E.o.i. An Informal Track Day

[Dr.J]

Hi all,

I recently ran a Track Day at the Midvale Speed Dome, and it was great fun.

It was informal, there was no requirement for a CAMS licence, and all you needed was a roadworthy car and some basic safety gear.

All who attended informed me that they really enjoyed themselves, as it was a good opportunity to get their car out on the track, and poke it with a stick.

A few drivers also used the day to test out various settings and additions that they'd made to their car.

I'm planning on running another day like the previous one again, possibly either at the end of this month, or in the beginning/middle of June.

The previous event was a full day (9am - 4pm) and included lunch in the middle.

The cost was $150 per driver, and there were 12 drivers.

I'm asking for expressions of interest at this stage, with a date, final numbers and final cost to be confirmed.

Please let me know in this thread, and I'll update as necessary.

Thanks!

Drifting allowed?

[Dr.J]

Yep!

Although through certain sections it wouldn't be advisable! They're a bit narrow...

[V8or4X4]

Awesome! I wish my car was up for it.. Can't wait till she's ready. Anyone know if there are any driver-training days coming up? It's been a big switch from my V8 fairmont to the GTR.

[V8or4X4]

Also, what are the literal car and personal requirements? Can someone who's lost their license drive?

[Jonno34]

Sounds good! I'd love to come, the skylines n/a and I've never done anything on a track before though, but would love to give it a go and have some fun!

Same for June.

Helmet - Gogear in ossy park is where I got mine from, 70-80 IIRC for the cheapest ADR approved one.

Ps fine.

[Jonno34]

sweet!

Will go pick up a helmet soon if I can go ahead with this cheers James

Looking forward to this and hope it works out well

[Dr.J]

Yes P plates are fine.

As well as Go Gear, Cully's Yamaha on Wanneroo rd in Balcatta also do cheap helmets.

Will advise on a suitable date once I hear back from organisers...

Keep a close eye on this thread!
