lol, cancelled if raining. Your too used to Qld life. If they cancelled track days when it rained they would run 3 days a year down south :(

In all seriousness. We will go ahead as usual if it is raining. The only time a day is cancelled is if the conditions are dangeous such as no visibility.

I love the opportunity to get out on a wet track - it happens so rarely up here. its great for refining al aspects of car control, and the experience will make you a smoother, better, and probably faster driver in the dry.

*shrug* well if it's raining, i guess i'm out, as a) i feel $120 is not too much to lose compared to possibly binning the car (and if the results of the southern trackdays are anything to go by, there's usually 2 or 3 cars that get binned each time it rains), or b) if i did get out there i would be pussyfooting it around so much that everyone would have a sook that i'm holding them up...

afternoon spot possibly for sale

Still make sure you come out even if you don't intend to drive if its raining. We have been out there and its raining in the morning and dry by lunch time. The weather is different out there to Brisbane proper.

As SirSkyline said, the wet days can be very good. And Dave is right, tyres don't get munched as bad, engine temps are never a problem, brakes don't overheat.

The thing is you have to go out with a sensible attitude, and I'd say all our guys do that. That's what our track day is all about.

At the end of the day you, and you alone, have to be comfortable with the wet track, if you are unsure then don't go out. $120 is not much to lose. Its a personal choice. Don't feel pressured, as these guys are just joking around.

Sorry, officials won't have time for happy-snaps. Serious business is afoot and we need discipline!! None of the lolly-gagging around that has occurred in the past!! Military precision is the minimum expected and all will obey the iron will of the officials!!

Nah...... bugger that.... lets have fun!!!

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
