Sau Question

[r_speedfreak_r]

Hey all.

A thought occured to me. I regularly see track days organised but is SAU an offical car club to paying members? If so does this mean it would make you eligable to buy a cams licence and attend cams events?

The track day are organised by www.timeattack.com.au. The SAU club is not cams affilated from what I know so if you joined and wanted a cams licence, you will need to join another club as well....

SAU NSW is.. not sure about SAU QLD..

[MountainRunner]

That's right. I run track day and use AASA not CAMS.

There are heaps of clubs around like SPARK, MG Car Club etc that are CAMS affiliated and will give you the membership you are after.

SAU Qld used to be CAMS affiliated, but given the cost of membership and the limited benefits members were actually getting from it, it was not renewed.

[WazR32GTSt]

you can join SAU-victoria for $50 and get a CAMS lisence through them..

see the vic section for that

[N1GTR]

Yeah the L2S does require club membership

Here's the link to join the NSW one, or if you want to use VIC, see the vic section

NSW is the only 'offical' club - it's also an official club.

(Those that were at the first offical SnS will know what I mean)

[SMR33]

To answer the original question, SAu Qld is also an official Club...just not CAMS affiliated anymore.

There are very few tracks that are CAMS affiliated anyway and as Paul (MountainRunner) said, we race at QR and they use AASA.

You would have to travel a long way to need a CAMS licence unless the organiser required it for a tarmac rally around here????

[r33_racer]

funny you say that as we are competing in a cams event at qr over sat and sunday next weekend. This weekend is the sprints and top gear and next weekend is a national cams event at QR.

Dont get CAMS and race tracks confused as to how they are affiliated.

[Rhinorebel]

It really depends on who is organising the event. QR will accept most affiliated clubs who use AASA or CAMS. It is just that CAMS is now pricing themselves out of the market and new members are wondering what they are paying so much for.

actually, the ONLY racetrack that doesn't use CAMS is QR, and even then as R33_racer pointed out, that's only for their own sprint series and topgear race metings, and mountainrunner's timeattack track days. EVERY OTHER racetrack, sprint series, hillclimb, autocross, motorkhana, khanacross that I know of uses CAMS.

[r33_racer]

Not to worry...CAMS will get alot better slowly as all the fogeys start moving on and the newer and younger folk start changing things for the better. Too many old people stuck with their old mind set and old old ways and dont want to change cause if it worked back in the 60's why change it now?
