Villa Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hi there guys, looking for some info. I'm a recent red p plater, living in northern parts of Sydney. I'm basically looking for a place to race with mates and just 'go fast' by myself. Like, I pay a certain fee or something and I get to do laps till my hearts content. I'm not that good, and hope that it's open to new people as well. Yeah, just hoping there's a place that's also not too expensive, and preferably close to where I live. Thanks guys!

lingeringsoul Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I think wakefield has days like that, I remember it as being pretty cheap. Drive there, pay fee, then drive to your hearts content around the race track until you get tired or your car breaks. Only problem is that its 2 hours away.

Villa Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Cool man that's what I'm looking for! I suppose I don't mind driving too far ey if that's the only option. I've heard of Eastern Creek near Blacktown, do they ever do anything there? That should only be say 1 hrs from my place. Are there any clubs I could join that do this kind of stuff?

I've heard of Eastern Creek near Blacktown, do they ever do anything there? That should only be say 1 hrs from my place. Are there any clubs I could join that do this kind of stuff? eastern creek is usually really busy, but there are practice days every so often. I think their practice days are $120 or something and an actual track day there is more expensive. Otherwise, there's always Oran park, they usually have about 5 or so days every month for practice and they are only an hour away.

Villa Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Heh unfortunately I don't have a skyline. =( I'll be driving a 2006 mazda 3 neo (stock) that I share with my brother. Any other clubs or anything? I suppose the only way that you can get practice days in is to join a club that does it? Or can you just book it for yourself, and maybe a couple of mates? 2 or so.

SECURITY Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 you dont need to become a member of skylines australia NSW to drive on the track. just get an AASA licence (cheaper at $50, rather than $85 for a cams + $55 for sau membership) from wakiefield park as you're just starting out and probably wont want to head over to eastern creek just yet - lots of things to hit... like walls. i'd definitely start at wakiefield park till i build my confidence up as its wide open spaces and plenty of room to run off the track. then i'd start looking at getting a cams license if you want to do another track once you've increased your confidence/skill.

evil_weevil Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 My advice.... Join Any CAMS affiliated club (Of course, SAU NSW on tope of the list ) Get your L2S CAMS licence This allows you to participate in alot of events. You can then do practice days at Oran Park and Eastern Creek. Wakefeild as Joe said is a great track for first timers. They have open days every week. My advice is keep an eye on car forums, and see if they have any skid pan or track days coming up. guys over at www.autosports.com.au have track days with pro drivers for training. so Go hard Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/214019-looking-for-places-to-casually-racejust-go-fast/#findComment-3779412 Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1GTR Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 AASA isnt accepted everywhere, so IMO its smarter to spend the extra bit more now than the whole lot again in the future Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/214019-looking-for-places-to-casually-racejust-go-fast/#findComment-3779738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SECURITY Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 personal opinion would be to do wakefield park a few times. you wont go more then 3-4 times in the year, it'll cost $50 for the AASA. if you do the whole cams licence you'll be up for around $150 and you'll only really do wakefield park as its alot safer. by all means - go ahead and try eastern creek but its not the most beginner-friendly track there is. so like i said. $50 for AASA and do wakie - get to know your car on a safe course then look into getting your cams licence. at least if you choose to go for the more advanced tracks you'll only be out $50, rather than around $100 (-$50 for AASA) if all you're going to do is wakie. and sau are nothing but a bunch of c*nts anyway lol. p.s. welcome to sau.

DECIM8 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) As if this is not the best thread ive ever seen a RED P plater ever post, nice work buddy. All you have to do is get your mates to follow suit and make sure your confidence you get from offroad racing is not seen on the streets. Wakefield is the safest from what Ive heard as the corners are mostly sand trapped and walls are far far away.. just take it easy every 6th lap or so to cool her down and sell be right.. best to get some aftermarket gear like temp sensors isntalled so it does not become a expensive task. Also you'll need a Helmet, Upgraded brakes, and to check all fluids before you head out Drag way is another option WSID!!

I don't get it, Joe - is that deep-seated sarcasm or are you just having a laugh? Sometimes I'm not so sure (even considering I've met you a few times), and people who've just joined the forums won't know either. Please take that into consideration when you post...
