randall Posted 7August, 2013 Report Share Posted 7August, 2013 Tempting. Is the Symmons Plains just an open track day or have you booked the track for exclusive use? CAMS licence sufficient to get on the track? Any idea of the total cost? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAMS licence sufficient to get on the track? Any idea of the total cost? Thanks Don't quote me but from what I heard about $130 for a full private group day, fill out & sign basic cams forms. You will need to have drivers side secured fire extinguisher and a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caver Posted 8August, 2013 Report Share Posted 8August, 2013 Ummmmmm......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randall Posted 8August, 2013 Report Share Posted 8August, 2013 Mark/Jim, So it is limited to 16 cars but not necessarily 16 people? As in we can bring along our wife/girlfriend (probably best to only bring one of them) or a mate? Either way I'd like to put my hand up for this. Ummmmmm......... It will be a lonely drive down to Mexico, would be good to have company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 8August, 2013 Report Share Posted 8August, 2013 Randal, just saw your post. Is that a yes for you? It has been discussed and agreed that it is best to have drivers only as it will not be fair to passengers going through the lengthy twistie roads which will most likely bring on severe motion sickness. Four more are coming, so now we have 12 cars & drivers confirmed. Only 4 places left. There will be a good mix of exotic cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randall Posted 8August, 2013 Report Share Posted 8August, 2013 Randal, just saw your post. Is that a yes for you? Yep, that is a "yes" from me. I hope my poor old 3.2 will not get the inferiority complex trying to keep up with the exotic cars in the group. On the note of motion sickness in the twisties it has crossed my mind to ask do they have unmarked speed cameras in Tassie like what you guys have in Vic?

On the note of motion sickness in the twisties it has crossed my mind to ask do they have unmarked speed cameras in Tassie like what you guys have in Vic? I was in Tassie this year for the Targa Tas & yes they have mobile cameras on tripods, very hard to spot, worst one I saw at the 2012 Targa was the camera sticking out of a hedge! Didn't see any fixed cameras from memory although seems even the 4wd Landcruiser cop cars have radars. Also they use bog standard Falcons as HWP, saw about 4 of those at close range at the start of some of the stages, very very hard to see at a distance. Good luck & great roads.

Great to have you on board, you will fit in just fine and your car will be a wonderful addition to the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
