VIC: Winton Fun day Saturday, 11 July 2015. Who's in?

Tree

This will be my main motivator for the T5 tranny swap over next month

Cost: $50
Gates open at 8.00am. There is probably a massive queue by 7:30.
Scrutineering commences at 8.15am. There will be lots of cars. HEAPS. Early birds get the best parking spots with shade.
A compulsory Driver’s Briefing is held at 10.00am.

Just a few things to note from past experience:
You can get sunburnt
Compulsory driver's briefing is not really compulsory. Guideline covers it anyways.
There is a canteen for food and drinks
Track frees up between 2-4pm

Lets show em the force of a brick at 200km/h :D

Hey Paulie you'll find me in a crimson red 740 turbo tomorrow after 11am. Won't be going to the sprints tho I'm super low on funds right now. There's a few blokes coming down from Volvo club so we've got good support tomorrow!

S40T4

A 740 turbo, yeah baby YEAH! one of my favourite Volvos of all time. Is it a manual, pleases say it is.

Tree

Had an absolute HOOT today, never thought heavy downpour and RWD volvos could be so much fun, so much that I got black flagged for going sideways too many corners. Fact: I was trying not to but 11 year old tyres could not gain traction at all haha

Nice to meet you Paul hopefully I can make it to next club sprint.
Thanks for coming down Darcy, hopefully next time you'll get your P's and get some track time instead of watching me be a maniac behind the wheel haha

Ghettobird

Totally would have come up with you guys, gimme a few months :)

Tree

They usually hold it twice a year, start and mid year. So next should be January. I should have good supporting mods by then. Looking at sub 1m 50s hehe

S40T4

great to see a few Volvos getting in and having a go.
Did a PB in the Alfa 75 TS today 1.49.3
Brilliant day, you guys should give it ago, so much better than a fun day.

Fun days are ok for just a first time drive around the track don't get me wrong.
Happy to assist you on s Winton Sprints day if any of you want to try it out, it's not to serious and very well run.

Cheers Paul

Congrats on the pb!!

Each might have its own merits, no doubt you saw how much fun I had yesterday in the rain, and I've been to every fun day since 2012. Busy track gives that door to door racing experience at fraction of cost!!

I am keen to try the next sprint day when my car will actually be somewhat competitive. And I'm sure it will be just as good if not better than fun day as you say.
