Sau Nsw 2nd Offical Track Day For 2006

[d00dz]

Important!

I have just found out that you DON'T need a CAMS licence for this event. I was misinformed about this and offer my apologies to those that have paid for theirs already. The CAMS licence will still be needed for the Eastern Creek track day in October and there are other track days around that it is useful and cheaper for. If you don't have a CAMS licence you do need a Wakefield Park Club Comp Licence which you get from the track itself on the day if you don't already have one. I think these are $40 a year. The CAMS licence negates the need for this though.

Oh darn.. Ah well.. Guess I will have to make use of mine now and come to more events.

Paid!

[satanic]

No worries on the seats... will need the passenger seat to get the GF down there anyway

Payment will be made tomorrow!!! Thank god I'm getting paid tomorrow

stan - what are you stripping out of your car? Just rear seats/boot carpet etc?

[d00dz]

Hey guys should I leave my spare tire at home? Since Its the space saver and 16" while I have 17" 255/235 tyres.

Or is that a no no? Since Wakefield is so far away.

Personally i'd take it, and pull it out of the boot and leave it in the pits before scrutineering. Thats what I'll be doing, and I'm pretty sure most other people do that too. You dont want to get stuck out there without a spare.

You have got to be crazy to drive without a spare!! I am taking my space saver even thou i will have 2 sets of rims!! Dont wanna be stuck on the side of the road in the middle of whoop whoop freezing ur toosh off!!!

[d00dz]

Yeh I thought so.

Can someone give me a run down of how the day will pan out? ie. What the n00b drivers do in the morning etc... What to do on the track? ie. Brake hard? Obviously dont hold up people (but how? do you let me pass or signal or?)

Thanks

I usually just remove my spare at the track and leave it in the garages. They have two rows of carport like things so there is an undercover parking spot for everyone. I suggest all the skylines stick together in the second row back from the track.

There's not much weight in the rear seat so I wouldn't bother with removing that but I do remove the carpet, spare, jack, sub, etc from the boot.

As the for the layout of the day, we will have the proper forms soon but basically you have scruitineering of the cars from about 7:30 to 8am so don't be late. Then drivers briefing. Then newbies go out in the experienced peoples cars for a few laps limited to 100km/h. Then the newbies go in their own cars with an experienced person in the passenger seat for a few laps. Then the day proper starts with probably 3-4 groups each going out for 15 minutes of track time, then coming in and the next group going out.

I don't know why you would want 5 spare tyres Ando!

Victor - Mate just take it easy.... they should split the cars up into different groups according to experience. I have done a few track days ages ago and a Formula Ford day, but will still be going out in the beginner pack. The Cefiro hasnt seen the track so need to get used to how she handles.

More importantly, the day should be about having a fun while still in control. The best piece of advice i got during the Formula Ford day is to drive @ 80%.... try pushing any harder and this is when trouble happens!!

I see. No special ways of driving? Compared to road driving?

Can I sit in your car?

Cool.. This is soo gonna be fun, better than watching. And hopefully no troubles will arise.

I'm taking out the rear seats, my sub, space saver and an assortment of other heavy goodies...

I will be taking it out at the pit though; we'll be bringing the right tools for it.

Is it right that I go through Wakefield to organize our own pit?

[N1GTR]

Stan, when you show up there are just garages/undercover areas, choose one and set up camp mate

Victor - i will be there early and im not driving, so if you or anyone else wants a hand just let me know

[Beer Baron]

i think stan means a pit lane garage. for those you will need call wakefield (well that's how it usually works).

[N1GTR]

Pit lane garage is $50 each

Normal area (undercover etc) is free

Most people will use the free ones, and as for distance, its about 10 seconds further than the pit lane garages so some people cant justify the $50 which is fair enough

Adam, I will have 5 rims because

4 x 15" with Semi slicks

1 x space saver

obviously 17"s for general driving...... so once @ track, chuck the 15's on for that super sticky grip to ensure i stay on the track

it'll take more than sticky tyres to keep you on the track

*runs and hides lol
