14/08/09 - Wakefield Park Track Day

Count me in.....
not sure if i'll race yet, gotta see how funds stack up and if i can get my car running all good before hand

13 drivers so far & I'm sure we'll get a few more

As if stands, I would like to have some numbers confirmed by this Wednesday as I have previously stated. I will need to collect some funds to sort out the $500 deposit (As it stands about $40 - $38.46 to be exact). From there we can sort out all the other charges & of course any late comers that want to get on the band wagon for some track fun

The cost based on having 13 drivers only would be $339 per person + a Wakefield license if you don't already have one (Or a Cams LS2 license)... So the more people we have the cheaper it will be.

My feelings are that is we do get 20 cars or more ($550 fee will have to be added as we will need an ambulance) we should look at hiring a track marsh, just to keep things running smooth

I think we may have to hold a vote at a later stage in regards to having a time keeper &/or an instructor present on the day... Just costs more money

And since mine is a tourer (not a tracker

) if I am able to make it (weekdays could be hard for me depending on work) I'll be observing - possibly even trying to get you lot organised

Instructor? Any chance you can get the Stig along? :wink:

hey matt, in all honesty prolly no need for a track marshall - if we use common sense and talk about the rules beforehand we should be fine - our last track day was done the same way - we split people into groups, then each group would get about 15 mins each - wakefield let us borrow some flags last time too. Could even get one of the observers to wave people in when time is up

anyways, just my thought.

I may be able to get some rice boy Honda's there too... need to make a few calls.

For anyone also not interested in tracking, just come along for the cruise. I had quite fun just cruising from Sydney to Wakefield the last time!

It is you buddy

No problems mate

It's amazing what can be done when you have some spare time... I guess I'd better enjoy it before I have kids

clint: 6MPS (came to the last one)
del : 135i

i agree, the last track day we had went extremely smooth without a marsal.

by **swingn** » Tue May 05, 2009 9:50 am

No worries then... If everything went nicely last time then we should be sweet

If we have serveral spectators, then I'm sure we can stick them with a few duties

I just didn't want people who were driving to have to put themselves out & potencially miss out on driving time.

At the moment, it looks like will be needing to hire the ambulance for the day

Looks like we might have 20 + cars
