i would be very interested in something like that. i think the club has had a few dyno days in the past but not since i have joined about 1.5 years ago.

Yup. Interested also.
The last one I did (in 2006) was @ Caulfield Jag. Would like to do it there again if possible.
Always an interesting day (well morning-maybe get a sausage sizzle going??).
This is the WA club list which makes for interesting reading....

From the results I think the most suprising is the NC... I just thought it would have way more power than that...

Having dríven NA6, NB8A, NB8BSE and NC, all in standard form, the figures seem about right.

Cheers,
Alf

Hello peoples ..

Will get onto this asap - possibly Caulfield Jaguar as a location - any thoughts? I may approach DJ to sort this one out - I think from memory there is a crew of a few that run this for the Club.

Leave it with moi!

I will post as soon as we have a date,

Cheers, Joni

Caulfield Jag were very helpful, the time I went, but I was an unitiated novice to Dynos in practice (not in theory) at the time.

Cheers,

Go cart day?

To practice and learn how to take corners, to study the apex...

To feel the effects and benifits of reduced weight...

actually that is a great idea. shame i have such a bad back tho, i think a go kart might ruin what's left of my spine.

I would go to a go-kart day. Infact I will be going to a lot of the meets after around a months time :mrgreen:

I just filled out the membership form too!

GoKarts shouldn't be too bad on your back, although I'm saying this not knowing specific details. All i know is that my Dad's back isn't the best & he's fine in one.

I've read some of the old MX-TRA's and the go kart comps against other car clubs seem like great fun!

I'm going karting this sat evening with some mates of mine. It's a turn up and drive format so if anyone's interested...

Hi Joni, I was looking into a Go-Kart day at Silhouette Karts in Somerton.
For 8 or more drivers they arrange a Grand Prix package.
Maximum of 12 Karts on track at one time
2x10 minute sessions $55 per head
3x10 minute sessions $75 per head
4x10 minute sessions $95 per head
These prices include practice - qualifying and race sessions.
Race Management.
Lap time print outs for each driver.
Post race presentation & prizes.
Free use of BBQ facilities

Have a look at their site www.silhouettekarts.com.au
I can chase it up if we get enough interest
