They are 2 different cars, so that means 2 down the tubes.

ONARUN and NISMO, in answer to your questions Richard Colley has replied: > * Roughly how long will we have with an 'instructor'? The basic structure of the day is the morning is time only for newbies. No others allowed on the track. Then the rest of the day is an open track day. During the morning, the typical session is; instructor drives your car with you as a passenger - usually 3-5 laps just to show you the basic line around the track etc. Then you'll pit and swap over - and head straight back out. You'll then do roughly another 5 laps with the instructor offering advice. We keep the laps small to rotate amongst people as quickly as possible. If you still want further instruction, you will probably be able to grab another instructor and go back out in the morning for a repeat of this. Now, the instructors will be available the whole day. After this morning session, feel free to ask one of the instructors to go back out with you ... I'm sure they'll be happy to do so. > * and roughly how long on the track overall? This is harder to give you a good feel for. As the day wears on, fewer people are lining up, and so there is plenty of opportunity to get lots of track time. After the morning session, we will usually allow people to do around 5 laps per run. By the end of the day, this is normally up to around 8-10 laps. We try to keep the field small (40+ people) to give everyone plenty of track time. It depends also on how keen people are ... if they line up and are ready to go out, then they'll tend to get more track time than someone who spends most of their time in the pits. The track will close somewhere between 4 and 4:30pm. I forget which. We'll try and keep the track open as long as possible, but Wakefield will tell us to close down around this time. Also, barring snow, the day will run - good or bad weather. I've been to a few of these days so far, and we've never had a rainy day. So hopefully it doesn't start this time, but we've no control over this (of course). > * Will passengers be allowed? Unfortunately, passengers will *not* be allowed. Well, except for the instructor and driver during instruction. Wakefield won't allow it - probably for insurance reasons. Sorry about that. Any more questions, just post 'em up

Once again........If you intend going to this Track Day then PM Oz GTR97V (click on members at the top of the page, find Oz GTR97V and PM from there). ManNGolf, as stated in the first post this one is $130.00 for us as a group. rb20sillouette, it is a chance for you to get your car out on the track and give it a run without the fear of a speeding ticket. During scrutineering they will pay particular attention to your car if it is not registered. If you have any questions go to www.motoconcepts.com.au and contact Dave Stone. Ask Paul (Oz GTR97V) if he can set you up with someone who can show you the way around the track. :burnout:

4.30 - 5.00pm I would think.:confused:

The Honda Car Club of NSW are running a Driver Training Day at Wakefield Park on the 15th September, 2002. From all accounts this is a very well run day and well worth doing. __________________________________________________ HONDA CAR CLUB DRIVER TRAINING DAY Wakefield Park Sunday, 15th September 2002 Yes! It's on again, our ever-popular Driver Training Day. For those of you who have enjoyed them before, it's time to rejoice, and for those of you who are new, here's the lowdown: You begin the day with scrutineering, to make sure that your car is safe, then you get a ride around the track with an instructor. Our instructors are experienced club members who have raced for many years in production cars, Club Cars, and Supersprints. Then we jump into the car with you, and help you fix your lines and polish your style. We do not make you perform brake exercises, or anything like that; the focus of the day is to allow you to enjoy your car at speed in a safe, open environment, and we are there to help you improve your driving, to have fun on a racetrack and generally to do the right thing. The afternoon is for you to hit the track and practice, and generally have a bit of a play. Wakefield Park is one of Australia's newest and it is the safest racetrack, a modern circuit with more than generous run-off areas, and an intelligent layout. In the past, our members have used these days mainly as social events, where you can meet and greet fellow enthusiasts, talk cars, and open up your car in the manner in which it was designed for. Swap cars if you like, and there will be a lot of experienced Honda Car Club members who can help you with mods and advice. We are not expecting you to become Michael Schumacher, or break the lap record, just to have fun and socialise. So if you enjoy cars, come along. Wakefield Park is like a playground if you enjoy driving, with lots of corners, fast and slow, and a very generous straight. By all means bring your mates, and you don't have to be a Club member to enter. You will need a helmet. If you can't get hold of one, there will be some available at the track for hire, but do advise us on the form below as we have to book them ahead. You won't need a extinguishers or anything, just long pants and sleeves (and non-flammable clothing, please). Cost will be $90 for members, and $115 for non-members. A discount of $10 will be given if you pay your $50 deposit before 15 August 2002. You will need a Wakefield license (valid for 12 months and available on the day - approx. $30) or a CAMS C3 or higher license. Wakefield Park is along Braidwood Road, Goulburn. If you need a map, ring Richard Colley on 0410 664 140, and we will fax you a map. The day starts at 8.30am for scrutineering (circuit will be open from 10.00am - fog permitting). To lock your spot in, please fill in the form below, and send a $50 deposit to: Richard Colley, 28/21 Johnson St, Chatswood 2067. (Cheques payable to: Honda Car Club of NSW Inc.) Richard.Colley@rcolley.com __________________________________________________ Go to the link for the form and return it to Richard Colley. If you have any questions post them here and I will find out the answers or email Richard directly.

