Track Time!

[minger]

does anyone know where we can go to get some track time??

Requirements>??

Cost??

better to cut loose on a track than on the street --> mr plod don't like that too much

[heslo]

Been wanting to organise an SAU track day for some time but have no idea of where to start and what's involved. Would DEFINATELY be interested in something like this

[vange]

ill b interested...

[Deluxe]

It's a good idea BUT to hire Mallala just for a weekday it's a solid few thousand because they need a firey and ambo peeps i believe, as for the weekend well thats a good few MORE thousand! As for A.I.R. I believe it's useable now, but not sure on the quality of it as i havn't seen it lately, and i have no idea of costs there...... one would think ALOT cheaper than Mallala. I'd say check the Mallala website and go out in a group and just cut laps on a practice day and have a BBQ lunch and stuff, would be a hell of a lot cheaper than hireing any track....... Just a thought

I looked into this once, for a weekend day its ~$3000-3800, ambulance on standby at track is approximately $800 for an 8 hour session. These prices are off the top of my head as I can't find my original email and it was a while ago. But basically the prices are great if you can organise 30-50 people, => 50 under $100 but otherwise for a small group it might pay to all turn up to a open circuit day and pay the $100

i would pay 100 for a whole day at mallala, mmm...

AVGAS?

[Hella Flush]

i too have investigated the above figures and its about spot on... unless you can get cams to approve a grant for the day (my contacts with cams board are no longer so im out of the question) then we wont be able to... generally you can get a grant for cams to cover part of the $ (say half)...

if anyone does want to try and round up 40 cars id be more than happy to pay 100-150 for a full 8hour prac day... grip and no grip

[heslo]

I'd also pay $100-$150 for a full day of going out there! I don't think that it would be too hard to round up 40 people between all of us here to go in for it

[Maxx]

tried to organise a track day, u will receive plenty of people reply "i am keen".

And under 10 that will hand out the money at the final stage coz most people's car is not ready

better join mallala's pratice day if u want to hit the track

yeah im going to the track 1 day chris in his black GTR wants to go also and lee in the silver 4 door 34

[Cubes]

I'd head up there, I would have to take it a little easy (not running nice exxy brake pads) but would most definitely still hit the track.

I would like to get subframe bushes and 3.9 diff installed prior.. If not its no biggy, just lay big single spinners as I leave corners.

[Madaz]

sif u need to worry about brakes ill swap ya my rotors and calipers

[Cillham]

I'm hoping to get to the september one

Its easy. Just turn up for one of the practice days.

Only costs around $80 from last time I did it from memory.

You get around 5 sessions of 15min each.

That was with bikes, cars and open top cars all having their own 5 sessions.

Is great fun you can go at your own pace with no real rules pitched at you except common sense.

There can be anything from race cars to toyota echos.

Helmets long sleeves etc needed of course.

Only thing I can say that intentional drifting is out as there are other cars out there trying to get around as quick as they can and may get pissed off.

Last time I spun out a few times as I built up a little more courage trying a little too hard.

Count me in for a day out. I dont get to many SAU functions but definetly in for a track day.

i'll be in for one of these praccy days, i think on top of the $80 you'll need a day cams license too i think?

[DC_GTST]

Depending in the date and time bro and myself will be in for it

Pretty sure no cams licence needed

[Cillham]

you need to buy a 1 day cams licence for $20. The track itsself is 80 or 90 bucks. Fill your tank up to the brim too ;D

[Busky2k]

Don't forget replacing stuffed tyres and brakes afterwards. The admission is only a small part of the overall cost!

And yeah if the date is good, I'd be up for it.

[Tangles]

If everyones working to a singular date, Id be in !

................ would wind down the boost tho, LOL
