EOI - Street Sprint Series

[AusScare]

Looking forward to this! My reverse gear decided not to work today at one point, so thought I might not be able to get there car out there

But I've changed the oil and coolant, have a full tank and the car seems pretty tight, so hoping everything goes to plan. 7am at Lakeside ftw

Jeez you are keen, will be interesting to see how it goes without the worries of other traffic and speed limits.
There should be enough people to give you a push if you need to reverse the car.

I will be there from 7:15 for happy laps.

You can get them on the day. Either a daily, or a yearly license. Go yearly, it's only a little bit more.

I don't believe the training session requires an AASA licence as they said not to worry about filling it out on the booking if you didn't have one.

It may be included in the price of the event or just not needed.

[domlebo70]

Should be fine. The people who run QR are very casual about these things (not so casual about safety obviously). As long as you can drive, I imagine it will be fine.

Okay, apprently all the spots in the sprint series have been filled up so they can't take any more bookings.
I have sent a pm to those who did not provide their full name in their message to say they had booked as i need this information by this afternoon to let Lakeside know so they can organise the training for us.

Please respond to the pm if you got it (if not, i already have your name)

Be aware that this starts at 10am on the dot and we go straight into a theory lesson for 45 minutes.

[syhm1984]

$100


No PPE required. Just same old long pants and long sleeved shirt with closed in shoes

[team_v]

Okay, just checked through my old emails and no where did they state that it was $99 on top of the cost for the sprint session + AASA license so we are in the right for that one.



This is the correspondence trail

Hi Clay,

Just write on the form that you want it included and add the price of $99.00 p/p into the total.
Any problems call the QR Office on 5461 9100 and ask for Neil who is our event secretary.

Hi Doug.
I have found the booking form however there is no space to enter the "driver training" description so that we are not charged the full sprint session fees.

Where would you like us to provide that information?
Kind regards,
Clay

So i would like to say sorry to those who went to the effort today to show up and try to do the training session.
It is a shame that there was such a miscommunication from QR's end that we had to pay extra.

Will look into what options we have available to us for a more involved motorsport type event.

[domlebo70]

Sorry for no show guys. My cars fuel pump decided it wanted to break in the pitlane after happy laps with a friend. 99 dollars later and a towtruck, she rests at the mechanic.

[nat225]

at least we received some theory lesson for free :p

still, thanks to Clay for the time n effort

some of us went to go karting to release some of the urges and all i could say, DRIFTING SIDEWAYS IN GO KART IS FUN!

[JimmyC379]

All good Clay thanks for the effort! My car was broken anyway so would not have been able to do it anyway. I will do the Sprints in future but not with Doug.
