S A U N S W - Wakefield Trackday, Number 3 For 2011

[N1GTR]

[Amended on 26-09-2011]

[updates reflect changes due to Renew Withdrawl]

Hey all,

Wakefield Park doesnt need much of an introduction to most of you, to anyone thats never heard of Wakefield Park this is a very safe track about 2 hours from Sydney where you can drive your pride and joy as fast as you like with safe run off areas and no speed cameras to worry about!

If you've never driven on a track before and want someone experienced to give you instruction and help with how to drive better, faster or safer, or even if you've done a couple of trackdays and just want to ask some questions (no matter how silly they may seem) we have this at no extra charge available throughout the day.

For the trackday format is currently under discussion with our committee. Be sure that we will get back to you with firm details as soon as we can. There are some exciting options being looked at, so watch this space for more updates in the coming weeks.

Rest assured that there will be plenty of opportunity to run your car through its paces or come out for a first time and learn how to track your car.

Ok so here's the details;

Date: 17th December 2011

Where: Wakefield Park (www.wakefieldpark.com.au for directions)

Who: Anyone with any car (doesnt have to be a Skyline)

What: Trackday, suits total beginner to advanced

What time should I get there: 8am at Scruitineering for experienced, 730am for beginners (Scruit finishes at 840am sharp, if you're late you need to wait until the day has started so the rest of the group isnt held up)

How much(Revised): SAUNSW members $190 per driver, non members price $220 per driver

Passengers: Allowed on passenger sessions, must wear helmet and same clothing as drivers aswel as sign an indemnity form and pay a small fee

Licence needed: CAMS L2S or AASA club licence ($50 for 12 months, yes you can arrange this on the day no worries)

How the day runs;

Firstly, when you arrive at the track, find a place to park and empty all loose objects out of the car. Ensure there's nothing loose in the engine bay and no leaks (More info on scruitineering will be posted up at a later time). Then drive your car to the scruitineering shed (its marked, but if you dont know where it is, follow where everyone else goes or just ask someone, its very easy to find, directly on the left as you enter from the highway). Your car will be checked to make sure its safe to go on the track and it will then be assigned a number which is your number for the day. You then park the car back in your original spot and go to the office to sign on. Take your licence with you or if you dont have one, this is where you can get one. Once you've signed on its now time to wait for the drivers brief to begin (which will be announced on the loud speakers throughout the pits and starts at 845am sharp). Once the drivers brief is over, all the drivers are split into groups based on experience so that everyone is comfortable in their group. One group is then allowed on the track at one time for evenly timed sessions, once one group comes off, another goes on, this repeats until the end of the day with a short break around lunch so officials and helpers can get some food and drinks.

Thats basically it! The only way to secure a spot is through sending in an entry form and payment to the SAUNSW account. The very basic entry form is attached to this post and the bank details are below;

Branch - Marrickville

Bookings at Wakefield are hard to get, that booking was made last year - since Oran Park closed down Wakefield have been booked out for more than a year in advance

Also, its open now for those enthusiastic people who cant wait to sign up from the last one - haha Mark (above) is the perfect example

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

i too will be in for this one.

hopefully with my over boost/miss/whatever the fcuk it is will be completely sorted... hmm maybe 1.08 will be doable

[dnissi]

highly likely i will be throwing the s15 around the track again for this one

i need brake pads and toe arms first tho LOL

[Duncan]

We have decided to open entries for members only initially.

If you know of a non-member who wants to enter....point them towards the membership form http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/365434-s-a-u-n-s-w-club-membership-faq/

Entries will be opened to non members if there are place still available shortly before the event.

surely your car can put a 1:20 to shame, mine did a 1:13 with a waste-gate that wouldn't open because the lines melted and split (still managed to send boost off the end of the boost gauge )

id like to be in for this. see how i go (few things to blow $$ on before it hits the track again)

http://www.skylinesa...ser/95-andymac/ (guy was at the last day and is the previous owner of my car would likely be surprised that the exterior hasn't changed apart from a different front bar)

[Tats]

Car is capable of much better, the car won't be the weak point on the day lol. Will be my very first time around Wakie!

[TiTAN]

if duncan is going to be there get him to go around with you/take your car for a few laps so you can see what lines you should be talking and where to brake etc. having an experienced person there for your first few outings is a must have.
