Queensland Raceway Brekkie Laps - Saturday 24th of April 2021
Hello fellow Brekkie Laps enthusiasts!
We have booked Queensland Raceway for Breakfast + Laps.
Please provide the colour, make and model of your car when requesting a spot so we can confirm who is out there. We have to pre-pay to book the event for us now as well as a deposit.
Pricing for forum members is $52 per Driver and $20 per each Passenger. If minimum numbers are not met, pricing may need to increase to cover event cost.
No show No refund.
Closer to the date I will send you the payment details so we can have it all paid up and sorted on time. If we need to open it up to non forum members to fill spots costs will be $57 for Drivers and $20 for each of their Passengers.
Payments not received by due date will mean you are replaced with a reserve.
Payment due by Saturday 17th of April
The Breakfast starts at 7:30am sharp and we should be out on the track by 8:15am after a safety briefing at 8am. Please be there by 7am.
Please be aware that QLD Raceways does monitor the forum and as such, any posts regarding activities that breach the rules of the track/happy laps will be noted by the staff and you may be banned from the events.
Queensland Raceways Management has asked that we review the format for our happy laps to ensure that we can continue to host the event in a safe and suitable manner and as a result we must urge that THIS SESSION IS NOT A RACE and non compliance will not be tolerated. People not adhering to the rules will be banned from future events.
VWWatercooled Forum and Event Organiser/s are not liable for any damage to any vehicles or track facilities. Driving on a Racetrack at speed is dangerous and you should consider these risks before deciding to come on track.
Rules are as follows (Please Read Carefully):
Conduct: This is not a dedicated track event. People have been warned previously about their driving conduct and, as a result, we have been pulled off early. If this happens the offender will be banned from all future events.
* FWD and AWD Euro cars preferred (at discretion of event organiser).
* All vehicles that enter must be road-worthy and registered with viewable registration plates.
* At a minimum, please wear shorts, t-shirt and closed-in shoes with a grippy sole.
* No children under 12 years of age are allowed in cars on track.
* Payments not received by the due date may mean member is removed from the main list and replaced by a reserve. This is so pre-payment to Qld Raceways is made on time.
Overtaking is only permitted on the main straight and no overtaking past the kink, overtaking in the lead up to the carousel/hairpin corner is dangerous and introduces unnecessary risk.
* The responsibility is on the overtaking driver to do it safely. IF IN DOUBT, DO NOT OVERTAKE.
* If you are not overtaking anyone on the main straight, please stay to the left of the track and let any driver that is consistently on your tail overtake you. You'll know this if you've been watching your mirrors.
To be overtaken safely, maintain your speed at the entry to the main straight and stay to the left. Do not brake or accelerate, just hold your line at a reasonable, steady speed to allow the overtaking driver to execute the manoeuvre safely.
* If you think you are actually quicker on the track, then you should be able to come up to that car again the next time you reach the main straight, and then the roles will be reversed: The original overtaking driver should now let the other car overtake.
Passengers are welcome and encouraged. Anyone entering the track (drivers, passengers and those splitting the driving) must have a wristband, which means that track fees are payable by everyone in the car (but you get a delicious breakfast, which is BONUS!)
No children under 12 years of age are allowed in cars on track.
Breakfast Menu:
With Covid restrictions on sitting down, breakfast will be along the lines of a bacon and egg burger with sausage and hash browns. Subject to change from Qld Raceway
Additional information and reminders:
* This event is open to forum contributors only.
* Anyone can come and passenger with you (no children under 12 years old).
* 25 cars max to minimise traffic problems out on the track.
* Please post to indicate that you would like to attend with the colour, make and model of your vehicle and how many people you will be bringing with you. You can be anonymous on the forum but you cannot be anonymous on the track.
When the main list is full, members will be added to the reserve list. If someone pulls out, the first person on the reserve list will be moved up to the main list. Any forum members remaining on the reserve list by the event date will be placed directly on the main list for the next event. Please check the next event details when they are posted to ensure that you can attend if you are put on the main list.
Payment due by Saturday April 17th
