Event_Booking_Form_.pdfAll,

As per below, following on from the SAU drive day we have another chance to do a Track day at OP Grand prix cct. These Aaron McGill track days are by far the best track day you ever get to do. All you need is a helmet, non flammable long sleeve top and bottoms and a drivers licence. There is no need to be club members or apply for a L2S, you just turn up and drive.

I know it’s a Monday and you will have to call in sick or take a leave day, but this normally keeps the idiots away and mid week days are always more fun and safer due to very few people being there.

The format of the day is very Open, first timers get 3-4 laps around the track with an instructor. We are then broken into Slow, Med & Fast groups and set out on the track for 20 min sessions. There are normally 3 qualified instructors available and we get to take passengers in each others cars, yes PASSANGERS, in today’s environment this is rare! We normally stop for lunch (BBQ supplied) and then have a 5 lap grid race, which again is very rare and is a once off experience that should not be missed.

We then return to 20 min sessions and then the last few hours is normally open track time for you to enjoy the rest of the day.

I have spoken to Aaron and he has agreed to a SAU club cost of $200 per person providing we can get 10 people. I think I can commit about 7 people from my work, so we only need a couple extras to get this price.

Post up if you are interested.

Aaron is available to if you have any other questions on the day, and payment can be made directly with Aaron and he does take visa. Make sure you tell him you are from SAU to get the discount.

Event form attached.

See you all there, and lets make this another good day!

Thanks, Paul

N1GTR,

No offical timing on Aaron's days, but Im looking to organise something that we can share around.

I dont know what the issue is with the PDF attachment, perhaps a Moderator can work it out, if you send me a PM with your e-mail address I will send a copy.

    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
    • Interesting post(haven't watched the vid). I'm surprised companies can be fined for selling products that are specifically meant for certain applications.  How can you force a customer to use or apply your products in 100% the way intended? People have been misusing products since they were invented. Heck, I ate dessert last night with a soup spoon. Does that mean the spoon manufacturer could be fined? And what of the customers who actually want to use the product for its intended use?   I'm sure we could discuss and debate this for a while, but this is an introduction thread and I dont mean to take over it.
