Wait, what?!?! Am meant to be updating my car's CAMS log book?!????!?

some of us don't have cams log books yet. If you have one your fine.

Dad's subie got knocked back by CAMS because they didn't accept an FIA spec cage from custom cages. But when he rocked upto High Country he got one, as the car ran under AASA Targa. Gotta love consitancy

Interesting, Skylines are not eligible for 2B or 2F as per this list: http://www.camsmanual.com.au/pdf/02_race/c.%202nd%20Category/RA18_Group_2B-2F_EligibleVehicles_Q411.pdf

But 2A has no particular/relevent restrictions except only 2WD can race, and they have to have 2 seats. So no reason that couldn't be it.

But you are in QLD so none of this really matters for racing, right? AASA race regs will chuck you into touring cars (super TT) and irace will put you into Jap/Muscle cars. Neither of which appears to have any particular restrictions, so get out there and give it a go.

If you want to race CAMS you are up against the porsches in sports cars. I am not sure about QLD but in NSW the state champ sports car racing is 2F which Skylines are not eligibile for (I am working on application though)

BTW all the dirt rally regs are also on the cams site for anyone who is looking at those classes:

http://www.camsmanual.com.au/04_rally_road.asp

These are the high level classes:

Group 3 - Club Rally Cars

Group 3C - Production Rally Cars (PRC)

FIA Groups A, N, R, Super 2000 and Super 1600 Kit Variant

CAMS Group N (P) Rally Cars

Showroom Rally Cars

Historic Rally Cars

Classic Rally Cars

like racing, there are non-CAMS categories like AMSAG

They just look too restrictive in terms of ability to move across to circuit racing to me. And I guess very few tarmac rally-ers also do dirt.

If anyone has run under a targa event in their car under AASA and is having dramas getting a CAMS log book, or is having difficulty in the cage certification process please all the targa office - there has been the odd situation like Brendon's STi that have required some event explanation.

Glad to see you're rebuilding so soon Paul. Was great to meet you at THC and i'm sure i'll see you out at future events.

We had an interesting THC, Dad had just recovered in time for the event. Managed to run several minutes faster overall than last year, still not fast enough though! Ended the event with the front brake pads worn half way through the backing plate and a car that was overheating and down on power. Hopefully will have everything ready for TWP!

Anyway here's a vid of one of the better stages for those that are interested. Watch in HD if you have fast enough internet...

    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1    
    • Nah. H2S. H2S is "rotten egg gas", which is what is associated with no cat. SO2 is equally nasty, and if you've ever smelt it you'll know all about it. More of a choking, acid in the back of the throat sort of thing. But you can only smell it in a narrow range up to about 1ppm. Above that, it irritates your mucous membranes, but you don't smell it.
    • Kicked the 34 in the guts, she won’t be seeing the road till I get the 31 mobile again.  wont be long and she’s a bit of a garage princess anyway haha
