We should have a track day!
« on: June 17, 2023, 09:35:16 am »
So I'm feeling the need, who else wants to meet up and have a track day at Shannonville Motorsport Park?

August 7th is a SMP mix and match day, for $60, from 10am to 5pm, you can do laps of Nelson circuit or drag race on the back straight strip. 
No special gear needed, instruction is usually available.  Great deal for lapping time.

Who's up for it?


There are other options as well, July 14th is a full day on the full track, but  it's $240
There is also Monday evening lapping, several dates on the schedule, it's full track but only from 6pm to 8pm, but also only $60

I would be up for that but the drive would take days.  Looking forward to pics though.

I'd be down for it but August is vacation month for me. September would work best for me.

I'm in for Aug 7 at SMP if you're organizing! I'll bring the LC500 or the Vantage...

I got the clutch working again on the Miata so no excuses not to go.

I'm planning on going to Shannonville on the evening of the 17th for the Motion Monday full track lapping.   Anyone else up for a cheap-ish short-ish evening lapping time?

Dammit, camera didn't work on TrackAddict, no videos.
Bubba would have liked to see the Challenger with a 440 on the track.

Next Monday Madness track evening is July 8th if anyone is interested.

For Bubba



I somehow didn't get any footage of the full race tube-frame challenger that was shifting at 8500rpm :-[
