Dumb question but what do u actually do at a track day ?

Is it just you skyline guys or are their a 100 other sorts of cars ?  

Are you free to just cut laps as you please or do you have a certain time period etc ?  

I'd love to go to a track day just so that i can work out the limits of my car on a wide open circuit without the worry of cops or other cars.

We line up and parade around the track at 60km/h.... :uh-huh:

Just kidding. It's anycar that's willing to give it a go. You go at your own pace, but it's split into 3 groups. Fast, med, slow. You don't have to put in blistering laps, but it would be nice to see it though.

Fatz is right, at the track it's all a package. driver and car.

Hey, I think Duncan meant circuit racing at the Creek with street cars , street tyres & pump fuel.  

lol! For once I meant try the EC drags! I guess I've got this most horsepower wins at the drags thing in my head. Granted, learning to launch a car takes skill, but after that its just hang on for the next 10 sec.

Yeah, I reakon if you want to test driving skill, try circuit racing. Horsepower is far from the most important on the track, check out the mods (or lack thereof) on the fastest SAU track cars.

Oh, and Vishes, in my experience, if someone hits your rear bumper, its cause they were going faster than your car, not slower...

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
