GENERAL TIMETABLE

4.30-5pm - Documentation and Scruitineering.
5pm - Drivers Briefing
5.15pm - 9pm - Rotation of the the three groups during this time.

Each run will be approx 3-4 laps - after that all the dattos brakes will be a cooking.

There are a few simple rules which are the same as last year regarding car and driver saftey and these will be told at drivers breifing.

EVERYONE WHO GOES OUT ONTO THE TRACK WILL SIGN AN INDEMNITY FORM - these will be provided at the start of scrutineering.

We will be using the Grand Prix track full circuit including the dipper. You should always move in the direction of the track which is anti-clockwise and complete a full lap of the track if you can, rather than take a short cut.

Track time will be split into 3 Catagories....

ORIENTATION GROUP.
Road cars with no Helmets requirements and passengers allowed max speed under 100kph. No passing - Indian file behind the Brocky41 in the front car. This is so everyone can experience what its like to drive on a racetrack and family Ie kids can go for a ride with there respective adults. Brocky41 will take the basic Race-line around the track for everyone to get an idea of what to do. We will try and run this at least three times over the night to give everyone a chance to jump in.

FAST GROUP - FULL LENGTH COTTON OVERALLS AND HELMET REQUIRED - For fast cars and fast drivers. No passengers unlees MSNZ Rollcage and harnesses fitted (passenger must sign indemnity form)

SLOW GROUP - FULL LENGTH COTTON OVERALLS AND HELMET REQUIRED - For novice drivers or slow cars. No passengers unlees MSNZ Rollcage and harnesses fitted (passenger must sign indemnity form)

Race cars will need to be up first as noise is an issue after 6pm (these could be there earlier please ask Brocky41)

Whoop Whoop Bring on the 25th
Planning on keeping it on the smooth stuff and all 4 wheels on the ground this year.
Thanx for getting this sorted Simon.

[DJZ]

I'm definitely there, hopefully nothing breaks this year! What are the thoughts on other cars etc coming along? I believe last year it was supposed to be Datsun club cars only but there was a Z32 there?

[nick_m]

matto with the z32 also owns Johns old skdmarx 1200 coupe

[woodies72coupe]

I think we can be forgiving for certain cars. For example any of our club supporters like swan or nissan should come out if they wish.
Show them what it's all about?

Just putting it out there?

Otherwise I think I'll be out on the track this year!!

Another thing Mark mentioned when I booked the track was to try to run the louder cars earlier on as they are still fighting with the council and locals over noise levels!

[Datto_610]
