    My son just bought a R32 Skyline and thought it was an opportune time to get back on the track and do some father/son bonding and have some fun. I haven't had a life of my own for the past 3 years, so have no idea whose who in the zoo anymore.

    Great idea!

    I've taken my R33 Skyline to these in the past year:

    Luke runs a great day and you will find lots of like minded people there and plenty of exotics are on static display and on track typically.

    They have instructors on hand if you want them and different groups rotating 20 min sessions to give everyone a full and fair run.

    Anthony runs a fun event that's full of challenges mixed circuit, skid pan etc in timed event atmosphere, competitive and good people, good fun with no roll cages required either.

    There's no NSW event in 2011 though.

    Brett runs a performance tuning shop and they do track and skidpan days Eastern Creek and Wakefield Park.. good fun and great "event" for good hard driving.

    Back on topic, any suggestions other than the O'Neill track days at Sandown?
    Not that there is anything wrong with these events, Luke puts on a great day.

    Does anyone know of any up coming track days with decent clubs not full of idiots?

    I realise that I should really posting this on the WRX forum, because Ferrari drivers prefer to hang out in Lygon St or at a show and shine, rather than drive their cars in anger! :p

    not sure if you are the same stephens but i see you have a 550. a stephen with a 550 gave me some good advice on a benz forum about the supercharger on an e55. it was about 10 years back tho.

    and, ummm, good luck with your new man...
