I was more thinking of Demo Derby :) I know that circuit racing is a different game all together. But thanks for the advice.

Going fast is about stopping fast time after time. The first step to getting on a track is joining a car club. The club will issue you a level 2s license that allows you to compete in most motor sport events. The cost of doing up a car for racing is FAR FAR more than buying a prepared car. Remember that your car must be scrutineered before it attends a CAMS event. If you just wanna do laps then contact the racetrack of your choice and ask them about practise days and what license they need. A race car is generally far more reliable, solid and expensive than the same road car. Even proper race use Brake Fluid for your car will cost you over $100.00. My 1977 Datsun Stanza has now had $27,600 in development between me and the previous owner and yet is probably worth $7,000.00 Dominic Votano www.premierstrata.com.au www.unitliving.info Premier Strata Ph 9630 7500 Fx 9630 1915 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Geordie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "[EMAIL PROTECTED] Com.

I am toying with the idea of getting a racecar built up for use in either Street Stocker class or demo derby. Reason being, I bought a XD falcon a few weeks back for $50, I got it running and it's going really well. However it needs a little bit of body work to get it registered. BUT... I am having a lot of trouble selling it. I even listed it on ebay for $1 and all I got was dickheads bidding on it for a laugh, nobody actually wanted to pay when the time came. so the end up story is that i'd like to have a play on the racetrack! Can anybody give me any advice, or who I could talk to, or what I need to do, what sort of licence I might need, etc.. Much appreciated... --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
