Will there be people there to show us lines and stuff through corners etc?  Maybe some of you guys that have done it a few times before?

Tah.

Me too , Me too !

Sure Merli, I can take you for a spin, you're doing well to get to those sorts of speeds, I only get to ~200, which is on the limit for those tyres in turn 1.

For all those that are new to the circuit, Motoconcepts always organise an instructor for the day. I strongly recommend

1) go to the 1/2 hour classroom thingy about the track and lines

2) go out with one of the instructors during the day.

That'll cost you about 1hr out of an 8 hour track day, but I'll guarantee you'll enjoy it more as you'll have much better lines at the end of it - and you'll enjoy it more coz you'll go much faster as well.

I'm sure the clubs regular attendees would also be happy to share some tips/laps.

And like nissaner said, speed on the straight is as much about exit speed from the corner as it is about power......that's why improviing your lines can make such a difference - I literally to 5 sec off my times last day (down to 1.55) by taking slightly better lines.

I did the 400m in a straight line thing the other night, and I have two pieces of advice for those whoc have only done that.

1) don't forget to turn corners (right kebab?)

2) they go the wrong way at the drags

werd.

Bonkers,

That would be great! Let him out with fatz and he'll probably sh*t his pants then have a heart attack.

Hopefully after this he will stop ear bashing me.

[Majanal]

I'm always more than happy to take you out in my car or go out in your car and give a few tips and pointers as to how I might attack the track... well maybe I should say smoothly persuade my vehical around the track. well at least for two or three laps... after that I'm goin driftin!!!

My best was a 14.2, I really worried the NOs '55 Ford beside me (until the light went green.....)

To be honest, I'm not really that clear on the attraction - part from the launch, isn't it just about how far you can press the accellerator down? Spend more on mods - go faster?

[Duncan]

Nah, its still motorsport, just not my cup of tea.

Each to their own.

[kabab]

You just need so much power its scary to floor it

Alot of drag racing is about the :drama: that goes on between races.

[Silver-Arrowz]

Fatz, don't forget you owe me for the radiator.

[fatz]

shit shit sit

yea no dramas

All,

Well Im a very good chance of getting to the day after the weekends troubles. One of my main concerns was my tyres, well I blew one up yesterday on my way back from Dubbo, love that low speed space saver, I drove all the way to Lithgow, before Zane's brother meet me there with one of Zanes old GTS wheels. The 4WD system does not like different size wheels let me tell you.

Anyway I will try and get some new tyres today and I would be cool for at least half of the day on Thursday.

I also have this e-mail from Dave at Moto, it looks like another GTS want’s to join the day. Would someone who is going to be there first thing in the morning please call / mail this guy and let him know what to do.

Thanks

Paul, this chap would like to join the group.

regards

Dave

P.S. Fatz.

I will have your apexi boost controller with me as well.

[Majanal]

Will call mike now.

[Gonad Man]

Hiya People,

I'm gonna have to pull out of the track day on Thursday. My funds have copped a big hiding latelyand I think if I went along divorce papers would soon follow.

Fatz thinks I should tell the truth and admit to being a big poof! He's just a little touchy today 'cos his shoes don't match his handbag.

[fatz]

gonads you ***n poof

and my shoes do match

[Duncan]

Hey Ben, just take a leaf of of pete's book and tell your partner that you're at work all day.

And he's right, you are a big poof - scared of going sidewise @ turn 8 @120 are you?

(actually, its a good idea to be afraid of that corner:o )
