    so is the track day going to be run by Playday like a playday? Passengers allowed (in fully caged car, seat, harness blah blah??)

    Considering coming down and doing some testing/take some people for a ride/chase @Fastfour  assuming the cars still running after the weekend before at Taupo

    yes, run by playday :-)  Jason have kindly given us 3 hotlap sessions to give away.

    So... in less than a month I'm going to jump in my 20 year old wagon, cross Cook Straight, drive up to Taupo, thrash my car around a track for a day and then (hopefully) drive home again.

     

    Any recommendations  that you all have to offer to make my Mega Meet run smoothly? Is there a list of pre-track day inspections or service items that I should really be paying attention to?

     

    This is my second track day ever... the first in over 7 years, and the first in a Subaru so there are no dumb suggestions here.

    Best thing you can do is put your car through a wof before you leave home, the standard for going on track is "A car up to WOF standard" thats not to say theyre going to put your vehicle through the same testing as VTNZ, but you get the idea...

    I always did the following on a car before i put it on track...

    • Checked tyre pressure, 
    • checked alignment
    • changed coolant, and replaced any old hoses.
    • changed oil and filter (dont forget sump plug seal/washer)
    • changed fuel filter
    • changed air filter
    • changed brake fluid,
    • checked pads and rotors.
    • checked all wheel nuts
    • removed anything loose or rattling
    • removed sub and spare wheel (optional unless not fastened securely)


    And i always took a full tool kit and any spares i had floating around. always had a new pack of cable ties, and a few hose clamps on hand. 

    it was pretty common back then to arrive with a full fuel tank and bring 1 or 2 20L containers of fuel as well... depending on how much tracktime you were expecting to have.

    Whats the Grownups Treasure Hunt?

    an amazing race style point to point to point race, but based on points, instead of time.

  4. I dont think they expire. however, as with any safety equipment, its condition depends on its treatment.

    as they're loaners, I'm sure they have seen better days, I would strongly advise anyone to look at purchasing their own, new, fitting helmet.

    That said, these helmets will be available, a bond will be required, and a waiver will need to be signed.


    I only have 2 here. i think Greame has the other 2?

  5. Morning team, 

    Here's a bit of an update, the following people have booked and paid for a spot on track.

    @MrMacKenzie

    @shadywrx

    @Adb318 056

    @Andy_Mac

    @SILNCR


    The following people have booked tracktime and/or an entry for the treasure hunt, but not yet paid.

    @TonyG

    @Simo777

    @morri001


    That's only 5 people/cars on track at this stage.

    I personally am excited and looking forward to this event, however slightly disappointed in the numbers thus far.

    Please do share the word, and help us get some more numbers along, otherwise the return of MegaMeet will turn out to be a bunch of PlayDay regulars and a couple of Subarus on track.

    Keen as on the Track day on sunday, plenty of time to have the RS sorted

     

    What exactly is amazing race/rally - $20 per person? sounds more amazing than the track day, but I have my doubts :P 

    A series of checkpoints you'll need to navagate to and complete the task for points.
