I went along to this (not in my car, but to take photos), saw a few Fords up there. Not sure if any are members of the forums.

It was the biggest amount of paid entries ever, some 475 people paid to either drive or go as passengers. We did about 70 - 80 laps and went through about 120 litres of Ultimate - YIKES!!!, but it was fun. Here is a pic of our XE with me driving and a bloke out on holidays from Ireland, only ever been in a 2 litre - hehehehe, pity you didn't take more pics of it - LOL. And that is my mates Bluebird (with a 302 Windsor in it) just in front of me. ![]()

the fun days are good to get a feel for the track but if you want to enjoy the day more & have a decent go a track day is way better or the winton sprints if your after short runs for a cheaper price.

Does anyone know who owns that TS(E)50 that was there, (3rd photo down) it didn't seem to have much punch, or was the driver not having a go?

No, it didn't have any plates on it.
Yeah, that little Windsor does sound good, but it was off-song the whole weekend, it is normally about 2 seconds a lap quicker than the XE, but we were passing him, but it doesn't matter. (BTW, the owner of the Bluebird posts on here under the guise of Pedders Bendigo - so he should read this)

The incidents that have happend at the Fun Days I could count on one (maybe 2) hands, and I have been going to them for years.
By far the worst was the bloke in the Monaro who hit the wall in his company car. As far as car to car contact, I can only think of one that I know of, and that was 2 mates in Commodores being lard-heads with each other.

considering some of the clown that get out there the people who run the fun days do a fantastic job to keep the action clean & remove the clowns. the days serve a great purpose to cheaply get people onto the track. it beats trying to learn the track on a proper track day.

Yes, you need a secondary bonnet restraint for the Sprints.
Here is youtube of the Monaro crash, company car too. The driver did something weird and it hydroplaned into the wall. I was in charge of the Safety Team that day, I was amazed no-one was hurt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWotNeYsOJI
