Raising eyebrow @ kameleon, who said "Prep for this event starts tomorrow morning"

Great your getting organised Trav. Far better than waiting till its loaded off the trailer..
 
Big thanks to Bonikal who was been helping out alot with the website and a few other things. Welder certainly came in handy today!
So the website is online with all the information packs available for download as a PDF file.
When sending your entry can you please provide 50 or so words on the car and a picture which will be added to the site. 
The first 26 entries will be given a garage as part of the program. Entries outside the first 26 will be in the open garages so dont leave it too long people.
Also looking into setting up two simulators side by side for some fun. GT5, T500rs, hydraulic brake, sim rig with race seats. These will be located in one of the garages if it comes to light.  
 
Website is www.ultimatetrackdaychallenge.com.au
cheers

Spoke to Andy and we should be paid up this week, we really need that garage space coming from Melbourne and all (in case something breaks + tool/spares storage)
 
Looking forward to this.
 
 
PS. Will we be racing on the whole circuit instead of just the short course?

I've had my car at Wakefield a few times and I don't have muffler at all. It's just a 3 inch pipe straight off the turbo, and I've never been hassled for noise.

The noise is measured on the hill about 30mtrs from the track so it will not be a issue. Our cars are very quiet compared to what you see at a race track.
You dont need a cage or harness unles you have fibreglass doors but if you are running under a 1:09, I would recommend some safety for your own sake.

Have a garage is a great way to spent a few days at the track. Power, lights, pull the doors down if the weather changes and when you arrive in the morning, you lift the doors to a view of the track. What more do you want!
You also have your support vehicles right behind the garage which makes life easy for service and maintenance on the vehicles.
 
Trav, we are using four different configurations of whats available at Wakefield. This only happens in rare circumstances but will be a regular if this event is well supported.
The short course will be used from 9-12 on the Monday at the same time the CAMS Hillclimb. It will be a round robin between the two layouts.
After lunch, the special stage will be prepared then used till about 4pm. After 4pm, the event will then be run on the long circuit.
From 4pm till 6pm will be practice for competition, passenger runs, social driving.
I really would like to keep the social driving to people who are more into cruising, show and shine style events who what to do a few laps for the first time with a experienced driver and on their own.
People  who are experienced in hillclimbs and trackdays should really do the challenge as its not a big competition but opportunity to experience four tracks, five formats in two days, have some fun with some friendly competition thrown into the mix.
Im organising a check list for preparation of your car to help clear up what is required. It will not be over the top like some other events, but the main aim is to have your car reliable, good brake pads, new fluid, no major oil leaks and some other bits and peices.
 
Cheers
