    Exclamation Winton Fun Day - December 17 2006

    The next Winton Fun Day is scheduled for Sunday December 17th 2006.

    The usual format applies:

    Cost:
    Is $25 per driver and $25 per passenger

    Programme:
    Normally be there by 8.00 for scrutineering, but this can take some time.
    Drivers Briefing at around 9.00 - 9.30
    Driver only on track for 30 minutes sighting laps, then
    Driver with passenger for 30 minutes, then
    Driver only on track for 30 minutes, then
    Driver with passenger for 30 minutes, then
    Driver only on track for 30 minutes, and so on all day until about 4.30

    Requirements:
    Bring your car, an Australian Standard Approved helmet, the helmet can be either open or closed face, fire proof clothes that cover you from neck to ankle to wrist (cotton or wool clothes are good). Runners are not the preferred footwear, Blundstones boots (or similar) or any leather type shoe is preferable

    Make sure your car has no oil/coolant leaks, fitted seat belts, battery is secure, wheels nuts are tights, no loose items in the car or boot.

    The Car does not have to be registered, but has to road/race worthy. There are normally no checks done of lights except for brake lights except if it is an overcast, rainy day, then there may be checks for lights as well as wipers.

    And very importantly, bring a smart, alert attitude, coz there is some very fast cars out there, whilst it is not a race meeting, some people bring race cars and the onus is on them to behave appropriately around first timers.

    Food and drinks are available through a canteen

    Also we will be less tolerant of people who breach the rules this time, due to some lard-heads last time - sorry everyone!

    You do not need an extinguisher, but it would be advisable, the race track infield is very very dry.

    And no, you do not need a CAMS licence, this is a "come and try day"

    Don't forget your sunscreen, winton isn't very shadey, at least not anywhere you want to see the track from