Any chance of seeing it with red in the lights Ryan? looks good

There will however be a "Chip Tax" levied at all cruises etc. If you have hot chips and a com. member walks up to you, you will be obliged to give them some

The commitee positions will come up for election every year at the Annual General Meeting. We are yet to set up a regular General Meeting schedule, be it monthly or tri-monthly or whatever. This will be determined by the number of members and the regular activities that are being run (SuperSprints, Track Days, Councourse, Motorkhanas etc). Eventually, if we get the numbers, I can see it being a very active club. As well we can be involved with other clubs at many events. Keep 'em coming Brendan. The more questions from everyone the better

ByBy, would I get any performance increase by adding the dump pipe ONLY? System is a standard one with no bleed valve etc. thanks

Aah...not stupid at all. That's the way it has to be done.

NISSAN originals seem pretty good for the street. Hardly any wear, even on the occaisional track day. Boring I know, but practical

Palm beach is a top destination. Parking shouldn't be too bad in the middle of winter either. There's always Whale, Avalon, Bilgola, Newport, Mona Vale or the boat ramp carpark at Bayview as well. I'll probably meet up with you guys at the final destination. See how it goes.

Duncan, you should know by now that this is no place for any factual or scientific evidence.

I use an ATE product. It's blue and boils slightly below the temp SRF does, but cost about half the price. Bleed them before each track day. Some people say right after as well. I have never had a problem with brake fade but I try not to punish them too much either.

5 months!? Wow these guys really know what their doing The most "interesting" thing was the Insurance Co. sent it back to the nobhead dealers where it was pinched from (after me specifically asking them not to send it there) to get re-keyed and they stuffed it up. Anyone want to know where NOT to send their Nissan, BMW, Renault, Hyundai, Honda, Kia, Suzuki or Mini just PM me.

Another example of a marketing department coming up with some hokey idea to sell cars. Like when they put mudflaps, headlight protectors and a spoiler on a car and call it the "Sports Pack". pffft!

Thanks Duncan I was not aware of the change.

Don't forget to use the inside of the curb for the extra high grip!

Long sleeves and trousers, not flammable( ie no Nylon etc) cotton and wool OK. Helmet. Decent shoes, not plastic. No oil leaks, decent amount of tread on tyres. goto www.motoconcepts.com.au

Happy Birthday Bell-End

yeah, 'nuf said. Just remember the street is not the place for this stuff.

Your use iof the word "track" here indicates you are out of touch with reality. wot? you mean sensible or socially responsible??? You wrote it in black and white, pretty unambiguous. There's allways the "what if??" What if you spin as a car comes the other way? What if a vehicle has broken down around one of the many blind corners on OPH? What if there is some knucklehad from teamevade overtaking over double yellows coming the other way? Yes I will slurr/slander/vilify/whatever the club if you as a group condone this behaviour. Take it to the track before you kill some innocent person, because you guys are obviously not smart enough to realise the problems associated with this sort of behaviour.

echo echo echo I'll be working so contact Oz

Hey MRK25T were you nme on SDU? Got your car yet buddy?

well he pushed it past the limit for the conditions. take it to the track knuckleheads
