  • NSW Wakefield Park Track Day 14/08/09

    Hi All

    Update 6/07/09

    The track day on the 14th August is fast approaching! Let me say, all the people I have spoken to who are attending this day are extremely excited

    Pretty much everyone has paid now, which has made the organization process almost a pleasure to deal with

    As we now have 20+ people confirmed, the ambulance will now be required. I have already organized this through Wakefield Park Although it does come at an extra cost, I personally feel more comfortable knowing we will have a medical professional on site just incase.

    The driving instructor has now been booked as well. His name is Len & you all know him as he is somewhat of a VW forum regular Costs for this service will be divided equally between the people interested. My best guess at this stage is it will be approx $35.00 per person.

    Sadly, there has been very little interest in timing & I think we may have passed the booking date also. To justify the costs of timing ($585.00) we would need all those attending to be interested. I’m sure one of the on lookers will be able to provide some form of timing on the day so we can gauge our improvement

    As we now have confirmed numbers of 20+ & everything is booked & ready to roll, I am please to announce that the track fees are down significantly down from the $294.00 which has been paid. The final cost is $230.00 + Wakefield License & Instructor (If either are required) I endeavor to refund the difference on the day.

    If you are free on the day, I would encourage you to attend. It’s a great way to improve your driving ability & give your car the berries in a safe & legal fashion… But if you don’t want to drive, one & all are more then welcome to come & give moral support to the drivers. Just make sure you all spend a few bucks at the café (Which will be available to us throughout the day) to keep Wakefield nice & happy

    Below is the updated master list of those who are attending &/or have expressed interest in attending. I have also indicated who will be taking advantage of the driving instructor:

      Be aware that if you run timing, WPR will also require you to have their ambulance and paramedic in attendance. Adds quite a bit, IIRC.

          The prices mat quoted inc an ambulance. WPR only required ambulance/paramedic with more than 20 people and in total is only $550 for the day. $550 / 20 = $27.50 each and obviously the more people the cheaper it is.

          Remember this will be a private track day so if we get 20 peeps that's all that will be there and we'll all get plenty of track time
          Cheers,

            Com'mon guys!?!

            Surely there are some track keen VW drivers out there?

            It's 3 months away, so plenty of time to get time off work & perhaps do a few more mods

              Good luck with it mate, hope it all goes well.
              We are having enough trouble getting many of the locals up there to enter the Nationals supersprint day in a fortnights time... And that is dedicated to VWs as well...

                Hi All

                Thanks to all those that have paid their deposits Without a doubt, it's because of you guys that this track day will be happening

                The deposit will be paid to Wakefield tomorrow morning

                At this stage, I have removed anyone from the master list that was "TBC".

                Just a bit of extra info for everyone... Spoke to Wakefield this morning to clear up a few things... If we choose to cancel the track day, it will have to be done by / before June 15th... Otherwise full charges for the track still stand.

                As this is the case, I will need to collect the funds (Bar Wakefield license cost) from the confirmed people by the above date - June 15th.

                As there is no real numbers limit etc, anyone who does wish to come along may still do so - The more the merrier after all ... So if you free & keen, please don't be affraid to come along & have some fun

                As this will make it cheaper for everyone involved I will ensure any extra money paid will be refunded.

                As is stands, pricing based on 14 people is as follows (Please see one of my previous posts for a numbers price list / guide):

                $315 + Wakefield License ($50)

                Optionals (For those that are interested):

                Timing = $585 (Total cost)

                Instructor = $350 (Total cost) (Len aka MACCAA)

                Looking forward to the track day & fingers crossed we get a few more drivers keen to come along closer to the date

                Cheers
                Matt

                  Cheers mate!

                  We'll I'm hoping we'll get a few more drivers so the day becomes a little bit cheaper for all involved

                  At this stage we are going to get heaps of track time each so it will be an awesome day no matter which way you cut it

                      Bump

                      So far have 14 people confirmed & there should be another handful that will confirm a little closer to the date.

                          What's Wakefield park like for spectators (and is there any additional cost for having my wife and child along to watch)?
                          Nothing to see here...

                              Wakefield is probably the best track in NSW for spectators.No cost,and a good Cafe as well.
