Hey Guys,

Looks like August 14th is going to be Track day #3.

So get those cars ready and we'll see you out there.

For the new guys.

- These track days are the perfect opportunity to try your hand at some track work.

- It is a non competitive day, laps will not be officially timed.

- There will be many experienced drivers there to offer advice on driving and mods.

- Entry fees are $80 for members, $140 for non members. Pay on the day (If you're interesting in becoming a member visit the HSCC website )

- No drifting, just vanilla circuit work.

All you need is,

- Your car, in a road worthy condition (no leaks, working brakes, seat belts, ect.)

- Helmet (as1698 standard)

- Long sleeved top and full length pants. (no Nylon)

- Covered toe shoes.

I hope I've outlined everything here... Feel free to add anything if I've missed anything.

Cheers,

cheers.gif

Something that threw me for a while was the helmet standard, basically any motorbike helmet with the silver sticker of awesome is fine :)

The membership pays for itself in a couple of track days, but with a new membership and usage of baski for a day it is $150 all up, and just $80 each day afterward, which is awesomely cheap.

This may not be the place to mention it, but I'm keen to try out symmons plains at some point, so maybe we should attempt another poll or something? Would be good if this could turn into a full state thing, rather than just southerners getting the upper hand each time :) (that being said I do like baski as a track more :P )

how much is the hscc membership?

what would be the cost of 1 day for entry

and where is the next one?

if i have the cash i'd be pretty keen on coming in the stagea :)

your other altenative is to join light car club of tas who are a launceston group. they have the same MST affiliation as hobart sporting car club so you get the same discounted track entry.

to join them you simply need to go to KT electronics at the 5 ways kingsmeadows and see them. there membership is only $50 i think.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
