Possible (Probable) "OFFICIAL" Skylines Australia - NSW Club Events, and Ideas.


Recommended Posts

Hello All,

Well by now a lot of you know that I have been selected to be the SAU Official events coordinator. I had hoped to have had some "Official" events announced and running by now but untill we get Cams affiliation it is just not worth the risk.

The reason the club needs Cams affiliation is simple really, they cover events held by SAU for Public liability insurance. This is required for any event that we hold as a "Club", Track Days, Skid Pan days, Cruises, and even BBQ's etc.

Some more major events that are already on their way are a Show and Shine day being planned for the long weekend in October and planning for that is well under way.

A Car Rally was being planned for the end of May but is now going to be at another date as Cams won't be meeting untill the end of may and will hopefully give us our affiliation then.

Other events that have been suggested:

Hill Climbs

BBQ's

Track Days

Skid Pans

Cruises

Information events

Driver Training

Group days at racing events

etc

Some of these events as mentioned before are already being planned. Some are still being looked into. If people know of events that they have done and would like to do as a club then please put the ideas in this thread... If you want to help out organising an "Official" SAU Event than please put your hand up. Or if you want to be on a list of those that are available to volunteer their time to cooking a BBQ, or giving out club info at a stall set up at another event than again please post up you interest here... everybodies help is greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions please feel free to PM me and I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge or endevour to find out what you are after.

Cheers all and thank you all for being so patient,

Dan.

Dan, as a social club we should venture into non car related activities. so, I second what Ben said. More mud wrestling events please. Now I know Ben wants to be a part of the actual wrestling but I was thinking more along the lines of getting our better halves to do it. Muahahah, won't that be fun:uh-huh:

or, we can pay some phoar looking chicks like sophie monk and natalie imbruglia. i don't know, tell em it's for charity for God's sakes. they'll go for that.

ignore my early morning ramblings. take note of the first sentance though

All of the above please dan. :P

All these events are fantastic, I know what what ever we do as a group from gold to mud wrestling would be fantastic.

good work!

As for the car rally! I am SOOOOO their when it all comes together with cams etc.

I used to organise lan nights.. big effort to get them going, had a few big ones.. 80 computers in a room is a weird sight, had a quake 2 game so big you had to wait to respawn.

tosh, cant you just lend him your pr0n dvd set? I know that all 45 dvds took you a while to download, but I am sure franky will look after them.

I propose an "Engine rebuild weekend" .

Y'all come round to mine, and take the farqued donk out - rebuild the farquer to bullet proof.

Then run boost her up to 26 PSI and take her down to EC drags, and see what breaks next !

he he he:D

    • 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! 🤪
