Yes but need more details, when you say member is that a QLD raceway member or SAU member, how many booked in so far, rules etc?

My tyres are .... how you say .. kinda bald so how strict will they be?

Saturday 17th of september. Breakfast meet folks so get your names down.

This one is a relatively short notice deal but that wont stop us having fun.

Cost is 25 dollars per member and 30 dollars per non member.

20/30 minutes track time plus a bacon and egg breakfast included in the price....Get on it!

nate,

it is a SAU club event so your fee is $30 since you are not a member. common sense applies to this event - do something wrong that causes or almost causes a crash and you WILL know about it.

the whole idea is not to race but to get out on a track and enjoy yourself.

questions I'm happy to answer them ( I am an exec for the club) or shoot noel a message.

I am going out with my work folks that day.

have included the original post in my first link.....please follow that up to know the number of cars for the event.....

For those unfamiliar with happy laps the event is designed to allow people to dip their toe in the water of track work in an relatively safe and enjoyable environment.

There are no rules regarding safety equipment etc (helmets not required, wear what you want) but as this is the case and this is a FUN event not a serious one there are rules governing track behaviour.

Passing is only allowed on the straights unless the car in front specifically waves you past, the car making the pass has the responsibility to do so safely and will be held accountable for anything that goes wrong. No dangerous driving or high risk stuff (don't dive under someone under brakes, no drifting, don't pass mid corner etc), speed is meant to be limited to "spirited" driving but who knows what that really means when you have R35's, E85 powered Evo's, built monsters like Sugar Daddy @500hp etc on track at the same time as almost stock daily driver R and V series Skylines. I was hitting around the 170kph mark at the kink at lakeside last time we did one of these to give you an idea of speed.

Common sense is the rule of the day. It is a brilliant event and loads of fun and at $30 for non SAuQld members including breakfast is as cheap a track experience as you will ever find.

Would love to have more 35ers there. Most of the questions have been answered above but if you have any specific querys feel free to call me on. 0413863207

To add to what has already been mentioned, There is a limit to the number of cars permitted to participate in the happy laps event. Treat the day like you would a club car cruise. You are all driving (in the same direction...) for the fun of it. Just like a club car cruise, you are alowed to have some fun, but if you do something stupid, you will be asked to leave.

So having said all that, you guys need to come down and join in the fun and have a good feed at the same time. It's early, but it'll be worth it!

Thanks very much, i will come down, i cant get any new tyres fast enough so my current ones will have to do, and as you said its just for fun and to see what driving on a track is like. What is the limit and is it open to friends that dont have a nissan v35?

Also from 7.15am to what time?

If you have mates who are keen they'd be more than welcome. Last event we had 2 Evo 8's, an SLK55 AMG, R32 Golf, Suzuki Swift Sport and a few other ring ins. We need to confirm numbers ASAP so post up confirmation in the thread in the qld section.
