2 X Road Trip Opportunities

[TURISMO]

This will be sweet, prob keen to go done for DECA, as I was planning on going to those this year, and win one for ACT

[N1GTR]

Mmmm, the poll is at 50%

[Abo Bob]

Roughly for the first option;

Petrol for the way down $80

DECA entry $75, petrol usage $20

Accomodation is under $30 each night

PI $200ish

Petrol for the trip back $80

Plus whatever food and drink you want

Are you driving Micra's down there?

[N1GTR]

Sorry shouldve remembered current prices and been mor specific.

One fill on the way!

So bring a full tank to the meet, then fill up once on the way

Lets say $180 each way and then be happy when its less that

On my first trip down there i used something like 140L for the return trip EDIT: Just checked, it was 134L

[skylinegtts]

hahaha... my car goes just about as quick as a micra

fuel is the killer on these trips

[N1GTR]

Hahahahaha

You have to sit on redline all the way down

[N1GTR]

And yes we have a tie breaker on the poll!

[skylinegtts]

Hahahahaha

You have to sit on redline all the way down

thats how me and my rb20 roll... we wouldnt have it any other way

[N1GTR]

lol!

Queen jerk and king jerk should come - have you spoken to them lately?

[TURISMO]

Id be more keen on the Deca option as I don't think 2 track days in a row are going to take kindly to my car, or anyones car. Especially when we are in Mexico, Can you get parts down there?

Just a Thought

Yeah thats why i made it a vote dude

But i know what you mean, and i agree, im happy to drive it till it breaks but others probably arent.

As far as parts, you get the exact service as you would by living in Sydney or ACT (eg, pay for it and get it sent by overnight courier), so if you think you may need a new CV joint in the next month, do it now etc, or bring your starlet, its a sucker for punishment

Yep, thats how that happens. Looks like it will be a close call

For DECA you need to have a licence, CAMS L2S or AASA will do

When i did winton it was AASA, and i think PI is either

BUT ive sent a PM to one of the very helpful Victorians so i guess ill have confirmation soon

[weeman1]

thanx mate, btw whats aasa? and i have to join a car club to get a cams licence hey?

[N1GTR]

thanx mate, btw whats aasa? and i have to join a car club to get a cams licence hey?

AASA is like CAMS, they offer licences for drivers and insurance to event holders (among other things)

Yep, join SAUNSW then you can get the L2S

Hi Bec

OK....

CAMS - Confederation of Australian MotorSport - http://www.cams.com.au/ (you need to be a financial member of a CAMS affiliated club to get a CAMS license).

AASA - Australian AutoSport Alliance - http://australianautosportalliance.com/aasa/

If a day is run under CAMS insurance - you will need a CAMS license.

If a day is run under AASA insurance - you can use either a CAMS or AASA license.

Phillip Island - will ALWAYS be run with CAMS insurance, so you will 100% need a CAMS license to compete in any track day at Phillip Island.

Winton - it depends on the club running the day and whether they take out CAMS or AASA Insurance, most of the time people who run days at Winton use AASA (coz its cheaper), but its not always guarenteed. Steve, you'll need to check the supp regs for the day you want to enter to check if AASA is acceptable or not.

DECA - the same as for Winton. When SAU Vic run a DECA day we use AASA as our insurance provider. But as this day isnt one of ours, im not 100% sure which insurance the WRX Club will use. You should check with their motorsport committee.

My suggestion - if you guys are going to be doing a day at PI, you will need CAMS anyways, so you may as well just get that.

Just a Thought

2 years in a row now we have bought 10 plus track cars (also to note there were some of the quickest track cars in Melb) up to Sydney over Melbourne Cup Week, doing track days at Wakefield and Eastern Creek both times. All cars have driven home both times without any issues.

Mexico is civilised - of course you can get parts. You think we get all ours shipped down from Sydney

Steve-O - if you need help getting any of the above info, just holler
