Sau Nsw Official Track Day Is Coming

[Duncan]

wilch...the easiest way is to pull the bolt out that holds the back seat down on the passenger side...then put the extinguisher bracket there and put the bolt back through it.

that or just drill through the passenger floor, the holes are tiny you would never see them.

the bracket method needs a piece of metal as wide as the seat mounting bolts...take the seat bolts out and put the bracket under them, then seat bolts back in. Rivet the extinguisher bracket to the metal

Ok i am heading down to this one for sure! Adam happy to chuck a flag out if required!!

[Beer Baron]

BWA you need $85 for the licence and $29 for the extinguisher.

Yes we do need them Mr Baron and there is no requirement for metal brackets.

thanks for clearing that up. sorry for the mislead.

That makes things a bit easier, but for those wishing to use their extinguisher at other cams event my advice would be to go straight for the metal bracket one as all events i've entered require it.

i just got out the extinguisher to take a few pics that may help:

front with extinguisher mounted:

back of bracket (mine is bolted to the bracket)

better view of bracket without extinguisher:

fire rating (the 20 is the cruicial part, the bigger this number the better)

I made my bracket out of aluminium then machined it a little to give it that 'brushed aluminium' look and take off the sharp edges. one of the holes is elongated to make it easier to bolt down. because the floor is not flat it has a slight bow in it when done up tight.

Thanks for the photos Beer Baron .

Abobob do the extinguishers come with the 2 screws and nuts to bolt down the holding bracket with? Or should I buy some before the day?

[Abo Bob]

I've used 2 cable ties and put two grooves in the bracket to put them in. Works awesomely.

Is there anything they can't do?

[Abo Bob]

So Wilch, I just realised that you seem to be expecting me to bring an extinguisher with me. I never got a reply from BWA to confirm this.

Can you please confirm your understanding of this? you could email me on bob at estc dot net dot au to make my life easier.

Hey guys how do you get there? I dont know the way there..

Anyone wanna help me or let me follow them there?

Not saying that's not a good method at all but thought I'd throw in an alternative.

I got a piece of metal (read: strong) and bent it at a 90 degree angle kind of an "L" shape. Long ways I've mounted the fire extinguisher on and the shorter side I've rivetted into the back of the console box in the rear. Basically where the drivetrain tunnel is between the 2 passenger footwells. Works great and keeps it out of the way of passengers in daily traffic mode.

I'd also like to say STAY AWAY FROM CHEAP ASSED FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.. Please. I bought a Chubb because I trust the name. I bought a 2 pack of fire extinguishers before this one only when I needed it BOTH FAILED (bought from a cheapo repco type store for $30 for the pair)... Beware!!

That's probably the only situation I'd not use zip ties in just incase in impact they're gonna let go. Certain angles they love to snap (hence why they're suited to holding on my front bar haha)... Then again I spose you've probably thoguht of this already and got a few on there holding them from different angles

Question on passengers. Yes or No? If there's a drift session would love to take my gf.

[d00dz]

What time does it start? ie. what time should i get there?

[Silver-Arrowz]

doodz, where do you live?

agreed, like i said, i've used a few and some are very lame. the BFI one i posted above is the only one i buy now for use in my car. seen one of them in use before and it's awesome. minimum dischage time is 13secs too.

having said all that, i would be very surprised if any of you guys ever need one. it doesnt happen very often.

[sindows]

Adam,

What time do participants need to get there?

My breaks are a little spungy after putting the new pads on...

[sindows]

Also is anyone comming from out west.. like penrith or mt druitt?

So i can follow them?

[d00dz]

Foud out how to get there now so it should be ok.

Just gotta figure out what time people will be there..

From the City of Sydney

Take the Eastern Distributor past Sydney Airport to the M5 motorway. Follow the M5 to the Camden Valley Way exit. 

Follow Camden Valley way to Cobbitty Road, turn right into Cobbitty Road and the Cobbitty Road entrance is less than 5 minutes away.



From the Western Suburbs

Take the M4 to the Northern Road exit and follow Northern Road to Oran Park Raceway. Oran Park Raceway is about 25 minutes from the Northern Road exit of the M4.



From North of Sydney

Exit the Northern Freeway at Hornsby and follow the pacific Highway into the city, Take the Sydney Harbour Tunnel and follow the directions from the City of Sydney.



From South of Sydney

The easiest way is to find the M5 and take the M5 to the Camden Valley Way Exit as described above.

I just got the email from Nathan from RENEW.. I was wondering about the CAMS licences... Are we supposed to sort these out directly with cams to get the licence, or are we able to do this on the day or something? I've already submitted these forms to Abo Bob. Are you submitting these for us, or should we bring copies on the day?

I have a mental checklist of stuff to bring, please let me know if I'm missing something:

- Helmet

- CAMS Licence Application Form

- RENEW/Oran Park Track Day Entry Form

- Mounted Fire Extinguisher

- Tools/Oil/Maintenance stuff

- Long clothing/Leather shoes

- Car!

[OZ GTR35]

Fatz,

OK easy run down on how to get to Oran Park.

People North of the bridge, simply head city way and go tunnel & Eastern Distributer.

People other side of bridge you simply follow the ED out towards the airport and continue to follow it until u reach a tunnel that literally goes under a runway.

Be in the left hand lanes thru this tunnel as once u get out the other side the road will split into 2.

One will go off to the Right signed for Canberra, you NEED to take the LEFT exit heading for Liverpool.

Now just follow this road for ages. It will turn into a freeway just after the King Georges Rd exit.

Follow the freeway for a good few km's. Now once u hit to toll booth's, it is the 4th exit on the left (Camden Valley Way EXIT), but it is actually called BEECH RD exit (same thing).

Take this and chuck a left @ the lights then u get to an intersection about 200m's up the road called "The Crossroads'.

Turn RIGHT at these lights and this is Camden Valley Way. Follow it for a long long time...maybe 20 mins. Once you get to the other side of a suburb called Catherine Fields its not far. Cobbity Road is on your right.

Pretty Easy really!

So what time are people turning up??
