TRACKED volume 1
Eastern Creek Track Day 2012

We are running a PRIVATE track day on Wednesday the 2nd of May 2012 at Eastern Creek raceway.



Arrive: 8am for 8.30am driver briefing
Track: from 9am - 1pm, 6 groups, 20 minutes per run.

GROUP 1: Beginner

The beginner group are for those whom have never tracked their cars before and/or do not want to track their cars competitively. Group 1 will have plenty of training with professional drivers for much of the event.

GROUP 2: Intermediate/Advanced

This group are for those whom have tracked before or are highly competitive.

All cars can be run, only stipulation is all cars must have a passenger seat and all drivers must have all skin covered (hands optional) and must wear a helmet at all times on the track. If you don't have a helmet, you can hire one. (Currently $20)

GROUPS 3, 4, 5: Open

You can nominate yourself to drive in this group on the track. Anybody can run in these groups and it is just for fun!

GROUP 6: Competitive driving

The final group of the day will be run in a more competitive manner. You can nominate yourself to run in this group on the day.

Food is available from the cafe, there are no BBQ facilities.

Spectators are welcome, passengers are not.

We have access to use PIT facilities.

Eastern Creek are not allowed to provide timing, so we will do our own timing and attempt to be as accurate as possible, but please understand it is really only an approximation and may not be accurate.

Overtaking is allowed on the straight only, so very low risk of damage to our cars caused by other drivers!

$350 + free t-shirt if paid and registered by 12th April 2012

This is a great opportunity to track our cars on a world class race track!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Can the same car be shared by multiple drivers?
A. Yes, but each driver must be registered seperately. Please also bare in mind that tracking a car takes a very big toll on the car and causes massive heat soak. Unless you have an uprated intercooler, you car is unlikely to last more than 3 runs in a row.

Q. Do spectators need to pay?
A. No

Q. Do I need roll bars?
A. No

Q. Do I need a racing, EC or CAMS license?
A. No, as I'm running this as an entirely private event, only proof of current drivers license essential

Q. Can we share helmets?
A. Gross and yes

Q. I can't make it on the day but paid in full?
A. Sorry, but you lost your money. If you can find a replacement driver within 24 hours, we can change your name to theirs ($50 transfer fee)

Q. Can 1 or more friends participate?
A. Yes, but please ask yourself if they would fit in well with the crew. ie; Douche level maximum of about a 6 out of 10.

Make more bets with Allen :P

[Stuart@BMRAutowerkes]

Oooh so tempting!

Private day at EC would be awesome!!

Def need to figure out some sort of timing though, assuming it's done in groups, everyone should bring a stopwatch, buddy up with someone not in your group and time & record each other.

totally agree, timing will be essential as a group overall.

I might bring a vbox or gtech so i can properly log etc and analyse when i get home, but this is obviously not a solution to individual times as a group.

[Drawn05]

I'm in for this.

[Jexus]

This is so tempting for me too, but I'd have to miss 2 tuts for uni.. hmm

[Stuart@BMRAutowerkes]
