nice class that .....

Make sure you tyres are correct and if you got a same sized spare bring it along ...as front right seems to take a pounding. We got a small crowd meeting at Pavilion roof top parking(outside Baby city) from 6h30 to leave 6h45 for the track so if you want to travel in a bunch cause have no clue where you going ..advisable to meet up with them.

For the okes that want to go alone directions are :

Drive to PMB pass Market Rd and Durban Rd off ramps.....after 100km/h camera take New England Rd off ramp (construction going on)
Turn right over N3
at Engen Garage follow road to the right and up the hill....this is Hesketh drive
Hesketh drive become two lanes....keep going through robots
Hesketh become one lane and keep going up hill
Hesketh bends 90 left, follow bend
100m after left bend turn left into PAT WARM BACK DRIVE..( I know WTF???)
Drive 200m to end of Pat Warm Back Dr into the track.

Drivers to be at track at 7h30 to offload find pits and do documentation.(pit space limited so we have a area for tow cars and trailers just left of pits) You will be pitted according to class .Drivers briefing will be at 8h30 for the track to open at 9am.We will be very strict on bad sportsmanship,dangerous driving etc whilst on the track ....but this will all be explained on the day.You have been warned !!!! We will have some Driver Instructors to help you with setup,lines and driving around Hesketh so help is close at hand (trust me ask for help if you are unsure it saves on tyres etc!!!) Please remember long sleeve shirts and pants(or race suit) ,closed shoes and of course helmet.The day will be split into 4 classes(dependant on talent,track experience and HP of cars) and you will get 3 X 15 min untimed sessions until lunch at 12-1pm.Lunch and cool drinks will on sale plus there will be a braai lit to braai your own meat on as well !!!After lunch we will run a timed "one lap wonder" to get some results ....after which we will revert back to untimed 2X 15 sessions till time runs out at 4pm .Prize giving will be as close to 4pm as possible.Where top 3 per class will be rewarded for their efforts!!! if you late you will sit out the first session.All cars will be decibel tested on the day again ......so don't chance it !!!! Passengers will be allowed in the cars after signing indemnity and must have the right apparel......Public will also be allowed to buy passenger rides(R50) ....so if someone has got a stamp etc and asks for a ride in you car be honoured and take them for a lap or two it wont be in timed sessions !!!!

Ya agreed. We have to get there early anyways to organize pits and everything so it'l be best to go in convoy with the other drivers.

Gary, u can meet us there if you want but it would be nice to have atleast 3 sx's in the convoy on the way there

It sould be alot of fun!

I'm just praying that nothing goes wrong with my sx before saturday.

What do you guys think I should run my tires at? For normal street use I have them at 2.1 all round. I was thinking of upping that a bit for the track day. Good idea? Bad idea? What do you guys recommend.

Gary57 · Post by **Gary57** » Thu Jul 24, 2008 12:51 pm

I run mine at 2 at the back and 2.2 at the front. Remember on the track the tyres will get hot so pressures wil increase.

Trance101 · Post by **Trance101** » Thu Jul 24, 2008 3:31 pm

Yeah i realize that. From what i've read alot of people raise their tyre pressures before track days tho. Just wondering what would be best.

veecee · Post by **veecee** » Thu Jul 24, 2008 6:03 pm

raise your tire pressure at the back to induce rear end sliding!!!

we used to do that on the drift track!
