For some time SAUQLD had resisted applying for CAMS affiliation. In the past couple of months the matter of CAMS affiliation has been revisited and after some considerable discussion at recent Committee Meetings and General Meetings with the new Executive body it was agreed that it would be in the best interests of the club to seek affiliation.

One of the major benefits is that it is now no longer necessary to be a member of another CAMS affiliated club in order to qualify for a CAMS L1 or L2 license and this will save members some money.

CAMS affiliated car clubs have the right to:

• Have representation at State Council;

• Debate issues at State Council and move and second motions at State Council;

• Vote on issues at State Council (subject to membership numbers and period of affiliation); and

• Issue Level 1 and Level 2 CAMS Competition Licences to their members (where the licence is applicable to the event).

CAMS car clubs, through their affiliation, can:

• Obtain advice from CAMS administration when required, including advice on technical, sporting, safety and legal issues;

• Gain access to and use of CAMS systems including judicial, safety, technical, accreditation, training and compliance systems and other intellectual property belonging to CAMS;

• Gain access to the expertise, developed over 50 years, within the CAMS administration and within the CAMS membership base; and

• Obtain support from CAMS administration with regard to officials’ training and event organisation.

CAMS car clubs, through their affiliation, are covered by CAMS insurances, including:

• CAMS General Public & Product Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance;

• Personal Accident Insurance; and

• Voluntary Workers’ Insurance.

Other benefits enjoyed by CAMS affiliated car clubs include:

• Operating under an integrated international system of motor sport regulation which provides stable, universal standards of competency, organisational capacity, fairness and judicial process for all participants;

• Affiliation with a credible, authoritative and internationally accredited governing body that is identifiable to Government and other interest groups;

• The opportunity to be part of the CAMS affiliated car club network and take part in events run by other CAMS affiliated car clubs;

• Access to information via the CAMS web site (www.cams.com.au), CAMS Bulletins and the CAMS Magazine (tri-annual publication);

• Access to CAMS’ ‘authority to conduct a non-competitive event’ permits, a product allowing CAMS affiliated car clubs the option of staging non-competitive events such as concours d’elegance and social runs under CAMS insurances.

• The opportunity for promotion of the affiliated car club via the CAMS website (approximately 95,000 hits per month) through the ‘club search’ function, providing information and contact details to prospective members; and

• The opportunity to feature a link from the CAMS website to the affiliated car club website.

For the benefit of CAMS affiliated car clubs and CAMS members, CAMS is obligated to:

• Maintain its status as the National Sporting Authority (ASN) appointed by the FIA;

• Maintain a risk analysis and risk management program of the highest standard to provide the safest possible environment for competitors, officials and the general public;

• Maintain a public liability insurance policy with a minimum cover of $100 million in which the excess (if any) is not the responsibility of the event organiser/club (see insurance section of this document for further details);

• Maintain a personal accident insurance policy covering competitors and officials (see insurance section of this document for further details);

• Provide a professional management and administration team which is accessible at all reasonable times; and

• Establish, manage, maintain and monitor a judicial system in accordance with the FIA International Sporting Code and the National Competition Rules of CAMS and to ensure that it delivers outcomes which are fair to all parties.

Regards,

SAUQLD Exec Team

Great stuff. Now how about a motorsport championship now? :P

We have had problems in the past where unless the motor sport facility or activities are in everyone’s own suburb they won’t pay/come.

Build it and people cannot be bothered *shrugs*

We have a pretty fun calendar for 2009 covering a verity of things, which should give people the taste for bigger and better things to come in the near future (SAUQLD championship) for example.

XYZ events over the 12 months with awards handed out at the end of year Christmas dinner.

ah so those are up to date - well in that case i will be re-joining as soon as my current cams affiliated car club membership expires!

