Hello All,

This event was orginally posted on the Stagea subforum but I thought now that the awesome Nissans are invited I should extend the invite to the rest :yucky:

As the title says date is Monday 25th of February and we are going to have timing on the day as an extra incentive. Winton also accept AASA licenses as well as the normal CAMS ones. This is going to represent a cash saving of about $50 for anyone who doesn't already have a license.

At this stage we're looking for a deposit of $50 to secure your spot.

All entrants/passengers will enter entirely at their own risk, vehicles will be subject to scrutineering prior to being allowed on the track.

All car types welcome provided they are safe. There will be a group for bikes too.

Please follow the link to the MR2 Club website to download the forms. Post up or PM me if you have any queries.

I'm a little confused from the entry.

So it's $50 to secure a spot, seems fine.

But final costing says 140 based on 80 entries. (140 is an excellent price for a times day at winton BTW)

however what happens if there 40 spots does the price jump to 280?

I unfortunately would not be able to attend but looks like a fun day but would mostly likely get more entries if you clarified this?

Hey Emts thanks for raising this. As you say $140 is bargain basement for a track day with so few entrants and we are promoting hard to make sure we get our 80 entrants. However, as we're private organisers doing this not for profit, if there are less entrants then we may need to raise the price to help cover this. It would be a last resort to raise prices and we aren't going to refuse refunds of a deposit if the cost becomes beyond somebody's budget.

Hope this all makes sense, as I said we're here to organise a day of fun not make money. Any more questions people may have don't hesitate to ask!

What do I need to attend this track day beyond car and driver?

Helmet?

Mounted Fire extinguisher?

SAUVIC Membership?

Cams licence?

Helmet yes

Fire extinguisher is NOT required - it is however, highly recommended

Club Membership not required

Licence can be bought on the day and is HALF THE COST of a cams licence

As you can see this is a fantastic chance particularly for first timers to have a go at a track as the costs are so low.

robs33 plenty of spots left, look forward to hearing from you.

^ Yes AASA might be half the price, but if someone intends to go to Sandown, Phillip Island and similar then CAMS is the only way to go there and offers better value than AASA.

So just need to know what you want. AASA works fine if you only intend on Winton / Haunted Hills / DECA and other events under the AASA banner.

But final costing says 140 based on 80 entries. (140 is an excellent price for a times day at winton BTW)

:huh: $140 for Winton midweek /w 80 cars is expensive! You walk away with almost $4,000 in your back pocket.

They could afford to have 55 cars rock up and not lose money given Winton only costs $7500 to hire on a weekday ($6,000 for the track, $1500 for timing/recovery).

Nismoid, mind if I ask when you last booked Winton? Track is costing us $10k, let me reiterate we are not doing this for profit we're just a couple of enthusiasts wanting to get people together.

Hopefully if this day goes well the next day we do will be PI and IF there is extra cash we will put it towards subsidising that.

Did you price in bikes (and the air curtain) and all the insurance bits? The track has been booked by my friend so I can't comment directly Nismoid as I don't know the exact figures but overwhelming feedback on this and other forums is that the price is very good.

There are other costs than the track too such as getting two fourbies with car trailers up there to try and prevent people getting stranded :rolleyes: and as stated any money left over will be put towards the next day.

GTTR34, this is the minimum requirement of Winton and AASA. When it comes to safety on the track I am happy to defer to their experience of their own track in setting out the minimum guidelines. It is mentioned in several places that an extinguisher is HIGHLY recommended as it literally is you or your car that is going to burn.

Hey Evan, terrific to hear look forward to receiving your application.

Good question to ask, interest is high, verbal confirmations are high, entry forms received is LOW. If you are coming please get those forms in to ensure the day does go ahead.

We have tweaked the event:

-Cars only, capped at 70 entries

-Cost locked at $140

There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
