Wakefield Track Day 2011 - 26/8/11

[smythie]

quicker? I thought track days were all about having the most fun. Just ask the boys what they thought of the grin on the Mirage driver's face last year

Do you have a brother smythie? You would understand if you did

I do. Two younger and one (a generation) older. I've also done enough track days to know that sibling rivalry in all but the slowest of karts is a waste of energy and possibly car.

Hi,

I know this is probably be a dumb question but what are the clothing requirements??

Helmets required???????????

^^^

Thought I put all that in the first post... But I could be wrong

Yes, an ADR approved helmet is required, but these car be rented from Wakefield (Limited size / stock available) on the day. Last time I checked it was about $20.00.

Enclose shoes, long pants & long sleeve shirt is also required... Since it's going to be cold, I dare say it won't be anything that you don't bring down already

[smythie]

and about a dozen layers for when you get out of the car

And oil radiator for tony on the pitwall.

Hi guys,

perhaps another dumb question, but its our first track day and we don't want to spoil it by making stupid mistakes.

My brother and I are planning to top up with fuel in goulburn. In your experience will a full tank be enough for the day?

Is there fuel near by and are we ok to leave the track for a refuel and return if required?

Cheers

You can top up In Goulburn, which is a 10 minute drive from Wakefield.

I tend to use about 7/8 of a tank during a track day there, but it’s best not to let your tank run too low, especially with hard cornering.

I usually bring 2x20 litre Gerry cans, which is over kill and store them under cover in the staging area….. feel free to borrow one if you need it for the day.

Your free to leave the track for any reason lunch, fuel, getting 2 ton of grass from turn 1 professionally removed from your wheels or even head home.

I think we'll have the benefit of the electric "flag" boards around the track so I might end up in the control tower Will find out on the day though

You should also have Gav assisting you full time with the top job as well So hopefully you'll get sometime to come out for a hot lap or 2

Sent you a PM the other day mate... From the news I got on the weekend, you could be in luck

So talk to me mate!

[swingn]

Hi All

Have sent off e-mails &/or made phone calls (If I have your contact numbers) to all people who are attending the track day.

It would be greatly appreciated if you acknowledge receipt of the PM / e-mail so I know you have the information etc.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm being a but of a Nazi, but I don't want to be chasing down people after the due date etc.

Any dramas, most of you will have my contact number.

In regards to accommodation, if you are planning on staying down there, I would suggest booking ASAP. The Police Passing Out Parade is on the same day as the Track Day & subsiquently there aren't many options for accomodation left

Cheers!
