Another wee tip on car prep. Oil catch cans. These need to be Factory recirculation or all breather tubes need to be connected to a catch can of sturdy design and sufficient capacity, i.e. 2L capacity but much stronger than a milk bottle. We don't want to be the club that coats the track in oil If you do have trouble pull off the race line and out of the way. Don't get out and work on your car unless you are safely behind a flag point or the like, otherwise leave teh car and get to a safe place to wait for assistance.

i am expressing interest. will some one be bringing a jack? if so ill put my semi's on the back seat.

[classicdat]

I'm sure we can manage that, I know at least one wagon coming out
Be great to have you there Mark, hopefully we can have a battle of the sixes

[classicdat]

Free entry to view is it? Ill be watching the hell out of this, cant wait! We JUST missed the oldschool.co.nz trackday in Taupo when we went up for nationals, but it was a real sweet atmosphere

Mate you can come and get your Datsun fill, bout time you got your old man up here in his 240

Last time I was out there they were wanting everyone to have 2 springs on the carburetter (or throttle body). Does that apply this time?

Ruth and I are down for this (watching that is)

I think double safe is better, most side draught set ups will have 2 springs, if your car hasn't and it has any sort of performance I recommend you fit a second spring, for all the cost.
This is a track day, not a club sport sprint, the more modified a car is the more I would expect safety to be a factor, but provided your ride has a Wof and reg, you should be sweet.
It's you I'm worried about
Cotton overalls, that means self extinguishing, not nylon and a helmet as in first post.
This should be a good, fun event, not too much regulation.
I might put the 12ie round now it has shocks

[kartboy]

I'm keen to get the ute out amongst it

[dirtyleppa]

hopefully it will be ok to run the ute if it still has a sticker

[Bartman]

Dude, Just get that sticker off it. You have plenty of time if you apply yourself to it.
