Wakefield Track Day 2011 - 26/8/11

[swingn]

Has anyone run a transporter? I wish I had a vw car as well as the van.... Maybe one day!
In fact next year once I have a tow pack installed maybe I could offer my services as a tow and service vehicle in trade for some laps in a golf.

You don't need a VW to attend mate.

A mate of mine was going to track his Transporter last year, but work got in the way... I reckon it would've been quite a site

[swingn]

you get a carport to yourself and that's about it...have to bring all your own supplies.

there is a crappy kiosk and they have fuel on site.

what facilities does winton have?...

Unless you're out with the Porsche guys, no track day is any different in regards to facilities available.

The Shop will be open to buy lunch etc & yes you will have a car bay (Or bays since we don't have huge numbers) available to store all your gear etc.

Other then that, you can buy race fuel from the track but I do not know of anyone who has ever done that due to the uber high costs (Approx $3.00 p/L). There is a Mobil servo which most people use, but would strongly suggest bringing a jerry can or 2 along to save the mucking around. They also have air facilities to top up your tyres as well... Basically the essentials

[swingn]

Looks like we're all filled up ladies & gents!

If you are still keen to come along, please do get in contact with me as we may have a few drop outs as the date draws closer.

Will be confirming final costs for the day shortly (Once all deposits have come in) & we'll go from there.

Hi All

In regards to accommodation, if you are planning on staying down there, I would suggest booking ASAP. The Police Passing Out Parade is on the same day as the Track Day & subsiquently there aren't many options for accomodation left

PS - There will be a group of us going to dinner after the track day, so if your keen to come along, please let me know so I can book everything up appropriately.

Generally, there's a group of us who stay at the Best Western in their large rooms (Sleeps 5 per room) which generally works out to be approx $50-$60 per person.

Which one centretown or a trappers motor inn??

[swingn]

^^^

Centretown.

When I called up the other day, they still had a handful of rooms available

[bfeboi]

Money has been sent. Slowly counting down the days.....

Cheers mate! Will keep my eyes out for it.

We all are Heaps of the Suby guys are getting more mods fitted just for the track day

[kaanage]

Silly them - they should use the track day to find out WHAT needs modding.

Hoyhoy.

Folks looking for accomodation, don't overlook the track set-up, its great & very social with a giant lounge-combined kitchen (ex Homebush Bay), then there are six double bedrooms with individual keys & three seperate bathrooms with showers.
We use to stay in town until last time & now we will be staying @ the track all the time in future, we had two cars & drivers plus seven visitors, it was a great time had by all. Volenteers went to town to get din-din (big feed of KFC done the trick)(plus our own grog).
We were able to keep the keys until late on the track day itself (sunday), so the women spent most of the time at the cabin with a great view & their own coffee supply.
The Son & myself walked down the track to the cars that were locked in a shed ready to go for the day (extra cost).

In in shorter words I highly recommend the track for a bed.
$60.00 per head.

Hoyhoy.

One thing I have to say is if anyone loses their keys or female partner, DON'T blame me O.K.
