Track Day-Hamptons/Waikato. 2nd June 2018

[Jabeo]

June 2nd Hampton downs carpark 9:30 meet, drive in as a club 9:45
CAR MUST HAVE CLUB STICKER FOR HARDPARK

Dont know if people know about this or if anyone is interested, but i thought it would be cool to go to 2018 Clubfest
$30 for hardpark with added costs for driving on the track. And i believe there are awards for the club too

Might be cool to just meet up and hang out for the day perhaps, if not i might just go anyway as a spectator

mmm. so...
$30 to get in (driver and car) for a club display. $20 for a partner/passenger to get in. (unless under 12)
Then to get on the track is $140 for the driver and $5 for a passenger.

So, all up for a car and two people is $195.
A little steeper than other tracks, but it is Hamptons...got to expect that now.
Also get the skid pan to play on too.

If theres enough people interested in a track day, we could do a club display...
Can i suggest (and you dont have to, Jabeo) is that you rename the title to include "Hamptons" and "Trackday". Maybe put the date in the title?

I'm interested in getting out on the track but that FB link speaks of a "cruise". So, doesn't really sound like a "track day" as in go as fast as you can? Can anyone clarify?

Club fest is usually more of a power cruise-esque type event

Fair enough. I cant get any clarification on how many they will put on at one time. Im thinking its gonna be a big event so might be tough to get much opportunity to fully open it up.
As soon as i get confirmation i can have the day off, i will champion a club display there.
So if others just want to do a show/shine thing and spectate thats cool too.
Im pretty keen for the skid pan too.

I've been on the skid pan a couple of weeks ago. It was both really fun and a good training/learning experience

[Mr-Paulio]

I think this could be a bit of me!

I'm definitely a starter. CJ, from what i read in the link. we need to email the organiser to say the club is coming before we can register. Cruising round the track is cool and lining up some Evo's to take down! I'm also be hitting the drag racing.

Hi CJ

How do we register? The roll racing looks like a good place to unleash the sleeper ( little beat up Mr2)

Hi CJ,
glad you're on the ball mate, I was totally unaware of it.I am quite interested, since it is a Saturday and that leaves me a day to get home and another to recover, since it is Queen's Birthday Weekend.
The only issue will be that it is the day that Sue and Libby get back from England. I will have to see if I can organise for someone to pick them up.
I'll let you know in a few days.
In the mean time I applaud your sharpness. This is the sort of place we need to be making our presence known. If you are going yourself, or if someone else is going in your place, please make sure you have at least one of the new club banner / flags. If we could get some publicity literature together too that would be even better. I forgot to ask Charlie if there were any more of the "business Cards" with the web address left. I have run out. Even if that's all we have it is at least a reminder for those who you have talked to, perhaps adding a contact name / address / phone number on the back if needed. Gives a personal touch and a point of contact.
I have been wondering if we should contact some of the New Zealand based motoring magazines to see if they have a column or page that is intended to provide clubs with an opportunity to make themselves known to possible members.

Ive emailed the promoter of the event. Expect to hear from them shortly. Thats done to ensure we have some space at the event. Once confirmed, i would expect that they will reply with "you can have (X) cars on the track and (X) for showing."
Ive applied for the day off work, and hope to hear about that very soon. I have a banner of course. If that all falls over, Ross is also super keen to be there to lead the charge.
I (think) i have some cards, but wouldnt count on it till i search my boot....
As for literature, i have the big poster that Joel made up for us which gives details on the history of MR2 etc. Thats always been popular.

Just realized that this thread was my original post but renamed, so apologies for the initial confusion ill make note for next time Im all for attending on the day, as i have haven't been to many events since my interest in cars. Probably wont be down for some track driving but will be keen to park up and show the car off and maybe hitch a ride in someone else's car if they decide to track it (dont want to get ahead of my own driving abilities LOL)

Yup. Fully appreciate you posted it up. I felt that it needed to be re-named as it wasnt catching the intended people properly. This became evident at the AGM when no one knew it was on. Since changing it we got some interest. Hope you are going mate.
