Update 6/07/09
The track day on the 14th August is fast approaching! Let me say, all the people I have spoken to who are attending this day are extremely excited
Pretty much everyone has paid now, which has made the organization process almost a pleasure to deal with
As we now have 20+ people confirmed, the ambulance will now be required. I have already organized this through Wakefield Park
Although it does come at an extra cost, I personally feel more comfortable knowing we will have a medical professional on site just incase.The driving instructor has now been booked as well. His name is Len & I know him through the VW forum I am part of (Where he comes very highly recommended). He provides his driver training services at all tracks in NSW & has conducted (Dare I say) MRT driving days in the past. I have already had a handful of people express their interest in this. So if you are keen, please make yourself known
In regards to costs for this service, it will be divided equally between the people interested. My best guess at this stage is it will be approx $35.00 per person.Sadly, there has been very little interest in timing & I think we may have passed the booking date also. To justify the costs of timing ($585.00) we would need all those attending to be interested. I’m sure one of the on lookers will be able to provide some form of timing on the day so we can gauge our improvement
As we now have confirmed numbers of 20+ & everything is booked & ready to roll, I am please to announce that the track fees are down significantly down from the $294.00 which has been paid. The final cost is $230.00 + Wakefield License & Instructor (If either are required)
I endeavor to refund the difference on the day.If you are free on the day, I would encourage you to attend. It’s a great way to improve your driving ability & give your car the berries in a safe & legal fashion… But if you don’t want to drive, one & all are more then welcome to come & give moral support to the drivers. Just make sure you all spend a few bucks at the café (Which will be available to us throughout the day) to keep Wakefield nice & happy
