To all those who want to drive in the dirt this day is for you. The club has hired the Dirt circuit at IWMAC for a full day of fun. This event has been run previously so some of you have been to the event before. For those of you that haven't it is a great day to see if you are interested in driving on the dirt whilst not being an all competitive day.




Option 1 - Cost for the day will be $100 per person

You MUST be a full member of the WRX Club and payment must be received before your name is recorded and place confirmed. You can pay the $100 into the club bank account and then email the Treasurer on email to let them know (NAB, BSB 084423 ACC 699 084 817). Make sure your deposit includes your Name and the Event (DirtDay). You can also pay by cash, credit card or cheque at any Club Meeting.

Gates will open at 8am with the track opening at 9am. Lunch and Drinks will be available at the venue.

The IWMAC (Ipswich West Moreton Auto Club) website has some more info on their regular events as well Click Here

This is a private event which will result in a lot of fun track time for all involved with the focus on enjoyment.

The Basics

* Laps will be starting from a standing start on the starting pad you will be waved on to the track where you will complete 1 standing lap and 4 flying laps (this may be changed throughout the day depending on the general feeling - 5 laps is a good place to start as cars don't get too hot)

* Controlled hot laps will be on ? so if you want to bring people out feel free (they will have to have Helmets, Neck to Wrist to Ankle non flammable clothes)
* There is no need to rush at the start of the day - I can guarantee that there will be times when there is only one car on the track (and some times none) so you will get plenty of lap time
