That is not real optomistic Simon . They should be looking in the mirrors for you. Have done a couple of these days as well and the variety of racecars is great.
cheers
Bob

Na, the 80% days are the "Fun Days" usually run on a sunday. The cost for the fun days is $30 or $50.
I have done a couple years ago when not too many turned up for them, but lately, hundreds turn up. too crazy for me.

Friday sessions are more for suspension/chassis setup. You never realy know what sorts of cars will be there, often a couple of HQ`s, commodore cup cars, formula ford and V`s, Improved production cars. maybe a GT3 or V8 fujitsu car.
You just have to keep an eye on the rear vision mirror for the faster cars comming up on you and give them room.

Off-topic here but, speaking of in car cams, check these guys out Simon. Chooie uses one in his car, picture quality is mind-blowing and sounds is crisp and neat.

GoPro HD

Here are some of their videos.

I want one but I have no race car to mount it in!

Winton Motor Racway have them set in their calender, nearly every friday. They are run with minimum staff. Each hour is divided evenly between bikes,open wheelers and sedans (20 min sessions).

There is no scruteneering either.

Good idea, I`ll mount a video cam.

If someone can stand in my engine bay and run at roughly 150kms an hour I'm in!
Who is it organised through? Love to do something like this once I've actually got a motor!
Could always bring down the Q5 and give it a run I spose. 20 inch tyres v's high speed cornering = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ = not gunna happen!

Hope you have an awesome time and make sure you take some car porn footage.

Im going to Winton for a test day on Friday 11th Feb.

Just thought i`d let others know incase someones keen to do some laps.

Cost is $130. plus $50 if you havnt already got a basic licence.

Gates open at 8am. Practice from 10 till 4. You get about 6 20min sessions.

Cheaper than a sprint day but with more laps,

Any takers?
