Wakefield's got plenty of wide open spaces and runoff. Pretty safe, but the new kerbs are a fit higher and tend to throw you offline a bit more apparently if you're not careful

alright guyses. i have about 5 cars apart from you guys who are keen to come in december some time. the cost is...
Speed off the Street Days (Open Practice)

* $110.00 for the day (cars) & $120.00 for the day (bikes - weekdays) $140 for the day (bikes - weekends & public holidays)
* $50.00 for a Wakefield Clubcomp Licence valid for 12 months
* Helmet hire available for $20 per day with a $50 Deposit

Track Pricing for 2008

* Saturdays $4,600
* Sundays $4,800 (and public holidays)
* Weekdays $3,500
* Any CAMS events will attract a $500 levy which will be charged in addition to the circuit hire.
* Insurance cover is mandatory AASA Permit $800
* Ambulance $550 per day
* Track Marshal $280
* Control Tower $200 per day
* There are other options on standby eg water truck, witches hats. Phone for details and costs.

i guess some of the options we wont need. we could probably do out own timing but a marshal and ambulances are probably a good idea. how does a week day suit? alot of you people have real jobs so this is where i need your feedback.
also... how many cars do you think we should take? it could work out quite expensive. unless you just wanted to go down on a speed off the streets day?
saturdays are offlimits though
