never been on a track before.. what happens if someone bumps my lovely car

or i bump them

[Silver-Arrowz]

You have to be an absolute tool to bump someone and vice versa. The day is pretty much everyone at their own pace and the fast cars seperated from the slower ones. People are pretty much told to move over for faster cars. All the track days I've been to I've never seen an incedent where cars collide, only close ones.

Bonkers, I've been sending you emails all along about extinguishers and the like.

I don't think that's ok yogi. The easiest way I think is to get a strip of aluminium from the hardware store, two holes, one at either end then bolt it to the same holes that your front seat mounts are using. So under your legs.

Then the bracket of the extinguisher bolts to that strip.

I've never seen an accident either. Also we kick the idiots off the track so as not to endanger you.

Yeah thanks Adam. I haven't checked my mail for a couple of days. I'll call you tomorrow to see how you got on at Supercheap.

the only extinguisher in the small size worth buying is made by BFI. it's 1kg empty, 2 kg full. all extinguishers to be used in a cams event need to be metal, at least 1kg and mounted with a metal bracket. the usual torpedo shape ones people use have a fire rating of 5, the BFI ones rating is 20 so it will put out 4 times as much fire. i've shot off a few types and some of them are pathetic, the BFI one is good shit. so my advice is pay a little more and get one that will really save you or your car if needed.

my extinguisher is in the passenger side, near the end of the foot area on the door side, if that makes sense!!

I just had a set of 2nd hand GT3 porche cup slicks fitted to my spare set of GTR rims, although they are suppose to be 240's they only just fit on the 9' rims. Lets see if they last a little longer then the last set of yoka's I had!

eek.. the one I have is mounted with a strong, quick release style plastic bracket.. It's definitely not going anywhere in a hurry, but is easily removed. Is this going to be ok or is it STRICTLY a metal bracket?

[fatz]

silvia is back in sydney

wheel alighnment away form burnouts

[Duncan]

The plastic bracket ones should be OK but next time (!) get a metal bracket it is a problem with some scruitineers.

For those worried about making a hole in the carpet, feel free to check out the Zed's passenger floor....you will never spot where the extinguisher used to be

Lets see what they do to track times first, they they cant be that good, they were given to me for free!

[BWA]

Just wondering how much money we need to bring on the day for CAMS license, extinguisher, etc?

i think we may have gone a little OT here. i havent seen the regs for this event (or even if it has any) so i dont think any extinguisher is required. is it? BUT to answer the question, in nsw super sprint series run under CAMS approval the bracket must be metal, and the extinguisher mounted within reach of the driver. it must also be a minimum 1kg dry powder type. the plastic ones will not pass. neither will ones out of date. neither will the ones under 1kg. but like i said i dont think any is required for this?

[Abo Bob]

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.

[wilch]

Anyone got photo's of where their fire extinguishers are?

Gonna make up a bracket tomorrow but haven't seen the fire extinguishers we're getting.
