Event rescheduled to Sunday 17th May 2015
The 86/BRZ Club have extended an invite to us VWwatercooled members to attend their Lakeside breakfast.
Please be aware that QLD Raceways does monitor the forum and as such, any posts regarding activities that breach the rules of the track/happy laps will be noted by the staff and you may be banned from the events.
Also please provide your Name/Make/Model/Colour of your car when requesting a spot so we can confirm who is out there.
I will then send you the payment details so we can have it all paid up and sorted on time.
Lakeside Park breakfast ($35) which will be payable to the 86/BRZ Club organizer.
The Breakfast starts at 7:15am and we should be out on the track by 8:15am after a safety briefing at 8am.
Please be there by 7:00am.
Rules:
86/BRZ Club have a recommended circuit time of 75 seconds, this is to improve safety by minimising overtaking.
If you are unsure of your time you can review your video footage or any mildly tweaked Mk6 GTI/R or better as a rough guide.
Note: This is not a dedicated track event. People have been warned previously about their driving conduct and, as a result, we have been pulled off early.
No protective gear allowed (i.e. no helmet or race suit). At a minimum, please wear shorts, t-shirt and closed-in shoes with a high grip sole.
No overtaking on corners, only on the straight. If a vehicle slows down and indicates that you overtake on the back section of the track, you may do so at your own discretion, however the responsibility is on the overtaking driver to do it safely. IF IN DOUBT, DO NOT OVERTAKE.
If you are not overtaking anyone on the main straight, please stay to the left of the track and let any driver that is consistently on your tail overtake you. You'll know this if you've been watching your mirrors. To be overtaken safely, maintain your speed and line. Do not brake or accelerate, just hold your line at a reasonable, steady speed to allow the overtaking driver to execute the manoeuvre safely. If you think you are actually quicker on the track, then you should be able to come up to that car again the next time you reach the main straight, and then the roles will be reversed: The original overtaking driver should now let the other car overtake.
All vehicles that enter must be road-worthy and registered.
The organizer of 86/BRZ Club Happy Laps reserves the right to refuse entry to any persons and as such a full refund will be given.
Menu:
Toast
Egg and Capsicum omelette
Crispy bacon
Gourmet chipolatas
Baked beans

Directions for entry:
