Hi Guys,
I have just come across some information that leads me to believe that Winton has double booked the 20th of October. I am still waiting on confirmation from them, but as they have been hard to contact at the best of times I am yet again waiting for a call back to find out what is going on.
As you could all imagine its been a long & hard process to organise this thus far & I am unsure I have the time & energy to make it all happen again even if another date is given to us. From now until mid December I don't have any free time & wouldn't ask all of you to make other arrangements to try & make yourselves available on another date.
Im sure weekdays will still be available there but in saying that I cant be certain & I cant ask everyone to take a day off work. The only other option I can offer if you do want to go to the track day is to join the people that have booked it on the day. although this is a sprint event & you will need all the appropriate safety equipment that goes along with a sprint. (some of you will have this but many wont) For those that want to go to Winton on that day please let me know & I will be happy & arrange that for you (pending availability).
The other option is a go-kart day at ACE KARTS on the 21st (the day after the Winton day was to be), they have a few good deals going for bucks days & I will be arranging to have my bucks there unless Winton miraculously tells me that the other party has got there dates confused & our day is going ahead (which I cant see happening)
If you would like to join me ACE KARTS please let me know, if you would like your money back please email me at zokstoj@optusnet.com asap with all the details you gave me in the initial deposit & I will organise a refund.
Please decide by the weekend so I can make a booking with ace karts as they have very little spots left on Sunday (the 21st) & no spots left on the Saturday. If you would like to call me & discuss your options please do so on 0438 88 38 34.
I am very sorry it has come to this & I am heart broken, no other words can describe how I am feeling at the moment but we must move on. My main concern was getting numbers when it should have been making sure the track was ontop of things. I guess I will know for next time (if there is a next time)
I will also be posting this on the forums but if there is someone that you know may not receive this information please let them know the situation asap as I don't want to be misleading.
To everyone that did the right thing & has supported me I thank you for giving me the opportunity to try & live my dream but it just wasn't to be this time.
Once again if you do want to do the next best thing please let me know asap so I can book the go-kart track & not loose out on any other opportunities.

Hey guys the time has come to start planning my bucks & I have been wondering what to do for it.......
At first i was thinking of going gokarting & having a BBQ but with gokarting sessions costing around $70 for about an hour plus the bbq it would have only taken up about 2-3 hours of the day/night which would have left me wondering what we would do for a few more hours.........
So it was back to the drawing board & after much thinking, i have decided to rent out either Winton Raceway, or DECA for the day. If we go to Winton we would be looking at the 20th of October, as yet I have not looked into DECA as I would like to go to a dedicated track if we can collect the funds & will only look at DECA if I cannot get the numbers we need to pay for Winton. Both guys & girls are invited to this so I don’t think you will be seeing the usual strippers & there will be NO drinking on or near the track, but that doesn’t mean we wont have a ball.
The basics are: race around the track as much as you like, when you like & if there is enough interest we can do
a cars session a bike session & a drift session
I have also been offered a camping ground for people to camp out on on sat night, if you would like to do this please let me know, im sure a lot will
Also if people want photo's of there cars & a dvd of the day im looking at having a photographer there so please let me know if that would be of interest to you
as a general rule Winton put 20-30 cars on the track per session with out any problems & well spread out on their fun days, by request we have been asked to do smaller sessions so we will be looking at 10-15 cars on the track at a time, thats even more room for mistakes
here is the Winton track & map

I will also have a bbq running all day
a D.J out on the grass area
& am looking at having a band or 2 there as well
so pretty much (i hope) everything you would need or want for a great party things you would need a car to drive around the track in
a helmet
long sleeve top, pants & shoes
& $110 for the whole day plus fuel
If you dont hold a current L2 cams licence or a AASA licence you will need an extra $50 on the day
I will need a minimum of 60 people to make this possible so please let all your mates know
[b]I would also need an $110 deposit as soon as possible to cover the deposit of the track.
Please deposit to

Hope to hear from you asap so I can secure a booking.

now i need to know who is in.
please let me know if your not on the list
do you need any license?
no you dont, this is not a CAMS event nor is it a AASA event
how many cars will be on the track at one time?
i am looking to do it in the same way as winton do the fun days so up to 30 on the track BUT we will also be doing smaller sessions
will there be alcohol at the event?
NO none at all, those with alcohol will be asked to leave the track. simple
As mentioned on the MCCA forums, my dad is a definite yes.
Owen Rackham and Phil for the list (I'm there, dad isn't). _________________ Rotaries, Pistons, where's dessert? Oh, my Turbo, that's where dessert went.
