Tarmac Rallying Perpetual Thread

Mel texted me asking if I was doing it, and she said she had plans to.... maybe you should talk to her

The dirt looks like a lot of fun (to drive), but it's the pulling apart and fixing the grubby things I don't rate

[Darkside]

^^^^ Thats the only lack of appeal to me of the dirt. I really like the idea of sliding around on a budget, but the ongoing servicing, repairs and maintenance, even if you run a clean rally and dont touch anything could get on my nerves abit. That said, i havent done it so am only speculating.

tarmac, as long as you dont crash, quick wash, fresh fluids etc, and away you go..

Hmmmm.. group C RX 7 turbo..... Anyone who will pay sensible money (see what I have done there Woo ) want to buy a Targa Prepped TME? Is CAMS logbooked so will be good to go for next year.

[Marlin]

I see you Pari...... i see you.

[Duncan]

Does this also mean that the other CAMS rallies will fall in line regs wise with the Octogon rules (Targa West, Rally Tas, Mt Stuart etc)??

Be good if there was just one set of rules thats for sure.

+1, good call

[Darkside]

I would say its only a matter of time. The CAMS regs are one reason I cant be arsed respeccing my car and running at Targa West.... the shite roads and repeated stages is probably the other.

CAMS have already relaxed their rules on exhausts. I expect injectors and fuel pumps etc will come soon to embrace the E85 phenomena. Then its just the silly ones like adjustable strut tops etc to get rid of and you are just about there.

Hmmmm, me thinks me and the wife need to have a chat about priorities! (well mine anyway)

[t01-100]

Is this going to push the price up though?

Price for TT has actually gone down and the other events can be held at stable pricing... and their arn't insurance levies etc.

[sav man]

So will we need the car to be log booked, or just have a cams certified cage?

All this talk of new projects has tempted me to put the EMO on the market. I am asking crack pipe money for it on MY105,(39k) but if anyone is seriously intersted let me know.

To your question Ben, I would have thought CAMS cage and logbooked, but I cant be sure. That said, from what I remember, if you have a CAMS certified cage, the next step to logbook the car isnt much more than filling out a form and getting it inspected by a CAMS srutineer.

[PHaT MR30]

Should be a piece of piss Ben as your cage is a very similar YT spec to the IX just need a scrutineer? to sign off on it.

Best bet is to give Herbie a call at the CAMS state office and he will point you in the right direction.

Getting a rego inspection was harder than getting the cage log booked (too many anal RWC stations), in the end Transport just pushed it through with out one!

[CycloneGTR]

Ben if you are going to run in the Super Series you will need a log book anyway, and dont stir Stu up thats my job.

[sav man]

I'm getting the car logbooked anyway, I'll just get it done sooner rather than later now

[Darkside]

Apparently there are proposed changes to ROPS spec in the pipeline now that are due to be put in place January 2012. (Think there was a CAMS bulletin recently) You will need to get your car logbooked by then if the cage is built to current specs or if you miss the date possibly find yourself having to mod the cage to make it comply.

[zebra]

There are no major changes for new cages from memory, mainly that you need 2 cross bars in the main hoop or rear legs, and changes so that FIA cages will be cams compliant.

All Chromoly cages will ned to be inspected/tested by a CAMS offical before log booking

CAMS has a whole new section up on the site about the changes.

Finally seem to have the ability to reply - woohoo!  Had all sorts of trouble with my iPad and this forum, but found a cool app that seems to work... Sort of...

So I wanted to stop this nefarious rumour The Woo is trying to spread .... It seems that merely enquiring after another's interest in an event constitutes entry (if only this were true).  Boy I had a lot of explaining to do to my husband (pool heaters)

The closest i will get to being at Classic Adelaide (or any other event in the foreseeable future)  is if Kel takes up my offer to be her groupie .... And even that's not looking so good right now - I hear I need to slay her other groupies to be considered at all, as she has set up a master chef / DWTS elimination style process

(now counter-rumoured, my work here is done)

Squashing a rumor to stir up said husband is never cool.

Banished!

[Nee-san]

So.. Who's going to build a Z tune and win outright in it ?

[Marlin]

You'd really be pushing shut up hill .....

[sav man]
