Last time we had a bunch of different cars. like evo's, skylines, s15, mx5, mr2's. So theres a pretty good mix.

Had maybe 15 - 20 runs each from memory and was really good fun.

It's near that time again...

Track day at the Midvale Speed Dome.
There are up to 20 places available, but I'm ideally looking for 16 -17 drivers.
It will be a full day and will cost $160 including lunch.
It's a short course, so it suits quick accelerating and good handling cars.

It will be an Autokhana/Superkhana style event, which essentially means driving really fast around a series of tight corners and short straights.

It will be a FULL day event, but obviously you can come and go as you please.

You will need your own, or access to the following things;

Licenced & roadworthy car
Helmet
Long sleeve shirt and pants (cotton is best)
Closed in shoes

Your car will be lightly scrutineered before you are allowed to drive it on the track.
Basically, make sure the following things are done;

Battery is secure
Seatbelts lock under tension
Tyres are not completely bald
Loose objects are removed from cabin
Your car is not falling apart
Your car is not leaking vital fluids

Cost is $160 - payable before the day.
Price will include Hot Dogs and drinks for the drivers only.
Spectators are most welcome, but will need to provide their own food and drink.
You will need to bring your own;

Seats/blankets/cushions to sit on during the day.
Sunscreen, just in case
Insect repellent, just in case.
Don't forget your tools, and spares just in case!

There's plenty of room to make a mistake, so rest assured that the worst that will happen is your car might get a little dirty.
It'll be good fun, and it'll be at mostly slower speeds, so drive at the pace that you're most comfortable with. Your times will improve the more you drive.
There's a chance of some professional instruction on the day too.

The money is non-refundable, so if you can't make it, find someone else to take your place.
Make sure your car is reliable, and will last the whole day. The price is the same whether you drive for 1 run or 20.
You may drive someone else's car (with their permission of course!), but that car will need to scrutineered also if it hasn't been already.

Lastly, the track is for everyone who is driving on the day. Each run takes about 1 minute 30 seconds.
Don't dawdle, remember who you're after in the running order, and standstills are for Motorvation.
If you're deemed to be unsafe on the track, you get 1 warning only. After that, no more driving for you.
You will need to let me know via PM or e-mail, if you intend on driving ASAP so that I can advise and pay the venue, and sort out your running order for the day.
Contact me with any questions
Thanks :)
