Yeh if your in the Bluey you will be in associate class.

It looks like the SAU guys are about half the entries so far.

If people are keen to start entering these sorts of events, or just love their motorsport, then its a great idea to come down and look at whats going on. The WRX Club are always grateful for the support our members give with officials. Its a great vantage point by teh track watching the quick guys fly up into/out of corners. Anyone that has flagged can tell you its pretty cool place to watch the action.

Keeping my salesmans hat on for a second, you can actually use these events to get the experience to become a CAMS official which will allow you to official at State and National meets. Fancy being trackside at a V8 round? Im going to do it so i can black flag that shiela Rick Kelly :)

How can Sandown scare you after PI? Sandown is great fun. Big ripple strips to hammer over. A few big stops to wrestle the car under brakes for...its great fun in any car. (Unlike PI :) )

The walls that are close to the track.... At least at PI the walls a further away even if your going that fast that the run off isn't enough, it still makes you feel a bit better :)

I'm out. can't take another beating from a truck driver.

hahahah took me a few seconds to figure that one out - whats the real reason? Single spinner?

Winton may be the spiritual home for Team Wang, but Sandown is the home of BTR :)

Whats BTR?

That's some funny shit!!!!

Now who else can I chase around the track??? Maybe Voss in the purple MPC car...

I don't think I'll be doing any PB's, my best time was getting towed around by another faster guy. :)

I'm faxed and ready to GO!!!!!

Aaron, you still coming for a look???

Oops. Just fried my data logger :D

Installing some new firmware for it and the laptop died. Now when i plug it in the laptop doesnt recognise that a device has been connected. When i un plug the laptop and start the car the onoly thing the logger does is flah through the gear indication LEDS :)

Shit...time to ship it back to Italy for it to be re-flashed :) Shit.

At this point in time there will be Driver Training run in conjunction with the usual sprints, so post up if you are interested in doing Driver Training on the day.

I'm interested in doing the driver training seeing as I have never raced at Sandown before, how many driver training sessions are run during the day on average?

Do any of the SAU guys instruct or is it WRX club people only?

Also with regards to the db limit, do GT-R's with your usual large exhaust systems frequently go over this limit?

Thanks, sorry for the questions but I'm a bit of a circuit newbie...

If you do Driver Training then you normally get 3-4 sessions. (much like everyone else) The instructors can be both SAU or WRX. Normally we try to use SAU instructors for the SAU guys. Normally the like of Aaron34, Scotsman, Belsil80, Snowman and myself can do the SAU guys. I dont think Jag33 normally does it but like a few others have the experience and maturity to walk you around the track.

If you are happy enough, and the Instructor is happy, the Clerk of Course may allow you to run in a sprint but thats a case by case basis.

Not many cars have had trouble with noise at Sandown. Though there was an alarming number of cars having troubles with PI. So if your car is very loud then it may pay to try and address it before the day. I was hoping to but im running out of time....so if you are loud just be prepard to be warned and maybe short shift the rest of the day.

    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
    • Is there an actual website thingie for peoples who don't have Facebooks? Cheers
    • All Jap Day is coming up again! 13th of July this year. Are you going? Tickets go on sale on Wednesday 6pm. Please let Quang know as well. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1163155775853542   I still get shit from my wife for this photo because it is the happiest she has ever seen me. And it's not with her, it's in someone else's car.   Quang's EVO is sick, but that rotary wagon flying past was absolutely bonkers.
