a distinct possibility, if we get over 30 people.

We guarantee at least 140 minutes seat time on the race track. However, although not a school - in the interests of safety, common sense and the USUAL DRIVING SCHOOL RULES WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED e.g. play "nice", point-bys for overtaking etc.
Please register as soon as possible to insure a spot for the event. The cost of the event for reservatioans of less then 7 days is $200. I am doing this to avoid people look out for weather forecast and elect not to come if the event got rained out. We will be at the track rain or shine.

I will be attending this event, and working with Perry (StealthyS2K) to make this event a success.
For those that don't know my past, I possessed a Confederation Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) General Competition racing license and have been driving high performance cars (and riding sportbikes) on racetracks since 1991.
With regards to individuals that have never been on the track before, Perry, myself and I believe a few others who have had extensive track experience will be working with 'track newbies' to help them in their safe initiation to the racetrack.
It will be low pressure, and we will show you all about car control, apexing, braking and racetrack etiquette. First you'll come out in our cars as we show you how it's done, then we will ride in your car with you as you take your 'first steps' onto the track, giving you pointers along the way.
Other drivers will know that you are new and will extend a strong level of courtesy and give you a wide line in which you can learn. From what Perry and I have discussed about the event, this day is a track day, NOT a full blown race!!! Correct me if I am wrong here Perry!
We hope to see both new and old drivers at the event. There is room for all types and you can take it at your own pace!!!!
Please come and join us!!!! :-)
Cheers,
