Sprint Day - 2/02/14

[t5iv]

Event:
Super Sprints at Queensland Raceway

Description:
This is a super sprint day and our first of several for 2014. You will get 3 sessions of 5-6 timed hot laps around QR.

This is a full track day.

There will be practice laps from 9:30 am through 12:00 pm.

We will then have a break for lunch.

At 12:30, we will be briefed and then onto the track for our laps.

After the success of our last track day I'm expecting this one to be just as entertaining.

Location:
Queensland Raceway

Date:
Sunday 2nd February 2014

Time:
Be there by 8:45am for a 9:30am start.

Cost:

$150 for members
$175 for non-members

You will need a timing chip which can be either bought from QR or rented for the day. They cost $80 to purchase and can be used at any timed event held by QR. You can rent them for $20 for the day with a $60 deposit which will be returned to you at the end of the day.

This has been ridiculously well priced. When you consider that the open sprints alone are $175. You're getting a 3 hour practice + 3 sprint sessions for $25 less. Bargain!


There are only 20 spots available.

From today until the 11th of January, we will be releasing the event to members only on a first in best dressed basis, after this date, we will open the remaining spots to anyone. If you reserve a spot but haven't paid and submitted your entry form by the 21st of January your spot is fair game.

So if you want to guarantee a spot get in quick.

If all 20 spots are taken we will start a reserve list of people to take anyone's place if they have to pull out for any reason.

This will be a great way to get some practice under your belt before the QLD v NSW State of Origin Track Day.

[Captain Natro]

Nooooo put in some 90/10s and drag radials and come straight line racing with me... Corners are the enemy, I thought we were friends!!!

[SCR48]

You're right, I hate corners lol

[Cadmoon]

Do it Scott, QR is just 4 drag strips with corners. Just think of it as a stupid long happy laps with timing.

[t5iv]

It's QR. You will be fine!

My 26 year old sh*tbox can survive it... you're not going to tell me an R35 can't handle the same punishment as a humble old R31 are you?
