EOI - Short track timed event(s) at Lakeside

[DarkShines]

Definitely keen for this, ralliart extensions or not

That Super 7 vid looks like mad fun.

[Wolfman101]

[nat225]

Hello,

Glad you like the video, it is heavy on blue Lotus porn but then i am allowed that.

The DTC track is great fun, there are a few configurations that be run but our standard takes between 45-55sec (depending on how good you are). It is not a power track, this is all about handling and being able to drive.

Dependent on the deal with QR, it costs $75 each + ASAA licence ($20 for a day). CTP rally extension letter is free.

You need proper timing gear, table, gazebo etc I think we get the timing gear from QR but that would need checked.

Maximum 40 cars, although I prefer 25-30, so you get a few more runs in.

You really need to get a couple of people to be marshals, better if they can do the whole day. Both run the starting PC and timing gear, somebody to line up the cars is also a benefit.

There are plenty of videos of runs on YouTube, search lakeside DTC. You might even find some without a blue exige...

happy to help out with other queries, i have been to enough of them!

Thanks.

Thanks for the info Club Racer. I'm in negotiations with QR regarding costs etc.
They have a lot on at this time of year so I'm waiting for them to get back to me.

It's going to be great to get out on the short track with such quick cars...

[Rohde]

I'm definitely interested...

Hey Anton
I would be up for it too and I think I work just up the road from you if your at Eatons Hill, I guess I could bring my old 911 too? You know just to splash some oil around on the track.

I'm at the E/H age100...and the 911 would definitely be welcome.

Just remember slow in fast out with the 911. Or it's spins'ville.

[Club Racer]

trust me, the DTC track will make you spin. Spin too far and you get wet!!

[prh1973]

How are we going with guys any update...I am keen.

[An7on]

Hi guys...I've been away for work. I have all the pricing from QR. Will post it tonight.

keen.....char

[ramo85v]

Keen for spin at lakeside.

[An7on]

OK...Lakeside charge a flat $2000 for the use of the Short track. This is for a 12:30pm to 4pm slot. An additional $20 per driver needs to be paid for a Queensland Motorsport Clubman License too (if you’ve got one already, no cost)
So 3.5 hrs of driving time = 210 minutes. Make each run an even minute...that means that there is the potential for a maximum of 210 runs.

I was thinking of....25 participants

$2000/25=$80+$20 (for licence) = $100

That gives everyone at least 8 laps.

The group would be broken up into 5 groups of 5. Each group would undertake consecutive runs completing all their allotted laps...this method would limit down time and let everyone get their laps in. Those waiting for their laps can help get the cars staged and ready. Timing equipment is still being negotiated as there are a few options available.

The other option is to reduce the number of participants, this would result in more laps for the group and up the price.

Let your thoughts be known...acceptable?
