Track day @ Zwartkops Poll

Post by qewrty »

So, on the swartkops webbie is this little hint:

RENT THE TRACK:

The Zwartkops tracks and skidpan can be hired for driver training, product launches, corporate days, car testing, filming, etc.

Contact:
Tel: (012) 374-5802
Fax: (012) 374-5801
Cell: 082 451 3034
e-mail: info@zwartkops.co.za

Speak to us about club rates and packages!

-----------------------------------------

So the question is, what would you guys like to do most if we do have hire the track. Drifting is an option on the poll but I doubt that means anything more than skidpan stuff! ;)

PS, this is just to see what interest is out there and we at least know what the guys want before we approach them

Really? That is cheap dude. I can do Jhb to dbn in 4hrs but I would never be able to afford it!

As the song goes, there's so much more I would've done if they'd let me!

I suppose most of us aren't going to do this once a month even but if planned right and you're expectations are realistic it will still be worth it. Do 130 in a 70 zone and you're 1500 down!

Naaah....

Stupid is seeing the trap... slowing down... continue chatting with buddy about speed traps... then unknowingly speeding up again... and hitting the trap

Easy, I did Pretoria to south coast (Airport) in 4.25, slowed down to 140 for rain... Std 3.0 Skyline before all the camera days.
Now that I am married... best is 11 hours there and 13 hours back. :cry: All the pit stops :roll: every single Ultra Shitty, small town, picnic tree/spot, seen them all on the same day. :lol:
