Title: Couple of pics from a recent trackday
Post by: El Dopa on October 30, 2007, 02:47:40 PM
Some pics from a recent trackday that myself and Erik went to. I'll leave it up to Erik to post his as and when. He might have some video fotage as well.

Looks like you had some fun. We gotta talk you into getting that ass off the seat a little more. :motorsmile:
How much does a track day cost in NZ? Does it go all day? I don't even know why I'm asking. I'm just curious because when I ever get to NZ (in my dreams), I'd like to do a track day. That will be my "if I ever win a lottery, I'd" do this kinda thing. I'd travel around and just do track days everywhere I could and New Zealand would be on my list. Ok back to my meds.

Yes, I need to start shifting my weight around more. I had a shiny new set of leathers for this session, which gave me a bit more freedom of movement where it was needed, so I was experimenting with my hanging off. My legs are still sore three days on, and I thought I was in reasonable shape.....Got to get match fit for the next one.

Track days here are around NZ$100-$120, depending on the organiser and whether its a weekend or not. I didn't go away from this one wanting more track time - I had to sit the last (fifth) 20-minute session out because my legs were starting to feel like jelly.

If you ever start thinking seriously about coming down here, give us a yell. I'm sure we can sort something out for you.
