29th May Oran Park Gp Track Day

[J@y]

J@y this is what I did and was recommended to do:

- Check tyre pressures.

- Check/change brake pads

- Change brake fluid

- Change oil + filter

- Check all fluid levels, and bring spare engine oil and coolant also.

- Get rid of all the crap that moves around inside the car - empty the boot, lose the spare.

- Buy a helmet.

- Dont have the fuel tank 100% full as they leak fuel a lot of the time. Buy a $20 jerry can and fill it up with petrol, then fill the car up 1/2 or 3/4 and keep the jerry can with your stuff in the pits.

- Take a foot air pump (for tyres).

- Make sure car is balanced/aligned well

- Fire extinguisher

1. Tyre pressures i suppose is 36 psi ??

2-4. I am not realli a techno kinda person. Only knows how to drive. No time to go visit a mech to check things out too. (fingers crossed that my car will be able to withstand the trashing)

5. Hmm.. impt point. Being a lazy bastard, i realli have tons of stuff in my car. No wonder my fuel consumption is a bit on the high side.

6. Going to grab one on friday. Maybe the lane cove place ya guys recommeded.

7. If i run below quater tank, is there a fuel station nearby or on site?

Hmmm .. cant wait for monday to come. BTW, left a msg on aaron's mobile. He has still yet to call back yet.

Cheers

OK Thats 11 people paid and 6 people commited and not paid.

The weather is perfect turbo weather max 19deg and mostly sunny

If anyone has any last min questions or issues please call myself or Aaron.

My number is 0402847826.

Should be a great day, see you all out there

[steve_gts4]

awesome day! i sure had a good time

[OZ GTR35]

I trust everyone had a good time, pissed about the rear pads being gone and missing out on the 8 lap race, at least I got to do the first one, but there might be another time.

I hope Aaron continues to run these events and I hope we continue to support him as a club.

I would have thought that if we (as a club) did not attend today, it would almost have been his last. There were only about 10 other non SAU people there? 4 x fords, 2 x box's, 2 x race cars, the NSX, M3 and STI. I think we had 14 cars turn up.

It was a good day all round, and thanks for everyone who got out and had a go. If we keep the number up perhaps we will continue to have someone run these days.

[Wink]

Paul thanks for organising this - most fun day I've ever had in my car and I learnt so much with Aaron guiding me around.

whats with steve's oil puddle there wink? did he break his car again?

[Wink]

I'll let Steve fill in the details if you don't mind, as it's his car.

[Duncan]

and why did nath take the old girl instead of the fulsikgtr?

[Bonkers]

Nathan took both cars drunkan. Think he enjoyed the KC more - he can drive the bloody thing too. I reckon it has to be the best track day I've done. Last track day I did at OP I did 68km, today 286km. The 2 races were the best fun, gets the adrenalin pumping.

Thanks for organising Paul....

I'll sleep well tonight.

[fatz]

tops day

thanks for organising paul

the old silvia pealed off just over 100 laps

had a ball and i must say magill days are always a winner

[Kero]

Yeah thanx paul it was a ripper!!

the old silvia pealed off just over 100 laps

Yeah pretty much two full tanks the silvia went throught!!!

Especially loved the second race with the pit stops.

[Beer Baron]

yep it was a top day. I was a bit shakey after staying up till near 2 after the F1 last night, the up at 6:45... We rocked up late with the alfa but still managed around 100 laps too. I am absolutely wiped after a few post day beers at narrellan, then we stopped on the way home near badgerys creek for a 6 pack, then picked up another near home, had some beers and dinner, and i just got home 5 minutes ago. it's been a long, long day and i'm shattered now. Our car went flawlessly today which was unfortunately more than i can say for a few of the GTRs out, they were dropping like flies, plus there were more of them in the carpark not out there. damn shame.

who else has pics?
