ANY LOVE???!!! :confused:

Just finished talking with Jeff,

We have 2 options:

OPTION1
A weekday.... $200 per car includes day CAMS license and morning/afternoon tea/refreshements.
Driving between 9-4
All day driving around the North circuit

OPTION2
Late afternoon /Day light (3 hours)

Same driving options but on $100 (includes CAMS license)

Lets talk numbers and dates!!!

If we can kram this in before the 22nd of November it'd be f*kn AWESOME!!

I'm for the all day ish, but for those who don't wanna put too much strain on their cars might wanna go for just the arvs..

Of course, with Option 1 - you can go out for 15-20mins, then pit stop it - check everything.... chill out have a beer......or maybe water.... and then get back out there.

Michel, would it just be us (TK krew + Friends) attending?? Or would it be open to anyone to come along, eg members of the public that we don't know?!

Last question, if you're already a CAMS license holder - is it cheaper? (doesn't matter if it's not, gotta ask though).

ditto, ditto, ditto - I went and checked out the website especially to see what the "North Circuit" is like. It's the figure 8 part :D cool. I need AFX stickers for POVO:D Scroll down on this link http://www.oranpark.com.au/the_track.php

I'll see what dates come up before I commit.

It would be JUST US.
Oran Park require around 20 cars to make it worthwhile, but I am sure I could swing them down to 15 perhaps..
Why don't we invite all Forums?

Not sure about the Cams license.

And a date before 20 November should be sweet.
BUT we are talking midweek.... OK?

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE RRs and Bentleys on the track.
Can you convince anyone?

Not bloody likely - you're a big boy now!!!! :eek:
You proved that when you managed to drive the PII without crashing the gears!!:rolleyes:
However, if you want it to be an official RROCA event so that people on Club rego can go you need to forward me a proposal before the Committee meeting on Tuesday night. :D
And please pick a cool day to avoid boiling petrol in the Autovac!!
Regards,
BenzBoy

Good work Michel!

Benzboy, bring the Roller fo' sho'!!

I've posted up on the ozbenz site to attract some interest. Like I said though, i'm pretty confident it won't be too hard to get numbers.... i've got mates here that'll come along with their street cars for the day if needed. Might be a dato 120y though.... :p

DATES PEOPLE DATES!!!

Who's keen?? ???? ????

Michel's gone out of his way to organise a track day, cause people were keen to get their cars on the track and stretch their legs.

I'm suggesting maybe Thursday the 13th November?? Or how's bout sooner, a Weds or Thursday at the end of October sometime??

And are we going the all dayer, or the afternoon only event?

If we lock a date in, i'm sure the numbers will follow!

Cam2. :)

I'm in for the 13th but will move if that suits. The all day effort is the way to go, you only get your lines right and start to enjoy it after lunch.

How about if I get the 'available' dates from Oran Park tomorrow and we can work on that?

Normally the requirements are for a 'street registered' car to be 'registered'.... nothing else.
Driver has to have 'shoes, long sleeve shirts and pants.'
Helmet is mandatory and seat belts (if fitted to the car)

If Not registered, then cars must be scrutinised by an official.
