Roman Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I'm heading to a Taupo trackday, full track on Friday September 2nd...Only $150 for a full day of hooning around! Generally only 25-30 cars total, so the tracktime you get is HEAPS compared to any other event I've ever been to. Anyone else keen to come along? Would be cool to have some other OS peeps there. See link below for details, you just need a car with wof/reg, overalls, and a helmet. It's not a drift day though.If your car lacks wof/reg because it's a dedicated track car or whatever, not necessarily an issue but just need to discuss with the guy running the event. (It's generally fine) http://www.gpforums....s-all-booked-in My old man is gonna bring his JZX90 down for a hoon around as well.Get amongst it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 This was a lot of fun the last time I went. Consider me interested. The temptation to take the hilux on track may get the better of me, which I will no doubt, quickly regret. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 Doooo eettttt Tow the AE86 with your Hilux, then when the hilux blows up on track tow it home with the AE86. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japawagons Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Keen for this also, my exhaust is much quieter than the last GP Trackday so hopefully I won't be as much of nuisance... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 That side pipe wasnt ideal haha. Cool man, hope you can make it along! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japawagons Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 What you talking about, that side pipe is ideal. It's also still there. Just with mufflers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Lack of mufflers was not ideal. Side pipes are great though. Keen to try catch up to your Taupo laptime, you've blitzed way past me now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Im keen to go to Taupo for the weekend and drink some beers most likely...? No racing for me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 That's a given! Myself and Dad are both heading down from Auckland, most likely in two seperate cars (Carina + JZX90) Not exactly sure on our plans but you're welcome to tag along with us if you can knock off work early on the Thursday. (Leaving akl about 3pm) But not sure if I'll stay for a few days or drive back up (or catch bus home again lel) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubb Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Was keen to go to this with my dad. Shame it's been cancelled :'( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Yeah gutted! Good news though is that now that Playday on Track has been booted from Hampton. They are running a HEAP of events down at Taupo. Once or twice a month sort of deal. Which is awesome as previously it's always been hard to try and find trackdays there. A lot of that group of people are instead heading to the trackday on the 19th September: http://www.gpforums.co.nz/threads/511742-Taupo-monday-19th-september I'm still considering heading down. Have you driven on the track before Scrubb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you driven on the track before Scrubb? Yup, I did a trackday there a LONG time ago with the OS peeps in my old Yellow EX. My dad and I are keen for me to have a go in his one of these. Could be fun, but Monday is most likely out for me as I've used all my leave up at work, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
