Thanks, have a muffler that can be used at Norwell!

[Red_Bullet]

Sounds good Adam. I particularly like the Morgan Park dates, Norwell should be good to do, something different. Hopefully my son will be attending a few of these with his Megane rs-250, if he ever gets around to changing the timing belt.

View this email in your browser

Hello *****,

Our 2nd 2018 track event is on Monday 21st May at Qld Raceway 12:30 to 5:00 pm. Bring your wife, friend, neighbor or rellie. You can take them for a ride around this famous track at around 4:30 pm.

We are going to do something special for the newbies providing that we have 6 or more. Discovery Laps - a bit faster than Happy Laps but nowhere near flat out. An experienced driver will lead out the group showing them where to position their car on the circuit (the lines) and the breaking marks but will not go over 110 kph.
The next Discovery Laps will be done solo. Starting at 110 kph and slowly increasing speed to 150 kph down the straight.

Agenda
Briefing: 12:00
On Track - Sprint: 1:00 pm - 2 sessions
Regularity time nominations close: 15 mins after the second session
Regularity Sessions x 2
Passenger laps at max of 110kph: 15 mins before Finish time (5:00 pm)
NO Helmet, but long sleeves and pants + covered in shoes required:

Our events are designed for drivers to get out on track and enjoy their street cars: You don't need special modifications or special skills. Just ensure that your car is in good mechanical order, and understand that it's OK if you are not Daniel Ricciardo.

The day will be a combination of Sprint and Regularity.
Sprint: Run as fast as you can.
Regularity: Run as close as possible to your nominated time. Exceeding your nominated time is heavily penalised.
NOTE: for Regularity - In vehicle or personal timing devices are not to be used. They are to be covered or switched off. There will be a "5 Perfect Laps" trophy awarded to the winner at the end of the day.

Trackdays are heaps of fun. You get to test yourself and your car, socialise with some like-minded folk, and leave with an intact Drivers License. If you haven't been to one of our days, contact me on 0400079656. If you are a FIRST TIMER then definitely call me!!!. I'll be happy to explain how we roll.
