MDTC on 28/11/2010

[crashprash]

Hey Guys,

Im planning to go to MDTC on the 28th of this month (Sunday) . I have already called and booked. The reason I picked MDTC is because they have it on weekends (leave is a bit tight for me at work) and its a nice small track to learn on and I believe they do give tuition for newbies. So far the details I got from calling them:
opens at 8am, drivers briefing at 8:45, 9-4 track time.
separated into groups -beginner - advanced
$100 for they day, $30 for license

$20 helmet hire and $50 refundable deposit (or byo meeting aus standards)

So is anyone else interested? Would be great if I get some experienced trackies to go along with and get some pointers. I know its short notice.
Remember you have to call them and book!! and they fill up really quick.

PS. if someone can find the trhead listing all the things to look for and take to a trackday itd be much appreciated!

what has to be done?

are they very strict about noise levels? hope im ok with my twinloop headers and gruppe m

I got a J's Ti so she is way over the limit

[crashprash]

how do they measure the 90db limit? ie do they rev your car at a certain level and check the sound?

EDIT: just called them:
1. they have a sound meter 30m from the track edge
2. inspection check consists of: revving car at 5000rpm and meter at 5m direct line from exhaust tip. has to be under 90db
3. return car to idle and flatten gas pedal. has to be under 95 db.

the tend to be pretty lenient on car noise when i was there, there was an insanely loud supercharged SS ute and a s2000 with a j's exhaust (show s2k for guys that know that car) which was also up there, i guess they have their bad days. you will certainly be fine prash.

dude i need to change pads, get a new alignment and install new suspension before i go to the track again, wont be till at least Feb next year, cant afford to have an off atm either so its best to wait till i begin my internship in feb
