Lakeside Raceway General Practice Day
Hey guys
there is a Lakeside Raceway general Practice Day on Friday 11th of November. $80 half Day or $120 for Full day. I am thinking of taking the SP20 out for a bit of fun. There are no restrictions as to race or road cars both are welcome. not a bad day for 120 bucks. plus 50 bucks fuel :) Anyone interested?

Oh yeh, I can see me getting along to this. I should definitely have my track only rims and tyres by then. Is this being run by the same guy/business that does the street sprints, open sprints, trackattack, etc? If so, they owe me $80, so $40 for a full day of practice sounds sweet to me.
Actually, why not do the one on the 5th that's on a Saturday? Is it cheaper for the midweek sessions? |
General Practice Days are always before a big 2 day event.
Midweek sessions yes are always cheaper. but these gen prac days are even cheaper again. this day is run by Queensland Raceways. trackattack etc is a 3rd party selling entry spots. they do not sell spots for special events like this. Also - for a beginner, the morning session is always good to hit, as the serious guys tend to hit the track in the arvo seesion for practice for the weekends races. |
Go Team Zoom Zoom!
I'm a strong maybe for the full day.
|
Feel like bringing the strut brace with you?
|
It can be done.
|
I may come along to watch. Once I've got the suspension & wheels on the 3k i'll be up for a track day
|
Awesome. Don't suppose passengers are allowed to ride shotgun... I would love the chance at going round before going out in my own car. Happy to pay half of the cost...
|
If it's all good you can jump in with me dude.
|
sick! i promise ill try not be like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIhGJ...eature=related HAHAHA
|
Normal track day I've been to they allow passengers on at the end of the day at street speeds. Though this is a practice day. So might be different.
And when I say street speeds, the MX5s still did 150kph down the main straight. lol |
Just gave them a call in regards to this day and it's just rock up and pay and drive. I've booked my day off work, can't wait!
|
I have also booked the day off, not to drive though, just to watch & take photos :D
|
As I said before, if allowed, I'm happy to take some people on some happy laps. I do plan to go home somewhere in the middle of the day though and have some chow and a shower and come back. The people running the food/drink hut out there must be millionaires by now. $5 for a powerade!!
|
Who do I call to enquire about it? I've got a helmet but so keen to get into the racing scene
|
I called 1800RACERS and they told me there is no booking, just come to the track and pay in the bottom of the tower building. You'll only need a helmet and long pant/long sleeve cotton clothing, but I don't even think that is fully enforced. Last time I went I wore a pair of work pants and an old business shirt and the pants were poly-cotton. It's all self-scrutineerd, so just rock up and race really.

Where would be a good place to get helmets?
|
Motorcycle shop? Make sure they have an a tick. Most offroad ones are a lot cheaper but do not meet safety standards, or haven't been tested
|
eBay for helmets? No one checks to make sure your helmet is ADR approved though. Just that you have it on your head.
