Thursday night, 18th Feb, The HSRCA (Historic Sports and Racing Car Association) have organised a club track night that is open to the public. This is a bit different as they are using our track day provider (Driving Solutions) to run it for them, especially in effort to get new old cars and peeps out there.
This is important because outside of the CAMS (Motorsports Australia) format, well one doesn't need a log booked, or even a rego'd car to come play at these track nights. I mean it can be, but it's not a requirement. You don't need a competitive license from CAMS (only a state issue drivers license) and you don't need to pour over sub-regs to work out if you are going to fit in a category or if those tyres are allowed or any of that crap.
You really can push the car onto a trailer, (or drive it there) turn up with a helmet and long sleeves, sign a waiver and your out on the track having a ball! All in all it's an excellent initiative to get folks out there playing with their cars and meeting other folks whom also like dumb ol' cars.
I'm supporting this because I dam well wish this is something the ARDC was doing already. It's a bloody great idea and it deserves to be well received.
Oh the price! It took $178 of my credit card, I'm sure it will yours too.
They have booked the North Circuit, which is very polite on tyres and the flip flop, it's actually fun! You hit the curb turning left (where you'd normally be turning right) then up over the slight rise you are greeted with the off camber gentle right hander that makes your tummy feel like you are on a swing as an 8yr old
By the time you are at turn 18 you are going faster then you would usually and you can run wide and throw it over the curb just because!
I understand they are running it in a kinda sprint format (~20 cars at a time on the track, released with gaps with faster cars at the front) so you should not be help up nor hold up anyone. All very polite and nice. I understand timing will be provided so you can see how your going / brag about it here later.
So come on New South Welsh Folk! Come join my SuperPos Reno12. We'll take photos and talk sh1t.
