If you arrange to head off early enough on the Sunday, I might join you for the drive up there and then head back to Melbourne after an early dinner. Sounds like MissyK might be up for that as well.

This is sounding more and more like a mini Victorian Nats 
Hopefully we can make this a more regular event and do a few times a year. After all next time it will just be the track fee and really around $200 is pretty bloody good value for that amount of fun. Certain establishments will charge you more than that for an hour so I'm told 
Counting the sleeps already!

OK, I am back. And I am terribly confused.
First and foremost, I am not trying to offend anyone, **** anyone off, start crap or get into an us V's them flame war, however this was a day for the benefit of RX8 owners (Stu you still hold honorary status ;-)) and we will only have 16 places for this first day (yes I am planning more once this one is done).
To date, the followng owners have said they wish to come:
Andrew.
Astro.
ILIV48.
8000 rpm.
Atridge.
Taka.
MiRX*8
Glenn.
xatnep
Brewer
rxate
As a favour to Taka I am including whtdc2.
The following non rx-8 owners have also voiced interest (Flameboy, I am assuming you are in contact with all of these guys?):
Flameboy - EXE SP23 - im in no matter what
Jaush (ozmazdaclub)
Sheepo (ozmazdaclub)
mark - EXE RX7- im in no matter what
awhar3 (ozmazdaclub)
Paul - EXE DC5R
Quiee - EXE DC2R
Josh - EXE EG6 siR
Novi - EXE Jazz
Costs for the day are:
Track Hire: $3500
Emergency Service: $300
Photography: $600
Total: $4400
Per Person: $275
Optional timing transponders: $15
NOTE: I am still clarifying but I believe the ASSA license (and subsequent fee) is not required as we are not competing.
For the rx-8 owners, I will appreciate if you could P.M. me for bank account details and get me a $50 deposit by this Monday (16th January). From there I will move on the deposit for the remaining places with the non owners.

hi andrew....
thx for organising this.... but if you only have 16 places, is that mean only 4 of us from this list:
Flameboy - EXE SP23 - im in no matter what
Jaush (ozmazdaclub)
Sheepo (ozmazdaclub)
mark - EXE RX7- im in no matter what
awhar3 (ozmazdaclub)
Paul - EXE DC5R
Quiee - EXE DC2R
Josh - EXE EG6 siR
Novi - EXE Jazz
(and as far as im concern, this list is confirmed list not only interested)
if only 4 from that list can get in, then i rather not splitting them up.... and you can go ahead with your track day.... ^_^
of course i'll ask the guys from ozmazdaclub on my list (the non-EXE) whether they want to join the rx8s or stick with us....
in that case, i'll organise another day for the rest of this guys then... i just think next time you better set the number at the first time, and let us know that this is RX8 priority...
i think this is all just a misunderstanding.... i PM taka few weeks ago to ask about organising track day.... at that time i was half way organising it with heather from winton racetrack... (remember the Email i forward to you and taka?) and since rx8 club is also organising it, i was thinking it will be good to merge since u guys only have 7 ppl on the list at that time...
well.. then, i'm sorry for any interuption that we may have caused... anyway hope in the future we have a chance to get together...
regards,
Silas

No Problems Silas. At the moment there are 4 spots open that you can use if you want. It may grow, it may shrink.
After this day we will definately know if 20 would be possible at Winton.
