Would pay to man
earlier the better

wouldnt mind coming to this track day but the format kinda puts me off ( no offence )

with teh four classes its going to be a meir sorting pple out into there classes to get them out on the track
your far better off having track cars and then road cars separet from everyone

trust me cause come 12 after lunch everyone would be muddled up

DEPOSIT IS $60.00 BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY THE REST BEFORE THE 25TH AUGUST 2009.

AND GUYS BY THE WAY, THE EARLIER YOU GET TO THE TRACK THE MORE OF A CHANCE OF GETTING ON THERE FIRST.

RACES ARE GROUPS OF 10 - 20 CARS..

Maybe interested. :)
How many track-days have you run?

Recommendation: Don't have any more than 12 cars on the track at one time for track two. Traffic will be too much for the newer drivers if you let it ride up to 20 for a single car sprint style of event.
