Spot has been filled by a mr2 owhere


Cheers

My spot is up for grabs if anyone is interested.

I'm currently afflicted by man-flu and most of the family has regular flu. Even if I'm back in the land of the living on Saturday I won't be alive much longer If I leave my sick wife alone in the house with hyperactive and/or sick kids.

Hi All,
I’ve been asked to cover off a few more safety items for Saturdays event.
I’ve already listed the compulsory clothing items and recommended brake inspections, however I will list them again here:
As always you are welcome to go above the minimum standards if you have the safety gear already.
If anyone has any questions or concerns please message me.

Mandatory:
Australian Standards Helmet
Neck to Wrist to Ankle Clothing
Closed in Shoes
All loose items including floor matts to be removed from vehicle.
Drivers window 75% up.
Any go pros or cameras must have a second strap securing them to the car

Inspection:
Please inspect your braking system, if not the entire car, prior to attending the circuit.
In addition, please check your fluids and torque your wheel nuts.
Ensure seat belt is in good condition and working.
If your brake fluid is old , please replace it before attending the track.
 
Optional (however recommended):
Cotton socks and underwear (not synthetic)
Any exposed glass headlights or glass fog lights have tape in an “x” across them.
Fire extinguisher (Securely mounted)

Timers:
Timers will need to be mounted away from any metals on the vehicle, preferably on the front.
Any metals between the timer and the track surface can interfere with the timing. I usually zip-tie mine onto the front bumper slats.

The timers can be rented for $20 from the tower plus a $100 deposit, or you can buy outright for $100.
If the timer is damaged, lost or not returned, you will not receive your deposit back. The batteries last about 5 years, so I personally consider it better value just to buy one if you’re going to do at least one track day a year.  

For the morning session we will be mixed in with other “tin tops” which can be any range of car from race car to stock street cars. Please be aware of faster vehicles and use your mirrors. We will cover off safe passing at the track but some general rules;
 

1. The overtaking car is always responsible – so only overtake when safe to do so
2. No overtaking on corners
3. If you are being approached by a faster car, hold your line and allow the faster car to pass.

For the afternoon session we are on track with only the MR2’s, same principal applies as above however.

Drive within your own and your cars limits. The last thing we want is accidents at any event.

Please bring tape to tape your number to the car, and zip ties to secure the timer to your car
Thanks!
