Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted August 7, 2009 Just putting this out there to see if there's any interest in twilight week nights at the Hampton track. Twilight bookings are from 4.30 to 7.00. Wasn't looking at competitive track time ie. racing, more like what we get with track days at Puke, only as a group, so we get the whole 2.5 hrs. It would be ideal for track experience, and car setups etc. I thought a mix of bimmersporters and race guys as it would benefit both. Maybe look at once a month during the season, and $50 a head if we could get 10 guys who wanted to do it on a regular basis, that would cover the $500 a time hire cost. Thought if we got enough interest, and charged $50 a head, if we got more than the hire cost, it could go into a kitty, and go towards hiring the intermediate track when enough money had built up. Would require the usual safety requirements, ie. cotton overalls, helmut, and fire extinguisher, but won't require NZMS approval. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

APT 195 Report post Posted August 7, 2009 So we wouldnt need a motorsport license ? sorry for this question im keen on getting into motorsport.. $50 a month seems pretty cheap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Agreed, thought Tuesdays or Wednesdays would be best. No license needed as far as I can recall, but we would want a NZ drivers license I think, for safety's sake. You would just have to sign a disclaimer regarding damage etc. Driver is responsible for their own car, and repairing any track damage they cause, although with the runoffs at Hampton I doubt you could do much at all.

westy 614 Report post Posted August 7, 2009 Good idea but an hour15 drive each way is a bit much weekly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
