2008 Drift Practice Days @ Baskerville

[grandmasterb]

Here are the dates for the drift practice days at Baskerville Raceway for the remainder of the year. Hope to see everyone out there having fun and having a go in a safe, legal environment. These practice days for enthusiasts of all skill levels and budgets, everyone is welcome!

- April 19

- June 28

- September 13

- November 8

The above practice days will run exactly like the other drift practice days in Tasmania. IE: NOT run as a CAMS event, thus not requiring the usual requirements such as a CAMS level 2 licence, pass CAMS scrutineers etc etc.

ALL PRACTICE DAY TIMES: 10AM - 4PM

To make it clear these days are NOT a competition, there will be no top 16, no judging just everyone going out and improving their drifting techniques on the track. Passengers WILL NOT BE allowed.

Practice will be in the form of single car runs ONLY (ie. no tandems). Tandems are not allowed due to track insurance reasons. Basically there would be no insurance should two cars be drifting in tandem, because of this it is single runs only.

There will be a drivers briefing at 9:45AM FOR ALL PRACTICE DAYS. ALL DRIVERS wanting to drive MUST attend this briefing before heading out on track. PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE!

Throughout the duration of the event there will be NO CARS allowed across the track UNLESS there is an emergency OR a valid exemption (which must be approved by a committee member before the gates will be opened).

There will be 30 minutes at the end of the day designated for all drivers to assist in sweeping the track surface and edges to return it to an acceptable condition. ALL DRIVERS MUST PARTICIPATE IN THE SWEEPING OF THE TRACK!

REQUIREMENTS:

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 IF you are a member of a Motorsport Tasmania & CAMS affiliated car club such as the Hobart Sport Car Club or the Light Car Club of Tasmania. IF you are not a member of such club the fee will be $115.

The fees are 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.

Cheers.

PLEASE NOTE- IF YOU DO NOT ASSIST IN THE SWEEPING OF THE TRACK AT THE END OF THE DAY AND ARE NOT GIVEN AN EXEMPTION TO DO SO THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEXT PRACTICE DAY.
