12-02-2007, 06:26 AM
Posted this "Feeler" up on the illawarra site tonight to gauge interest
Since we have a few rider's participating regularly in track days on this forum, I was thinking who would be keen in learning some race craft.
Circuit Breaker's has proven and leading motorcycle riders offering tuition. Names like Kevin Magee, Shawn Giles, Josh Brookes, Damian Cudlin, Daniel Stauffer, Mark Atchinson Russell Holland and Glenn Allerton.
The dates that I propose are: May Thursday 10th. I Choose these dates because the climate is more comfortable in leathers.
Price: Normally $295.00 + Transponder Lap timing, Including One on One instruction, Class room theory, On track displays, 6 X 25 minute track sessions, Lunch, water and refreshments all day. Now reduced to Rats Discount: 5+ Riders : $265 per rider + FREE Lap Timer hire.
At the moment I won't be doing anything. Just putting this out as a "feeler".
ATTENTION!! +10 rider = $250 Including free lap timer hire

sounds good to me. never done a race school before. what r the prerequisites?how fast should one be?
dungbeetle
21-02-2007, 08:19 PM
doesnt matter how fast ya are...therewas 2 groups last time i did it. qikker than 1 min 50 and slower than 1 min 50. they group ya after the first session and ya go from there....its a fun day with plenty of track time and all of it timed...
shane
21-02-2007, 08:40 PM
Do you have to have had some track time to benefit alot from it?
dungbeetle
22-02-2007, 05:45 AM
ok i just checked out this
http://www.circuitbreakers.com.au/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=6&Itemid=27
it says there that one group is for new to the track and slower speeds at the track...so i dont reckon youd have a prob if ya havent been before...
i reckon it would be a good way to learn the track, rather than goin out cold turkey at a track day!!
Poyda
22-02-2007, 06:05 PM
PM me some info dungy, i'll consult the finance minister and maybe make this my next track outing, would rather wait and extra month, invest the extra $100 and finally do a race school

nuthin is defiante til the money is in the bank mate....
as much as i would like to guarentee your spots. james wont do it til the cash is in...
i dont think he has ever sold one out so ya should be pretty right, but ya never know. once the cash starts rolling into the account, ill book a bunch each friday...until james runs outa spots!!
I just looked through my PM's and couldn't find it... can you resend payment details or direct me to which page I can find them on?

Paid!
Woo hoo!
How long does it take to install the lap timer on my bike?
5mins it's just a transponder (little square box), it comes with a bkt & zip ties so the only problem you have is finding somewhere to place it.
dungbeetle
22-03-2007, 05:14 PM
straight from the battery mate...the wires should be loing enuf..
this is why i bought the 6V one...super easy to fit!!:D
Are bike batteries 6V? :confused1:
Ya learn something every day!
dungbeetle
22-03-2007, 06:36 PM
no they are 12v....
my 6v unit used 2 batteries inside it so i dont have to wire it up...but its pretty simple mate. i can do it for ya if ya at one of the track days in the future. i always bring my soldering iron...
Cool! I'll probably get Jace to help me out. He knows how bad my "electrical skills" are...
dungbeetle
22-03-2007, 06:41 PM
noworries mate. he would be well experienced with wiring and those sort of problems being a tiller owner!!! i have rewired half my bike!!:(

Bugger, I didnt know about RATs and started a small group, got 5 going so far under the group name of 'mates'....
In order to join your lot what do I tell the others to register a group name as.. "RATs" ?? Anything else I need to know.
Awesome forum, came across it on the illawarra riders... glad I did.

Gday back mate,
This is some seriously good stuff happening here... pity I'm not one for weekend rides but we will most definately seek out the bunch with the RAT shirts to say hello!
There'll be a bunch of four or five.. CBR1000RR (poss x 2), ZX6R 98, Z1000 05 and Duc 800 M2R.
Great stuff, see you there!
Ps. have fun tomorrow!

