[Riviera]

Where are you guys based at in Perth?

[AdN]

NOR close to CBD

[slackzy]

I am also close to CBD

[mcopley]

Sorrento.

I can organise a track day at either Barbagallo or RAC DTC if enough S2Ki members are interested.

Maybe RAC DTC tuning session? I don't have license to on Barbagallo yet lol

[slackzy]

Actually I think there is such a thing as a "day license" or license for a day? I recall reading it somewhere..

[AdN]

mike is able to organise track days at barbagallo without a cams license.

I'm Perth - SOR but still pretty close to CBD
Interested in taking the car to Barbs, but I've always been concerned about the giant curb at pit-entry / last corner coming onto the main straight. I was there a while back on the ultra-fast karts and it seemed pretty big.

[mcopley]

The curb is not that big - and if you don't hit it at the wrong angle you have nothing to worry about

[mcopley]

I can organise an AASA event at Barbagallo, but we would need quite a few people to keep the costs down.

[AdN]

those ultra fast kart were the biggest waste of money, definitly prefer the smaller go kart tracks around perth.

id be up for a go kart day i dont trust myself on a real track with an s2000 hahah.

mcopley: how many is "quite a few"? I am not Tak but I do spot quite a few S2ks regularly, I will go stalk them and hand them flyers if we are serious about this. In fact, if i walk out in about 30mins, I should see a GPW parked round the corner.

AdN: Belmont has an indoor go karting track, I went once and they have been spamming me since

Adrian - karts are dull. You have an S2000 so get it on the track (it won't kill you)!

The minimum cost of running an AASA track day at Barbagallo would be as follows;

Circuit Hire : $2500 (half a day on a week day) or $1900 (an evening)
AASA Event Insurance : $715

Total : $3215

If you had about 20 cars, you would be charging approx $160 per car. If we could get 10 S2000's (which is a little more likely) you would be looking at approx $320 for a half day.

you problem is going once, the standard and advance karts are crap the elite and super elite ones make it a bit more interesting, however we stopped using belmont as they restricted our licenses becuase we hadnt been with 3 months. tried the wanneroo go kart track which is an awesome track but the karts are terrible home made jobs. then there is cockburn which is the same as the belmont track but tighter so it more fun even on slower karts.

Thanks mcopley!

20 cars huh... I'll ask few of me mates (non S drivers)...

How many cars do they allow on the track at the same time?

Mate, the best way to enjoy S2k is on the track. On wet day it's even better (and more fun!). Not to mention you'll learn how to drive and handle your. Worst thing that can happen is you'll overshoot a corner and end up on the grass or you have a sore neck at the end lol

If we did the long track (so a half day event), then I would be happy to have up to 10 cars on track at once. If you can find at least 10 cars (preferably all Honda's) then I should be able to fill the other 10. Maybe you could post something up on OzHonda to see how many other Honda's would be interested?

20 S2s on track would be epic!

Spotted a white s2k in Northbridge over a weekend and a red one with black wheels
