If there are any of you guys wanting to come and play in Warwick, Qld, this year for our A series then about now is the time to contact them regarding expressions of interest.
Morgan Park Raceway
You have to lodge an expression of interest with them well before xmas. They will send you an acceptance form which you have to fill out and send back along with a cheque/bank deposit for $200. This stops a lot of the 'gunnas' from entering and not turning up.
They will then send you an entry form a month out from the first event. Costs about $150 a weekend which includes a garage for the weekend. We have a half day practice on the friday after 1pm which cost $25 (not a typo). Then racing starts Saturday morning, and runs till just after lunch sunday. It is run the same way it was at the Nationals, groups of up to 8 or 10 cars. One warm up lap then form up just before the start line. 2 cars side by side, red light goes out and the first 2 cars leave, next 2 cars move up, red light goes out etc. The timing is for your total 3/4 laps, not based on individual laps, consistency is your friend... It's a ton of fun, can't believe it took me so long to get into it.
Yve Stocks (MrsFlatchat) runs a bed & breakfast in Warwick that a lot of us stay in for the weekend. We regularly have 10 - 12 Cobras with the odd GT40 and a formation of lawn mowers there on any given round.
If you are interested in doing this but don't want to commit to 4 rounds of racing (mid feb, arpil, july, september) then you don't have to do every round. Maybe you could do 2 rounds in say feb and july, then only fill in and return the entry form if you want to come along. You don't have to pay if you don't do the event. The only thing is you have to pay $200 up front around Xmas time to say you will compete in the series.
Anyways, contact them at the above website, we would be glad to see a few more of you guys up here for the events.
