Winton Fun Day 28th Jan

[coln72]

I will not be able to make this (stupid seized brakes :hmm: ) but it seems like a good day.

 

 

 

The next Winton Fun Day is scheduled for Sunday January 28th 2007.

 

The usual format applies:

 

Cost:

Is $25 per driver and $25 per passenger

 

Programme:

Normally be there by 8.00 for scrutineering, but this can take some time.

Drivers Briefing at around 9.00 - 9.30

Driver only on track for 30 minutes sighting laps, then

Driver with passenger for 30 minutes, then

Driver only on track for 30 minutes, then

Driver with passenger for 30 minutes, then

Driver only on track for 30 minutes, and so on all day until about 4.30

 

Requirements:

Bring your car, an Australian Standard Approved helmet, the helmet can be either open or closed face, fire proof clothes that cover you from neck to ankle to wrist (cotton or wool clothes are good). Runners are not the preferred footwear, Blundstones boots (or similar) or any leather type shoe is preferable

 

Make sure your car has no oil/coolant leaks, fitted seat belts, battery is secure, wheels nuts are tights, no loose items in the car or boot, if possible tow bar should be removed and no bull bars.

 

The Car does not have to be registered, but has to road/race worthy. There are normally no checks done of lights except for brake lights except if it is an overcast, rainy day, then there may be checks for lights as well as wipers. Tyres have to have no metal showing through, so it doesn't matter if they are a little bald (unless it rains for your safety though)

 

And very importantly, bring a smart, alert attitude, coz there is some very fast cars out there, whilst it is not a race meeting, some people bring race cars and the onus is on them to behave appropriately around first timers.

 

Food and drinks are available through a canteen

Shouldnt need a cams licence for the Fun Days? Cam (MRMOPARMAN) went to the last one so he can shed light on this.

 

I am planning to head to one sometime this year in my twinky with Cam and his race car, this ones out for me as the ocean rd run will be on.

 

Cheers for the heads up though Colin
