[Sambo33]

Im keen on going! ive got a few suspension issues to iron out, so once i got that sorted im there!

[Roy]

LOL...if they are issues, then certainly get them sorted before blasting around the circuit, if its because they are std...thendont worry, std is fine...just get out there and give it a blast.

Is it best to sort accom near the track or in Adelaide, as the soone ri boot accomn around Nth Adelaide the cheaper we get it. I guess its a 2-3 hr drive to the track, may leave mega early Sat morning and go straight to the track, that way Sat night will be cheap as well because two beers and i will be out cold

anyone care to give me a summary of what' going on?

[Roy]

At the minute a token Skyline is driving over from vic to do a Practice day at Mallala.

Its basically an open day at the circuit for ppl to drive their cars.

From their website ...

Cars and bikes Practice Days - start time 10.30 a.m. - gates open at 10 a.m.

- 15 minute sessions are run for each category with 5 sessions per day

- Motorcycles – fast

- Motorcycles – slow

- Closed cars

- Open cars

The day finishes with the final session at 4 p.m. or 4.30 p.m. The cost per day is $70.00 for cars(these charges include GST)

Drivers of cars need a hemet, and clothing (not synthetic) that is full length leg and sleeve coverage.

This is different to Drift Practice Days, and at most tracks its kinda frowned upon going sideways everywhere smoking up your tyres when their are cars around you that are "race cars" looking to do setup work etc.

I have never been to one of the Mallala ones before, but they are a practice day for the full circuit and usually provide a great opportunity to get out and have some fun.

[Nozila]

roy, are you intending to pilot a vehicle on the track?

[Roy]

LOL...i aint driving all the way from Vic to watch other ppl have all the fun

Just need to sort out a drinkingparty for the Saturday night <_<

Its always fun driving on a new track...i cant wait !

[Oosh]

If it don't get the car out there I'll definately be there for the drinking, see if you can get Rowdy over too Roy, lying bastard said he'd come visit me.

[Roy]

Rowdy has had certain problems relating to every panel on his car beign bent, so that a pretty good reason...other then that who knows, ill lay the hard word on him

if your all not too scared of a little high speed drift, come down the Adelaide International Raceway on the 11th September opens at 10 (i think)

there using the d-nats layout so you hit the esses's in 4th gear so its pretty quick sliding

they are also opening up the back of the bowl so drifting onto the drag strip will be allowed..

gonna be an awsome day.. im already getting tyres sorted so if your all keen get crackin on tyres as AIR has a tendency to rip tyres to pieces in less than 2 laps

should be fun

Well at the moment it seems there is only me, and the possibility of the SAU-Vic Trackday cheer leader Bec. When i see them ill be working on the others too... and a session constitutes a good 12 hours on the drink

Pass....there is a day at Winton that weekend...plus i think your mad to drift your daily driver, but daily drivers are fine for circuit work...well in my eyes anyway.

So Mallala is like Calder where they only open a few corners for drifting?
