Victorian Track Day

[SubJimbo]

I really dont mind where, But Im there!

Somewhere where a first timer will go alright.. :(

I suggest winton or sandown. The former requiring a drive to get there, but its the safest facility (least risk of sudden deceleration trauma - I.e hitting a wall).

Sandowns good, you can get mashed at the Irish next door. After the racing that is....

I'm up for any track really, but phillip island would be the best!!

Starting to get some information back from the tracks. But I need more info from you guys.

How much does everyone went to spend for the track day, and what day is more suited to everyone, Sunday or Saturday?

[Full Monty]

Firstly, everyone needs to factor in the cost of getting a CAMS 2S license which is currently $95

the XR/FPV club of victoria track days cost around $100, so somewhere around that price would be a good starting point, but of course it would depend on numbers.

I hadn't been down to Philip Island for about 10 years so we went down for a couple of days this week. I failed at getting on the track so I did the go kart track instead lol (first and best time of 48.89 sec)

I walked around it though and it's a brilliant outlook and it looks like the track would be a bit of fun, so I'm glad it's winning the votes

It seems to be a big task to get this off the ground. But it’s also not cheap. To have a track to our self’s its going to cost around $6000 to hire the track, so we'll need at least 30-40 entrees to make it worthwhile.

So before I go wasting any more of my time and the tracks time, are we going to get this many people in Victoria to come? We have had a total of 22 Votes, so its not looking too good.

Also, I will find out if we can all get out for an open practice day. This way will don’t have to worry about hiring the track?

[R-SPEC]

Sounds good to me. I know the driver dynamics days at Sandown are around $180, however that's for anyone to turn up. I think the open day is the only way it's going to happen...
