Event_Booking_Form_.pdfAll,

As per below, following on from the SAU drive day we have another chance to do a Track day at OP Grand prix cct. These Aaron McGill track days are by far the best track day you ever get to do. All you need is a helmet, non flammable long sleeve top and bottoms and a drivers licence. There is no need to be club members or apply for a L2S, you just turn up and drive.

I know it’s a Monday and you will have to call in sick or take a leave day, but this normally keeps the idiots away and mid week days are always more fun and safer due to very few people being there.

The format of the day is very Open, first timers get 3-4 laps around the track with an instructor. We are then broken into Slow, Med & Fast groups and set out on the track for 20 min sessions. There are normally 3 qualified instructors available and we get to take passengers in each others cars, yes PASSANGERS, in today’s environment this is rare! We normally stop for lunch (BBQ supplied) and then have a 5 lap grid race, which again is very rare and is a once off experience that should not be missed.

We then return to 20 min sessions and then the last few hours is normally open track time for you to enjoy the rest of the day.

I have spoken to Aaron and he has agreed to a SAU club cost of $200 per person providing we can get 10 people. I think I can commit about 7 people from my work, so we only need a couple extras to get this price.

Post up if you are interested.

Aaron is available to if you have any other questions on the day, and payment can be made directly with Aaron and he does take visa. Make sure you tell him you are from SAU to get the discount.

Event form attached.

See you all there, and lets make this another good day!

Thanks, Paul

N1, I had the same issue so I just edidted the post and re-loaded the document. Its a PDF document, Aaron can email or fax the application though if this does not work.

Sindows,

Contact Aaron to find out about payment requirements

I thought id still be sick on the day, so didnt enter.

Needed flaggies anyway - so i helped out as best i could.

My GTR is all repaired - ill sort out the tyres, then add an oil cooler. Then im set

N1GTR,

No offical timing on Aaron's days, but Im looking to organise something that we can share around.

I dont know what the issue is with the PDF attachment, perhaps a Moderator can work it out, if you send me a PM with your e-mail address I will send a copy.

    • Still fast enough to have fun (kinda). Time for a modern turbo with a divided turbine housing and a proper twin scroll manifold. I think 400-450kW is a great place to be, provided it's all in before 4500 rpm.
    • i'm not at 600 though 😢 its 484hp (356kw) at the wheels.. 
    • Nice. 600ish HP is probably a nice place to be.
    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
    • Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot. Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like? I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.
