Anybody interested in coming along to a drive day at Marulan this saturday (October 3rd)?

I went down a couple of weeks ago after a HUGE break and had a great time. Not so many cars on the track at the same time and we had a lot of track time. Did quite well considering the break, and keen to go out with proper tyres and tighten things up a bit.

Weather is looking good and hopefully my semis have not crumbled to dust (it was still great fun even on street tyres)..

If it was Sunday I'd be keen... Heading down to Goulburn on Sunday for the Circuit Club day on the Monday :)

I'm almost tempted to push my luck with the wife and stick around for the weekend :lol:

Well... this worked out well. :)

It was super hot, but luckily I had snagged one of the rare covered spots thanks to an early start.

I'm sure you guys probably know, but just to put it on the record, apparently semi-slicks will survive 2 years in storage; they worked just fine and were as sticky as hell, although with the track temps being what they were today, they would go off after about 5 laps (which is quite unusually for V700s). Not sure if it was the long storage time, high track temps, or dodgy driving..

Had an awesome time; somewhat more busy that the last time out, but did ok and returned without bending the car, so that's not bad.

Marulan is a great track. Tight and twisty, Perfect for mx5's.

The MX5 club is having another day there on the 25th October if your a member.
