Merli Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Since Motoconcepts are pretty much finished with car events, I guess we'll have to organise our own. What I propose is that everyone goes and gets their CAMS C3 licence through an accredited CAMS licencer such as Peter Finlays, Ian Luff or anyone else who is able to carry out the C3 Observed Licence Test (OLT)... After you have recieved your CAMS licence, you are able to rock up and participate at any of the private practice days at Oran Park, Wakefield or Eastern Creek for a reduced cost!! Private Practice days at Eastern Creek are only $70 for ARDC members and $105 for non-members... Much cheaper than Motoconcepts if you're an ARDC member! ARDC Information - http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.com/ardc.htm Eastern Creek Private Practice Days - http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.com/calendars.htm#Private Practice Calendar://http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.co...actice Calendar://http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.co...actice Calendar://http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.co...actice Calendar Wakefield Park Events Calendar - http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au/site/event...events_calendar Oran Park - http://www.oranpark.com/ N.B. You *NEED* your CAMS C3 or better licence to participate at these "Private Practice" days.

Duncan Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 Hi Guys, we as a club certainly need to get some track days together. Another idea is to run club level events, eg Honda club hire Wakefield twice a year for open practice. We just need to check the requirements and numbers to make our money back. Another cheaper option than C3 license is C2/club level licenses. With these we can take part in supersprints (timed track laps) and hillclimbs. Open practice can be good, I've done a few, but you are mixed in with whatever is running that day, eg last time I was out I was mixing it with sport sedans..... The wakefield open practice days don't require license at all..... Has anyone been a member of another club that has had track days?

B-Man Posted February 8, 2003 Share Posted February 8, 2003 If the NSW Club (paid members) can organise a day(s) where those who are interested (like ME) - can get the C3 licence, then I would be in that. How much fun would it be to do this with a bunch of other Lines ?? Maybe we could get a group discount or something along the way. There's no way I am going sit on my arse and not go and enjoy all the mods I've done to my car. So I say let's do it..... Finlay or Luff - which one is better ???

Duncan Posted February 9, 2003 Share Posted February 9, 2003 I've done the racing course with both, and Finlay was far superior. Luff were way too easy on everyone, sort of "yeah that was good, here's your license". Finlay provided much better feedback on what your actually doing wrong. If you want no bullshit, and more constructive criticism, take them. I think Paul may have been speaking to them about running open track days too, perhaps we need to follow this up now Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/10066-motorsports-suggestion/#findComment-158626 Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlo Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Guys... Aaron MCgill is having a Cams license day out at eastern creek on Feb 28th. Aaron is fantasic, I have enjoyed the training I have done with him much more than the other training companies that operate.

Mr Miagi Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I have to agree with Duncan. I did Luffy's course about 7 years ago the first time I got my cams licence.Unfortunalely I let it expire. 2 weeks ago I did Finlays and can definately say that his was the better of the two.

Duncan Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Yes, you can take the "Observed License Test" OLT on its own with CAMS.....but the ppl who do are "apparently" much harder than if you pay up for a two day course You would also need to attend the flags lecture as well. I would strongly suggest doing a course though, you'd have to be a pretty gifted driver if you didn't learn something on a course Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/10066-motorsports-suggestion/#findComment-159681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonad Man Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 G'day Duncan, how's it going? I've done a few open track days at Wakefield with the $20 Wakefield license, but this year I'm getting a CAMS L2S license ($91 and no test necessary). I can then do open practice days with at any Australian track and compete in supersprints and hillclimbs. I just thought this might be an option for people who can't afford the C3 license. Every open track day I've ever done separated the street cars from the race cars, so it wasn't too daunting. Watch out for morons in HSVs, though. One of them tried to push me off the main straight at Wakefield once-a bit scary! I don't think they like being overtaken by cars with less cylinders.

nissaner Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 is that $91 an annual fee? so u have to pay $91 each and every year to renew ur cams licence? what benefits do u get from owning such licence apart from the fact that u can participate in open days?

red900ss Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 The CAMS L2S licence is the one you will be able to get through the club when we get CAMS affiliation. This is why we are going through the hassle and paying the CAMS fee. Then you will be able to attend other Clubs' events and compete. Gonad Man are you sure it entitles you to attend Open practise Days?
