You guys are idiots!!!!

But thats why I love ya's!!!

Of course all are welcome, but perhaps I think that this time we might make it that all newbies must sit in with an experenced driver for the first session. This way they can learn some of the lines and hopefully increase their enjoyment for the rest of the day.

What do you all think?

I will ring Tracey now and see what sort of a deal motoconcepts can offer us if we bring 15ppl.

Report back soon.

That sounds good to me - I'm a newbie and I'll take any tips I can get !!

Brendon,

When I went out for the first time in NOZILR i was so slow for my first few sessions, for the last session OZ97GTR rode with me and showed me how to take the lines etc and it was like i was driving a different car - i was keeping up with a GTR on the corners (or course he was losing me on the straights and exiting the corners)... well worth getting somebody experienced to sit in for your first session. I will get somebody to do it again when the 180 goes out (its MUCH more tail happy than the 'line!) ..

long sleeved shirt and long pants and a helmet - if you dont have it, buy it or borrow it, you wont get on the track without it.

clear the car RIGHT out too before hand.

Hey all,

I'm just waiting for motoconcepts to call me back. thought they would have by now. anyway, We usually work on a base figure of 15 cars minimum. This day will be the same. If we get 15 cars it will be a discounted rate, if we don't then it will be the three or more rate.

Usually we have about 18 cars that are supposed to be coming, and only 10 - 12 turn up. so this time, if your only a maybe then please say that. If you have time off and can definatly make it then and only then say that your definate.

I'll talk to you all soon,

Dan.

I will try and make it, but car is off the road at the moment.... put me down for 50% chance of coming.... Should be picking up the car this week... will confirm if the cars running good.

Thanks

Julian (haven't driven my car for a bloody month now)

I may be able to come depending if i get my car on the road by then... Also i just had a rebuild so when get it back the car will be running low K's and will not be worn in so i dont want to over do it on the track... Is it possible to drive on the track with a suspended licence?

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
