Here is an option for a track day

GPForums (http://www.gpforums.co.nz/thread/261559/?) 9 August 2007

What do you guy's think ? Who will go ? Only $NZ150

I was considering it, I vaguely know the guy organising it. Only problems from my point of view are

a) its in Taupo mid-week (so requires at least 1 day off work, if not an overnight stay too)
b) I'm in the process of getting a new job, so I may well just be starting work around then, although I would hopefully be able to wrangle a day off :D

I'd certainly be keen to try out the full Taupo track though

I really want to, but I just won't be able to do it then, my car just won't quite be ready.

Your car will NEVER be ready Brad, when did it last see tarmac ?

Thursday's no good for me ....
I gotta buy me another Cyborg, the temptation to thrash the Leggie is just getting to me.

It is ready and I've been driving it for the last two months on a regular basis, but there are a few things that I want to do to it before it sees a track. Such as getting the tyre clearance sorted out at the rear and various fluid changes.

I keep changing my fluids as well, currently it's Rabbit Ranch Pinot Noir 2005, not a bad wee drop.

Awesome day :D

Taupo full track is a lot of fun, much more technical than Pukekohe... absolutely hammered my tires, and I think I've warped my (brand new) front rotors as well, but it was still worth it /yes

A small selection of the 1,116 pics that I have on my laptop to sort through...

Timewise I was generally doing 1:57 to 2:00 laps (Taupo track 1 - http://www.tauporacetrack.co.nz/circuit_map.cfm)
