Something different for Round 5 Happy Laps!
This time its Queensland Raceway for breakfast ($25) and it's the
Full National Circuit! (see team_v's post below)
Apologies to people who requested Saturdays, this was the only remaining weekend date available in May (Sunday 27th May).
The Safety Briefing/Breakfast starts at 7:30 and we should be out on the track by 8:30am.
It is recommended that people arrive in plenty of time, maybe around 7:20.
Menu:
Fresh toast
Fried or Scrambled eggs
Crispy bacon
Gourmet chipolatas
Baked beans
Tea & coffee
Rules:
Following on from Lakeside Happy Lap Rules (but subject to confirmation at briefing):
No PPE gear required (i.e. no need for a helmet, fireproof long sleeved shirt etc).
Do not frustrate other drivers by holding them up in corners and then making it difficult for them to pass you on the straights
watch your mirrors, be considerate and move over on the straights, and if necessary slow down to let them pass
No undercutting to overtake on the corners.
Only overtake on straight sections of the track
If you are not overtaking anyone on the straight stay to one side of the track and let quicker cars overtake
People other than the driver:
People who wish to passenger/split the driving are required to pay the same amount as the driver.
People who wish to watch from trackside do not have to pay unless they want breakfast.
Anyone can come and passenger with you if they are willing to pay for breakfast.
With Queensland Raceway being a slightly bigger track than Lakeside, and there being more safe run-off areas, I have been advised that we could have at least 35 cars on the track. We might trial this number depending on interest, and if it works well we can repeat at the next outing, otherwise we can adjust as appopriate.
If the Main List fills up, nominations will go on the reserve list and when/if someone pulls out you will get moved from reserve into the main list.
Unfortunately if you do not make it to the main list you can't be accommodated at the event (apart from spectating or as a passenger) but if there are any remaining on the reserve list by the cut-off date I will place them on the main list if we organise another event at QR to give a fair spread.
Please let me know if you are coming and how many people you will be bringing with you for catering purposes.
Queensland Raceway is located about 20 minutes west of Ipswich just off the Cunningham Highway (travelling towards Warwick) at the end of Champions Way at the Ipswich Motorsport Precinct. Turning right into Champions Way from Cunningham Highway, you will go past Willowbank Drag Strip and Ipswich Kart Track. Go to the end of the road (kinks to the right) and turn left into the Qld Raceway carpark. You should be able to park close to the Control Tower which is where the briefing will be held.
Be aware that there are frequently speed camera vans located on the highway close to the racetrack.
Thanks to Clay for the template!
