Hi there all
AROCA is planning a Circuit Training day at Winton for the start of 2009.
Tentatively, it will be on Saturday 28 Feb followed with a sprint day on Sunday 1 March.
The Circuit Training is aimed at the new and novice drivers or drivers wanting some instructions on how to go around a circuit smoothly and fast. There will be lots of track time with an instructor on board as well as theory and car dynamics sessions.
There will also be a driver training and junior session for the junior or beginner drivers, this session is aimed at people wanting some brake and swerve exercises and other defensive techniques. There will be lots of practical exercises.
Please register your interest with me.
Regards
Neil

Hi there all,
Just to let people know that there is now significant interest from both instructors and participants, we just have to locked down the date (which will be in a week or two).
So keep the interest coming in.
Neil
Hi all,
I understand Neil is no longer looking after this event, can someone please shed some light how to register interest in participating in the circuit training?
Thanks

Gary Pearce for Race Craft & Ashlee Young for Junior Driver Training please Barry.
If Gary's doing racecraft ... I had better to, count me in.
If anyone is game to sit in the car with me after Sandown's effort i'll be in on the racecraft!
Hey Brad, I only signed up because I saw the instructors.
That's me on the left at the front - it's amazing how good I look in a tank top...
Yeah, l like you with longer hair Scott- but an Audi tanktop ? Have you turned?
Brett, great eye for detail...but get your eyes checked your looking at the wrong things
Thats funny, I thought these were the instructors. Is that you on the left still Scott?
Admitidly I didn't notice it was an Audit top......
And yes that's me on the left - I really don't suit those overalls.....
Hi,
Just wondering who i need to contact regarding participating in the driver training?
Thanks
Domenic
Hey Domenic
Contact Barry Edmunds, he posted in about the 3rd or 4th post in this thread, requesting that all queries go to him. He didn't post his email address, but if you click on his name it will take you to a screen which will show you his email address.
Hope this helps

If Gary and Biggus are going to be there, I had better show up as well.
Biggus needs tuition on how do overtake a burgundy 105, without ending up 20m off the track.
Is there an update on if the event is still on?
Barry you around?? Can you shed some light on what's happening as I'm still interested in participating.
Thanks
Domenic
a bit off topic but is that avater pic appropriate dom? i mean i like it but maybe others dont?
Dom
I'm with David; I think that pic should be replaced with something a little more appropriate, like a 75 at full opposite lock in the hands of a crazy pom at the ring.
The Circuit Training and Junior Driver Training day at Winton on Feb 28 is still on. I am just waiting on approval of the Supp Regs and the entry form and supp regs will be posted on the Club web site. Hopefully be week's end.
Closing date for both is Friday Feb 20. Only accepting 20 entries for each activity so get in quick.

Yeah same here but looks like youve changed it !
yeh i did change it,
i felt bad because dave and barry have a point, but if no one is offended by it then I'll put it back
Dom
The replacement is much better
Barry
any update on if it's still going ahead??
where can i get the entry forms from?? at least I'll know if i need to get the car ready or not in this heat.
Domenic
Entry form and supp regs due to be posted on the Club site any day now. Just been waiting on approval from Winton and permit #.
Don't bother about the heat, it is all just a stae of mind over matter.
Barry
Here are the entry forms and supp regs as supplied by Barry.
cheers,
Evan.
Barry
My brother is a member of the fiat car club and he was wondering if he is allowed to enter the driver training event? or is it just for AROCA members?
Dom the replacement is alot better. i mean if you were becoming hard pressed finding a pic, im sure i, or anyothers would happily donate a pic of our own cars. lmao
Quote3.45pm till 5.00 pm Afternoon practice available to all competitors. No Passengers allowed.
Practice is available to all parties, (Cost $35) who hold a current AASA Level 2 Licence (or higher).
All participants of this session are at the discretion of the Event Director.
A $15 fee will apply to those competitors who participated in the Circuit Training Day.
From the supp regs - does this mean as I suspect it does, that anyone who is heading up for the sprint on Sunday can get a few practice laps in on the Saturday afternoon?
Hey Barry,
Did you get my entry forms??
Just wondering if details have been sent out to successful entrants?
I received email from Neil re the sprint day but have heard nothing about the driver training day.
Domenic and Alan
Your entries were received. Everything on track (no pun intended) for you on Saturday.
See you at Winton 8am Saturday morning.
Barry
Grr, friday at work can't go quickly enough, I want to be driving up to Benalla now!
The 105 is ready to go thanks to Bruno, let's hope the driver is :).
My partner Sarah will be up with me, taking some pics as I am doing a review of my first time on track in the Alfa for the Cross & Serpent. So make sure you wave as you pass me on the track!
