Can you take your own road car on the track...or just race cars ??

Anything you like mate. Up to you to make sure it is safe though. Your pretty much only need a helmet and away you go. Very laxed as Brent said.

had good time . after a few laps i noticed a bit of noise when braking hard at the end of the backstraight . (must check those brake pads) after a couple of sessions , thought i might swap the front and rear wheels around to save the front left tyre a bit , took the wheels off ,no brake pads left in the front . so a quick trip back home to papakura swap the pads out for some others i laying around , and while i am doing this i get a text fornt my mate back at the track saying better bring a tow rope saying car went pop after 7000rpm .

so anyway i head back drive around the track pick him up at the end of the back straight to w the car back to the pits . we do a few tests , figuire its just the fuel pump , tow him back ot drury , swap out the pump . still no go then discover no spark at the plug leads , but had spark at the coil lead (tested back at the tarck) pull the dizzy cap off found the rotor cap in bits ,swapped that out and a way it goes again .

then off to the "2 fat cows " for drinks and food.

managed a few good laps ,

but the brakes wern't so good this time around .
