Maybe Ben can get us a good deal with Finlays????????

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while now. I was thinking about approaching the board about it to see if we can make it an official event if there was enough interest. Plus i think it'd be a great idea, and it would show that the club is trying to promote safer driving.

Of course i can get everyone a good deal
I even had he offer put forward to me to run a toymods racing school at wakefield park for a day, but i would need defineate numbers, im sorry ive been slack with the club lately to get things organised, but if theres enough interest i can get things organised,
There are a few options with what we can do,
We can either hire out the circuit for the day, or just do it on one of their open practice days, and then hire the instructors for the day which i think of the top of my head is about $300
but divide that by even 20 people it isnt a great deal of money.
If we could get 20 defineates, for $100 a head we could get the track to ourselves and instructors, (thats a cheap driving course)
But we need definates and deposites to even think of going ahead. And it to put forward to the board.
of course theres also their standard courses which we could possibly get a group discount on.

Count me in
If we can organise a non-member price as well, I am sure I can get a couple of others.

Sounds good. The idea has been thrown around for a while, but no one's put their hand up to organise it.
Would be a really, really good idea. And I'm sure I can get heaps of non-members to attend.

check out the CAMS website, They've got a driver Training institute which will tell you the closest one to you, and your get to burn around in a Merc or Beemer for a day as a bonus!

I wouldnt do an Ian Luff course even if my life depended on it,
i have seen and heard of many cars that he has written off during a course, and then said well tuff He has got the wrong attitude to defensive driving, thats why A Current Affairs always go to him to do motoring safety stories, Need i Say more...
Let The Sledging begin
Check out events section soon for toymods Racing and Advanced driving course. (im sure i can even get some drifting tuition in too)

all you need for that is a nice big skid pan, some basic knowledge about your car, and an ability to drive..
plus a few sets of tires, and hours

U could always make a special trip down to Sydney for it and spend the week down here or something, then you can do it with us.
