[VIC] - Winton Track Day on Saturday 20th Feb

[Guni]

Sneeze.INC is organizing a track day next year and the response has been quite overwhelming. At my request, the nice Sneeze.INCers have agreed to extend the invitation to members of TOCAU VIC, NSW too if anyone is keen for a drive down :P

Anyhow, there are 70 spots and most have been filled up so get in quick!!!! Myself and Wil_Rolla have confirmed our attendance on track with a few more heading down to spectate so it would be nice to see more Toyotas there with especially rollas on the track I was there in May this year but have since change my setup so keen to see how well my new PB will be. I can pretty much say the same for Wil too

Anyhow,

* There will be a driver's briefing prior to commencing track time at approximately 9AM. All drivers are required to attend the driver's briefing or will not be allowed on track.

* Please make sure your car is prepared, the quicker everybody is ready to go and have their car checked, the more track time we can have.

* Cars will be divided into groups based on estimated laptime, this is to ensure that there is minimum traffic for you, and as a result you get a clean and safe run. Please provide an estimated laptime in your entry form if you have an idea.

* Timing will be posted on http://www.natsoft.com.au/ after the event, and may be viewable during the day near the scrutineering bay.

* This is not a competitive event, we are all here to have an enjoyable day. Please drive safely and follow instructions, or you will be banned from further driving.

Most spots have been but there are limited few left ....

My last was in May!!!

[Tash]

Hmm..am interested in taking the Camry for a run but not at such a big event - I don't have any of the gear/licences required anyway. Will wait for one of Winton's other open days heheheh

However! I do have family in Wangaratta so am thinking I could make this coincide with a trip home and come and be a spectator :)

Tash, its 50 bucks to join and you can do it on that day.

Spectating is free! but participating is even more fun !!! :yahoo:

[wil_rolla]

an open day,, by that do you mean the fun days? you don't need a AASA for that you just go and pay $30.. how ever i don't recomend them days.. as theres so many cars you can't get a proper run,, i'm talking 30+ cars on the track at the same time, and mixed performance levels..

events like these are more expensive, but way more enjoyable,, thats why me and Guni can't stay away,, :)

Yeah - pretty much that sort of thing, I have been to a couple in the past, must be my luck though as I've never seen one with that many on the track at one time.

Heheh Guni, I'll think about it, but so much stuff I'd have to get, like the extinguisher and racing gear and blah blah. Plus, would rather do it after I get the strut & sway! Definitely want to come along though and see how these things go :)

[Guni]

No worries Tash but if you read the above, it doesn't take much to be track worthy.

-: Car is in road worthy condition (no leaks and 5h!t like that and so on so forth)

-: Fire Extinguisher (Cost about $30 max for 1 KG)

-: Helmet (About $100 - $200 for a decent one)

-: AASA license (Sign up and get it on that day for about $50. Last a year)

I went in May and sent a bench mark for myself. Now I'm heading there to improve on it. :yahoo:

Just thought I let you know it isn't daunting as it seems ..... most imptly .... enjoy

[Tash]

Heheheh cheers Guni - not too bad really I guess! Definitely hope to be able to make it along that weekend as a spectator :D
