Here is a description of the day I'm planning for my XU1.
Two laps, brakes smoking, better give them a rest.
Wait 1/2 hour.

I've always thought it would be nice to get a group to go to a Fun-Day at Winton but on the occasions I've been, we have only had 2 or 3 cars there which doesn't really make it a Torana event - just like going with a couple of mates. I'm sure we could organize something with a club that is also going or something? There was that Bucks Party at Winton that was planned for a while ago for example. Not sure if that went ahead but I don't think people needed a CAMS liscence for that.

I would love to drive the track at Winton it looks challenging but from here for a fun day its just too far and thus would end up costly.

It might be easier to try and get people to a Winton Fun day, rather than book a track out. It will be cheaper too...

This is getting off topic I know but its money related and partly addresses your statement John.plenty of time to plan it allan just put aside a few dollars here and there and befor you know it the money will be there to take the beast
ok i think most people want to go to winton so why dont we start planning this any ideas on a month to go??
Gary (Southern Branch) is planning another Tassie tour for October? 2009 I will be saving for that and that will affect what I spend between now and then. It's one to watch out for but its not exactly cheap. Gary has made the accommodation deals and has some good prices for us. Gary has yet to release the full details as far as I know.
Anyway I would like to drive Winton so we will see what we can manage.
Cheers

when you pays your money at Wakefield it includes a basic CAMS licence I believe which lasts 12 months.
Its a Wakefield Park specific 'Clubcomp Licence', nothing to do with CAMS. I have one from some track days I've done there. $50.00 for 12 months.
FWIK there are two NSW based Torana/XU1 clubs already planning a day out there in May.

The $25 is your entry fee to get on the track.Steve, what does the $25 cover?
Obviously not the fuel.

It is pinned in the Circuit racing section and contains information about Winton Practise days and Fun days.
Maybe if we get enough people we could go to a practise day?

Would it be worth it? Would i be likely to seer it into a fence or something stupid considering that i LIKE driving hard?
Would i look like a tool taking it easy if the brakes etc decide to give up the ghost?
It's something i'd be interested in but i dont really know the risks!
And i'd prefer something like wakefield i think... i couldnt make victoria and i think eastern creek would be a bit exxy! But yeah i'm interested!

I'm sure by now you are capable of not driving (too far) beyond your ability!
