hey guys,
Unique Auto Sports will be holding one of their track days on the 16 May, 2004. (i know this is seriously advance warning).

I've negotiated with them to have a NA (or FTO class if we get enough cars) to go with their normal classes (all turbo cars).

Please mark this date in your diary and i'll have more information for you on requirements and costs in the coming month or so.

everyone's welcome to come and watch (you can also be a passenger if you want i think that's about $20-40)...

umm what happens we go round and round a track as fast as we can in 10-15 minute intervals.

there are rules associated with days like this to avoid paint swaping and the like.

John normally has professionals there as well to help new comers with how to drive on a track.

yeah i know you're there alreayd GAV

can i politely recommend that you perhaps visit racebrakes and get a set of RB74's

smoking brakes is not good for your health

or "smoking brakes will harm your baby"

ok now i'm offically getting stupid

hopefully i will by april, my plan is go with all the unqiue mods u put out to make it go quicker + corner quicke,r and then save some money for breaks on the side(as well as a little rice, u cant have japanese without rice

if i was you i would do my brakes first..
brakes and tyres are the most important upgrades IMO.

no point in going fast if you cant stop or handle corners, good brakes will allow you to brake late and increase your lap times.

after my brake upgrade (dba slotted rotors and galfer performance pads) i am confident with 4 people in the car (or from high speeds) that i can brake late and still stop where i want to even going down hill.. without fading... try that on your standard brakes repeatedly!

april should be plenty of warning for everyone to get their cars ready, im hoping i can come... and i hope i will have a spare set of tyres and brake pads ready by then, coz from what i heard if you go hard you can go through a whole set in the one day

Post by **smorison** » Thu Dec 11, 2003 2:26 pm

depends no how hard you push your car and what the quality of the tyres were before you started the day.

I've got a whole heap of things i want to do before the track day, so many things not enough money

hmm as inspiration for people to get thair car mega-modded (without a turbo for na class) will their be a prize ??

Post by **smorison** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 2:13 pm

i'm sure if we get enough interest we could arrange a prize for the best lap time.

G_A_V · Post by **G_A_V** » Fri Dec 12, 2003 5:10 pm

we could get a model fto, and take it to a trophy place and get it put together as a trophey, i couldnt think of anyone in the group who wouldnt want that !!

Sounds interesting since I 've never been to track or racing on track.
What are the requirements?
Can we drive own cars on track? and what is the cost?
Do we need to own racing license/suit or gear (helm, suit, boot , etc...)?????
Any updates?
