Weather forecast for Sunday is:

Local early fog then fine. Mainly sunny. Min 8 Max 19 w00t!

And because Philip Island and AutoSalon is on this weekend... hopefully there wont be too many cars... I called Winton and they said there's a limit of 40 cars they can permit on the track at any time... so be prepared for over-taking the slower cars!

See you there!

Who's interested in driving up for the day?

Really interested, entry fees is so tempting but for the fire resistant clothing is a bit too far to reach???

It just means a long sleeve jumper and pants/trousers. Head to toe and shoulder to wrist covered. That's it!

So how does the day work???

Are you split into groups according to your driving skills etc???

[Snowman]

Not at all. A few of us went to the last one and how it works is that they splt the session into driver only - followed by a session with passengers (you must have a passenger to get on the track)

Basically they let about 50-60 cars on the track at once - as people come off they let more on until the end of the 30min session. There are cars EVERYWHERE - so its kinda fun as you just spend all lap passing people! haha.

The point of the day is more aimed towards either giving people who have never been on the track before a simple and cheap oportunity and also to give regulars a chance to take their families on the track.

Dispite the number of cars I had a ball there last time. It was a different track experience but still a lot of fun.

its also open every friday like has been done before with sau guys - less congestion

[INASNT]

ahh i gotta drive upto falls creek on monday morning, so cant really be ***ed driving all that way again on the weekend.

Also isent autosalon on this weekend?

[slayer_1971]

Sweet....I'll probably go up...

Don't like the idea of having 50+ cars on the track though as i'd be nervous of hitting someone

might head up early and get there at opening time (8:30).....

Hi Guys!

I am REALLY interested in this type of event - any need for the fire extinguiser etc?

Put me down anyway - I will bring a mate along (He has a supra)... but this is for Lines only!!!

Rob, this is a winton "open day", it is not organised by SAU, there will be all types of cars there.

My car has a couple of small/minor issues and is due for a service, so i will be heading to Phillip Island, to spectate and get pissed .

Good Luck and have fun, i wish i could come.

[Al]

PS: no need for a fire extinguiser, etc.

All you need is:

- Helmet

- LONG SLEEVE cotton shirt/t-shirt

- Jeans

- Runners/sneekers/shoes (no thongs, slippers, etc.)

- Current/valid drivers licence

- Roadworthy car

This would be a good round to go to as it has been organised at short notice due to the cancellation of the super truck round, so numbers will probably be low. I would have said closer to 30 cars on the track at once.

In the mail out I got it looks like there will be sessions for bikes as well.

Will probably be there but the car might be staying at home due to lack of webber jets.

[KamikazeR33]

there would be more than 30 cars on there

i know of at least 30 from here that go to just bout every open day they have on sundays

To get to winton get on the hume highway and head towards albury. After about 2 hours you will see an exit sign with winton raceway written on it, take that and ur there.
