I'm sure everything will be cool but I've been on the committee of a club that had very poor attendances and it was really frustrating organising sh*t and no one rocking up.

...

im hearing ya i was the team captain for a gaming clan little different but same thing i would book servers and organise a practise for noone to rock up... moderate the forums post up war dates for very few people to reply saying they could make a war

get to war days wondering how many people will actually turn up

we ended up getting kicked of the ladder twice due to forfeits least there no ladder in the car club :thumbsup:

I'm in for sure.

But I think some people are getting ahead of themselves, track events need heaps of planning and I know from experience many people love to argue about events but very little actually do anything on the organisation side of things. I'm sure at first people will do it, but for how long? As someone said earlier the Falcon GT club has over 100 members and hardly any rock up to meetings etc. so it needs to be determined who's in and who's "in" because there's no point in getting the club going with 50 members in year 1 and 10 the next.

Maybe have a few trial meetings etc before we become and official club?

Obviously we'd have to get the club off the ground first, and if nothing else it'd hopefully be a cheaper way to get a CAMS license in the beginning, as you say there should be enough momentum at first to organise events but of course for some people "the passion" (to steal a phrase from Shannons) will wane and that's when new people will need to step up to the plate.

Members can't expect that those on the committee are in for a life-long commitment to "organise sh*t" for them, if a small number of members aren't willing to do more then any club will fail, the Falcon GT club has obviously got some lazy arse members.

Conversely you can't expect members to sign their lives away, if we had 50 members in year one, and bugger all the next then so be it at lest we've had one good year which is a darn site more than we have now.

The club doesn't all have to be about track days, I know there's plenty of Vic members who are in it for the social aspect, i.e. bbq's, official road-trips and cruises (where non-member drivers can't attend due to club insurance reasons). We already get good attendances at them so provided membership is reasonably price (not something we should get too hung up on right now though) and the events are good I can't see why we wouldn't attract enough people that way alone.

At the moment its all good.. The cams info provided earlier was awesome; saved me hunting it down.

Waiting to hear back from Troy when he's got a little spare time. So until then we will just hang off a little.

Yep, Troy's getting back to us end of the week or so, so we should have some updates for you guys then :P

Sorry, I think I've missed something here, who's Troy and what "updates" are waiting to hear from him on? :D

Troy is one of the SAU-VIC club Execs. We've asked him how to go about setting this whole thing but as we'd like to run it like SAU-VIC as they seem to be doing very well :P

I guess we forgot to mention that before... :D

    • How's your first born doing? 😛 As for now what? Time to forget about it for 12 to 18 months while your go down a totally unrelated rabbit hole... 😛
    • Fuse taps are perfectly fine to use, especially when you're adding stuff for your own car, and so long as you're being smart about it. IE, don't throw a 30amp circuit, onto a circuit that is only a small circuit. It's best to add a small circuit, to one that is already quite large. Oh, and make sure you're not going to blow the fuses that are further upstream too! I dislike their use in other applications, such as alarms, telematics/tracking devices etc, as it's far too easy for someone to unplug them and render a system useless. Those sorts of devices I go for wiring in quite secretively.
    • Fob is all cleaned up and it’s working well!! The amount of Vegemite looking sh*t that was in there is mind blowing 
    • Given it is temporary, I bought a  cheapy gauge mount (which has become enflattened) which I will screw into the existing phone mount Also a first for me; given this is a temporary install I could not think of any reason not to use one of those "add a fuse" thingies to source the battery and IGN power. I had always figured they were pretty dodgy but having a good look at them I think they are a valid option for sourcing power from an existing source without cutting 
    • Finally for now, a bit more work on the transmission temp gauge. I was wondering how Raceworks do a gauge for $100 that autometer want $500 for. No idea about the accuracy of course, but they have cut a few corners that made things hard.  First one I mentioned above, the sender is physically difficult to fit and doesn't work with their own adapters (the extra fittings I used to get the sender into a hose cost more than the whole gauge, lucky I had stuff in the shed) Second, the temp sender wires are way too short. They are shown as 2.7m on the box and I know my routing was long from navigator headlight to driver's firewall back to centre console, but I had to lengthen them by about 2m total - 2 joins in each wire. Also, same with the supplied power loom, they needed about an extra 1m to get the fuse box where I sourced power. Another join in each wire since one end wasn't supplied terminated. I know they could argue that the wires might be long enough depending on situation, but when you consider parts and particularly labour, it would be a very expensive cheap gauge if you can't do the work yourself. And, only a small issue....but it would have been nice if they remembered to tap a tread onto *both* spacers they supplied for the bracket....I haven't had to use the M4 tap often!