01-04-2007, 06:48 PM
The calendar is good because it allows us to see how much interest there is in a distant trackday or road ride.
It's obviously not a list of people who are coming. If you don't enter your name there then you won't be on the calendar list, duh, mono!

i got off the phone with james about 5 mins ago and we had a quick chat about race school....i asked him the same question turtle and he said there are first timers at his race school, right thru to racers. he now does 3 groups of 15 riders in each, so the groups are small...
ive done one of these a year or so ago and loved it. learned heaps, got some new lines at ec, and found my times were a bit slower than i expected them to be!! its also a bargain since we got it for $250!!!
also guys cause the numbers are so small, best ya get payments in soon...

jasonbw
12-04-2007, 07:13 PM
Yep, James asked that question on Tuesday at the race school, how many have never seen the track... my two mates hands up and one other guy... no problem...
I watched their progress through the day, they did great, no stress and definately not the slowest, so dont stress about that.
One ended up falling in the 2nd last session, he lost concentration even though he had been pumping water and snacks through himself all day... diabeties (spell?) I suspect was the cause, the typical mind wander. Anyway hes fine.
I would have to say though superbike school would be my pick for the first time track rider, but due to its cost it wont be everyones choice. Just its gentle intro to the track makes you feel real easy.

I suspect we are going to have heaps more on the day though.
Didn't we have something like 30+ say they would do it?
dungbeetle
14-04-2007, 10:59 PM
yeh theres near 30 on page 1. im just hoping it dont sell out. he only has 45 spots i think!!!
Is it easy or tricky to send out PM's to the people on page 1 that haven't paid yet?
I'd hate to see them miss out!
Yeh, I guess they do!
I am just worried some may not realise that they need to pay soon or risk missing a spot.

Turtle
14-04-2007, 11:20 PM
Oh yeh!
Cool !!!!!!!!! What group ya goin' in ???????
Slowest I think, though I did slow group the last 2 times and I think maybe I should go up one (to B2).
I'm not sure if the Circuit-breakers will have the same groups as a track day though.
Does anyone know how it runs? How many groups do we have?
I'm guessin' 3 groups of 15?
According to Jasonbw's brief you do get to nominate but you better back that up in the first session by qualifing.
dungbeetle
14-04-2007, 11:47 PM
yeh they categorize ya depending on ya lap times in the first session...
james said to me the other day that it is 3 groups of 15, but thats only 45 people all up so im not sure if thats right!!

Hey Dungy, I thought I overheard you saying you have to be good with numbers/maths to do your job!
If we have 11 paid up, and James has 17 spots for us, how did you get the 13 spots left? :confused1:

PM Dungbeetle mate, he'll let you know.
And have fun, ahhh thats right, remembered what I wanted to write before (but forgot then)... please take extra care in the last two sessions, you'll be knackered and circling a racetrack at a very committed speed. Pay attention to your body, if you start cramping up or losing the clarity you first had then pull out.. lots dont even run on the last session due to that fact.

16-04-2007, 11:56 PM
HA ha... 15/42, but that didnt work too well, I'm going to add a tooth up front or so.. speed down the straight was limited using 15/42

How 'bout 16/42 ???
jasonbw
17-04-2007, 12:17 AM
just checked out the gearing calc, maybe too big of a jump, will try 15/40 next time. Really with my (lack of) riding skill it wouldnt matter much but it just revved out going down the straight.
dungbeetle
17-04-2007, 11:54 AM
i had 16/42 on the tl and it was pretty good at ec.
and james confused me a little with his maths as well!!! but on his site it says theres 37 spots booked of 50, which leaves 13:D
but 17 of the 37 are ours, but then he said sumthin about 2o already booked, but then another 15 booked while he was away!!! so in the end i got no fukken idea!:(
anyways we should have a few spots for us:D

Hang on Jase 15/40 gives you a final drive Ratio of 2.66:1 and 16/42 gives you 2.63:1 Not much in it ???? I'll leave mine on 16:42....
Hi guys
Not making any promises,but I'll be speaking to Jeff at Rapid meg over the next few days & depending on his schedule I may try to get him out to EC on the 10th to do a story on us while we are at the track....:mod_smilie_rockwoot

No worries. For anyone who is curious, I went to last circuit breakers race school and it was awesome. They provide more track time than any other track day I've ever been to. Also for the rest of you that are going, I would suggest you start thinking of stuff to ask when you get there. You kind of have to extract the information you want. Obviously there are guys there that can answer anything, but some things that aren't covered in the course content won't be discussed unless you ask.

Alternatively, i am going to want to make up for missing out by going to the ec trackday on friday 25th so if anyone going to that would prefer this and missed out then they can make up the difference and we can swap?

RAIN don't stress about it even if there MAYBE some. EC has very good drainage & about the only corner on the track to really watch is 7 because water can pool there & don't use cement strip. The big problem is people using slicks with no spare rain or road tyres to use.
