Upcomig Track Days

[Roy]

Ill be driving down to visit family in Melbourne some time over the next 3 months. My preference is sometime in September.

Thought it might be a good chance to catch a day at Winton, Calder Park, Phillip Island etc etc.

Anything coming up???? If so what date as id like to ensure my visit coincides.

So interested parties in a Winton Track Day on Friday 12th Spetember (pending confirmation Or other venue of similar date)

- inark

- predator666

- INASNT

- akeenan

- Al

-phorj

...any others that should/shouldnt be on the list?

lol.. nobody can afford track days down here, so they don't really happen all that often..esp not organised through here. If you have a few $100 to throw down you might be able to though.

[Roy]

Im happy to organise if we can get some numbers together.

Which is closer to the city, Calder or Winton?

Calder has open practice days on Wednesdays, @$165 pre vehicle &

Winton has open practice days on Friday 12th September and Friday 26th September, i have sent them an email concerning $$$

So who would be interested?

[inark]

my car would definately be on the rd by then so i would be...

[akeenan]

hmm track days.. thats something ive been meaning to get into

[predator]

yer, but that said, i think if you can get the numbers together and put up some good $ it will be viable..

kevwrx is able to organise a training/track day but it depends what exactly you wanted to do. I think some training could be useful for some of us (me definitely included )

I'd be up for it, assuming my car is all back and running nicely by then.. Should all be fine, but you never know.

[Roy]

Im checking Winton that road registered cars are able to attend their open days, just like at Wakefield in NSW.

This way the day will be run using their insurance, medics & rescue vehicles and the day runs irrespective of 1 or 20 Skylines attending.

As for driver training im sure there are some experienced Vic guys about that can help the 1st timers punt their cars around.

As long as you drive within your cars, and your own limits you will be fine. Plus Winton looks like a nice safe twisty little circuit

[Arsn]

I'm sure that I'll have my car back by then, so I could be interested.

Would love to take the car around a track.

in case your original question wasnt answered yet CALDER is heaps closer to the city than winton - winton is like a 2+hour drive. Comparatively, Calder is bout 30 mins from city...

[Guest RedLineGTR]

sounds like a sweet idea..

[Roy]

Oh well Winton doesnt look so good all of a sudden.

So what Wednesday in September will suit you guys for a trip to Calder? $165 isnt too bad compared to $190 for Eastern Creek

[predator]

any i guess, hopefully the weather is ok, but u can never tell

will have to take a day off, but that is fine.

[Roy]

Im waiting to hear from Calder Park concerning Wednesday 10 September

As far as i can tell your cars only need to be roadworthy, and driver hold a current drivers licence. Add to that a tank full of gas and $165 and we are cooking.

Helmet, Driving suit (available for hire) and Drivers License. Im hoping cotton pants and long sleeve shirts will suffice, will post when i get word.

Roy, I'm pretty sure that Calder was re-registered last month when it went broke. Im not sure what theyre running there now, but they wont have CAMS public liability cover so I doubt they'll be open for anything.

Good luck getting some of those vics into Team Trackday

[akeenan]

im down with the track day too

[Al]

If it is happening, i would be down.

... and heres Tony Cochraine sending races OS, so Bob Jane tiff with the powers to be finally got the better of him.

Might explain why i havent had a response to my emails?

Im determined to get on a Vic track, i might go back to emailing both Winton and Calder.
