Mallala Practice Day 31 May 08

[Blue32]

Itching to get the GTR out on the track again and thought I would head out on Saturday the 31st to get some more laps in after some 'changes' of late to the beast. I think entry is $100 plus $25 if you need a day licence - might be the last chance to get out there before the real winter weather sets in? Anyone else want to come out and exercise your 'line in their natural environment?

Here is the info from Mallala Motorsport Park website:

Mallala Practice day regs

Pretty much just need an approved helmet and long pants / long sleeves. I would recommend an extinguisher in car as well.

This is a regular practice day for cars organised by Mallala Motorsport Park itself - haven't been for awhile but I believe it is pretty much an open track situation, and you could be on track with other competition cars of varying calibre, although there is no reason or requirement to 'race' these guys or each other, you can track at your own pace.

id come out, but i just found out the car has no boost control..

[Luke_ENR34]

i might come out for a look. See what im getting myself into the next couple of months.

if my pay rise from work comes through before this rolls around might bring the 31 out for something different and see how it handles in a straight line. will wait and see if work get their ass in gear.

I'd do it, but I'm a truly shithouse driver. I'd go to watch tho

[skylineguy19]

[Blue32]

couldnt drift if my car did it for me hahahaha

so sad!

[Ryanrb25]

well im very keen and if nothing comes up between now and then well youll see me out there.

These days are good to get a taste of what its like to drive around mallala.

Practice days can get very congested though and you can end up with very little track time.

Although if you get a day that not many people turn up you get more track time than the car can handle.

Also they will not let you drift at all if the officials see you drifting they will boot you off quick smart. Drift practice is usually held afterwards anyway.

All you guys that have a CAMS licence and have a bit of experience should really come and try the collingrove hillclimb on the 25th may. It is is no way grueling on the car and will be a good warm up for the practice day.

do Mallala run grip days in the wet? (yes I realise that's a bit of a paradox )

I'd be keen for a grip day or 2 when I can afford it, which won't be until midway through winter when it will probably be pretty rainy. If theres no grip days run in this time then looks like I'll be out for skids prac days instead.

[darkhorse]

hi everyone~!

i might be pretty keen as it sound like a fun day. i have never been on a track and don't have any sort of special licence apart from normal SA licence.... Can i still join in and have a drive on the track?

another thing is, if i end up getting on the track, what are the essential things that the car needs to be preped with? (with budget in mind...) My 33 is pretty much stock with filter and exhust...

cheers~

[Krishy]

I think you can take any car on the track....as long as you have long leg pants, long sleeve, and a approved heltmet......and presto your ready to go mate

[JDM032]

was gonna go then i realised i got no tyres anymore lol

my car hates to grip anyway wen i corner hard, so no grip days for me

slip nites though maybe
