It's purely to allow comparisons. That's it. That and for if you drive your car from Darwin to Tasmania that you don't crack the shits you "lost 50RWKW" In reality you might be up or down power elsewhere at that single point in time, but if you hold intake temp constant along with the pressure and humidity, you will make the same power no matter where you are.

Don't even joke about it... I don't want to push it on a trailer...

You don't have a roof? Your hair goes frizzy? Also, just a note guys, each car will have to pay $11 on the day to enter the park.

Dave, I'd avoid setting a dead line. You'll only rush something and not be happy with it. As to the rust, that reminds me I have some surface rust in that area I need to deal with in mine too.

No, it's at Church Point Reserve on Pitt Water Road. IE: here

If insurance isn't due for 2 weeks, don't worry about it. Just claim. Depending on the insurer they will have chosen places to go.

Ha ha ha, yeah yeah, I know Brad... I need a spare weekend, which I think will be the 27th of March if you're around. Can bring her up then.

Go back through the thread...

The fact the commentators announce the accident happened under safety car while they were still clearing an accident on another corner. The differentiation doesn't need to be made by CAMS. They are a motor sport governing body, and insurer. The differentitation is made by the people running the event. IE, Skylines Australia NSW. Taking point, that from all of the information that I have, there hasn't been a single accident like this at an SAU Day in over 9 years screams how safe these events truly are. We enforce people to not overtake (Except the quickest group, as this is normally filled with racing drivers), unless the leading car instructs them to do so, or you are on the main straight. There is strict enforcement of no actual racing, and if people find each other "closed up" on another car, they are encouraged to do a "drive through" of pit lane to put them some distance behind the other car. Out of all of the track days run by clubs, SAU:NSW brings the largest variety of track experience, from complete noobies, to circuit racing champions. (And I mean proper trophy awarded champions) On another note, there are many replies in this thread, especially from those that weren't there, or have never been on this track that show they have no clue on the art of circuit racing, and in particular the circuit of Wakefield Park, other wise they'd realise why Erics car was in such a position, at such a speed, with no way of seeing Richard. (Just look at how far from the left the car comes... Eric runs a wide angle lens on his camera... Those who can tell where he is in pit entry realise that from the apex his car is at a 90 degree angle... IE, view out the mirrors of said incoming car is IMPOSSIBLE) Those attacking said business which owns the car, need to stop attacking it, at the same time, this said business needs to walk away from "the argument" as they are being just as bad as said non-attendees. And at the same time, those of you who have said Richard should have turned away, well pretty much from just after initial turn in... He was commited, that car was going where it went. What everyone needs to do, is stop arguing about the blame, and actually realise thats whats done is done, and this incident will only help SAU:NSW make our track days even safer then what they now are. And if you check our track record for incidents... That's a pretty impressive feat! Please, those that can help Eric in his bad situation, through lending a hand, to help him part the car if need be, through to even putting him in contact with people who would be interested in the vehicle, please, do so, but please, no more arguing.

Greg, as has been stated there are HUGE differences between motor sport, and racing for position, and our track days. In fact, as they stated that they were under SAFETY CAR in that IPRA race, I'm curious as to why there was so much hard acceleration and cars side by side/overtaking. Also, in certain motorsport events, there are further penalties and things that go on behind the scenes that we as fans, don't hear as much of. I do also know of an event that ended up with a car being paid for by the other team to be repaired, under a CAMS sanctioned event. Why? Because said driver knew he was the cause, and felt obliged to fix the car. Unfortunately, people don't like parting with their money until they are forced to. Hence why, even when we're on the road there are people, who have accidents, and try to find every way possible out of having to pay for a car they've run into. And I haven't read the waiver in quite a long time, but I believe the waiver only clears you from sueing Wakefield Park. But even any good (And even most of the bad lawyers) will tell you that the waiver isn't worth the paper it's written on. What people though need to understand when reading this thread, is that while accidents do happen they are EXTREMELY RARE on Track Days, and even RARER on SAU Track Days. They are THE safest way to learn your own driving ability, and your own cars ability.

Will try get one tomorrow for you. I went to do it yesterday and forgot to take the keys to the car with me to my sisters. -
I haven't had a single incident yet while I've been towing... Although Dad has borrowed a car trailer before, and while reversing it into our industrial width driveway... Takes the brick letter box out... This was only a few months after he had freshly stencil creted the whole driveway... It left some awesome marks in the driveway... His second incident in reversing in the driveway, was with a BRAND NEW plant trailer... He'd owned it for 30 minutes... Reversed it into the concrete wall on the other side of the driveway... Which had been freshly cement rendered and painted 6 months earlier... LOL We've had some of our family companies plant trailers snap axles while driving. Brake systems fail. People do stupid shit in front of us etc ending in truck/trailer jack knifed... Also one of the events I was involved in, was finding out what happens when a tow kneck wears, at the point where it goes onto the tow ball... Loading one of the machines onto the trailer, machine weighs 1.5tonnes... Halfway up the ramps and suddenly we have a tilt trailer... And a tow ball through the back tail gate of the truck... What made it "more fun" was being parked on the nice downhill run we were on... Basically had to lock the brakes on on the trailer, drive the truck forward, and VERY SLOWLY reverse the machine so the trailer came down slowly... Was an interesting experience...
