[VIC] Upcoming Trackdays

[4ABHGE]

Australia Day 28th January 2013 at Winton in Benalla.

This will be held by Tampered Motosports.

What will be required:

- AASA/CAMS racing license (AASA can be bought on the day for $50 and lasts 1 year)

- long sleeve shirt, long pants, and closed shoes. Nylon is not allowed.

- ADR or DOT approved helmet (closed or half face)

- Secure and safe seat belt

- Firm brake pedal

- No oil/fuel leaks

- Secure battery

What to bring:

- Tools

- Engine Oil

- Wheel chocks (dont use your handbrake once you've pulled off the track!)

- Tyre pressure gauge

- Fire extinguisher

Passengers wanting to ride on the track will have to pay a fee of $20 and must also have an approved helmet, closed shoes, long sleeves and long pants.

General rules (we will run through these again on the day):

- Please limit yourselves to crawling speed through the pit paddock, leave it for the track!

- No reckless overtaking, divebombing, bumping or tapping. Be respectful of other drivers and cars!

- If there is a faster car behind you, hop off the racing line and put your hazards on and let them past... check your mirrors on every straight!

- If someone doesn't let you pass, flash your lights to warn them that you are there. If they still dont, pull back, have a cool down lap and push from there.

- No drifting or skids on a circuit day. You will be black flagged and taken off the circuit by the officials.

- Tampered doesn't have a cool down lap, so when the red light flashes, get off the track ASAP.

What to do once we get there:

- Get your paperwork done as early as possible to avoid a massive line! This is done at the dutton direct building.

- Once the paperwork is done, put your lap timer on and prepare your car. Then line up for scrutineering which is also done in the dutton direct building.

- Before your session listen for 'Group B' on the loudspeaker for pre-grouping which is located to the left of the dutton direct building.

- Track entry is located out of the pre grouping car park

- Track exit is located to the left just before the S-bend

We are in GROUP B and our first session is at 9:15AM -- Please have paperwork and scrutineering done before then so you dont miss the first session!

1 - Andy - White Corolla Sedan

2 - Duy - Green Corolla Sportivo

3 - James - Nissan Skyline V35

4 - Tim - Honda Civic EP3R

5 - Dennis - S2000

6 - Justin - Red Corolla Lunch Box

7 - Jeff - Camry

8 - Johnson - Black Corolla ZRE

9 - Tony - Civic FD2

10 - Phil - Civic EG

11 - Chris - Red Corolla Sportvo

12 - Miki - Suzuki Swift

Pre Meet Details:

4.30AM at Caltex on Mcintyre Rd/Sunshine Ave. We will be leaving 4.45AM SHARP!!

Wallan BP at 5.30AM where we will meet up with the east spiders for early morning traditional winton maccas brekkie!! We will be leaving at 6AM

Make sure you are all fueled up for the day, as there is a 1 and a half hour drive from here to Winton. Petrol stations in Benalla dont open until 9AM.

We will have a quick toilet stop after an hour drive for those with harsh suspension lol

Gates for Winton open at 7.30AM, the earlier we get there the more chance we have of occupying a section of carports together.

Remember to abide by the speed limit as the speed cameras along the hume measure your average speed! There will also be a police presence on the way home due to the long weekend, so please be on best behavior on the drive up and back.

Any questions please ask Duy (green corolla, you can miss it), Phil (EG civic) or myself (Red corolla box car)

[woot woot]

Justin take for a spin round!!!!!!!!! Never been to a track, i will get a helmet. I wont bring my car cause i am petrified it will die

[4ABHGE]

Unfortunately they dont let passengers in on these days :( so it will have to wait for another time... september for sure! ;)

Dude you gotta bring it to the track one day, youll love the near death experience at every braking point... well i do :P

[fillit]

omg :( i want to go!!!! >.> can we pay on the day? i don't think i can get annual leave for it though, nor would they be too happy about me taking days off as it's easter weekend the previous week ><!

[4ABHGE]

Yeah its arrive'n'drive. Ill double check in the next few days to be sure :)

[dorifto]

Note that test and tune is exactly that: they'll have a whole heap of cars of different levels going hard out - it's normally the more serious cars that are and about to fine-tune their set-ups prior to a big event. You're 'better' off organising a Session/Group for one of the Tampered days. Or for cheap thrills, get out and give Deca/Skid pan days a go. I know of at least 3 more Deca's happening this year if anyone wants to go, just requires an AASA License which can be purchasable on the day and an approved helmet.

[4ABHGE]

Not fussed. I just want some track time while i have the time to go, but ive got a lot to do on the car before i think its safe so its still a maybe

Sounds good! Let me know when the next deca day is on

[4ABHGE]
