Phillip Island - Volunteers - 31 March

[Bec]

Hey guys,

Ive been asked by the WRX Club to see if there is anyone who might be able to assisst as back-up recovery for the next track day at Phillip Island on Sat March 31.

Stephen Dean has already kindly offered his services for the day, but in case there are multiple incidences they are hoping to have a second car there on the day.

Its such a big track and in the spirit of giving drivers as much time driving as possible, they are looking for help with this one.

Anyone who might be able to help out, can you post here, or email Lyn at [email protected]

Also, if anyone else wants to assisst with flagging, etc on the day - please email Lyn as above.

Thanks guys and girls,

BEC

You'll be provided with a handy Russian recovery vehicle with lights and stickers too.

B - I'll be there for this, with both cars - so will help instruct volunteers as well as cheat.

Essentially you park just off the track behind the barriers at a convenient location (if we can get three vehicles then it would most likely be pit exit, Honda and Hayshed) and if you are lucky, the most you will have to do is pickup and deliver the flaggies/equipment during the day. What normally happens is that if a car goes off or stops for any reason, then they are towed by one of the recovery vehicles either back on to the track if they can recover to the pits under their own power, or are towed back to the pits if they can't.

I'll be there with the Navara, but I'd be lucky to break three minutes around the track in it, so having a few extra helpers would be very good.

Want to get close to the track?

Want to get great views?

Want to be right there amoungst the action?

If you answered YES to any of the above, then you want to help out with flagging on the 31st.

If you are interested in helping out, please email Lyn at [email protected]

How are you getting both cars down to the island James?

Do you need a second driver?
