Vic Drift Practice Day

[No Crust Racing]

What will the CAMs license get me that the AASA one wont as you need to be a member of something like SAU VIC to get the CAMs license the AASA one works out cheaper.

Any limitations I should be aware of?

[Habler]

If your planning on attending other tracks some of them may only be CAMS affiliated and will not accept AASA. Also other events outside of vicdrift may also require a CAMS (DECA days, grip days) but not be AASA affiliated.

If your planning on only really doing Vicdrift days the cheaper option is AASA.

I should be there again this time. Good to see some SAU Victoria drift discussion.

[No Crust Racing]

CAMS it is then, guess I'm about to become an SAU VIC member.

Cheers

You could become a Vicdrift member instead and get cheaper entry to their track days while still joining a CAMS club.

All though joining SAU has it benefits as well.

Actually that makes more sense. Despite being $15 a year more expensive in annual member ship, u only need to attend a couple drift events to make it back via the $10 saving VicDrift members get.

Nice thinking!

[tets]

car should be ready.

need retune

oilcooler install

and tires

see u there

With licencing. Get AASA unless you are going to do circuit sprints or anything more serious.

Well my car has survived the Australian Tarmac Challenge so I'm down for this!

Yeah will be doing the Winton Sprint Series too so going for CAMS, VicDrift membership went through yesterday so should be right to go with signup for CAMS now.

Sweet! I'll keep an eye out for the smoke plumes

My little CA won't quite go that hard but it should be fun. Picked myself up a set of 17" Sparco's with rubber ready to burn yesterday

[No Crust Racing]

Damn u poor bugger... must be terrible to have only 220kws in a 1200kg car

I'd be lucky to have 120kws!!

You'll love it!

I've always had 200rwkw's in my 32 and it was good. I have about 220-230 and I can't wait for 3rd gear slides now.

Just a word of advice Dan - Vicdrift are saying they only require a CAMS L2NS (Level 2 Non-Speed) license for their days, this type of license will be pretty much useless for any other track/motorsport events. Im actually surprised they can get away with using the Non-Speed licenses.

Anyways... if you are getting a CAMS license so you have the option to do other tracks days etc, make sure you get a L2S (Level 2 Speed).

Hope you see this in time.

[Habler]

AFAIK a L2NS license is used with drift because it is not solely based around being faster. The speeds used on drift days is much slower than those at grip events. The course is broken into sections with slow points that stop the cars from being able to gain the speeds used in grip racing or using the full course.

I'm not saying high speeds are not achieved but that the reason it is licensed different to most motor sports is because no lap times are given out, no speeds are recorded and being faster does not equal being the best on the day where as grip racing encourages the driver to go as fast as possible.

[No Crust Racing]

Thanks Bec I'm already on it as I realised I'd need 2S for the winton sprint series and various other events I wanna get in on.

Can't wait

most corners should be cleared in 3rd, only 1 corner works in 2nd and thats the 1st hear pin

Yeah I used to do almost everything in 3rd too but now it has more mid range power so should be even better. I do the cleavage in 2nd but i have a 33 g/box so that may make things a bit different.
