One For The Group A Nut's + More Fun!

[Jetwreck]

Hi All,

Small intro.

My name is Craig Markland. My father own's the Group A GIO GTR and I drive for Caz who own's the Group A DR30 + I may be able to get access to a couple of other Group A's....be it R31, BMW's or Sierra's!

We were recently going through how to keep these cars on the track as they require a considerable amount of work and money(like most race car's) and to do so and one of the idea's was to do a track day with passenger ride's. So what I was thinking was to hire out EC for the day(rape!!) with a car club(preferably SAU) to share some of the track hire, insurance and ambulance costs.

The thought behind it was to have passenger rides in the Group A's + a bit of a track practice and setup for some other car's and driver training as well if wanted.

Like I said this is only in thought atm but if it get's enough interest it may be worthwhile doing. The ride would be for about 4 lap's per person(1 laps warm - 2 at speed - 1 cool down) and I cannot commit to a price yet.

Anyway just putting it out there guy's to help keep the Nissan Australia Heritage alive and maybe feeling what these things can actually do and why we think(know) they were so great in there time!

P.S. Sorry Admin if I have posted this in the wrong area....feel free to move it if wanted!

cheers

Craig

Craig - get in touch with Steve - N1GTR being the NSW pres

EC being very pricey, other option is wakefield?

I'd be more than happy to take you for a few laps in any one of the classic Nissans Craig.

Let me know a date and time that suits.

LOL!....I'm sure you would!.....and judging by what I have seen of your driving (from about 2" away) I'm sure your more than capable....but................!

[Marlin]

How about lining it up for the practice day prior to Superlap? Could tie in well, have a chat to Ian mate!

[Duncan]

or even better at superlap....who wants to see drift demos at a super sprint

[Victory]

You could count me in - I would love to go for a run in a Gibson built GTR.

This!

[Marlin]

Yeah, off topic, but I'm suprised the drifters are running again, make the track filthy, not good for times.

[phunky_monkey]

I thought they were running at night instead now? SHould give time for the track to get cleaned up.

I like the Group A demo idea, that would be great.

[N1GTR]

I was talking to people about this (including your dad) at dinner last week, send me your phone number and we can chat

[Duncan]

Pass. Friggin time wasting excercise that.

[wrxkilla]

+1 for no drifting.

Some Group A super sprints would be good.

[GODZLA]

Anything further on this yet Craig?

I have been waiting to hear any progress on the group A passenger rides.

It would be a once in a lifetime experience.

[Jetwreck]

Mate does not seem to have generated enough interest ATM!

I'm still keen though!

Hey Craig, How come the GTRs didn't run with Group A/C at Bathurst this weekend? I was hoping for a photo of a GTR through the esses/dipper, but was disappointed
