[VIC] H Nationals 2013 - Saturday 20th April - Winton Raceway
Fellow forum member Mugsee and I have taken on the mantle of organising the event this year. The date has been booked for Honda Nationals 2013, so if you have a Honda and are keen to get out on the tight and technical Winton Raceway then start getting ready for what we hope will be a great event for all Honda enthusiasts. All are welcome, so come along and support your mates and the community even if you aren't hitting the track.
When: Saturday 20th April 2013
Where: Winton Motor Raceway
Who: Anyone with a Honda
The day will be run in an open lapping format, with 5 run groups and rotating sessions.
There will be a class system in a similar vein to previous events, details will be released closer to entries opening. The focus of the day is not competition though , the idea is to get everyone out to enjoy their Hondas with likeminded enthusiasts in a safe and social environment.
Entries will open 3 months before the event, on the 20th of January 2013. So mark the date in your diaries, start putting your car back together and we hope to see you there.
We'll be updating this thread with new information leading up to entries opening, or just check the facebook page HERE for the latest.

Entries
Entry form: LINK (will open at 9PM tonight)
Entries will be accepted in order of receipt. No more than 65 entries will be accepted, entries in excess of this number will be placed on the waiting list and offered a place in order if other entrants fail to confirm their places or drop out. At this stage we are accepting entries from Honda vehicles only.
Once you have sent in your entry an email will be sent to you including payment details within 2 days, from the date of this email you will have 10 days to make payment. Once we've received your payment you'll get a second email confirming your place. Leading up to the day if you can no longer take part in the day please let us know immediately so we can fill your spot. Places cannot be transferred to a friend, your place will go to the next person on the waiting list. If you want two people to drive a car in separate sessions (ie. twice as much track time) then you must put in an entry for each driver.
A $80 penalty will apply if you pull out of the track day within 2 weeks of the event (April 6th), no refund will be given if you pull out of the day within 5 days of the event (April 15th) regardless of whether we find a replacement for your place.

Classing
Michael and I are still fine tuning the classing system, we hope to have the system available soon. Expect a similar system to previous years, we'll be working hard to ensure that each entrant has a class that their car will fare well in. Remember that the day is not a race though, the focus is on participation and enjoyment.
