Winton 'fun day' - 2nd of November '03
FYI.
With the cancellation of the Junior VMRC round that was to be held at Winton on the 1st November (Melbourne Cup Weekend) Winton has decide to run a Fun Day on Sunday 2nd of November.
So what's a Fun Day?
As Dean Hutton used to say on the Curiosity Show "I'm glad you asked".
Basically it's a run what you brung track day.
For a small entry fee and some basic safety equipment you can drive your car at speed on the Winton race track.
There are rules and rule 1 is basically if you break any of the other rules you will be warned or shown the front gate.
You will need to ring Winton for details (but give them a couple of days as they only decided to do it officially yesterday) but you will need the following;
A car or a mate with a car,
Fire extinguisher bolted to the inside of the car,
Bonnet tied down,
Hub caps off,
Loose items out of the car,
Ankle to wrist non flamable clothing (no polyester or nylon).
Helmet that is to Aust standards.
There is probably some stuff I've forgot hence the ring Winton for details comment.
Entry will be open to any nut case who turns up and the day will be controlled by experienced officials who have actually told V8Supercar drivers where to go so be warned.
A friendly warning to those of you considering playing. Your car insurance won't cover any damage done to your car, neither will your manufacturers warranty.
It's also a long way to push your car home if something breaks on it. I've seen several people destroy the brakes on their car or blowing clutches, diffs or gearboxes and then trying to workout how to get back to Melbourne.
