For the first time in Victoria, car club members with a CAMS L2S (or superior) who attend the track days organised by their club or other CAMS affiliated clubs have an opportunity to compete for the tile of ‘Victorian Champion’ either ‘outright’ or in a particular ‘Category’ or ‘Class’. There are up to 93 trophies to be won!

Who can enter? The Victorian SuperSprint Championship is open to anyone who holds a CAMS L2S (or superior) and is a member of a CAMS affiliated club.

What car can I bring? Just enter the car you normally use at your club track day. Everything from the 'daily driver' through to the dedicated Race Car is eligible for a trophy in this event.

The Championship will be decided over three rounds. To win the Championship or a particular Category or Class you will need to compete in at least two Championship Rounds and in most cases three. Championship Rounds will be held at Sandown, Phillip Island and Winton.

When is the first round? The first Championship Round will be held at Sandown on Sunday, April 4, 2010. Entries are open NOW.

[Neil]

I got this as part of an email yesterday. 75db,,,hope I'm under it,,,some muffler place will have to make me something on the saturday.

The Fiat club of Vic suck. I've had the car at Redline Rotary all last week,,,he could have made me something,,,now I have to stuff around,,,leave bloody earlier and pay some shop through the nose.

NOISE BAN BEFORE 9am

As many cars are driven to the circuit a complete ban on running engines is not possible.

As all cars will comply with the 75Decibel circuit pass rule, the following will apply:

Before 9am Race Engines Must NOT be warmed up or tested. Engines at absolute minimum revs will be permitted. Absolute minimum revs may be used to unload from trailers - if required. When parking cars should stay clear of the western fence (the roadway bounding houses) and face cars exhausts towards the track.

Any blatant abuse of this allowance will see a complete ban on engines and ALL competitors will have to push cars from the entry gate until 9am. Self Regulation is in your best interest. Officials will report offenders to the Stewards. A report may result in an offender being excluded from competition

sounds like sandown is going the way of oran park within 5 years....must drop by before then.

good luck Neil, Mark, and anyone else running this weekend

yeah for sure....and no doubt the most serious guys will have new tyres each round....if not the series is not competitive enough

sorry not sure if the other guys are on the forum....but a great turn up from nissans/datsuns which were by far the most common make there.

well done neil in a good run considering its the first time he's seen the track outside the xbox. And of course congrats to JFK and Sam who were absolute miles ahead and very competitive with each other. Also good to see Mark's car last the day as a test for targa in 4 weeks

It was a great day out (my first time to Sandown). Love the track.

I saw from your video's you were doing ~200kph (how accurate is that thing you use???) on my VBOX3i the blue RX7 was doing 210.78kmh.... funniest thing I saw all day was the race spec Mustang struggling to pass the quiet stock road car down the straights.

[Ant97GTR]

Congrats -thats some good results from the Nissan/Datsun crew

[RICE RACING]

Here is a snap shot of the max speed (my memory is bad was 210.81kmh).

[Tektrader69]

Well done on a top 10 finsh Neil, First time on a track is pretty nerve wracking.

How many sessions did you get in?

Thanks again for bringing my front bar down with you

I had an absolute bloody ball. Duncan YOU need to do Sandown.

Those 2 massive long straights coupled with the twisties in between was so much fun.

I just couldn't workout out my braking points. The front straight has large bumps in the braking zone which in hindsight I should have braked later to miss them and the back straight,,,well I need bigger balls and just keep the right planted longer.

The rest of the track is just a barrel of laughs,,,deep in and great fun out.

The right hander coming onto the back straight would rate as one of my favorites corners.

Not one car went over the db limit so that was great not even the rotors,,,I was very nervous.

Tek,,,not a problem mate. We did 2x supersprints (1-3-1) and 2 over 10 minutes sessions.

Bring on P/I I say.

Cheers

Neil.
