Snow, who would have thought!

meat pie and sauce?? blood pudding? haggis? hmm actually that would all be the same thing

well life wasn't meant to be boring.. Plus I've had about double the time of some of you guys,

tell me you weren't at Sporting shooters ass like the one opposite sandown. as that is not real target shooting, just ppl practicing to go hunting. real target shooting is much more accurate and difficult. I remember ppl coming in from SSAA adn even worse army they see what we werer doing and go very pale. Full bore is a target approx 1.8 *2.54 meters with a bulls eye of about 50cm with iron sights at 900 meters..

Full bore the best fun, but for target ammo expect 1$ or more a round little cheaper for practise plus you ahve to travel long ways to get to the venues, but the rifles are the cheapest small bore is much easier to start with and the skills transfer across air rifle is gay Pistol is a royal PIA to get a license and keep it. expect many random visits from cops at strange hours to check on them but find a club close check tey have club rifles and gear and go try it

Melb Uni. was 15 or so years ago, and they disbanded since. what you looking to get into?

not so much now but ex president of a target rifle club..

i'm happy to take both cars around a track at speed to test"seat brackets" just sayin

some ppl ahve tried to put a mental block on that.. thanks for the reminder

So Cops are trained to be official estimators of speed. you will need hard proof that you were not doing what they said. we have a well respected officer on here who has confirmed this. if your planning on taking it to court you def need more than just your word v his. now that said, get a lawyer and use him to put in a plea that you were doing 10-15 not 40 and you might get it reduced. but you best have a good driving history for them to do that.

yeah searched though all the threads I could look for, think it in a deca thread somewhere, but it an animated gif so impossible to find on youtube or some crap. oh well.

Track Etiquette Passing It is the obligation of the passer (faster car) to make the pass. Do not erratically brake or move off the racing line without first signalling to the faster vehicle behind you. Signaling If you want a faster vehicle to pass you, signal with a clear hand pointing to the side on which you wish to be passed. If you want them to pass on the left, then signal over the roof of your vehicle. Do not use indicators to signal passing. Flag Signals Flags will be used at designated points around the circuits. The yellow flag signals a situation of danger ahead. Drivers must slow down and show extreme caution. Drivers may not overtake other vehicles until they have passed the green flag. All clear signal. It is used at the end of the danger area controlled by yellow flags. Drivers may continue on at race speed. It can also be used to signal the start of a warm-up lap or practice session. Overtaking signal. The blue flag informs the driver that he is about to overtaken by one or more faster cars. When the flag is waved, it draws the driver’s attention either to the closeness of the car about to overtake him, or to the high speed at which it is approaching. The blue flag can be shown motionless when the faster car is still some distance away but approaching quickly. Stopping the race. The red flag will be shown at all posts on the circuit when the Clerk of the Course has decided to stop the race or practice session due to a hazard effecting the course. All drivers must stop racing immediately and proceed to the pit area. Drivers must exercise extreme caution and being prepared to stop if necessary and be aware of the possability of support vehicles on the track. Return to the pit area. The black flag is usually shown at the Start / Finish line by the Clerk of Course or his marshal. The flag will be shown whilst your vehicle is being pointed at. This informs the driver they must return to the pit area immediately and report to the Clerk of Course. Denotes end of session. Use the remaining lap to cool the car and return to the pit area.

A tire graded 200 would wear twice as long on the government test course under specified test conditions as one graded 100. Traction - Traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C. They represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. Traction Grades Asphalt (g force) Concrete (g force) AA - Above 0.54 - Above 0.41 A - Above 0.47 - Above 0.35 B - Above 0.38 - Above 0.26 C - Less Than 0.38 - Less Than 0.26 Temperature - The temperature grades, from highest to lowest, are A, B and C. These represent the tire's resistance to the generation of heat Temperature Grades Speeds (in mph) A - Over 115 B - Between 100 to 115 C - Between 85 to 100

Information for Beginners Personal Requirements - Safety helmet (AS1698 standard) in good condition (ie. free of dents and scratches). - Gloves are optional. - Leather or suede footwear must completely cover the foot and be firmly fitted. No sandals or thongs allowed. - Driver apparel must cover the body from ankle to neck including up to the wrists. Long sleeved and flame-resistant clothing is mandatory. Wool is best but cotton overalls or trousers and shirts are also suitable. Race-type overalls are not necessary. Driver Training - Is not absolutely required, but SAU recommends you make your first track day a driver training day. There is a lot to take in and you wont post a quick time on your first outing. Driver training sessions won't be timed and you will only be on the track with other driver training vehicles. You will have the chance to have an instructor with you, this will typically be another club member who has some track experience. Driver training costs slightly less than the normal sprint days (You wont get to compete in the super sprints at the end of the day) If you choose to 'not' do driver training as your first event, just place yourself in a slow group and spent the first half of the day following slower cars and learning the racing lines before trying to go off on your own and improve times. Phillip Island Sprints: You can do driver training at Phillip Island as your first event, and if your instructor believes you are skilled enough he can allow you to participate in sprints after speaking to the clerk of course and making that recomendation. If Phillip Island is your first 'sprint' event you will need to provide details of an advanced driver training certificate. Vehicle Requirements - Fire Extinguisher (AS1841, AS1846 or AS1848, Minimum of 900grams) Securely fastened with a metal bracket and reachable by the driver from the drivers seat. - Valve Caps (Preferably metal) - Boot / Cockpit - Must be free from all loose articles - Headlights - Any forward facing glass must be covered by tape or contact (This only effects R31 and R32's in the Skyline Range) - Roll Cages - Must be CAMS approved - Bonnet Catches - All rear-hinged bonnets must have an additional independent non-flexible strap fitted. Permanent straps/pins attached to the bonnet are not necessary. It is acceptable to tie the bonnet down with light rope. Bonnet Pins are also accepted.
