Sprint @ Wakefield Sunday - New Date Tbc

[Michele]

Timespan is going to let me know the dates - I will put the forms up here when I know.

I'm thinking about putting a challenge out to the Supra Club as well, that should be fun.

So start planning

$80

Certificate to place winners. Two cars on the track at a time at released intervals, lap finishes just before pit entry (they have taken out the straight). A very well organised event and professionally timed.

It will be a fun day.

This is where I understand the track will run...

Michelle!

Cheers for posting!!

wow - sounds like a great day but as Tim said, a few of us are at the Mountain that weekend for the supersprint/hillclimb!

How often does this event run?

Would be keen next year for sure!

Its usually a Sunday. If we give you enough warning can you negotiate the time off?

[evil_weevil]

worth a try

[SAM916]

i'd be interested if its sometime in early jan....

[mazman]

I just seen this thread...

why was it cancelled, not enough interest?

Is it possible to post a link on the supraforums when a event like this(or any other) is available? (in the cruise section).

I dont come in here often enough, and just like today, i havent seen this thread until now, so it would of been late anyway... but otherwise i would of been keen.

[Michele]

Ohh nooo

It seems there may be new rules with the new track owners... not making it viable to hold future events at Wakefield *sob* - I wonder where this leaves us holding SAU Track Days at Wakie in future? I was soooo looking forward to this event.

---------------------------------------

Folks

Following a brief discussion with Wakefield Park management today, I have to report that in view of the operating rules recently handed down by the new track owners, it is no longer viable for me to organize events there. Track hire charges are now prohibitive, the rules on event cancellation untenable & the apparent demise of karting events would appear to rule out any further 'standard' hillclimbs. Clearly, only 'big money' events will run at Wakefield Park in the future. Fortunately for the rest of us, Fairbairn Park (hillclimb) on Sutton Road in Canberra continues to be good value-for-money & as such, is worth the support of club motorsport folks. There are several other club level venues/events in our area equally worthy of your support.

I would like to thank you for participation in Timespan@Wakefield events over the past few years & wish you all a safe & pleasant Christmas & a great 2008.

Cheers......

Dave

SAU Canberra together with 5th Gear Motorsport were investigating holding a Supra vs Skyline Track Day @ Wakefield. I'm not sure where we stand now, but if it proceeds I will rally things up here and let everyone know.

*still sobbing*

[evil_weevil]

Michelle - I know we are looking at a day next year for a track day - I have also eailed them last few weeks and haven;t heard. Lets hope we can still book. We will keep you all updated.

But that really sucks

will the autosprts day still happen corinne?

[D_I_F]

will the autosprts day still happen corinne?

I'm pretty sure it will because the new management are the people that are resurfacing the track so they have given us that new date.

[Bullet32]

So does this mean that there will be no more "no speed limit" days at Wakefield?

They are still happening by the looks of it, but I'm not sure if its the same 'Wakie' licence.

[N1GTR]

Make it a date 2 months down the track on one of the no speed limit days, and just pack the place full

Btw id be in FOR SURE if my motor is run in by then

Id love to race against supras

[Michele]

ACT is in the process of organising a Skyline vs Supra day which may extend to other clubs to make up the numbers.

clicky clicky for Skyline vs Supra thread

We are looking for approx 40 cars to break even on costs. We're looking for some interesting fun prize/trophy/certifcate ideas to make it interesting... see the ACT thread for more details.

I'll keep you posted once we know what is happening.
