ll be going to this, looks to be a good fun day. i had a ball at heathcote and drag racing really dosent do much for me...throwing it around a circut should be good.
We should try and get a few AU's up there. The next Winton Fun Day is scheduled for Sunday July 8th 2007. The Fun Day is a "come and try" day and is designed to allow the average motorist access to a real race track under controlled conditions. Cost: Is $25 per driver and $25 per passenger Programme: Normally be there by 8.00 for scrutineering, but this can take some time. Drivers Briefing at around 9.00 - 9.30 Driver only on track for 30 minutes sighting laps, then Driver with passenger for 30 minutes, then Driver only on track for 30 minutes, then Driver with passenger for 30 minutes, then Driver only on track for 30 minutes, and so on all day until about 4.30 Requirements: Bring your car, an Australian Standard Approved helmet, the helmet can be either open or closed face, fire proof clothes that cover you from neck to ankle to wrist (cotton or wool clothes are good). Runners are not the preferred footwear, Blundstones boots (or similar) or any leather type shoe is preferable Make sure your car has no oil/coolant leaks, fitted seat belts, battery is secure, wheels nuts are tights, no loose items in the car or boot. The Car does not have to be registered, but has to road/race worthy. Tyres need to be in good nick, tread depth is not normally a problem unless wire is poking out. There are normally no checks done of lights except for brake lights except if it is an overcast, rainy day, then there may be checks for lights as well as wipers. Tow bar tongues and bull bars must be removed. You do not need to have a race licence, club licence or indeed a car licence abut you must be over 16 to drive or be a passenger. And very importantly, bring a smart, alert attitude, coz there is some very fast cars out there, whilst it is not a race meeting, some people bring race cars and we push them hard to behave appropriately around first timers. Food and drinks are available through a canteen |

I will be there if my beast has the new headers/cats and nice new tune done.
Do you know roughly how many cars are on the track at any given time?

There is normally about 40 cars over the 3 kilometre track, but if people start being silly then more cars are put out to fill in the gaps, this normally happens only first thing in the morning until people get the hang of the rules.

You get heaps if you hang in there, the drop off rate is quite high. It can be busy first thing.
