Christchurch track day whos keen?!

[Adam.Findlay]

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??
PM me or reply on the thread ASAP so i can emain canterburycarclub and book the track and get definitive prices

what is required for the track.
-W.O.F
-securely fitted fire extinguisher
-cotton overalls
-helmet (ie motorbike helmet or equivilent)

If this gets off the ground I'll tag along as photographer.

IMO you'll need to arrange this in conjunction with another club as I doubt there's 12 chchVR4 member on here. When's the Motosoc track day?

[Adam.Findlay]

oh sweet a photographer will be awesome. pics up for the club. yeah I have a few mates who will be keen, a RX7 and maby a supra too but other then thatim hoping for mainly club members and friends of club members. but ill try work out so people who are not part of cvr4 pay the little extra compared to us members

[djb160]

Ive got a friend with a r33 that might be interested, if it coincides with his work

[scott.mohekey]

My car isn't really in a track worthy state at the moment. Otherwise I would be as keen as.

[Adam.Findlay]

yeah well thats why i have not set a date yet. maby depending on how scotts car goes and what would be a good day for your mate with the r33. we can all vote on the date.

[Goku]

Well, anytime from May 1st is out for me during the week for about 4 months. as that is when we have peak season, so pretty much no leave. Though I might be able to swing a day during mid week.

Wheels and Heels car club is doing a track day on April 15th. 1pm-5pm. $20.00

Might be a good one to go to, just to see how it all works for private groups. It was good last year when I went. Cant go this year as cant get the time off

[Adam.Findlay]

well goku thats why its a 4pm afternoon just sweet talk the boss into finishing early on whatever day. and like i said CVR4 people and any mates that are keen are welcome to come along as long as they dont drive like dicks and pay the fee.

and chx_wagon thanks for the info but i have got my mates help who has organised a **** heap of track days on his own so i have all the info i need thru him but thanks anyway, could you make it to an twilight session? more legunums the better haha

! SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED! this is a grip day so any friends you have that wish to come make it clear to them that it is NO DRIFTING as that makes it too expensive and the orgainsers cop the flack for any damage to the grass and walls.

[Goku]

Pre payment would also be a good idea, to secure the track and make sure people turn up.

I vote mid-late April, like the 21st or so.

[taylor]

Is yours going again?

Can't keep me off the road long Scott. P

[scott.mohekey]

Lol, good to hear.. hopefully mine won't take too long either.

[Adam.Findlay]

[Goku]
