D-Day Practice, Oran Park North - 7th October 2006

This event will be the usual - all drift, all day on the north circuit at Oran park. Onto and over the bridge and around the back are non-drift areas, we will be running the two different track configurations throughout the day for you to enjoy.

We're also running a new and hopefully regular feature of our days - an award for BEST AT EVENT. A session in the afternoon will be open to all entered drivers on the day, and will judged by us. The driver who pulls off what we consider to be the best individual run will win themselves a trophy and free entry to the next IDA event they enter.

If you have a CAMS licence, bring it with you. If you're a member and have received your membership card, bring it with you.

PRICES:

Initial Drift Club Member: $110

Non-member: $140

Yearly Initial Drift Membership: $170 for the first year. Includes t-shirt, stickers, membership card and discounts on track day prices and free gate entry to most events. Available on the day.

Yearly Associate Membership: $50 per year. Gives you membership in a CAMS affiliated club and the ability to hold a CAMS L2NS licence, which is required. No other benefits. Available on the day.

CAMS L2NS licence: $46

NOTE: The CAMS licence is a once-yearly payment. After applying for one, you will eventually receive a licence in the mail that can be used at all of our events for one year. If you signed up for one last time and have not yet received it, please bring the tear-off bit you received.

PLEASE NOTE: All drivers at Initial Drift events must now hold a membership in a CAMS affiliated car club, and must hold at least an L2NS CAMS licence. If you do not hold either of these, you can join Initial Drift on the morning as either an associate member or full member. These are valid for one year, and allow you to enter future events with more ease.

If you were warned by Eric the scrutineer about something on your car, and you turn up to this event with the same thing wrong, you will not be allowed to drive until it is fixed. This goes especially for harnesses not bearing the correct approval tags or mountings or being out of date, for poorly installed rollcages and seats, poorly installed oil catch tanks or anything else like that.

Here's how to work out how much it costs for you:

If you're an Initial Drift member with a CAMS licence, it's $110

If you're not an Initial Drift member, but have a CAMS licence, it's $140

If you're an Initial Drift Associate Member with a CAMS licence, it's $140

If you want to join with a yearly Associate Membership it's $140 + $50 +$46 = $236

If you want to join with a yearly Full Membership, it's $110 + $170 +$46 = $326

TIMES:

SIGN ON: 8:00AM - 9:15AM

SCRUTINEERING: 8:00AM - 9:15AM

COMPULSORY DRIVER BRIEFING: 9:15AM - 9:30AM

TRACK ACTIVITY: 9:30AM - 4:30PM with a short break for lunch.

Regarding scrutineering: We are now having to enforce the new CAMS rules for our class - the biggest thing that people don't have are blue battery triangles. Basically, you need a blue triangle with 150mm sides pointing where the battery is in your car on the bodywork. If you're not sure, bring some blue electrical tape along, and ask Eric the scrutineer.

HOW TO ENTER:

# Complete the ENTRY FORM <-- Click Link To Open.

# Read it and fill it out.

# Email the form to us to secure your spot.

# Deposit your money into the bank account on the entry form (by direct deposit either on the internet or at your bank), and make sure you put the remitter name as your name, and put ORANNORTH or something similar as the description.

Passengers $20 (approved cars and drivers only)

A NOTE FOR DRIVERS - HAVING BEEN APPROVED FOR PASSENGERS AT PREVIOUS EVENTS DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL BE PERMITTED TO CARRY PASSENGERS AT THIS EVENT. A lot of drivers have been observed consistently drifting beyond their control and crashing with passengers in their car. They will not be allowed to carry passengers at this event.

Spectator entry is $10

Initial Drift member entry is FREE if you show your membership card. If you have joined and not yet received your card there will be a list at the gate.

PRE-ENTRIES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER THURSDAY THE 31ST EVENING, AS THE PAYMENT MUST HAVE 24 HOURS TO CLEAR BEFORE YOU SECURE A PLACE

Entries can be made on the morning, but prepayments are preferred.

Due to the extra administration required, drivers who do not prepay will no longer be refunded gate entry. If you prepay, your name will go on the gate list for free entry, or if you're a member, entry is free if you show your membership card.

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
