Driver Training Day - 3rd March 2008

[Inducted_Breeze]

***Can Mods please move this to the WA Events section or where appropriate.

Hi All, this event has opened up to other Ford enthusiasts if you wish to be a part. This has also been advertised on AFF and other clubs such as Perth Falcons have also been invited. You dont need to become a club member you just need to satisfy the track requirements below:

Driver Training Day at Barbagallo is fast approaching - Monday 3rd March 2008 - and we only have 17 spots left at this stage, so hurry and secure your spot with the Treasurer now! [email protected]

Cost for this event is $175 per driver. There will be 6 instructors on the day and heaps more time out on the track compared to MC Motorsport! We will have the use of both the short and long tracks. We need 40 drivers to make this event happen and we will need full payment as soon as possible. The event has now been opened to family, friends, forum members (non-club) and other car clubs. You will need to arrive at the Barbagallo entrance by 7.30am. We have the track booked from 8am-4pm, so would like to get the formalities over as quickly as possible so that we can get out on the track ASAP.

You will need a CAMS license to participate - either a day license or a year license - and the forms will be available to fill out on the day. A day license will cost $21 and a year license will cost $88. You must have full payment on the day or you will not be able to participate.

You MUST change your brake fluid (high boiling point fluid is best). Check your brake rotors and pads, pump up your tyres to 40 psi, remove all loose equipment from your interior (before leaving home to save time) including from in the glove box, centre console, boot area and even your floor mats -everything can become a missile. Make sure your battery is tightly secured. Pre BA's will need a catch can for the water overflow. A 600ml coke bottle will do for most models.

The clothing requirements for the event are a long sleeved cotton shirt, long pants, closed shoes and an Australian Standards Approved helmet. A fire extinguisher is recommended, but not mandatory.

Spectators are welcome, but must be on their best behaviour or they will be asked to leave.

The Club trailer and esky’s will be there on the day and a sausage sizzle will be provided or you can BYO lunch as there are no food outlets close by. You may want to bring along some extra drinks in case we have a repeat of the scorcher of a day that we had last year!!

pity there isn't an interest in this one but no matter. Dont be afraid to pm me if there are other events that we may be interestid in entering from the fpv tickford club, and I can start a thread in this section for you

I'm very keen to participate but can't make it on such short notice. I'm even a member of the fpv tickford club (event organisers) and only received notice of this event a few weeks back. Track days require organisation of things like a fresh pads, brake fluid and a service. It's often hard to get all this done on such short notice. Holding such an event so early in the year probably doesn't help either, not to mention holding it on a long weekend! I dunno, maybe im just too busy. I'll be sure to have my sh#t organised in readiness for next time.

[Inducted_Breeze]

sorry to hear you cant make it Bonza hope to see you for the next one

FYI - The original Barbs discussion thread on the FPVTOCWA site started on June 20 2007 and the followup thread with more details began on Nov 6 2007 hehe

So judging by that you must be a VERY busy person :D

Thanks for the offer XR06T I wasn't sure what to do in getting items into the WA section so that's very helpful
