To be honest man I haven't. That actually sounds about the same for Taupo, heh.

Definitely will look into it for next year. That's nearly $10k worth of track day though!

In fact, I'll flick them an email..

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

I guess 4.8k is reasonable considering the level of the track. Ruapuna is sub 2k for a weekday... lol.

just a thought...

Back to topic....

I actually had been thinking about the possibility of having the Drive in ......in conjunction with NIMM. And was going to fling James a PM regarding this, however the more I thought about it the more I realised That everyone is gonna want to get on the piss as opposed to go sit in a car and watch a movie.

Also, at mates rates (and some of the gear we'd have to back door) the cost of the equippment is high.....so whether much money would be made is almost doubtable......not impossible but i think youd only really be able to break even with it unless you can line up a free or damn cheap venue.

Get an old laptop carry-bag and hack it up to sit securely under your passenger seat.

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

vibration could be a problem mike, laptops dont like to be jiggled
ive got sam's headrest cam mount in my car at the moment, its got a screw mount to fit a normal digital cam/video cam on it, works fine except for when the seat shakes lol. but im gonna try fitting it to the drivers seat and see if that eliminates the vibrations
