[Adam.Findlay]

and i will email cant car club this afternoon about details and get definate prices

[djb160]

I spoke to Dan today and he's come as long as the date suits, so he needs a fair bit of warning. So thats a 340kwt R33.

I'll ask another friend if he wants to bring his RA.

[Archie]

Pace car?

Oh yeah!!
How secure does a fire extinguisher have to be? In glovebox/spare tyre well? Can we rent helmets like through motosoc?

[chx_wagon]

Im still at interested stage. Would need more info and amount $$$

[djb160]

Another friend is tentatively interested at this point. WRX RA.

[Adam.Findlay]

ahh fire extinguisher has to be mounted in a solid position and easily reachable from driver seat, my extinguisher is mounted on the left of the centre console horizontally.

[Adam.Findlay]

yeah sucks about you car taylor but if you decide to get that new box you got my help to jam it back in there. we already halfway there to gettn the box out all we need is a engine hoist and to undo the bell housing bolts to drop the box out. + all the little things like engine mounts and so on

[Goku]

^^ easy then

Also if anyone needs fire extinguishers we have them here at my work

[Adam.Findlay]

Righto I just emailed the track people will post up all information they return ASAP

[Adam.Findlay]

here is what i got in reply today..

Hi Adam

Thanks for your enquiry.

Twilights opportunities are gone as daylight saving kicks in next weekend.

Hires as follows, Full day full track weekdays 1350 plus clubrooms 100, half day is $800
Weekend days if/when available 1800 plus clubrooms 100

Nothing available in April Weekends at all May Sunday 9 available.

What you need to do is outline what you would like to do [the activity] and how [control/safety] and we will work with you to come up with a match for activity/safety requirements.

A full day is probably too long for road cars unless you have 30 odd cars so would suggest a half day to kick off. Behaviour on any given day will control the future hires for any group

so it looks like a half day is what we are going for IMO

[djb160]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but for a $25 entry that means we'd need about 30 odd paying attendees. That's a lot. Going by how these things usually work, if we take how many people say they're keen/attending/etc and remove the "standard" 50% fails-to-turn-up ratio we aren't left with many people.

Even a half day is a lot of track time where I suspect most would only be wanting a couple of hours at most. Unless we piggyback on another large club or open day I honestly can't see this happening now that the evening option is out.

[Goku]

I dunno Dale, a half day might work out fine for a few people. I mean if we say upped the fee to $50 (Which is still cheaper than the 90-120 most clubs ask) then we'd only need 16 people to get the ball rolling.

[chchthomo]

i agree $50 for half day sounds resonable. i have 3 confirmed starters.

[djb160]

So are we semi-officially going with $50 for a half day? Just so I can re-ask people.

yip that price was based on the 300 dollar fee of the twilight day. so now that is ruled out we have to up the price.

[Adam.Findlay]

and yeah 16 would be a great number for a half day maby up to 20 people would be fantastic.

[Goku]

How are we going on this people ?

Do we have a list ?

[Adam.Findlay]

Ive been a bit flat out lately with tryn to find a job and sorting out my mates cars and so on but so far the list of definite people is
1) Taylor -club member PFL black galant
2) Adam(me) -club member FL White legnum
3) Mark -Friend white RX-7 series 4
4) Arthur –Friend red mk3 supra
5) A few of Marks friends -Red MKIII supra, another rx-7, and a few other nice cars
The maybe list is
1) CHX_WAGON –registered user
2) Archie – club member
3) Chch tomos friend with either the gtr or pulsar
4) Ash – GSR
5) Jeremey - r32
6) Dan - 30det laurel
7) Tom - turbo starlet
8) Phil - rs legacy
9) Charith - A31cefiro
10) Brad - 400hp s13

Thats enough people to start a good half day or even a full day prices as posted above are
Full day full track weekdays 1350 plus clubrooms 100, half day is $800
With the people we have we can do a half day for roughly 60 dollars per person and full day for around $100, but in saying that if we were to go full day I would prefer to have around 20 people which would make the price around $70.
I am swinging toward the idea of a full day,
But now we need to get a date and marshals/flag wavers, I think we need 4 marshals. Any volunteers 
Weekends are more expensive still but if it is an issue for people to get a day off work i think we may have to. I would aim for a Monday or Friday weekday, i think the track has quite a few free Friday’s so that would be ideal.
FEEDBACK PLEASE>>>>
And taylor alot of the people on this list are your mates so can you get in contact with them and ask if between 70 and 100 dollars is acceptable to them for a full day.

[Adam.Findlay]

a good date for me will be the 23rd of this month. what do you all think of this
