Track Day cancelled, now a cruise and BBQ SUNDAY 16th Feb 2003

[red900ss]

$200!?

If MotoConcepts don't do a good discount for us tell him we will reconsider turning up.

Dan, I just got my roster and I'll be there.

:uh-huh:

[Duncan]

Hang on, well all complain about "why aren't there any track days on the weekend", well this is why, its a lot more expensive to book the track than during the week.

Motoconcepts made it clear that the track days are not making them enough money, they've already decided to cut back to 6 this year instead of 12 last year.

It could become hard to get time on the track unless we either:

* Support these guys,

* Get cams affiliation and run our own events, or

* Get CAMS licenses individually and go serious super sprinting.

I think these days are top fun, and we have to think how we can make them work.

/end rant

I thought they couldn't get the track bookings?

That's the go!

Point taken Duncan. However, I don't think MotoConcepts have the same commitment to the Drive days that they do for the Bike Ride days.

Having said that, the good thing for us about the Drive days is the lack of need to organise anything on our part.

[Majanal]

Both Duncan and Dino are correct. But I have to sway more to Duncans side.

They don't put as much into the drive days because they are simply more work for them... the ride days fill up about 2 months before the event date and they also get less drop outs... look at it from a business point of veiw and I wouldn't focus on the drive days so much either. They cut the drive days back for that reason and the fact that they didn't get as many day that they could hire the tracks.

I'll be collecting deposits of $50 which are non-refundable on Sunday the 2nd of Feb at Carpark 6C at Hombush between 2pm and 4pm. If you don't have a deposit then you won't be included in the numbers given to MotoConcepts and thus won't have a spot saved for you.

I'll try to get prices today.

Dan.

Whats the go with Homebush, if your collecting deposits would it be too much hassle for you if i just dropped my deposit off to you when your working next out my way??? Maybe even pick up the vid if its ready

[Majanal]

Roy,

No Probs,

I hope to have the Vid done by Friday... which is the next time I'm working out your way, so yeah... if you wanna drop me a deposit then that would be fine... I chose homebush as it is pretty central for everybody.

[NOF41R]

Hey,

[fatz]

mate this thread was just on post 69

ihihihihihihihihihih

[Majanal]

Careful fatz, u'll get a name like Urine's!

[OZ GTR35]

All,

Dave has not come back with the price yet. I will keep at him,

I will call again on Tuesday.

With the prices Dave has been very good at keeping us at or just above cost. If he stops making money they we stop having track days. I may only be speaking for myself but I am happy to pay a little extra just to make sure he is going to keep suppling us with a place to drive my car.

[Roy]

I may only be speaking for myself but I am happy to pay a little extra just to make sure he is going to keep suppling us with a place to drive my car.

...supplying us with a place to drive your car... Cool i was waiting for someone to throw their 33 GTR keys my way. Break out the cameras people there is going to be tears:D

My way of thinking is whats the fine for doing 180 on the street, seems pretty cheap to me.

If only these days had pit girls and i had a triple layer suit, well i guess you know who the frustrated race driver is.

[Majanal]

I have to agree with both roy and Oz... how much do you pay for doing 80km's over the speed limit... and that is if you still have the speed cut on your car... I have done over 200 on race circuits and have not been booked yet!!! I have only ever done 20 kms over on a public road... and been booked 4 times. nuf said!

I also contacted moto concepts and have not heard back yet.

[Silver-Arrowz]

You guys keep an eye on the speedo? :confused:

[Majanal]

Of course I do... I'm training to sell my line and buy a Volvo!!!!

No, I don't really watch the speedo... but my passengers do! Remember you did when you were in my car... 197km/h!

[Roy]

and that is if you still have the speed cut on your car...

Yeh that would be me, with the speed cut i only have to lift and turn in with just a slight touch of break into turn 1 at Eastern Creek, so unitl i get a better handle on fast turns like that ill stick with the limiter thanks.

Will i have the same prob of hittng the speed cut on the straight at Oran?

[Duncan]

Limiter at Oran? Only some very quick cars would hit it. More like 170-180. Its different coz turn 2 at the end of the straight is much sharper than turn 1 at Eastern Creek, so you'll be on the brakes much earlier :uh-huh:
