So open practice days at Wakefield park. What are the rules? Is it purely just circuit/sprint or can you drift? Just curious as I may be moving to Canberra and I want to look at my drifting options

To quote the site:

Wakefield Park also offers "No Speed Limit" days, where road-registered street cars and bikes can run on the circuit for a small fee. Drivers/Riders can learn how their vehicle can really perform, in order to better understand how to control their vehicle on the road. 

Just bring yourself and your road car/bike, and for just $90 per day you can experience what it's like to Drive/Ride around a race track. Drivers need to wear appropriate attire:

    * Approved road use helmet (also available for hire at track)

    * Neck-to-wrist-to-ankle clothing protection (could be long sleeve shirt and long pants)

    * Closed in shoes (cover ankle to toe)

During the lunch break at every No Speed Limit Day, the V8 Challenge cars are available for Drives or Rides to anyone wanting to experience a Drive or Ride in a V8 Racecar.

    * NO SPEED LIMIT DAYS

          o Drive your own street car $90.00 per day

          o Wakefield Park licence $40.00 (annually)

          o Helmet hire available for $20 per day with a $50 Deposit

    * CAFÉ OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK

*prices subject to change without notice.

That said they can get a little upset (as I do) with people who arent in control of their car when other cars are around. If your by yourself they dont really care what you do as long as your not flicking crap onto the track.

If thats not what you're after, then fatz runs some really good drift days out at Oran Park. This is an example of one of his track days. Drop him a line and ask when the next one is:
