Eastern Creek Raceway - Open Practice Day - Special rate
A couple of months ago I went to the Eastern Creek Raceway - Open Practice Day and I thought it was pretty darn good.
They run it well, with each hour split in to 3 lots of 20 minute sessions. Which means you have time to get into a groove and concentrate, rather than just a few laps. There aren't too many other cars on the track at one time and most people are well behaved - they do talk to hooligans and even send them home if they don't behave.
Well I have been speaking to the organisers and have managed to get a special deal for MX5 club and forum members for the Thursday 20th of July. It normally costs $250 per driver, but they have offered it to us $200. This includes lunch and even morning and arvo tea. Plus you can use the garages too. Pretty good value I think.
Plus depending on how well we subscribe to this, there is the possibility of evening track nights in day light savings (5-9pm) for just us and if enough people go to the free practice, then we'd be 1 of the the 3 groups exclusively, get our own lunch and basically get looked after.
Oh, in this practice you do not need a cams licence or a eastern creek licence. You just use a normal road licence. Saves some $$$.
Now I have the entry forms, PM me and I send them to you. Basically to get the saving you use these forms. I'll try and post a link later tonight or tomorrow directly to them.
BTW I am not against Wakefield, not at all, I just like more options.

Hi Snowie,
Do thay have timing available at the day or do you take care of that yourself?
I would be interested but can't be sure if I can make it just yet.

No timing or placings. Just driving! I've been looking for lap timers on ebay but nothing's come up.Forced Fives wrote:Hi Snowie,

Forced Fives, as Bevan said they don't do timing at present.
BUT, when I spoke to them and said that we do timing at the MX5 club days, he said, \"oh would you like that\". So whilst at present it isn't, I think if there were enough people to justifty it then he would think about it.
In the mean time, bring a friend with a stop watch.
Oh and I just can't seem to post the files - so if there is someone out there who can host them for me, I would appreciate it. (Cos I have tried to get them on my web space (optusnet), but they just don't appear.)
Thanks
