Ok here's an update:

** UPDATE **

Entry fee is $20

NO CAMS license is required to enter.

Open sign-in and safety checks start 09:00

On the track by 10:00

The day will consist of 30 minute sessions alternating between drivers only, and driver + passenger sessions (you must have a passenger)

Day will finish up by 17:00... the last session is at 16:30

You Need:

- Roadworthy vehicle, drivers license

- Approved Helmet

- Long sleeve top and pants

For anyone interested in driving up to Winton in a group, meet at the macca's just before the start of the Hume Hwy at 07:00.

Weather forecast for Sunday is:

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Yeah baby, you can tell I haven't done THIS before!

:Oops:

this is interesting... what time will it start? and how do i get to winston? i actually plan to watch HSV trackday @ PI but might put this into consideration.

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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
