When is the next winton day, it the the one that is on the same day as the Island?

Yeah, the same weekend but the track intro day is on the Saturday while they are holding a PIARC sprint on Sunday (same as Winton VSSC). I'm pulling my Winton entry - the flu has left me as the living dead for now & I have no idea when I will recover.

Here's some pics and video from the FFCC vs HSCCV (& G5) Sprints at Sandown on Sunday.

Getting a piece made up to hold the fire extinguisher in front of the passenger seat using the seat rail bolts but have to go buy the fire extinguisher first. I know it needs to use a metal bracket but Supercheap has 750g and 1kg ones.

SCA Fire Extinguisher - 1kg, Home & Vehicle, Metal Mounting Bracket - Supercheap Auto Australia
Fire Box Fire Extinguisher - 750g - Supercheap Auto Australia

My brake bits shipped out yesterday apparently so might be able to get onboard sooner! Just gotta decide what club I'm gonna join.

Minimum size of extinguisher is 900 grams.

CAMS schedule H refers.

Applicable Australian Standards are also listed.

We could have a "Basic track day prep" meeting sometime where the old hands can guide the newbies on exactly what's needed and how to most easily do it.

Thanks Pete, that narrows it down nicely.

A stickied post in this forum would be a good start

Emptying car of crap
Checking pressures, brakes, oil, general stuff
Tape/Contact headlights (still a requirement?)
Fit tow hooks?
Battery position sticker
Secondary bonnet retention mechanism

Making your list is pretty straightforward.

I was more thinking about showing what is involved in implementing things like the secondary bonnet retention system, fire extringuisher brackets, even help on rear seat removal.
