What are the requirements for Friday night at Calder park? From their website it states that: "All you need is a registered vehicle, helmet, license and a need for speed!"

But I heard someone mention that you might need long sleeve shirts and pants?
Also are they fussy about items in your vehicle? Do I need to clear everything out? e.g. melways, emergency toolkit etc etc....

Not sure about heatcote yet.
I'm just interested to see what my daily driver, with all its gears, will do down the 1/4.

Cheers..
