Priceless

I'm running a Calder driver training day in May, I'll try and get a short track time for you. I'll probably still have my car by then, been in the paper for sevaral weeks and no bites.

Started at $28g and dropping the price constantly and still no bites.

Series II 96, perfect condition, heaps of mods and 25g of receipts. Car has been totally rebuilt and no bites , go figure.

I'm running a Calder driver training day in May, .

How much do you charge for this as I could do with more track training.

NEVER too old to learn Won't catch Snowman, but should be fun trying.

[Brutus]

The driver training day is at theis stage inhouse MX-5 Car club but if we have extra spaces i will post it in this forum late April. Would like to instruct eveyone but we have to have limits and obviously I have to help out those in the car club first.

Cost is usually around $150. If you are interested in this sort of thing, hook up with the alfa car club or Maserati clubs as they do several a year. Check the alfa site at www.alfaclubvic.net.au. They have a day at Winton in a few weeks. Neil Choi who organises these is a top bloke and very encouraging to newbies.

WRX club are very accomodating as several of you know, unsure what driver training days they organise but they are only to obliging to help out in practice sessions and give you an experienced driver to take you around.

Other option is to do a John Bowe Track dy. About $200-$250 but well worth it with one on one instructing with a V8 or Porsche cup driver.

Records for what?  Beating GTR's thats not so hard he he.

I've let this slip along for a while, but what the heck, time to post up a comment.......

Our cars tend to be built for a particular class of racing as determined by the CAMS. This means restrictions on the modifications, ones that the Zed is not limited to. For example we run a control tyre in Improved Production (Yoko A032R) and we are not allowed to use non standard panels (eg; no carbon fibre bonnets). We could easily build a GTR that would wipe the floor with the Zed, but then we couldn't race it in any class. Actually we could, it would be a Sports Sedan, but it wouldn't be competitive with the tube frame chassis that are allowed in that chassis. So for us it would be a huge waste of time, effort and money.

Don't get me wrong, John and the boys do a good job with the Zed, full credit is due there. But you can't really compare a car not built to regulations ie; unrestricted mods, to cars built to class regulations. So until someone comes along with the same usage requirements as John, then it's not truly a contest.

[Duncan]

well.....I know that feeling well, if you think improved production is a pain try production cars (3E).

But there are plenty of GTRs out there that are being which arent being built to rules that should be able to compete, I just don't know where any of them are?

maybe too busy at photoshoots and not out on the track enough

[88silhouette]

they should be driving 31s instead

[fatz]

yup 31 in the way to go

3e production (everyone are filthy cheats) boost cap..... lol

but hey if you dont get caught
