Hi folks,

JP here from the SXOC (200SX Owners Club) - I've been talking to Fuku about this & would like to extend an invitation to your good selves to the trackday I've been organising for the SXOC, FTO Ireland, IrishRotary, SkylineOwners & the GT-R Owners Club members in Ireland. I've extended the invitation to the Nissan 300/350Z clubs and the Toyota Supra crowds as well including yourselves now finally! (Sorry about the short notice! )

Originally it was supposed to be a small inter-club trackday but between SXOC, IROC & SO we couldn't fill all 40 spots on our own so I've changed the "theme" of the trackday to accomodate more clubs if they/you'd like to join us? :-)

So-far we've got 200SX's, Silvias, S15's, Skylines, GT-R Skylines, RX7's & (hopefully) RX8's, and we're hopeing to hear from people with 300ZX's, 350Z's, FTO's & Supras. The general theme behind the day now is japanese performance-car owners clubs, so genuine car enthusiasts all meeting up and getting to drive their cars to the limits they're comfortable with without fear of someone in a €100 scrapyard special flying into them sideways!

Sound like something you'd be interested in?

Details of the day are as follows:
Date: Monday 29th September 2008
Time: 1pm-5:30pm (track-time starts at 2, briefings etc beforehand)
Track: Mondello International Circuit, Co. Kildare

Bad news for the drifters I'm afraid though:
"Unfortunately we are not allowed run drifting sessions anymore, they were too noisy and tore up the grass verges, it's a pity cause everyone
enjoyed it but the boss is strict about it and absolutely no more drifting allowed on track days. Sorry about this but it's out of my control."

To make the cost of the day low enough for everyone (I'm aiming for between €175 & €200 per person for the day) we're looking for 40 people or thereabouts.

At some stage we may invite another/other club(s) to join us to make up numbers seeing as we're having the International track for the morning. Details of this will be announced at a later stage.

When putting your name down for the trackday please be aware that I'll be looking for a deposit of €100 from you as soon as you're name's up. I'm looking at getting a bank account that we can use for future events like this; for now just PM me & we can sort out the best/easiest way of getting the money to me or one of the other area reps. If there's a few of you in the same area & one or other is going to a meet in the mean-time for example then would be a good time to club together all your deposits and have them in.

Deposits are non-refundable. The only exception to this rule is if the list is full and if for some reason you can't make it, you can sell your space on the track to another member for the deposit amount or if you pay me the full amount up-front the same applies.

Any questions? Post them up here! Interested? Get your name down!!!

Hi JP - Already spoke to you on FTO Ireland forum - I need to cancel NCT for that date.
Otherwise I'll ask a couple of other guys I know with Zeds to see if they're interested.

One thing though - Is there a noise limit? My decatted RSR is LOUD!

Bloody hell - they let anyone on here these days

Do! Honestly I don't know about the noise limit, I've been there with race-bred Lotus Elise's that you could hear cranking from Cork but I can confirm that if you like? Incidently, they never said anything about my 3" from the turbo-back Blitz Nur-SpecR (it has a token excuse for a back-box) before so I think you're safe!

I would love to, but I can't do the date.

[Dave350Z]

Id actually be quite tempted but Im in Munich for the Oktoberfest next week mate. Make sure the Skylines and MR2's see what an S-chassis can do though eh??

Oh I will don't worry!

Does anyone have any friends that they think would enjoy something like this by the way? They don't have to be Z's, or even Jap, as long as they have a good bit of poke (akin to a 200SX or Skyline, 180bhp+), unfortunately acting on requests from various parties I've been asked that Haichi Roku's ("Twincams"), Hondas (bar the S2k) and small hatches aren't an option. Not intended to offend with that by the way, these are just what I was asked.
