Re: Official 2011 BMWSG Sepang Track Day thread
I have no problems with that. Reduces my workload.
My concern is only if these regular bookings exceed or are close to 40. Then we will not be able to achieve our objective of introducing more newbies and BMW enthusiasts from the forum to the sport.
I have another radical idea. Let's say the regular block bookings get close to 40. And I can start another thread soon to establish and gauge this number with regulars' commitment. Then we can book another say 3-5 more track days, close in date to the 6 TDs that we are deciding to confirm for 2012 now, and then have another team from BMWSG to manage. We can share resources like booking deposits, logistics know-how, goodwill relationship with sepang, etc, and then have enough track days and slots to be inclusive of everyone, making this a more newbie-centric, friendly track day. We can then cap this at 40 also. Therefore, same cost.
Without over-demand, we will not need to go through the hassle of a booking rush, payment rush, go through a hit-miss anguish registration, and registration will be final, and I will not need to do rollovers or refunds, which take up quite a lot of time and energy. BMWSG will still make sure this is non-profit, or make just enough to cover organiser's petrol cost (otherwise nobody wants to volunteer).
If there is anyone interested to take this up, in terms of management, then we can decide before november, and start to book for next year. It will likely to be weekday slots though. Coz these seem like the only slots left. How? A BMWSG TD B-spec. Focusing on newbies and instruction. Low speed differentials, safety-centric. Friendly environment. Race queens wearing only body paint.

If someone is willing to manage this B-spec trackday series, I'm sure you'd be able to fill the slots, looking at the huge demand for BMW trackdays as it is now. Especially so with the introduction of body painted race queens!

Re: Official 2011 BMWSG Sepang Track Day thread
We have from my records 34 cars that turned up (there might be more due to latecomers which is not reflected). There were also some 1-to-1 replacements but the overall amount collected will remain the same.
However I have 40 payments which I will enter accordingly.
Brought fwd from Sep 3 TD: S$4783 + RM4564
Received from Dec10 registration: 40 x S$195 + 4 x S$45 = S$7980
Paid for track booking: S$3883.70 (This is RM9000, which is the balance payment because we had a RM9000 deposit)
Paid for 2012 track booking deposit: S$4315.23 (this is RM10,000, which is the deposit the club will pay for our 2012 bookings)
Closing balance for 2011: S$4564 + RM4564
What an amazing coincidence. Can buy 4D?
