Time Attack Track day at the Midvale Speed Dome.

Spots are allocated on a first come, first served basis and if your name is on the list, you'll need to pay A.S.A.P.

We need AT LEAST 18 drivers with a maximum of 20 so everyone has as much track time as possible, and to ensure that the price of the day stays the same. Less drivers = more money per driver.

It will be a FULL day, but obviously you can come and go as you please.

The day will cost $175 including a BBQ lunch with hotdogs and salads.

The Speed Dome is a short course, so it suits quick accelerating and good handling cars, but there's a decent straight so your fast car can stretch it's legs a bit.

It will be an Autokhana/Superkhana/Time Attack style event, which essentially means driving really fast around a series of tight corners and short straights against the clock.

You will need your own, or access to the following things;

> Licenced & roadworthy car

> Helmet

> Long sleeve shirt and pants (cotton is best)

> Closed in shoes

Your car will be scrutineered before you are allowed to drive it on the track.

Basically, make sure the following things are done;

> Battery is secure

> Seatbelts lock under tension

> Tyres are not completely bald

> Loose objects are removed from cabin

> Your car is not falling apart

> Your car is not leaking vital fluids

Cost is $175 - payable BEFORE the day please.

Price will include Hot Dogs and drinks for the drivers only.

Spectators are most welcome, but will need to provide their own food and drink.

You will need to bring your own;

> Seats/blankets/cushions to sit on during the day.

> Sunscreen, just in case

> Insect repellent, just in case.

> Don't forget your tools, and spares just in case!

There's plenty of room to make a mistake, so rest assured that the worst that will happen is your car might get a little dirty.

It's always good fun, and it's mostly at slower speeds, so drive at the pace that you're most comfortable with. Your times will improve the more you drive.

There's a chance of some professional instruction on the day too.

The money is NON-REFUNDABLE so if you can't make it, find someone else to take your place.

Make sure your car is reliable, and will last the whole day. The price is the same whether you drive for 1 run or 12.

You may drive someone else's car (with their permission of course!), but that car will need to scrutineered also if it hasn't been already.

Lastly, the track is for everyone who is driving on the day. Each run takes between 40 seconds and 1 minute 30 seconds depending on the track's layout.

Don't dawdle, remember who you're after in the running order so that you're ready to go when it's your turn to race.

If you're deemed to be unsafe on the track, you get 1 warning only. After that, no more driving for you.

You will need to let me know A.S.A.P. if you intend on driving, so that I can advise and pay the venue, and sort out the running order for the day.

Feel free to contact me with any questions that are not answered above ^^

Thanks :)

What I'm doing at the moment, is putting people's names on the drivers list to see how many we have for the day.

Payment details will be sent to those people who PM me with their first and last name.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.

      What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
