Sau Nsw Oran Park South Track Driver Training Day

[msnismo]

Anna's car doesn't rip epic skids...

No, I don't think this pic is old quite yet

lol.. I absolutely love that shot of my car!! I need it made into a signature!!

Alrighty I have just paid for one entry (my bank is weird so might take a couple of days to come through), il have to wait a couple of days to see if Dave can enter too... but more than likely he will. Both be in my line, so different groups please

NO idea which group as its been a while... will be on semis not slicks though ... I ran a 54 in the 200ZR last time out on south but that car was so busted with no brakes!! Pop me into whatever group, Im probably slower these days .... Dave hasn't driven OP at all (I am surprised!) but I am sure he will be faster than me but maybe not at first!!

[Yo-Yo]

how's the first timer group looking?, I'm 50/50 right now on attending

I'm gonna need new tyres soon so hey, maybe get them replaced before the event?

brake pads/fluid

anything else I need to consider?

[Duncan]

hey yoyo, unless the tyres are rooted just hold on. they will be even rooteder after the day, and you dont want to smash a brand new set of road tyres on the track.

most people who have been bitted by the bug end up buying seperate rims because semi-slick tyres last longer, are cheaper (per day) and perform much better.

[Duncan]

definately bleed the brakes with good fluid like motul rbf600 (or get someone to do it), and replace the pads if they are under 50%, you will put plenty of wear on them if you are giving it a bit (and judging by how you drove at texi I think you will....)

thanks for the advice duncan, believe me it's not a case of not sure about attending, I'll be the first one there lol just I REALLY should be spending this money on my house deposit on the other hand, it's gonna be my first and last chance for OP so why not?

my brake pads are still good, just probably want to replace them afterwards for peace of mind is all

tyres...my fronts are almost gone, i'd say 50% tread on outside edge for my fronts, will that pass for the day? rear tyres are still good

other than that my swaybars and springs are on and my exhaust will arrive before then, all I can say is I wish they came before texi

[GTRsean]

Money deposited!! I'd say group 3.....maybe.

I've been doing some research on preparation for club events. Here is a "check list" I found from the BMW Club of Qld. Looks pretty good.

Hi guys,

Are there any fees or is it even possible if I'm just going there to take a look and not track?

First time to OP so I'm pretty noob.

Thanks

spectation is free, or you could even be a flag marshall.

cheers eric

fark it count me in I guess, depends on a few things...

I'll take pics of my front tyres and you can tell me if I can run them for the day, cause believe me once you see them they're not gonna last for much longer after that

so my plan is to run out what's left of the stock tyres on the day then just get the tyres replaced after that...

so not looking to set any competitive times, just enjoy the track before it closes and have some fun

plus I have some leather driving shoes that I can use, but I doubt they are fireproof, will they be okay?

[benm]

Throw the used tyres onto the rear.
