By far the worse run track day i have ever been to.

-First cars weren't  on track till after 10am due to lack of organisation, 1 hour loss right there, didn't even have the groups organised. Only did 1 session before lunch. WTF.

-Fast and slow cars grouped together

-Split come and try guys into 2 sessions for 12 cars total at start of day (seriously)

-Had 2 passenger sessions even though where way behind schedule, supp regs said 1 session

-Less than 60 cars but only managed 14 timed sessions.

-Did not provide trophies for class winners as stated in ad above. False advertising.

-adding to the unorganisation, couldn't hear what the announcer was saying because he kept trying to talk when there was cars screaming down the straight behind him.

-looked more concerned about selling sausages rather than running track day

You guys need to pull your finger out and organise your events properly if you want to have people returning to your track days. No one is perfect but this was just beyond a joke. Tried you out once, NEVER again. i now know why you guys didn't get a lot of entries.

Hey mate thanks for voicing your concerns.

I know Alex has already sent you a message, but I just thought I'd address some of these points too.

A lot of your comments are spot on and reflect our thoughts on the event also, however the division of labour fell with the HSCCV guys essentially running the track day while we were there to help them get their entry levels up after they got about 10 cars to their Winton day earlier this year (or late last year). The SUCC guys were relegated to BBQ duty after we handed our entrants over to them essentially, which put us in a position where we couldn't fix problems that were happening on the day.

If you're willing to give us a second chance we have a WInton day in November and I'm happy to give you a discount to make up for the poor quality of this event. Feel free to message me if you'd like some info.

    • full send the cnut, do this   fark the wrapping and/or stick on siet. These guys are the ones to go to: https://www.realthermo.com.au/  
    • Just had a look, they don't. Fuelling on the base map is purely alpha-N, and the ignition table is MAP. Remember it's just a base map to get the car moving  
    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
