Private track owned by the ex ceo of coca cola i think

This may be urban legend but the story on the Kulnura track goes like this -

The owner applied to build the track to be used for his private use in the '70's. Not surprisingly he was knocked back by local council. So instead he applied to build an access road, left out the fact that it had 22 corners and would be 5+ks long and it was duly approved........It does link from the road to the house.......

And his son wrote off his Maclaren F1 several years ago somewhere down around Akuna Bay. I remember reading the article and thinking it left my indiscretion of writing off my dad's old SR500 somewhat down the scale of young, dumb son screw-ups.

And what are you boys gonna do about legal liability / insurance? :banana:

hire jewish lawyer's to draft up a disclaimer form. but if you only have a small skid area, with a decent runn off area, maybe a few tyre stacks where any obsticles are, it wouldn't be a issue.

surely you would only embark on a basic testing/handling/manouver area, you wouldn't set up corner's 50-100 meters long and a track km's long.

and yes i have seen that sp episode.

At the end of the day, it's cheaper and easier enjoy places like sheparton.

kieren unfortunetly there arn't abandoned airports like on topgear, or unsused factories/stock yards, but yeh driver training days sounds like the go, then hit winton and maybe once again calder.

Laverton?

this is what my mate had back in the day..

his old man had a farm, and got sick of the cops calling about him being a dick on the streets....

so for his 21st built him a private skid pan.

been turned into a pen for cows with fences and stuff since he left home tho...

Reminds me of that South Park where Cartman buys his own theme park so he doesn't have to wait in queue for rides, then let's in one or two people to pay the maintenance guy to fix rides, and more people in after that to pay for other expenses...then bit by bit it becomes a not so private theme park :)

Truth is alot of people learn how to drive their cars on the street...because there's nowhere in close proximity or with subsidised cost to support this kind of thing, when there should be. Safe injecting rooms for hoons so to speak...but the government would rather help addicts kill themselves than give people with a healthy and tax benefiting passion a place to have fun :D

well said, totally agree.

"So much to do in Cartmanland, but you can't come! Especially Stan and Kyle."

That eps was funny xD

Of course if you owned something like DECA as a business...you'd have unlimited time whenever people aren't using it :P

Probably wouldn't be a bad thing to invest in right now, as the laws are getting stricter and stricter

i found this on the CAMS website under Vic Venues

Sprint Venues

Name: East Sale RAAF Base

Operator: RAAF Auto Club of East Sale

Phone:

Location: East Sale, Victoria

if the Sale RAAF airbase can run motor sport events, I don't see any harm in approaching other RAAF airbases

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
