Winton Fun Day - Sunday 16th December 2007

[Slim]

Damn... That sucks because the mini hasn't got functioning wipers. I carry a bottle of Rainex but pretty much just avoid driving in the rain. I hope scruitineering don't check that kind of thing.

hmmm... i'll think about it. I'm keen to give the Cressida a run at Calder on Friday night. If i haven't got rid of all my need for speed after that i'll come to Winton.

Edit: i forgot... what do they do if it's a wet day?

hi slim
if its wet they generally slow the pace down
they wont allow cars out with slicks etc
it is well run , they try to put similarly matched cars out together where possible
anyone caught doing something stupid will be asked to leave the track , it does sound daunting but they run three or four of these a year, and there has been very few incidents in the whole time that they have been conducting the events

A mini will be fine, there are heaps of stock standard cars there, some go to the extraordinarly lengths of going to the nearest wreckers and buying a wreck for $50 and coming along.

[FASTFOO]

Do you need to pre enter or is it just show up pay and get told what to do next? (no sup reg's or anything?)

Sorry if it's a silly question but i realy know FA about this whole track thing!

Pre-entry is not required, just show up, take your car straight to scruitineering, pay your money at the scrutieering bay. There is no supp regs as this is a Fun Day, they will explain the rules at the drivers briefing at about 9.30am. Scrutineering bay is at the top of the hill in the bright red building.

Have fun, I might be over in the arvo.

$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $, or so says the Minister for War and Finance (aka - The Leader of the Opposition) says


Plus we are doing some mods to the XE, dash out, re-wire whole car, relocating battery.

[twentyEight]

Heading from Melbourne, the Glenrowan BP stations are just past the Winton Motor Raceway turnoff, yes?

[Big Trev]

Yeah, about 5k's

[twentyEight]

Sweet...

That means I shall be coming to this...

I'll head to the BP and fill up, and head to it again before I head home...

[Crazy]

If you're coming from Melb. just take the Benalla exit, fill up in town then drive straight on thru the town and over the bypass which will take you straight to the track, no need to go to Glenrowan then double back !!

[twentyEight]

What brand is it?

I'm not a brand snob, I'm just one of those lucky people who has a fuel card to use...

[Crazy]

Shit mate,ya got me on that one!, maybe Big Trev or Ian can fill you in on brands.

[ian]

hi twenty eight
there is a BP in benalla , turn off the freeway at the benalla mansfeild exit , drive past the golf club , turn right at the next roundabout, and it is there on your left
when are you heading up there

Sunday, that's if I go... Which I more than likely will...

Cheers for that Ian, I can go to any of the major 4 brands (Shell, BP, Mobil, and Caltex) as I have a card for each of them... I just want one not too far so that I can start with a full tank and use almost the whole lot...
