V8 Race Experience

So, frysie and i went to calder today so that he could drive a v8 super dooper car.

Good day for it, weather was perfect. here are a few images i took of the morning.

Ryan even got offered a job there.

Let me guess-those things are a near stocko with a cage, bigger brakes a bit of suspension work and an exhaust

[allblitz]

What kind of job?

[R32Big_boy]

Yeah pritty much. They sound tough, go rather hard, and have full slicks.

Oh and an instructor job.

Cheers guys,

Wasnt sure what to expect of the day, but now i can recomend this to anyone who wants a crack at the track in someone else's car with a bit of help. The cars are ss's and XR8's but are stripped, have dba brakes, slicks, better clutch and a cage. They are a bit of fun, except that they have ABS and traction control.. (it would save them a heap of money on tyres). My instructor was a champ, i had a gift certificate for 5 laps, and we did 9! not complaining!

If anyone is stuck for a presant for someone, i recomend this

Thanks for the photos bigbird

Awsome stuff!

My bro had a go at the V8 experrence and loved it! Back for my 21st, I hid the dome in an AUScar. That was fricken awesome. Great fun. Would loved to have opened it right up and gone hammer and tong, but the instructors were a little tight.

These guys were good like that. they say you can go as slow or as fast as you want, as long as you dont keep going off.

nice dude, What lap times did you do? Recon the 180 could of taken it

[GTRgeoff]

Nicely done mate. What's a 5 lapper worth?

[Belsil80]

Ferni:

na, no times, was on the small track. but i recon it would be pretty close, maybe a bit quicker in a straight line, and a bit more grip in the corners - slicks compared to my plastic tyres.. but mine would handle better if it had grip.

Geoff, i believe its about $200.

got this as a present 4 a mate 4 his 21st with a few of the boys...8 laps is $300 5 laps is $200...he hasn't gone yet but is really looking forward to it

I've done this in both the Commodore V8 and a Formula Ford.

It's the best!
