Whos Going To Or Been To Winton Fun Day?

[Belsil80]

From my experience it is a great way to get into motorsport, its great to have a decent amout of time out there to get a feel, unlike a sprint day which is usually at most 5 flying laps, just dont cook you car because you have so long out there. keep an eye on all your fluids too. its also great for practicing passing, but can be frustrating being stuck behind cars with 'eleventy' billion hp but cant corner at all... once you have done a fun day or 2, you have to move onto sprint days!

Good words of advice there Belsil80

Sorry guys - and Russ, I'm gonna have to pike on this one.. the brakes aren't in yet still, and the cars in pieces. I've also been rostered on for sunday.

I've busted my hand motorbike riding yesterday and I'll still be there but may not be on the track for long...

I'll see how it goes.

I had a great time today and was surprised that not many of you guys made it.

It was only me, Tom G and R31 Gags plus my mate with his soarer.

I had a great day and was surprised by how well my car went but the tyres sure had a hard time.

So you're all weak considering I had a busted hand and still gave it a go. (The pain dissapeared as I drove)

I have some pics...

me and my mates soarer

This Boswell Nagari was awesome...

Tom G having a go!

R31 Gags (Craig) and this XR5 was pretty quick!

Lot's of bogans in cars like these...

At some stages it was kinda busy...

And me

I had a ball and want to do heaps more track stuff in the future.

[R32Big_boy]

Russ, your car is hawt!!!!!

[R32gts-t]

looks like you had some fun, lol at the "classic australiana vehicles" in those pics...

[tom_g]

I had a great time and passed so many cars. The Bolwell looked cool and sounded great.

Big thanks to Trev for organising the event.

[Big Trev]

A lot of those "bogan" car were speedway cars, one or two were ex aus-cars.

And I am just glad you didn't post a pic of me now that you what I look like - doh!

BTW, do I look like my avatar

I had a great time as well! Best fun ive had in quite a while, and was great to see how my car would hold up to the conditions!

I did see some other lines...not many...i did see the black 32 TVS*** while passing by to get on the track saw the sau stickers. (I was the midnight purple 32 with primer bonnet)

Heres a few pics my mate and I got on my cam, jus to add to what you guys already have...took ages for resize n upload oh well all worth it! Theyre great!

And yes thanks again Bigtrev for making it happen, i will certainly be down for next time and will be looking forward until then.

Enjoy!

Holy Fck thats a lot of cars on the track at the same time... 24 in one photo

[FLYGTR]

24 cars and only half the track!! , did they have traffic lights at the boobs? (hairpins) . Im hoping that the std of driving was acceptable or was their a bit of pass or die going on ?.

Most people kept their distances as the 'i dont want my car run into' mentally was maintained; well by me anyway...most passing was happening on the straights rather than the bends.

Although there was some people who decided it was Race day instead of fun day....

No mishaps anyway, all was good!

[code blue]

Thats me next to the evo

Was a great day. Cant wait till the next one!

[saff_cossie]

Some cool pics there. Sad to see the grass so yellow as I was there for the Dutton in Sept and a couple of times before that and it was much greener.

Looks busy too! I wouldnt mind heading up for one if I thought my tyres would stand up to it.
