I'm addicted, count me in!!

 

I'm in, depending on the day. Do you think it will be weekday or weekend?

 

I will attend if invited.

 

Dates at this point are:

Mon 4th, Fri 8th, Mon 11th and Fri 15th.

My preference is the 11th.

Also, forgot to mention that there will be instructors for the day.

Cheers

Andrew

 

Count me in!

 

Baby come early please

I am in. Otherwise I will get the bub induced.

 

count me in if its one monday...can't stop tracking now....lol

 

I am 100% in for the 4th but will struggle with the other dates.

 

Yep I'll have a go at that one since I missed the winton list

 

I am a likely starter for the 11th.

 

Yep I am definately there. Don't care what date, I'll even do all of them if they were booked

Yippee another track day

 

Waiting patiently for an invitation by the wonderful RX8 people.

Is that sucky enough?

Oh yes and the RX8 is the best car of all time.

 

I'll clear the decks - put me down, count me in.....

 

Why, invitations will go out after Winton.

RX-8 Glenn, any chance for 11th? Its looking like the best date so far.

Cheers

Andrew

Put me down as interested

I missed all of the fun at Winton and it will be good to try a new track

 

Invitations for outsiders?

 

Interested list updated in the 1st post

 

That straight looks awesome, and if the pictures are anything to go by, some nice easy run-offs in the event of a moment of panic - or terror!! Bring it on...

 

Please add CAPA & Boxer

 

Those pictures of Broadford looks real fun. Already started counting down the days!

 

According to Google earth mesurement system, the track is roughly a 2.4km track.

Is there any reference lap time?

BTW I beat Kevin in his Echo last motorkhana, I am sure he is now seaking revenge lol

 

Yes, some intersting info about broadford. Its the state motorbike centre, so you can understand that the track is designed as a motorbike track. Unfortunately the safety required of a motorbike track is diferent from that of a car track. On car tracks the driver has the car as protection and so the idea is to protect people outside the car and avoid trip points (stop a car from rolling). On a bike track you have the opposite, as the rider has no real protection and the bike does a whole lot less damage than a car, the idea is to protect the rider.

Car tracks tend to have concrete walls and kitty litter, bike tracks have big wide open spaces. Unfortunately when it comes to getting a motorbike track approved by CAMS or AASA the lack of concrete walls (especially between pit lane and the track) and kitty litter means that they wont approve the track for multi car high speed events (Hill Climbs are ok).

But never fear, this is one of the reasons why we are organising this in conjunction with Kevin and Driver Dynamics.

Cheers
