The $50 dollar autosports day was a promotional day, cheap because it was subsidised by the track owner (ie get people onto a new track cheaply so they will go away and recommend it to friends - basically advertising).

Only one kilometer ? Wakefield is only 2k - perhaps we should all ditch Wakefield as well and only go to Phillip Island, because length obviously matters - especially when you're talking low-powered Datsuns. I love being able to cruise around a circuit absolutely flat out and hardly having to brake at all because my car is so underpowered.

Lining pockets ? Perhaps the owners of the circuit are lining their pockets. Or perhaps they are simply trying to recover some of the very large investment they have made, and have priced the circuit hire accordingly. Or do you have some inside info into their business plan ?

SDC trying to line its pockets ? Must be, or perhaps they are just trying to get enough entrants to cover their cost.

I'd also like to know where else I can get a track day for $150 that has less than 20 participants ?

Anyway, enjoy sitting at home on Sunday Mr Converted. I'm going to be out there, having a ball on a new (and by the looks of it, quite challenging) circuit in the company of a small but friendly group of Datsun enthusiasts who are prepared to try something new rather than just whinge about people who actually get out and do something.

Cheers
