Winton 6hr - Participant and volunteer call out.

[shelldrake]

Hey guys,

Starting a new thread here instead of track talk so the Melbourne boys and girls don't forget about us.

There is plenty of time before the 6hr (17th and 18th of October), but we need to start planning early. There is plenty to be done. Alot of it is car preparation and testing. There are also presentation things to be done(T-SHIRTS/Race stickers/Club Banners), game plans(We learnt alot last year), Club car need to be finished off.

We need find out who is interested in participating and who is interested in helping out. If you wish to participate, you need to organise a basic cams license - which is dead easy. Just join any cams affilliated car club, fill out the L2S form on the cams website and pay your 95 bucks! (It's valid for 12 months)

Please post here if you are interested. We will probably have two teams - Depending on interest of course - Last year we had a classic celica team and an others team. Maximum of 6 per team. Each team really need a manager to organise the team, a few time keepers, someone responsible for the timing board, plus a few helpers to line up cars, help do on the spot repairs, help us have fun on the Friday/Saturday night.

Mad1600 has sold his car, and Timbo is trying to....so perhaps we will have to combine everyone into the one team?

[SilverRA23]

But count me in

[fiynix]

At this stage i can be a volunteer.
However i will be keeping you posted as with my crohn's atm i'm having a few more down days than i would like.
Hopefully by that time though it will be ok for the event's.
Thank you also for the PM shelldrake it was very helpful.

Fixnix - No problem mate. See how you go. We'd love to have you on board anyway.

SilverRA23 - Timbo has an ra28 too...

[timbosaurus]

yeah, i'll be there in something... just not certain what

[Slim]

yeah, i'll be there in something... just not certain what

Can i suggest at a bare minimum, clothes?

[merc-blue]

at this stage im still keen,
I need to sit down and budget it all out to see if can afford it and also have a go over the car to ensure it doesnt need anything major

Fixnix - No problem mate. See how you go. We'd love to have you on board anyway.

SilverRA23 - Timbo has an ra28 too...

Cheers mate.
even if you guys just need someone to lug a whole heap of stuff in his car i'd be more than happy to help that way.

not that it matters but it's fiynix (James Jimmy Jimbob) i'll answer to any of them lol.

[TurboRA28]

Yup i'm in if you'll have me

[timbosaurus]

Joel... Sweet as!

Slim, you know I'd to wear clothes, can't have you grabbing the wrong thing when you're clipping in the fifth point of the harness for me.

[TurboRA28]

So for the car..
I believe I need a 2nd bonnet restraint? Anything else in particular that I need to consider?

[SilverRA23]

2nd bonnet restraint wont apply for the front hinged bonnet of your Celica!

Also need a triangle indicating where the battery is and a fire extinguisher that is in date.

Otherwise car has to be in good mechanical condition - they will check the wheel bearings probably and make sure everything is secure.

[SilverRA23]

Oh and sufficient tread on your tyres - Timbo got a hard time on that one last year

[Alex]

I'm definatley interested in this event and I will know at a later date if i'm able to drive or help out.
