Hi Guys,

I have just come across some information that leads me to believe that Winton has double booked the 20th of October. I am still waiting on confirmation from them, but as they have been hard to contact at the best of times I am yet again waiting for a call back to find out what is going on.

As you could all imagine its been a long & hard process to organise this thus far & I am unsure I have the time & energy to make it all happen again even if another date is given to us. From now until mid December I don't have any free time & wouldn't ask all of you to make other arrangements to try & make yourselves available on another date.

Im sure weekdays will still be available there but in saying that I cant be certain & I cant ask everyone to take a day off work. The only other option I can offer if you do want to go to the track day is to join the people that have booked it on the day. although this is a sprint event & you will need all the appropriate safety equipment that goes along with a sprint. (some of you will have this but many wont) For those that want to go to Winton on that day please let me know & I will be happy & arrange that for you (pending availability).

The other option is a go-kart day at ACE KARTS on the 21st (the day after the Winton day was to be), they have a few good deals going for bucks days & I will be arranging to have my bucks there unless Winton miraculously tells me that the other party has got there dates confused & our day is going ahead (which I cant see happening)

If you would like to join me ACE KARTS please let me know, if you would like your money back please email me at zokstoj@optusnet.com asap with all the details you gave me in the initial deposit & I will organise a refund.

Please decide by the weekend so I can make a booking with ace karts as they have very little spots left on Sunday (the 21st) & no spots left on the Saturday. If you would like to call me & discuss your options please do so on 0438 88 38 34.

I am very sorry it has come to this & I am heart broken, no other words can describe how I am feeling at the moment but we must move on. My main concern was getting numbers when it should have been making sure the track was ontop of things. I guess I will know for next time (if there is a next time)

I will also be posting this on the forums but if there is someone that you know may not receive this information please let them know the situation asap as I don't want to be misleading.

To everyone that did the right thing & has supported me I thank you for giving me the opportunity to try & live my dream but it just wasn't to be this time.

Once again if you do want to do the next best thing please let me know asap so I can book the go-kart track & not loose out on any other opportunities.

Zoran





MORE IMPORTANT INFO PLEASE READ & REPLY ASAP
hey guys, as Sandown is a CAMS affiliated track if we go there we will need to follow all the CAMS rulings, too hard for the everyday person, so we have a choice of WINTON or DECA (at Shepperton) please let me know if your out as a result of it not being at Sandown ASAP



Hey guys the time has come to start planning my bucks & I have been wondering what to do for it.......

At first i was thinking of going gokarting & having a BBQ but with gokarting sessions costing around $70 for about an hour plus the bbq it would have only taken up about 2-3 hours of the day/night which would have left me wondering what we would do for a few more hours.........

So it was back to the drawing board & after much thinking, i have decided to rent out either Winton Raceway, or DECA for the day. If we go to Winton we would be looking at the 20th of October, as yet I have not looked into DECA as I would like to go to a dedicated track if we can collect the funds & will only loo

hey grumpy we are looking at the 20th if at winton, but a place has also come up at sandown on the 13th, although that track is a lok more demanding & has very little space for error, although it is a lot closer.....

either of those good for you?

20th is a maybe. Got to be back in the city by 6.00pm for a VERY VERY IMPORTANT DINNER DATE. 13th at Sandown is fine as this will give me a practice for a sprint event on the 28th.
