Harvs11 Posted 19November, 2016 Report Share Posted 19November, 2016 Is there access around the track for those of us who like to watch? and take photo's? We're gonna make Sandown great again!You know, I'm a great driver, really.. I've driven lots and many people tell me all the time im a great driver... We're gonna start by building a wall around the track...so you can run cup pipes at 110db and the neighbours won't care. You know I've done a lot of construction...

Steve88 Posted 19November, 2016 Report Share Posted 19November, 2016 Was speaking with Darren the owner of Auto-Coupe Eltham today as I was checking the update on my SC and ran into GUT getting a few mods done.Darren said he would be happy to come along today and support his current customers and provide assistance where he can to others.This is also a great chance for those who have never met the nicest guy in the biz or those looking for a fantastic workshop to meet Darren and see how much he knows and cares about his customer base and their cars.

Macca Posted 20November, 2016 Report Share Posted 20November, 2016 Besides a car and tank of fuel. What do we need to bring?Do I need to buy helmets etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh Posted 20November, 2016 Report Share Posted 20November, 2016 Besides a car and tank of fuel. What do we need to bring?That's pretty much it, just make sure you empty the car of everything (kids seats, spare tyre etc.) We will also be having an information night closer to the date to go over most of the typical checks prior to hitting the track. I will double check but I believe you maybe able to hire helmets through Driver Dynamics so don't run out and buy one just yet! symsy and Macca 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted 20November, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 20November, 2016 Was speaking with Darren the owner of Auto-Coupe Eltham today as I was checking the update on my SC and ran into GUT getting a few mods done.Darren said he would be happy to come along today and support his current customers and provide assistance where he can to others.This is also a great chance for those who have never met the nicest guy in the biz or those looking for a fantastic workshop to meet Darren and see how much he knows and cares about his customer base and their cars. Hi Steve88 We're all super excited about the track day (now in Feb!) and it's fantastic that Darren from Auto-Coupe is interested in the event. As you know, we have Trade Suppliers on the PFA - companies who have supported our forum for over 4 years now. These guys are invited to come to the track day and promote their businesses - free of charge - as a benefit of their membership. Businesses like Darren's are welcome to participate, however as he has not been a Trade Supplier, he needs to have a chat with us, as there will be a fee. There are plenty of opportunities available which we will be announcing soon for sponsorships and activities on the day. Shoot Darren's email through if he would be interested in being on the database. Cheers, Orlando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, OrlandoHope I'm not out of line Orlando and also confirming I'm in the fitzgerald camp not with Auto-Coupe camp (if you're watching Peter?). I think if their happy to look after the service of wheel changes, tyre pressures and the other things that pop up and can ruin a track day, then it's great that they are looking after their clients. I understand that PFA has advertisers, can you let me know which ones will be providing a track a side service? Again mate hope I'm not out of line?

I understand that PFA has advertisers, can you let me know which ones will be providing a track a side service? Again mate hope I'm not out of line? No Mate, not out of line at all! We're hoping to provide a number of great services at the Track Day - there's even going to be a Photo Booth for your beloved…. (Pcar) that is. We'll be announcing all of this shortly - but in the meantime, we intend to support those who support the forum first. (Auto-Coupe is warmly invited to become a supporter of the PFA BTW). People who have not contributed to the forum will need to pay a sponsorship fee. Existing trade advertisers don't pay and they get first dibs…..not to say there can't be more than one trackside garage offering services to the drivers. As we said, if Auto-coupe or anyone else is interested in participating as a sponsor, we'll be providing goodies to help them build their profiles with the membership as part of the package. We're after a WIN/WIN outcome. Orlando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve88 Posted 21November, 2016 Report Share Posted 21November, 2016 Hi Orlando just spoke to Darren at Autocoupe and sent you his direct email and number. ?? Essentially I think the more members , potential members , specialist workshops , spectators and other contributors the better.

TrevMcRev Posted 22November, 2016 Report Share Posted 22November, 2016 According to Driver Dynamics terms and conditions page (which I have obviously read!) states "PLEASE DO NOT BRING SPECTATORS WITH YOU AS THEY WILL BE REFUSED ENTRY" and "PLEASE DO NOT ASK US FOR EXCEPTIONS TO THE ABOVE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AS REFUSAL OFTEN OFFENDS"So did PFA manage to get an exception to the T&C's?
