• Track will be closed for Painting and final finishing touches.

• Pit areas will be marked, denoting positioning of gazebos

 

Wednesday 29th Oct:

• Track should be mostly open for a play, but there will a lot of prep going on including scaffolding and fencing installations - so please be aware of this activity and follow direction from the organisers for track and surrounding availability during the day.

 

Thursday 30th Oct: VB4.0 STARTS!!!

• Gazebos and Pit setup.

• Track is open for practice, except the activities noted on the schedule including a Tamiya Parade to give our respect and remember Shunsaku Tamiya, The Hornet EVO 'shenanigans' and the 1989 Worlds A-final Revival practice.

 

 

Security:

• Thurs/Fri/Sat nights 6pm to 6am there will be a dedicated security guard on site.

• There will be temporary fencing erected around the pitting area. Leaving your expensive belongings overnight is still AT YOUR OWN RISK - noting it's still an open/public area in Knox, and not Fort-Knox!

 

Food/Drinks:

• The Gourmet Café led by Neil Hitman will have cold drinks and BBQ brekky and lunch.

• Coffee/Snacks Van: Thurs-thru-Sunday inclusive --> there will be a coffee/food van (same as VB3.0) on site for the duration of the event (except Friday arvo). They will set up and be ready to inject delicious coffee into your veins from about ~8-ish each morning.

 

Weather

• The weather has been ordered from the weather service for mid to high 20's each day and some very small/light showers during the night to settle the track and ensure it's #majestic for the following day.

 

Drivers' Briefings

• There will be a gathering for a drivers' briefing on Thursday and Friday (times tba) to cover the key event information, schedule, driving/marshalling process and etiquette, Concours D'Elegance, Chonmage etc etc and answer any further questions...

• The schedule is crammed on Sat/Sun and we cannot wait/delay the racing for your incorrect transponder/not~ready issues... Sorry, but this is the only way we give everybody 4 races per class each day with the humungous amazing turn-out!

 

Concours D'Elegance - Friday 31st - 11:30AM

• We REALLY REALLY want to surpass last year's EPIC concours which saw you get 500+ cars side-by-side lining a full lap of the track.

• Please bring ALL your vintage cars out (display and runners) to create an even EPIC-er scene for VB4.0 

• There are no trophies for finishing the races 1st, 2nd 3rd etc...

• ...BUT there are EPIC prizes and trophies for the concours - this is the big one people! You want fame, notoriety and to go down in history for winning the Bash 4.0?? --> the concours is where it's at!
