Track Day at Oran Park ( Short Circuit ) Sat 19th June

[TRELO]

I have received an Invitation to take part in the AAMs Drive Day at Oran Park
on Saturday 19th June 2004

AAMs Drive Day will be held at Oran Park on 19th June.

The day will be run as a series of 20-30 minute on-track sessions, with drivers grouped according to their experience, and the type of car they are driving. There will only be 8 to 10 cars on the track at a time. Regardless of skill level, each driver will have an instructor with them for the initial sessions. They will be running some different exercises in the afternoon, which everyone will enjoy.

They will be able to provide each driver with quality “in-car“ tuition (if desired) from one of AAMs instructors during the day, to help polish up your techniques and enhance your driving skills.

The cost of a Drive Day is $295.00 incl gst per driver and will include a light lunch. Catering will be organised for the number of participants only – if you have people coming out to watch who would like lunch there will be a small fee.

Because of the popularity of such days, places will only be allocated to the people who send their registration form back accompanied by payment Before Friday 11th June. (earlier if possible)

So if you are interested I will email you a registration form.
Send the form and a cheque in favour of Australian Academy of MotorSport to secure your place on the day.

People attending :

1. Trelo ( me)
2. Alan Earnshaw
3. Cityclinic ( Brad )
4. Warped ( maybe ) - chickened out
5. Greendevil ( Carl )

Oh , Depending on the numbers we get , we will get some kind of Discount. So before you send a payment let me know so I can give you the right amount to pay. If you are paying with CASH ( like me ) , let me know also so you can pay on the day .

[TRELO]

So very little response . Come on people, this is a great opportunity to get an Instructor teach you 1 on 1 on how to drive on the track for those people who have/havn't been on a racetrack before. Last time I got an instructor with AAM , I lapped the circuit a full 2 seconds quicker later .

At these track days , there are no heroes. So you can go at your own pace

Haha, I'm hoping to get my MINI on Friday June 18. Although I know I won't, but just in case I do, how many kms would I need to do on Friday before taking the car to the track the next day!

Sounds good Trelo, but I'll be out.

Wow. Both great looking wheels (glad to see your sticking with gold! ), so youre keeping the R1's or the BBS'ers? Tough choice

They did make a big song and dance about that on Thursday. An apology was even issued. Looks like they are beginning to realise how much we love our cars (it should have been obvious, now we have made it obvious!) . The problem now is that it will be another 12 months before they get up and running because they have to book the racetracks that far ahead.
