taking a passenger to show them the ropes also.

Maybe we should look at those that know where they are going must take a newbie with them to get them started. maybe then we can stay as a group and don't have to deal with SS drivers and their "I'm **** hot" mentality.

Just my thoughts,

Dan.

PS. Last time I went up a group I actually found that my lap times were slower, I think it was because our group were very good at moving over, the group above were not. The ultimate solution is to book the track privatly for us only!

[Silver-Arrowz]

This is a link to Motoconcepts rules and conditions on paticipating. For those who are new to track days, please read them and obey them.

The rules and conditions

Dad,

My car is track worthy but not being used due to a lack of money and the need for new tyres. If you would like to use it you may. (Conditions apply.)

Son.

[OZ GTR35]

Im very keen, but time might be an issue, I will pop in if I get time.

[OZ GTR35]

I need to at least drop in for 10 laps.

[nissaner]

does it matter if my licence is suspended?

i am also thinking of hitting the drag strip at ec on 18th sept... do they then care if i am suspended?

cheers

[Silver-Arrowz]

You need your drivers license.

[nissaner]

so i can't drive if i am suspended???

do they check it?

i do have a licence but its suspended... so if they just look at it, it is okay???

[Silver-Arrowz]

They just ask you to put the license number on the form. That's it. I don't know if they check it.
