Sau Nsw Wakefield Track Day

[Abo Bob]

We are running this as a driver training day, meaning that passengers are allowed all day. This will be good for people needing some instruction. You can have an experienced person in the passenger seat giving you some tips then you can go out in their car as passenger to see what they do.

I want a big showing for this. If you only go to one track day this year, make it this one. It's going to be a big social event with great fun racing as well. I want all you newbies out there taking advantage of the instruction available because you don't get opportunities like this anymore. When I started doing track days about 4 years ago, passengers were allowed most of the time, now it's rare.

With this in mind we have secured some insurance that basically lets us do what we want.

The other people that I really want there are the club elders, the guys with heaps of experience and fast cars. We need you guys to be our instructors. We are limiting the numbers of entrants as per last year so that everyone gets heaps of track time.

No doubt there will be a bunch of people going down the night before for some cheap accommodation and frivolity. We will have a separate accommodation thread. Edit - here it is.

Please read this and follow the instructions!

Entry will be $160 per car for SAU club members and $180 for non members. Cars can be double entered but needs double payment. You can enter two cars for one driver but we reserve the right to charge extra for this depending on the take up.

You need either a CAMS L2S licence or a Wakefield/AASA Licence. The CAMS one costs $88 a year and is used on most tracks around the country for a number of different kind of events (particularly the L2S open days that a number of us go to quite regularly) and must be purchased before the event. You need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated club, like SAU, to get one of these too. The Wakefield licence costs $50 a year and is available on the day from the track.

You will also nee a helmet, long pants and long sleeve shirt.

Refunds will be given up to 3 weeks before the event or, if after this date, when someone else takes your spot. We will be keeping a reserve list as I expect this event to sell out.

WE ARE NOW FULL!

To be on the reserve list please pm me.

Gates open officially at 8am although they usually appear to be open by about 7:30.

Sign on from 8am.

Scruitineering at the scruitineering shed from 8am until 8:40.

Drivers briefing and full track walk around at 8:40am - ALL DRIVERS MUST ATTEND.

First session which will be noobs 9am.

Remember there are a lot of people to get signed on so can I suggest that noobs get there as early as possible, sign on before doing anything else then get your car ready and scruitineered. Scruitineering will stop at 8:40 for the drivers briefing and start again for the stragglers at 9.

The scruitineering will be done at the shed behind the garages. Two lines, noobs to the left, the rest to the right. Bring your helmet and what you will be wearing on the track as all this needs to pass scruitineering too.

No official timing - Can't do the passenger laps with timing which would defeat the purpose of the "driver training" day. There are always people on the wall with phones/stop watches etc.. so shouldnt be to hard to organise some thing un-official for ppl (I am pretty sure this was the reason - some one please correct me if I am wrong)

If Autosalon falls through i'll come down as a shooter.

Yeah thats the reason from what I know too.. But sometimes they have passenger sessions, and then timed sessions alternating.. I think it might have been the autosports day which they did that...

Either way, its about having fun rather than just beating liz's lap time!

[NISMO]

Woo hoo,

Definately in, definately paid, definately e-mailed

not that i'm excited though

Does anyone know if Wakie have relaxed the no standing on the pit wall rule? I was down there with autosports a little while back and they were quite strict on this.

Cheers

Yep your correct!

No Official lap timing on the day..

You will have to ask a spectator/friends to help you guys out with times which wont be a problem

[JAS-25T]

There are some really cheap lap timers here for those who track day regularly
