Track Days In Early Jan 2013

[paulR32gtr]

My fiances old man is coming to Australia late Dec to early Jan for our wedding and I want to take him to a track day. He was a pro touring car and rally cross driver when he was younger so hes been asking me.

Anyone got any tips on what happens around this time? He is saying he would stay until the 10th/15th Jan, but might be able to twist his arm for the right track.

Winton's test & tune on the 6th Jan is the only thing I can find at the moment.

Obviously the ultimate would be PI, but doesn't look like much happens around then.

Cheers,

Paul

Yep it's a quiet period of the year and drives me up the wall - http://tamperedmotorsport.com may give you other Winton dates to look at if he's around that long.

Have you looked in prior years of natsoft for recurring events whose date location may be suitable?

Yeah that dawned on me last night! Maserati club looks like the go for PI - assuming they hold it second Friday of Jan again it should be the 11th. Funny looking through the entry llist not a single Maserati there.

Hi mate yep that's the one. Almost ready should be mid next week so no shakedown as yet. Was hoping to have it ready for DECA but was just too much still to get done.

Trying to find a suitable event to give it a run in the next few weeks.

FYI Paul - there will be no trackdays at Sandown during January as the facility is being shut down for maintenance
