New F3 racer needs VMCC help

[FROSTY]

Hey folks I met a cool young fella today . He's getting into racing gently via the trackday and F3 route.
I'd really like to be able to help him out for his first meeting or two but he's definitely going to be a minefeild rider.
He needs to know how to get club membership and a licence Then just some tips with getting setup in the pits n stuff like that.
Could someone from Vic Club gimme a yeodle please.

Ohh and if ya see the Frosty leathers around the pits worn by a younger better looking fella than me do him a favour and go up n say hi.

Join an MNZ affiliated club (AMCC, VMCC (http://www.vicclub.co.nz), Pacific etc). Get a licence application from MNZ (http://www.mnz.co.nz). Enter an event.

Just tell him to get onto the Vic Club website www.vicclub.co.nz and all the information is on there on how to get Started with Road Racing and also he can down load a Membership Form off there and then once he has become a Member of the Vic Club, he then can send his Membership card along with his payment to MNZ to get his MNZ Race Licence ok?.
Also tell him to come along this weekend to Manfield where he can meet the Vic Club committee and riders who would be more than happy to answer any further questions that he may have. Cheers Sue (Skip) VMCC

I will be out on track in pro twins but am willing to give him advice if need be.

[sharky]

I would offer to help if I had any knowledge worth imparting.:yes:
What number is he anyway?

Sorry Tony, your point wasn't very clear. We are so short handed we don't have any committee members free on a race day. We do our best to help anyone who approaches us though - we want the riders to have fun of course. If he wanders up to anyone wearing a Vic Club jacket (grey and black with Vic Club on the back) or a visi-vest we should be able to help. I can be found in Pit lane most of the time.
What you really need is another experienced rider to help him out.

[FROSTY]

Thanks guys.. Yea would be cool. Might just be this old farts gonna hafta come down and show him how its done. Then he at least will know what NOT to do

[Clivoris]

I can't help with the shit talk, I'm tooooo reeal:woohoo:
However. He might be intrested in this. Please add as you see fit.
Hi Pete.
There is a good thread about getting started on here and on the VMCC site. If you're talking more about what happens at the track it's mostly just a matter of jumping in and giving it a go. Have you done any trackdays?
At a race meeting it's best to get there as early as you can (unless you have booked a garage), gates open around 7. At manfield the early arrivals can get one of the pit stalls for free and there is often space for two bikes in each stall. Then you rock up to sign on to sign in and get your transponder. Riders briefing occurs around 8.30. Mostly we get one practice/qualifying session then wait around to see how we qualified. Then you pick up a sticker to put on the front of the bike and work out where you are going to be placed on the starting grid. We get 3 calls to the dummy grid/staging area then it's out for a warm up lap, grid up and wait for the start lights to light up, then go out, then you're racing. Most racers are very helpful and friendly on the day, so introduce yourself to the people around you. Are you racing this weekend? Come up and say gidday. I am on #145 in the scrutineering shed. If we had space I would invite you in to point you in the right direction but it honestly wont take you long to get some help. If you aren't racing this weekend it might be worth coming along to say gidday and have a look. Top marks for giving it a go mate.
