Track Day 25Th Feb - Winton

[180Shauny]

Hello All,

This event was orginally posted on the Stagea subforum but I thought now that the awesome Nissans are invited I should extend the invite to the rest

As the title says date is Monday 25th of February and we are going to have timing on the day as an extra incentive. Winton also accept AASA licenses as well as the normal CAMS ones. This is going to represent a cash saving of about $50 for anyone who doesn't already have a license.

At this stage we're looking for a deposit of $50 to secure your spot.

All entrants/passengers will enter entirely at their own risk, vehicles will be subject to scrutineering prior to being allowed on the track.

All car types welcome provided they are safe. There will be a group for bikes too.

Please follow the link to the MR2 Club website to download the forms. Post up or PM me if you have any queries.

I'm a little confused from the entry.

So it's $50 to secure a spot, seems fine.

But final costing says 140 based on 80 entries. (140 is an excellent price for a times day at winton BTW)

however what happens if there 40 spots does the price jump to 280?

I unfortunately would not be able to attend but looks like a fun day but would mostly likely get more entries if you clarified this?

Just realised that this is on a Monday... I have Monday's off from work... Seriously considering going to this haha

Thanks for posting it up 180Shauny

Hey Emts thanks for raising this. As you say $140 is bargain basement for a track day with so few entrants and we are promoting hard to make sure we get our 80 entrants. However, as we're private organisers doing this not for profit, if there are less entrants then we may need to raise the price to help cover this. It would be a last resort to raise prices and we aren't going to refuse refunds of a deposit if the cost becomes beyond somebody's budget.

Hope this all makes sense, as I said we're here to organise a day of fun not make money. Any more questions people may have don't hesitate to ask!

[180Shauny]

Longinus you're welcome. Hope to see you there, don't be scared to invite your mates!

[Odium]

80 entrants on a Monday is going to be pushing it I'd say... Good luck

[180Shauny]

Hopefully not if we get every car club in Victoria involved hehe.

[Longinus]

Deposit and entry form submitted! Looking forward to a day of fun

What do I need to attend this track day beyond car and driver?

Helmet?

Mounted Fire extinguisher?

SAUVIC Membership?

Cams licence?

[Downforce]

helmet and fire extinguisher are required + CAMS L2S or AASA license.

SAU Membership or any CAMS affiliated club membership entitles you to apply for a CAMS license

or you can use a AASA license for Winton.

Helmet yes

Fire extinguisher is NOT required - it is however, highly recommended

Club Membership not required

Licence can be bought on the day and is HALF THE COST of a cams licence

As you can see this is a fantastic chance particularly for first timers to have a go at a track as the costs are so low.

robs33 plenty of spots left, look forward to hearing from you.

^ Yes AASA might be half the price, but if someone intends to go to Sandown, Phillip Island and similar then CAMS is the only way to go there and offers better value than AASA.

So just need to know what you want. AASA works fine if you only intend on Winton / Haunted Hills / DECA and other events under the AASA banner.

But final costing says 140 based on 80 entries. (140 is an excellent price for a times day at winton BTW)

$140 for Winton midweek /w 80 cars is expensive! You walk away with almost $4,000 in your back pocket.

They could afford to have 55 cars rock up and not lose money given Winton only costs $7500 to hire on a weekday ($6,000 for the track, $1500 for timing/recovery).

Nismoid, mind if I ask when you last booked Winton? Track is costing us $10k, let me reiterate we are not doing this for profit we're just a couple of enthusiasts wanting to get people together.

Hopefully if this day goes well the next day we do will be PI and IF there is extra cash we will put it towards subsidising that.

[R31Nismoid]

4.30pm Today I enquired.

Winton doesn't cost 10k on a Monday, it never has, so I double checked there hadn't need a near doubling from 2012 hire costs.

[Downforce]

Oh snap.

What kind of half arse track day doesn't require entrants to have a minimum 1kg fire extinguisher??

[180Shauny]

Did you price in bikes (and the air curtain) and all the insurance bits? The track has been booked by my friend so I can't comment directly Nismoid as I don't know the exact figures but overwhelming feedback on this and other forums is that the price is very good.

There are other costs than the track too such as getting two fourbies with car trailers up there to try and prevent people getting stranded and as stated any money left over will be put towards the next day.

GTTR34, this is the minimum requirement of Winton and AASA. When it comes to safety on the track I am happy to defer to their experience of their own track in setting out the minimum guidelines. It is mentioned in several places that an extinguisher is HIGHLY recommended as it literally is you or your car that is going to burn.

[355GTS]

I am coming definitely. will submit app and pay fee very soon. Hope its still on!!!

How many numbers have you got enrolled so far Shaun?

[180Shauny]

Hey Evan, terrific to hear look forward to receiving your application.

Good question to ask, interest is high, verbal confirmations are high, entry forms received is LOW. If you are coming please get those forms in to ensure the day does go ahead.

We have tweaked the event:
