The next Winton Fun Day is scheduled for Sunday December 17th 2006.

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.

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.

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

Also we will be less tolerant of people who breach the rules this time, due to some lard-heads last time - sorry everyone!

Hey All,

Ive been to this twice in my old R31 and it is so worth it. Always watch your mirrors though as I was nearly rear ended once by someone that didnt slow down for the yellow flag.

Still deciding whether to take the GTR or not this time, my pass list would definately skyrocket though :D

Cheers!

do these "fun" days happen often? Im keen to try out my car, but I dont think its ready yet (coolant is going somewhere, have to sort that out and other problems).

Is there one at sandown happening soon?

Winton run 3 Fun Days per year, the next one is in January 2007 (check the Winton website for the exact date)

Sandown don't run these sort of days, in fact I am very sure that Winton is the only race track who does this.

One thing i dont' understand is why WINTON run pratice day on a FRIDAY? Why not weekend but on a working day?

Probably because weekends are booked for club days, etc
Absolutely spot on Al, Winton's weekends are booked almost 12 months in advance, they have race meetings, v8's, drifts, club days etc,etc, ets. The intent of the practice days was to give the weekends competitors exta time on the track, but Winton being who they are have opened the days up to the general public, but still people complain. Tell me where else, or what other race tracks do this!
Winton is definitely not open to the public on Friday nights, but it is open to the public most Fridays.

oh - my bad. Must have mistaken it when I read the stuff on one of the websites. Most Fridays during the day right?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
