Alright guys,

As you know, I am the track slut on this forum and have done some track days and for the most part have always had a blast. So I've had abit of a thought and would like to see who would be keen to track their car at Winton on Sunday March 27. Please note this is a timed day but you can go at any pace you so as wish to.

I have contacted the track owner, Adam and have confirmed with him that I want my own group and will require 14 cars. I have a few friends joining me so a few extra's won't hurt. I know that Kenshin/Jonnieboi/Peter Tran from the forums are keen to go so you won't be alone.

The plan is per normal, we will be departing on Saturday arvo and staying overnight at Benalla before heading to Winton Raceway (15mins away) early in the morning. Why head up Saturday night? Winton is 2.5-3hrs away so I'd rather get some sleep first than do an epic day of track racing. If you prefer to go in the morning then that's your call or you are welcome to join my convoy on Saturday.

The cost of the day is $160, you will need racing license which can be bought on the day and will last a year ($50) and also a fire extinguisher.

Any other questions, just ask. I'm here to help.

Battle time!

Oh yeh, I forgot about the ADR approved helmet, that you will definitely require. As for the extinguisher, you don't need one but it's recommended as you don't know what will happen. Yes, I have seen an engine bay fire before.

Are you able to leave earlier? Or is there another track day a bit later in the pipeline?

You obviously don't know me yet ;) COMPETE, it shall be awesome :D

I'll go hungry for a month if I have to so I can make this one! I want to do this, but can't be 100% at the moment, really depends on funds, but if I can have the funds to do it, I'll be in, be fun and interesting to see how a nearly 20 year old Corolla does around there, hahaha

Ying, the track is 10 minutes from Benalla - 2.5/3hrs hours north from S.E suburbs if you take into account a petrol stop. If you're into cars and all things racing then it'll be a blast but if you're not then it'll be pretty boring as theres not much else to do.

For everyone else wanting to compete, I don't mean to scare you but you are looking at a minimum of $400 to begin with. $160 for entry, $50 for the license, $50 for a helmet, $30-50 for a fire extinguisher (optional), $100+ for new brake fluid/pads (v.highly recommended) and oil and spark plugs before/after racing costing $xxx ammount.

Make no mistake, if you intend on racing, you will be flogging the cars for a while and you want it to run well. Alot of people will say that you won't go hard at all but you've just paid $160 to go on a circuit and 95% of the people there, go NUTS. So if you intend on competing, make sure your car is up to scratch.

I'm going with my friends and our convoy is leaving on Saturday arvo. We'll be staying in Benalla for the night as per norm.

cheers
