Queensland Raceway - Saturday October 18

[m1n130]

Howdy All,

It is that time again! The next Queensland Raceway Saturday Afternoon Sprint is Saturday 18th October. We will be aiming for 6 to 8 MINI's again with a view to getting us all on the track at the same time, much the same layout as last month.

Once again come along, watch, participate, become someone's official video taker or professional heckler

There is likely to be much less traffic this month with no other major events at Willowbank on to make the traffic interesting.

Remember to wear a long sleeve shirt and long trousers, no thongs, bikini's or leopard print g-strings (AussieMini excepted ), save that for pit lane

We are going to try to get a garage this time around (we tried this last time but turned out to be a bit difficult on the day), the cost will work out at about $35 per vehicle and will basically be a dumping ground for spare tyres, kenhenry's large lunch box and any other bits and bobs you don't want flying around the inside of your MINI whilst on the track. If nothing else it is somewhere to get out of the Sun Thus, let me know if you are coming and would like a spot under cover

The costs for the day are as follows:

$30.00 - Track License, good for 12 months at QR only.
$40.00 - First 7 laps
$25.00 - Second 7 Laps
Third set of 7 laps are free.

Those that paid for their license last time need not purchase another this time around.

Timings are as follows:

October 18th
11.30 - Sign On
12.00 - Safety Brief
1.00 - On Track, depending on numbers driving

Come along, have a go, or just watch. It is certainly a lot of fun For more information go to www.queenslandraceway.com.au

Count me and my lunchbox in - hey, driving makes me hungry!!

Can't make it sorry this time because I'll just be back from Bathurst and my mates 21st is on that weekend

Good work Rob for organising it again

Unfortunately, I probably won't make it this time because a track day will mean the difference between me needing new tyres before xmas or not

I'll bring a camera if Danny wears his leopard print g-string

Although not a pretty sight I would imagine, It would be worth a good laugh I reckon

That would get me out there

Your right swamos, not a pretty sight, but maybe after Tuesday's jump suit, he's switching sides.

BTW, it would be good to have you out at QR, even if you don't drive.

I agree, would be good for you to trundle along irrespective, maybe you can take on the role of official heckler

I just found out it's not the Supercharger thats gives Cooper S Guys the advantage it is the 17" tyres. Since fitting them i've managed to get a bit more speed out of my otherwise Cooper

I will be there too. Maybe sporting new stripes as I here they also are good for 15kW.
