View Full Version : Mallala Private Skid Day

Just seeing if any of you blokes would be up for a skid in the second week of April at LaLa. Doing it for my birthday as I can't drive for another year.

Basically I'm thinking of hiring it out for skids only during the week, so you would have to get off work for a whole day (Monday-Thursday). Track opens at 8am and closes at 6pm.

I need 9 people to join me as it's costing around $4500 to hire out. Obviously I would need payments in advanced if your 100% dedicated to coming. Currently I think the price will be around $350 p/person (plus cams license: $25) which is fucking sick considering it's a whole day with only 10 people cutting laps. Yes, it's expensive but in the end I will still be out of pocket about 1k but meh.

Have 5 or 6 mates which are 90% keen at the moment, but I'm looking to book it and pay for it in the next week or so. So if your down like a clown, post your interest here ASAP.

ill be keen as
what date are u thinking of doing this ?

crackett
22nd February 2009, 09:48 PM
second week of April. I'm thinking Wednesday the 8th or maybe Tuesday.

Good to see everyone is keen on this. Looks like it will deffinitly go ahead pending approval from officials at LaLa.



If all runs well, might organise a few AE86DC grip and or skids days. Bit hard limiting it to 10 people, though, not exactly sure on the rules and regs.

is it possible to get more ppl out to make it cheaper for everyone?

Kalby
22nd February 2009, 10:04 PM
im in:):)

crackett
22nd February 2009, 10:13 PM
At this stage I don't think so because once you have more than 10 people driving the insurance goes up and you have to have more marshalls and other track staff etc. I will look into it more after this day goes ahead.

Bearing in mind im covering over a grand by myself just to make it cheaper for everyone else.

10 ppl is heaps!

thats 8am to 6pm, 10 hours of track time, 350 is cheeeeep.

Start saving now!

Wish i had my car, would have been 4age'd for this :(

crackett
22nd February 2009, 10:19 PM
Yeah I know man, fair devo. There is a place saved for you if you wanna bring the new rig out. People who I am pretty sure that are going are like Max, Eddy, Eddy etc so it's just gunna be mix of skid, shits and giggles.

I should really go finish my for this now.

10 hours of track time is bloody good! ill need to start stocking up on 2nd hand 13" tyres, will chew through alot :P I hope it all goes to plan, will be awesome.

crackett

Yeah I'm stocking up all the 14's and stuff from now on at work now. Unfortuantly I don't think they have a fitting machine accesable for private track days but meh.

No your coming and slidin' ya anus. Just chop and lock your new car and it will be shibby.

Not exactly sure, that's what I have to find out tomorrow. Will be at the latest day possible. But not sure if I can book the actual track on a specific day with out a deposit at least. If I need the full amount upfront then I will probably make a dead line for 2 week or something just so the day is secure as it needs to happen during my anual leave at work.




How about Mr. AJPS?

Konakid
22nd February 2009, 11:34 PM

You can have more than 10 if you want.

Turbotune one that was today (monday) had 15, an one a mate of mine has organised for late march has 15 as well...

$300 each for 12 ppl, gets cheaper after that. turbotune one was $260 each for 15 ppl... I'd express keen-ness, but i won't be in a rolla anymore lol...

24th February 2009, 06:22 PM
8 - 6?

thats not actual track time though?

one thinks that its more like 10 - 5 or something to that effect.

if what you say is true - and track time is 9 or 10 hours, im in 100%.

i have cash waiting

crackett
24th February 2009, 07:18 PM
Well I couln't get hold of the track owner today, I will tomorrow though and get the exact details, would be sick to get more people. But I need gauenteed numbers or otherwise it's dosh outa my pocket you know what I mean?

Oh btw, doesn't matter if you don't have a karolla, I'll be in my dirty 2.

RyGuy86
24th February 2009, 10:25 PM
Im keen..
you should start an email contact list for this one dude...
you can get me on..

Ryan.t.simpson@team.telstra.com



are there any restrictions on what parts on the track we can slide etc? can we run tandoms etc like a normal practice? what about tyre fitter?

crackett
24th February 2009, 11:02 PM
Yeap will get all this shit organised tomorrow if I can get a hold of the the owner.

But after my first discussion with him I was under the impression that I was only aloud 9-10 people. Yes I am aware that the Turbo-tune one had more, but the circumstances were different, IE, more advanced drivers, Turbo-tune probably has some sort of conection with the Mallala owner and etc. The jist I got was it was to be run similar to a drift prac, so no grip runs, there will be a marshal, so probably will only be skidding the usual part of the track.

SO, if all goes according to plan I'll get the exact cost of the day, but hopefully no change to the price. I'm hoping I can book a date and then have a deadline to pay for it, rather than pay for it outright if you know what I mean.

Naturally A few of my mates have dibs on positions, but I want it organised and payed for ASAP so I'm betting there will be a few spots up for grabs.

Finally, showing the amount of interest the few days this threads been up, and I'm sure more after this day goes ahead, I think others should be organised. Well worth it in my opinion. I'm sure if there are regular days it will be cheaper and so on. I'd be happy to volunteer to organise it pending this day.

Oh and RyGuy86 I am hoping there will be acsess to a fitting machine. I will also ask tomorrow.

Will update ASAP, cheers boys.

crackett
26th February 2009, 06:04 PM
Tight. So it's pretty well sussed now. It will be on the 8th of April which is a Wednesday. In the next probably week I will get all the payments off my mates to pay the deposit which is $1100. IF there is any positions available which I am sure there will be I'll post ASAP. So keep ya cash save. I want this organised and probably paid for with in a fortnight.

Shittily, we have no access to tyre fitting machine :( Which will mean we will all need shit loads of stockies. I'm wondering if I should put my new turbo on for this, think I may not be able to source 43567509658096589506 stockies.

So guys who I have already sent a txt to today I need your cash for Mallala in the next few days if possible so I can 100% secure the day.

Another thing, Im paying for alot of this outa my own pocket with no security here. So I need people not to pay and back out or I'm going to be even more outa pocket.

Will keep everyone posted, maybe the members who I have not met yet, send me a PM registering your 100% interest so I can contact you straight away if there are some positions left which I am sure there will be.

Thanks

Na sorry dude, no spectators allowed. It would be gay watching all us dicks fucking around all day anyways.

Anyways, it's on Wednesday the 8th of April currently. Unless someone else books it which I am hoping they don't. Everyone I have officially invited had 2 weeks to pay me for this. If there are still spots after people that have PM'd me will be welcome to come.

Im pretty sure your not aloud to grip on a drift practice private or not.

RyGuy86
11th March 2009, 06:37 PM
^^^^ True that.. no Grip on Drift days is a general ruling.. this is all based around insurance and liability. Drifting is still classed as a Non-Speed Sport.. (go figure) and if you want to grip then you need a Cams Level 2 license... and as soon as Cams find out that its a grip event not a NON SPEED event.. the cost gets blown out of the water.. so your only grip you'll be doing will have to be with your front tyres... or when you are puttering around the pitz...

11th March 2009, 10:45 PM

+1 yeah yeah....

crackett
11th March 2009, 11:54 PM
Yeah no grip aloud anus's.

Andy San
13th March 2009, 03:11 PM
actually it doesn't matter if you drift or not, all practice days are covered in the same class as they are all not full speed events. You only need a different licence when it is a proper racing event. Plus if you didn't drift at a proper practice wouldn't that just make you a crap drifter? :p
