Motorsports - Circuit and Drag

[data_mine]

After the last meeting and the AFF Drag Nats this past weekend, there's some interest in some motorsport activities within the club. I raised the possibility of the club becoming CAMS affiliated, allowing members to attain a level 2 license.

I've done both Oran and Wakefield, and can recommend both (although I prefer Oran). Great days, well organised, and less 'dangerous' then Eastern Creek for example (fewer walls around, and plenty of run off). Oran is more suited to our big heavy cars, Wakefield is tighter more under steer inducing.

I haven't done a WSID night, so can't comment.

So who's interested in a track day?

sure why not, would this be a ford only thing ?? WSID is a fun night and if you like the sound of rotors even better

Thanks

Unlikely to be just us, the events I mentioned above are all open to the public. Running our own event becomes expensive and difficult very quickly.

Id be interested, ATM iam sorting out a tow car and turing the purp car into an offstreet vehicle.

There has been a bit of interest, in other threads, for track days and a few of us are going to Wakefield on 26th July. This is a timed day and is organised through Circuit Club Pty Limited. There may be spaces still available.

As for open track days, I am all for them. I have tried Eastern Creek and Wakefield but not Oran Park.

If anyone wants to pick a day at Oran Park I would be keen to go.
