Re: NIMM '08 - October 17th, 18th, 19th

My EBC Yellows were a touch over $200,

They are the first descent race pad i will have used, matched with mugen slotted rotors, ill see how they go.

I completly fucked my discs and cracked my Bendix Advance pads whilst at SIMM.

Im sure the new combination will do the job quite nicely

Re: NIMM '08 - October 17th, 18th, 19th

I was going to split this but there's so many OT posts in here I'm getting lost, so I'll just say back on topic please, start new threads to discuss brake pads/dyno figures/hot German girls. Thanks.

WAITING LIST CLOSED.

Yeah, we have enough entrants/people waiting now. If I keep it open we'll end up having enough people for three track days.

Thursday/Friday track day NIMM '09?

Re: NIMM '08 - October 17th, 18th, 19th

If you reverse the order to be Manfield, then Taupo, then Hampton Downs there's a greater chance of getting 'Waiting List' cars from the Auckland NZHers to fill in the vacancies made by those who broke something on the previous two days.

Re: NIMM '08 - October 17th, 18th, 19th

Lol what the? Wheeler dealer eh?

Hampton Downs and Taupo may be on the cards eh, you have to take into account that the hire fees for Hampton Downs will be very very high compared to anywhere else, it would be a rich trip for a lot of people!

Re: NIMM '08 - October 17th, 18th, 19th

hahaha nah it doesn't

was just thinking of moving the indemnity forms down to the end of the pits, and taking a note of any cars that can take passengers, then we can match people up instead of them just wandering round asking for rides

Dont mean to go to off topic but have you had a look at the prices for Hampton downs James? Full track on a weekday is $4750, quite comparable to Taupo if my figures from Taupo are right.
