Mallala Grip Practice Day

[D_Stirls]

they are about $30-$40 from any Auto shop from memory so not that expensive, and it's a good idea to have one in the car anyway.

For anyone going to the grip day on saturday, we are meeting at the Caltex pt wakefield rd at 7am.

Theres a nice cool breeze right now

Ok here's the run down,

I spoke to a few guy's from the Austin 7's club about the modern Reg' day on Sunday as the max' temp is supposed to be 25. Normally the entry forms have to be in by Wednesday but they will let us enter on the day we just have to be there by 8:30am, i'll give them a call tomorrow with rought numbers just so they know how many extras are coming .

If you read Chad's link you will know most of this;

You have the have a road worthy car (Street Registered) Car, you must have a blue triangle to show the location of the battery, you must have a rear tow hook (If you are running the factory rear bar you will have this), you need an extinguisher (at least 900g) and a helmet.

As for the day licence I will find out and get back to you all tomorrow.

As for track time i have been told by people who have entered this event previously that it compares to a track day. The first session is short and they gradually get long throughout the day until the last session were you will be on the track for around 25 minutes.

Im pretty keen on this still, I don't have a cams licence and im not a member of a car club, so let me know what you can do

[jenkies]

I thought fire extinguishers were expensive, thats good then.. I'm very interested in running Sunday for sure

[Moodles2]

With fire extinguishers, can we get away with them being in the boot or cabin, or do they need to be securely mounted with Modern Regularity?

[D_Stirls]

Hey Lance PM me your number and i'll give you the rundown.

For anyone else interested we have to have the forms in today, they won't let us join on the day but they will let us join if we get the forms in by this arvo'.

Track grip days are typically no issues when it comes to being defected when leaving.

Drift prac days etc is where you have to shove the car on a trailer in fear of being defected when leaving.

Well boys and girls, the GTR is trailered up and ready to go. Gonna have to keep a keen eye on the times, but tomorrow will serve as a shakedown on the new sus and setup for next sunday (porsche club super sprint). Usual meeting spot - LEAVING at 7 am (ie get there a few minutes early for the hearty breakfast!). Dale - leave earlier, it is not 5 minutes to everywhere in Adelaide from your place........

[Luke_ENR34]

Well i just got home. Had a ball. Weather was a killer in the morning with water temps around 100 degrees.

The Cool change came around 1.30 and dropped water temp around 10 degrees.

Lex had boost issues so he only done 4 full laps. After the 1.30 sessions i was the only one on the track.

And yes i did spin, yes i got some 4wheel drift hehe.

cant wait to do it again.
