Drift Practice Day- Sunday Dec 17th

[tas_180]

This is the first drift practice day in Tasmania not run as a CAMS event biggrin.gif, thus not requiring the usual requirements such as a CAMS level 2 licence, pass CAMS scrutineers etc etc.

WHERE: Baskerville Raceway, details of the track and its location can be found HERE

WHEN: Sunday December 17

TIME: 9am-1pm

To make it clear this is NOT a competition, there will be no top 16, no judging just everyone going out and improving their drifting techniques on the track biggrin.gif.

Ok here's a CONFIRMED rundown of what will and wont happen Sunday.

At this stage NO PASSENGERS! There is a slim chance this may change and SOME drivers may be able to take passengers at a specified time during the day, but this decision is out of my hands. This does not mean passengers wont be allowed on January 6 for the olds drift day, the decision has been made for this day only.

There will be a drivers briefing at 8:45AM. ALL DRIVERS wanting to drive MUST attend this briefing before heading out on track.

Practice will start at 9am and will be in the form of single car runs ONLY (ie. no tandems).

The day will conclude at 1pm and for the next 30 minutes all drivers will be required to assist in sweeping the track surface and edges to return it to an acceptable condition.

REQUIREMENTS: Drivers must be a current member of a CAMS affiliated club such as the Hobart Sporting Car Club or Light Car Club of Tasmania. Should drivers not be a current member and wish to participate membership can be obtained at the track on the day for $60.

The entry fee for this practice day is the same as it would be if you were going out to do some practice laps, which is $55. This fee is to be paid on the day.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS:

ADR approved helmet

long sleeve shirt (flame retardant)

long pants (flame retardant)

appropriate foot ware (doesn't have to be race boots or cover the ankle)

and a general road/track worthy car

The following safety items are recommended, but not 100% required:

fire extinguisher and metal bracket

battery and tow indicator (stickers)

secondary bonnet restraint

ANY competitor will/can be asked to leave the track if found not following instructions of the day or doing the wrong thing that would danger themselves and others.

This can and will result in the person being banned from the track and future days.

For further details or clarification of anything written in this thread feel free to PM me biggrin.gif.

Cheers.
