Afternoon track days, Hapton downs, interested?

Postby sergei » Mon Jun 20, 2011 9:11 am

Hi,
My friend (and ex-boss) PJ (Peter Johnston, director of Rally NZ) has been doing private track-days (actually track afternoons) each month for quite a while.
I have talked recently with him about extending invitation to Toyspeed.

Location: Hampton Downs.
The cost is somewhere between $60 and $70 (depending on how many people), in summer the trackdays start at 4pm, in winter at 2pm. Runs until sunset. This all depends on weather of course.
All you need is a car and a proper helmet (motorbike one will do).

Let me know if you are interested.

Karts??
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Possibly interested, especially wet weather.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

I'm keen (put me down for two). Only likely to do a handful of laps so that price makes it very appealing.

Ok, since there is an interest, everyone who is serious coming pm me with their name and e-mail address. I will arrange the e-mail address to be on the mailing list with trackday details. So you will get e-mailed with date and time before trackdays.

I would like to clarify that these trackdays have been happening for about a year, so it is not "what if, maybe" scenario.
It is normally once a month (if weather permits), afternoon on workday (so unfortunately you will have to take some time off work), hence the cost is low.

All people who PM'd me: I have added you to the mailing list.
The track day will most likely happen early next month. Once we have the date finalized you will receive e-mail with details.

You can tug along some friends if you want to (but don't bring school buses).
