Im happy to organise if we can get some numbers together.

Which is closer to the city, Calder or Winton?

Calder has open practice days on Wednesdays, @$165 pre vehicle &

Winton has open practice days on Friday 12th September and Friday 26th September, i have sent them an email concerning $$$

So who would be interested?

yer, but that said, i think if you can get the numbers together and put up some good $ it will be viable..

kevwrx is able to organise a training/track day but it depends what exactly you wanted to do. I think some training could be useful for some of us (me definitely included :rofl: )

I'd be up for it, assuming my car is all back and running nicely by then.. Should all be fine, but you never know.

Im checking Winton that road registered cars are able to attend their open days, just like at Wakefield in NSW.

This way the day will be run using their insurance, medics & rescue vehicles and the day runs irrespective of 1 or 20 Skylines attending.

As for driver training im sure there are some experienced Vic guys about that can help the 1st timers punt their cars around.

As long as you drive within your cars, and your own limits you will be fine. Plus Winton looks like a nice safe twisty little circuit

Im waiting to hear from Calder Park concerning Wednesday 10 September

As far as i can tell your cars only need to be roadworthy, and driver hold a current drivers licence. Add to that a tank full of gas and $165 and we are cooking.

Helmet, Driving suit (available for hire) and Drivers License. Im hoping cotton pants and long sleeve shirts will suffice, will post when i get word.

pfft, we aint poor in mel!!

whats a few $100 to have a good time.

Put me down, if i am in the state then ofcourse!!

Roy, I'm pretty sure that Calder was re-registered last month when it went broke. Im not sure what theyre running there now, but they wont have CAMS public liability cover so I doubt they'll be open for anything.

Good luck getting some of those vics into Team Trackday :D

... and heres Tony Cochraine sending races OS, so Bob Jane tiff with the powers to be finally got the better of him.

Might explain why i havent had a response to my emails?

Im determined to get on a Vic track, i might go back to emailing both Winton and Calder.

    • 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
