Oran Park Track Day 31st Jan

[Torquative]

Hey all

I've been organising a track day at Oran Park for the past few months.

Anyway at one stage I had too many people attending which was great. But now the time has come for people to pay up Ive had too many pull out and its threatening the day altogether.

Basically if your interested in attending please let me know.

- Saturday 31st Jan 2009
- costs $250
- includes photographer with a minimum of 10 photos of your car
- approx 10 to 15 minute track time each hour.

If I can get enough people to cover the cost of lunch, lunch will also be included, but at this stage I cant even cover the cost of the day.

if i can take my motorbike ill be in for sure, cause as of tomoro im car-less

[Torquative]

unfortunately bikes = no, different insurance or something.

Yeh the issue with Oran Park is weekends were filling fast, so I had to book waaay back in August or September, so for alot of people yeh things have changed, and thats cool.

I never expected so many to pull out. I had 6 in reserve, meaning 6 could pull out and I'd be comfortable still.

but ... Ive had more then 6 pull out

Agreed but if money is the problem that's no excuse, because if you cant save up $250 in that time you shouldn't even have a car....

[Torquative]

yeh I agree Johnsy, but we wont banter about whose got what wrong. Some have had important events like a Wedding pop up, some have lost their job due to economic crisis, one bloke wrote his car off and wont be driving anytime soon

anyhoo if theres no interest thats cool, just thought I'd ask

Fair enough but if you love cars as much as we do ( spending this much time on a forum) you would find a way... i would have canned the wedding, found a new job and got insurance to replace my wrote off car.....

What would you do about two blown turbos?

[greenacc]

Go NA FTW.
I'm still trying to talk the Mrs into it, she thinks i will die.... hmmmmmmmmm

[Torquative]

look guys it doesnt matter okay, Im working on a few ways to cover it lets leave it there before this becomes an argument.

I just thought if there was anyone interested now its only 2 weeks away then great. As it is the answers been no.

Im stretched financially as well because of this one day, doesnt matter tho, the day will go on, so please, no fighting amongst us The idea of the day is to have fun, which we wont do if we're blewing over nothing on the forum in the lead up.

People have pulled out, new people have taken their spot in some cases. People still owe me full money, some people have paid deposits but I cant contact for the rest. Its all over the place and Im running out of time. i dont need arguments adding to the stress levels that is this track day

How many more people you need ?

TTRMC , Its a soarer yes ? what model engine is it / what turbos do you need ?

its the 1jz, and yes soarer, turbos are ct12a. Found a guy that had two for sale but my mechanic isn't back till end of Jan and I am snowed in with work. Just a crappy situation but unavoidable....

Torquative, as I paid in full if I bring someone else on the day to take my place is that cool?

Haven't found anyone interested yet but never know

[Torquative]

Hey mate, yeh thats fine, I'll email ya now about it

Also Green I need another 2 at least

[Johnsy]

No argument matt... i was just answering your questions as if they were directed to me....

What would you do about two blown turbos?

I would have bought a V8 instead like i did so i wouldn't need turbo's...

But if i did i would have got some new ones........

[Torquative]

fair enough mate

Im just a little bit under the pump with this track day as you can tell

If your offering to pay for either thats fine, Unfortunately like my interest in your opinion my spare time is non existent

Don't ask me the question to begin with then.....

How does insurance work for this day ? I'm pretty sure AAMI would give me the bird if i tried to claim a prang on a track ...

Most insurance companys would... if the damage isn't to bad and you can still drive your car you would just tell them a dog ran out in front of you whilst driving home

Or if you near wrote your car off get a tilt tray and drag the car on and drop it to a panel beater and say you hit a tree/cement divider whilst driving home......

OK thats fine i can handle a ding in the VS, but just say i come along, what if i smashed into your car, lets say, or you smashed into me. Do we both walk away and say oh well that was fun, no hard feelings ?