Hey Zennon,

Yep, yearly Membership fee for SAUQld is $30. Josh's link has all the other details

      Nah, if I need to fit people in a car I'll just use the Mrs car, the MX5 is perfect for what I need as a fun little sports car for fun on the street As for getting in and out of the MX5, I have no issues as I am a short arse who does lots of mobility training 🥷 If anything, I have been looking at Daihatsu Hi-Jets for a work hack, I helped one of my mates move some stuff with one recently that he picked up from Just Jap, it was a little ripper and plenty big enough for what we needed, it would also be super handy for me as I do alot of gardening, and plan on having some veggie patches and native gardens in the place I buy next year when I retire I did alot landscape gardening and growing veggies prior to my current job, and loved it, and that is a hobby that can keep me sane in my retirement, and as such, the little 300kg load capacity would be more than enough for what I need it to move around I have been looking at utes for just this purpose for a while now, and a near new 2024 Hi-Jet can be had for under $30k And I would rather look at a quirky little Hi-Jet than pretty much any other little ute, well, apart from a Brumby, I love the little Brumby, and weirdly have never owned one yet I was going to buy a heap of raffle tickets to try and win the Brumby that MCM built for Subaru Australia, but sadly I totally missed the raffle, I even filled in some form to be told when the raffle started so I could buy tickets, but to my dismay I was never contacted and found out I missed it when I was randomly googling Brumbys last year... #conspiracy  Maybe I should just buy a Brumby for a little "work hack".....LOL I use to be indecisive, but now I'm not sure

      Well.... it's not just "de-oxygenating". If you do that you just have, most likely, ethane. So you still need to do a synthesis step to combine a number of ethanes/ethanols to make circa-8-chain hydrocarbons. And of course you don't want straight chain HCs, because n-octane actually has a negative octane rating (ie, it's worse even than the n-heptane which sets the zero on the octane scale!), so you have to do some tricky catalytic chemistry to synthesise branched HCs. That's all doable - but it doesn't come for free. And.... it starts with ethanol, which is an agricultural product, and there will almost certainly never be enough of that as a base stock to replace the liquid fuels that are in use. You really wouldn't want to be planning to be using any more ethanol for fuels than is currently already used (in E10, E85s, etc). And ideally you'd be looking to reduce such usage, as it is largely wasteful, particularly in the stupid-ole'US-of-A where the corn lobby has organised it so that it's actually primary production corn that is used to make a lot of the ethanol, not by-products and waste, like it is (mostly) elsewhere. So, what I said about needing free-ish energy probably still applies. True synth fuels would be made from H2 and CO2, in a near reversal of the combustion process. In fact, given that the H2 would be split from water first, it actually is a complete reversal of the combustion process. But...energy intensive. The human race burns something like 1 cubic MILE of crude oil, after it has been made into various fuels. Every year. That's a simply stupendous amount of energy. Just assume that the density is 900 kg/m3, and that the calorific value is 45 MJ/kg, then that is 165.9 x10^12 MJ of energy. Or more than 10^19 Joules. You get a maximum of 1 kJ/s per square meter solar radiation falling on the planet's surface, and so if you halve that for daylight, and halve it again for average weather (highly optimistic) and then take ~25% for the very best efficiency of solar panels, then you need about 85.7 billion square metres of solar panels to generate enough electricity to replace that liquid fuel energy consumption. Each panel is about 1m2. That's a rather large number of panels. We also burn about a cubic mile of coal. We also use hydroelectric power. We also use nuclear. We also use a number of other sources, both "renewable" and not. You can kind of ignore the renewable ones (except for hydro, because it will all end up getting subsumed into pumped hydro for storing other renewables, and so it won't be the standalone renewable that it originally was), so we end up needing a multiple of the ground area number that I just arrived at.

      Corvette thread then? Don't say I didn't predict the future again. "I love the little MX5, I do, but I just want something a little easier to get in/out of, a little more cushy and some power would be nice - I miss the V8 Rumble... I found this clean red C5 for sale recently and..." I'll do you a great deal on the next step, which is one of those but you can fit people in it, too.

      What about renewable diesel and/or gasoline? I see some projects spinning up like de-oxygenating ethanol to make drop-in compatible bio-gasoline especially in CA. I still think the future is EVs and we should've all gone full throttle on nuclear power after the 1973 oil crisis like France. Despite 15 years of work in CA to reduce the CO2 intensity of generation with renewables our electric grid is still far worse than even "low carbon" nuclear power. ICE is pretty cool when you aren't depending on the stupid thing to be practical and reliable and cheap as possible to get you to work every day. It's kind of like mechanical watches or vacuum tube amps.

      I just rolled over "my" first 10k km in the MX5 Every time I go anywhere it always ends up in a adventure to look at houses and find some random country roads I've been on leave since early November but unfortunately need to go back to work on 19 January Luckily though I still have a fair chunk of leave left to burn until.... Not that I'm counting 😁
