I am wanting to organise a track day for us south island club vr4 members.
The track is powerbuilt ruapuna raceway
We have 2 options
1- A twilight track day which runs in so called "after hours" we are at the track at 4pm get all the cars scrutenered and so on, then when the day people finish with the track at 5pm we go on. I think the minimum amount of people is 12 which will make it roughly 25 dollars each for the twilights session.
this will run 5pm-7pm, (perfect for a bit of after work/university stress relief, as long as you keep your car out of the gravel trap) so 2 hours on the track all up.
I have attended a few of these,
- The first, all the drivers were split into 2 groups and the full track was split into two smaller tracks. group A had 30 mins on track A while simultaneously group B had 30 mins on the B track and then they switched. And then for the last hour the full track was opened and each group had 30 mins on the full track
- The second one I attended was run “open pit” style where pit lane was kept open the entire time and the full track was open also. This style means you are free to enter and leave the race track as you wish, at the marshals say so. This means you can go out on the track, and if you don’t feel comfortable for some reason or you have issues with the car such as overheating blah blah you can come park in pit lane until, for example you can let the car cool down, and then when your ready head straight back out again merging into the current “racing”. This is the day I would prefer to run this kind of day cos then you guys can decide when you want to go out and when you want to come in, rathere then spending 30mins aside watching others have fun haha.
-2 A full day 8am-5pm, this will! Have to be held on a weekend day and will cost alot more. I am unsure of the costs but 100 dollars per person or over. But with the full day we can do more stuff like slalom through the cones and so on but these days involve more ****ing around so in all the twilight “open pit” is best track time for money.
So to sum up
WHO IS KEEN AND WHAT KIND OF DAY WOULD YOU LIKE>>>> AND MOST OF ALL WHAT DATE SHOULD WE HOLD IT??
