MCM FUN DAY #4
Ladies and Gents.
Ever wanted to drive your own car around a track the V8 Supercars race on? Well here is your chance!
Come along and experience a Fun Day at Winton Raceway! Our Fun Days give you the chance to drive your own vehicle around the ‘Nation’s Action Track’ for a small fee of just $35 for the day per participant (whether you are a driver or passenger). One of the highlights for the day is allowing drivers to take passengers out on the track, making it an awesome experience to share with your family and friends.
Cars will be safety checked for road worthy/race worthy condition, so make sure there are no loose objects inside your car or boot, no oil or fuel leaks, and an effective muffler (must not exceed 95dB 30m from the side of the track). All participants must have a helmet and be wearing a long sleeve shirt and pants (flame retardant material).
The Fun Day is for cars only and will be structured with sessions for ‘drivers only’ and sessions for ‘drivers and passengers’. A compulsory drivers briefing will be conducted in the morning at approx. 9.30am.
So come along to the next Fun Day and take advantage of this opportunity to share your passion of motorsport with other enthusiasts!
It is Free for those who wish to just watch from the side of the track and meet a heap of the members

When will it be held:Sunday the 19th of January
Where will this be held?Winton raceway
Time track opens:8:00 AM
This Sunday, the 19th of Jan, is the twice yearly opportunity to drive your car at Winton on the track for a whole $35! All you need is a ADR approved motorcycle helmet and a safe enough car (you will be scruitenered).
FYI about the event -
Officially: It is a 'fun-day' not a full-on track day so the restriction is that you can only drive at "80% of your or your car's ability" - basically this means; don't spin out. If they perceive you to be driving too fast/unsafely (or your car is depositing fluids on the track) then you will get black-flagged the first time and banned from the track the second time.
There is no restriction on the cars that can enter the track, so you can get some really slow & fast cars on the same track, and there are plenty of new drivers who can be very unpredictable. Take it easy in the first few hours.
Unofficially: They are very strict during the first few hours, but once the day progresses the marshalls get very lenient. Last year in July, by around 1pm, after most of the noobs were gone, there were people drifting and they were not told off! I was fanging my car full pelt with the wheels spinning wildy and the back wagging and I never got told off either. Just be responsible.
There is a pre-meet happening with the Victorian division of Mighty Car Mods club at 5am in the morning.
Location: BP servo at 1 Scanlon Drive, Epping, Victoria 3076 - just before the hume highway
Departure: 5:30AM SHARP
If you're interested in coming along with the MCMM group then please let me know so I can let them know to expect you. Just PM me your name & car. We usually hang out together and do a gold coin donation BBQ with drinks. Nice day out.
Thanks!

(P.S. The local cops know about this event and usually are around the area and on the roads - especially around the Winton township. Every time I've seen speed cameras and piggies hiding the bushes waiting to breatho, speed check and defect. Don't be a ****head, especially if you're cruising up with the MCM crew. We've had a spate of poor behaviour and we're getting fed up. Someone is likely to be soon made an example of and reported to the police.)
