Track Days
Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2008 1:22 pm
Was looking at doing some track days this year but had a nasty suprise last night.
In previous years Queenland Raceway used to do sprints on Saturday and Wednesday arvo's which only required a track licence I think (Stuart - out there buddy is this right?)
The sprints are recorded times for each class etc but are much like track days in that cars are let out for 5 lap sessions in groups.
Checking the website last night though I've found this year you need a CAMS Prov. Circuit licence or AASA club licence, view below addresses for more info:

So.....Does anyone have one of these licences and how easy hard is to obtain the AASA site doesn't seem real clear to me on what you need to get a club licence, the Licence testing for a club licence seems a little wack to me.
It's been a few years since I've held a racing licence and will be getting at least a 2NS or 2S CAMS licence to do motokhana's and autocrosses in my other car (dirt events) but I've never held a higher licence than that thus the confusion.
Anyone else around the place finding similar things?
Thought this would be a good place to share some info on obtaining licences and stuff for others as well so I'll be sure to post up what I do and please share if you have similar experiences.
