Sau Sa Track/social Day + Bbq! - 27/10/07

[salad]

Hi all, anyway, this is a continuation of the SAU SA club thread sorta.

My idea was that we should all head out to an open track day (no drift) at Mallala to see what sort of a turn out we get there so we can hopefully get this club started.

Sorry for the short notice, but I kept forgetting about it and have been really busy with uni lately...

Anyway, finer details were requested, so here they are:

Gates open at about 8:30 and then driving starts at 10am. All drivers must sign on first so if you want to go out straight away, it's probably a good idea to get there before 10. Driving finishes around 4pm.

All drivers are divided into groups and then groups are run in 15 mins sessions.

For those not interested in driving on the day, entry is free and I think it would be a good opportunity to socialise the SAU people from SA.

For those wanting to drive,

drivers need Helmet with AS1698 APPROVAL by CAMS, clothing (non synthetic) with full length sleeves and leg coverage.

CAMS LICENCES MUST BE SHOWN AT ALL PRACTICE SESSIONS.

NON LICENCE HOLDERS MAY PURCHASE ONE DAY CAMS LICENCE ON THE DAY FOR $20.00.

The practice fee for 2007 is $90.00.

Taken from http://mallala.com/practicedays.htm

You do NOT require a fire extinguisher, battery triangle, or secondary bonnet latch, but the fire extinguisher is a good idea to have in the car.

You can drive as hard or as soft as you want. It is not a race and "racing" is not allowed on the track, overtaking is only allowed down the straights, so you dont have to worry about not being up with the pace.

If you're going to be driving hard, make sure that your brakes and cooling system are up to scratch. If they're not, make sure you know when you slow down for a while

Madaz is organizing the BBQ (cheers mate ) and drinks. We just request that everyone bring a maximum of $10 to pay for all the food and drink. Prices should be finalised just before the date.

List of people attending so far:

According to the poll, there's more drivers, but I'm not sure who they are...

If your name's not on the list and you are coming, please tell me and I'll add you to the list.

If you're on the list and you're not coming, also tell me, this way we can try get an accurate idea of numbers and plan accordingly, especially for BBQ + drinks.

If there are any other questions about the day, feel free to ask, and I'll try answer them as best I can.

Cheers

Ah man I'd LOVE to come but have a track day on the following Monday (the 29th) Is it possible to arrange another time, the short notice really doesn't help any

[salad]

I'm sure we can arrange another one and actually organise it better too

I'm definitely going out to this one though as there only two other scheduled days (10th and 16th of Nov) for the rest of the year and I cant make either of them (exams on both days).

Unless people wanted to do the same thing for a drift practice?

I didn't think that would work as well though, as not that many SAUers seem to be interested in drift, the environment isn't as friendly as a circuit day (in my opinion) and entry is not free for spectators.

But if anyone is keen on that idea, the daytime drift prac is on Dec 9th. Should be similar times, but different format obviously.

[gtrkiet]

ooo dat sounds good especially with the bbq part =D

[boostdq]

hmm. I prolly come out to meet people and to watch. Not sure on racing. Only got street brake pads . If i can get hold of a helmet i might come out for a few sedate laps

[Madaz]

i reckon i will come out Luke if you want come in my car and save your car for when ever or follow or whatever

not sure i've met you yet salad so will be a good opportunity

i've printed out a list of user's and started getting who's interested just from the people who have been @ the last cruise just gone on Friday and i've put all the people who registered interest from dinner on it to talk with them some more about it

we all ready have one sponsor probably two and i can talk to you in more detail about that

[salad]

Yeah, I'm always keen to meet people

I'm not sure that I'll be driving at this one anymore, all didn't go as planned over the weekend and now have to spend another weekend pulling things apart

So would be cutting it damn tight to get out there driving... Will give it my best shot though!

[Madaz]

but as you say whether you drive or not its good for us to get out there and support who is so i shouldn't see this as stopping you from attending your own planned event ?

will give you more time to organise your BBQ

[salad]

Yeah, I would still head out, just wouldn't be driving

As for BBQ, well, umm... I'm really not sure how to go about it!

[Luke_ENR34]

would love to give this a go, but the car wont be up for it. might just come have a look and see how others go.

[Madaz]

as Joel has told me Luke we drive through the hills, our cars are fine for that so just drive on the track like your in the hills with the confidence theres no speed cameras.

As for BBQ, well, umm... I'm really not sure how to go about it!

umm i think its hotplate and snags = bbq you bring the salad

[salad]

Argh! But so little time to do things! Last 2 weeks of uni will do that to you...

[Luke_ENR34]

yeah true, might hold this one out and wait till the new wheels and coilovers go in.

mmmmmmm LMGT4's

[Madaz]

ok salad ill see if my mate wants to come out hes got one of these >>

ill round up about 2kg of snags and bread and sauce and see how we go from there Luke can bring drinks if thats ok maybe those little buddy bottles @ woolies ATM

depending on how many come we can all chuck in $2-3 if so i may just get the drinks Luke to make it easy

[sinistaGTR]

id be keen and i reckon deluxe will be too if his not i will kill him

[Kroozin]

Sounds good, I'd most likely come out for a look!

[salad]

Yeah, we need a good indication of numbers. By the thread now, it looks like 8 people and Joel (Cubes) will be there too.

So come on guys!

Madaz: Cheers heaps for organizing BBQ, I'm utterly hopeless at that sorta stuff, and the lack of time thing. If you want, I can go grab a slab of cans of coke and an esky on the way? Figure I should probably try do something for what I'm organising...

[bezender]

im keen to come check it out, might not make it out on the track, going to a 21st the nite b4.... prolly wont be much good for anything apart from feeling sorry for myself and sleeping on the 27th

[salad]

Oh, and what time was everyone thinking of heading out (non drivers)? I dont think I'd be that keen to get there as the driving's about to start, so I'm thinking about lunch timish? Like 12 or so?

Everyone elses thoughts about this time?

[salad]

Have added a poll so we can get an idea of numbers.

Please do not vote if you dont have the intention of actually coming.
