140 in a 70 zone

Tosh whilst you know how much a trackday costs, he may not know or have anyone to go with. If I was him and I read some of the posts in here I would have no intention of joining the club or attending any events

yes we have finally been able to organise a trackday with a few morning sessions dedicated to helping out new guys to the track.

we have also had Adam write a fantastic article to encourage more people to get they're fix there and also ease the concerns that alot of us had (have) about the first time on the track, which was mailed to every club member and I'm happy to organise to have it posted here in PDF format for anyone who wants to read it. or perhaps Adam has a copy of it he can post up for us.

he didn't post "i did 200 on the road last night and got away!"

simply asking what the punishment is.. not the reward..

hate those 'angels' who talk as if they never sped before..

to those angels who posted here.. GW and CONGRATS.. u deserve a gold medal!

[Moanie]

agreed red!! it can cost so much more when you break the law! I already know this! its just alot of people don't... and they won't know or realise until they taste it for themselves! you can tell a child not to touch something hot... they won't listen till they realise it burns for themselves! I'm sure jnr is not proud of what he has done.. he just wants to know what to expect.

And i'm sure alot of other people would be interested in hearing about track days... but not everyone is a member of sau... so how are they meant to know what happens around them? I've only seen two track events come through the public area of the forums recently... maybe there has been more that i haven't seen! And this whole team track day thing... i've hardly seen any adverts for them! i don't even know what it is... still!!

Now all of you speed hounds join Team Trackday by coming out to the track hehe

fcuk me

if you notice the and "hehe", it was a fairly jokey comment that I made.

let me clarify EXACTLY what I meant by it.

The best place to speed is on the race track. It is relatively inexpensive to get to a wakefield open day and the track itself is wide and very beginner friendly.

Team Trackday is a group of SAU guys who regularly attend track events who just decided to give themselves a name FOR FUN. It's not serious, it's not official.

and about track events not coming through a public forum....

I just looked through all trackday thread since late July in the PUBLIC events forum and found these.

Thanks Adam

[red900ss]

I give up...you people obviously don't actually read what people post and what they are saying...

[franks]

1st one is legal and you are less likely to damage your car, it gets my vote.

i don't know if Merli would be saying the same thing after he broke his engine on a race track

i heard a quote once, one hot lap on a race track does the equivalent wear and tear to about 5,000 road km's....dunno the justification of this quote so take it with a grain of salt, but i know my oil temps can reach in excess of 130 degrees and i've never gone over 100 on the road or through the national park

just here to stir, continue on

[Duncan]

hahaha if thats true its no wonder my rb25det wore out, it had done 30days * 8sessions * 10laps * 5,000 = 12,000,000klm

I guess the point is the track is the place to speed not the roads. Sure it costs money on a track but you are unlikely to kill an old lady crossing the road.

But the bottom line is as a high profile public car forum we can't really afford to have threads saying speeding is OK, A Current Affair would be doing a story on us quick smart

Probably most of us have sped, but thats not the point. Obviously if you are doing more than a few klm over you know you are speeding. Don't complain if you get caught after a decision you made. This isn't a shot at anyone in this thread sicne they are copping it sweet

BTW the club is running a trackday at Wakefield on Monday 1 November, we are trying to organise these so our members can get it out of their system on the track

Oh, and if you don't to take your car on the track, hire an S2000 and thrash the fcuk out of it

[franks]

i'll have a car again one day

[Moanie]

lol!! agree with franks!

And tosh... there is no need to get so defensive and sweary! i'm not even sure what you mean.. i wasn't directing anything at you? I don't remember most of the track day events.. didn't realise there would be so many there! Good to see! and keep it up! wakefield is a great track, and the only one i'll venture to, for the moment! I will argue about relatively inexpensive.. thats very expensive for me!

noone is saying that the best place to speed is on the road.

And thanks for clarifying what team trackday was.. cause i honestly did not know!
