Track Day, January 9th 2009

[Fuzzlet]

Well I'm out - got work at 4pm that day so its not really worth coming all the way down for maybe 2 or 3 sessions

[r_muir86]

I'll be there, and I'm Cas, if alex hasn't told you yet i'm in for the accomodation and beers on the thursday night too!

So who else is coming along next week?

[-alex]

As is if doubt my efficiency I told Casssss just after I spoke to you

Should be a great adventure..!

[Lisa]

not sure if i'm just imagining it but were there people talking about another wakefield day later in the month,, around the 23rd or something?
Would be keen to go down just the 9th won't work

How many definites do we have so far?

Alex, do you know if there a maximum limit on how many cars?

[-alex]

No limit on number of cars.

There are 4 people that I know of so far and Cas just booked our accommodation, though others can be added.

I was about to say not much notice but then realised its been up for a month. Maybe I should look at this thread more often.

I want to go to a track day in feb, I've dedicated Feb to my car, all spare funds and time go to coilovers, trackdays and maint.

Adam put it this way, you can still race on the track with a suspended licence, I did, there's nothing wrong with it and they don't know since u still have an actual licence. So I'd say get the GB in and go racing then. Auto might teach you solely to steer but will be unbearably frustrating when it picks the wrong gear.

Hey Rob hehehe

Can't think of much better than being paid to go to a track day!

Was gonna say the same thing. I'm definitely going to the club day.

I'm not 100% sure what the costs are for non club members, but if you are a club member, it's usually $140 early bird, or $160. The early bird usually runs out about 2 weeks before the actual day. Then of course all your regular licencing costs (Wakefield licence, CAMS licence etc).

You get less runs with the club, but you get lap timing, and plenty of people to ask advice from. At these speed off the streets days, I reckon you probably don't learn as quickly since you haven't got as many people to bounce ideas off. But if you're the type of person that's intuitively good at learning on your own on a track, it's a good option. Plus the reduced price of I think $100 or $110 (I forget...).

thanks marcusus, i'm leaning towards the club track day too...

[marcusus]

thanks marcusus, i'm leaning towards the club track day too...

I'd be doing both if I could've been bothered applying for leave. I did both last year. Two track days in the space of maybe 1.5 weeks. Was really good getting out there to just practice practice practice.

If you haven't been down to Wakefield before though, it's best to go with the club. The advice you'll get is incredibly useful for when you go round there on your own during the Wakefield days.

There are open days on Teu. We. Thurs next week. I am planning to go on the THursday as i will be down the South Coast anyway. Is anyone else keen to go another day? Let us know if you are keen.
