So,

got an email from the MRA guys.

They are dropping the $60.00 level 2 licence and bringing in a national licence with AASA which is 100 a year. (down from over 200 I think?)

It also means we can race in any AASA event in different states!

Yep your right weevils the national licence had dropped from $200 down to $100 now!!!

Oh noes weevil can go postal :down: look out interstate race tracks!!

Yeah thats it, you could only use the level 2 for wakefield, and not in other meet around country.

So now lakeside, winton and.....something else?

which isnt too bad I guess! but I dont see myself going that far haha

understood. and 99% of people I know use those licenses only in NSW for motorkhanas and wakie track days. Now they will have to pay twice as much for the same result.

and further, the cams L2S is now a cheaper way to meet both those requirements.

Druncan, the level 2 licence I have of AASA allows me to compete door to door in races with MRA/Irace etc at wakie (and used to be OP)

the next level up was a national comp one at over 200 bucks.

now they have scrapped the 60, brought the national down to 100

I think thats pretty good considering someone like me doesnt race in any CAMS events (MX5 racing done through AASA 97% of time!) and the PC licence is around 300 - 400 a year?

AFAIK they still have the club level one for $50 which is smilar to L2S for wakie and kana's

yeah agreed if the entry level licence is now $100 that's a bit tough since like you said 99% of people only compete in motorsport in their own state. for people who actually will compete insterstate paying $200 is not a big deal for a licence. I mean even if they only did one meet at say Phillip Island that extra $100 is not even the first tank of fuel on the way out there...

but dunc, like weevil said they do still have the $50 club licence.

the only scary thing for me is that you can now get a national circuit licence for door to door racing simply by attending 3 super sprints and paying $100. at least under the cams C3 and then PC/NC licence scheme you had to do an observed licence test and that usually meant some form of advanced driver training course and that was just to get to the provisional (PC) licence you then had to demonstrate competence to get onto your NC licence. it means people with some pretty questionable driving practices and skills can get straight into national door to door competition. having said that though there were plenty under cams too but I guess at least working a bit harder for the licence formed some kind of quality filter.

all cams licences have been nationwide though even back when an L2S was about $60.

I do think for door to door comp licences there needs to be some kind of assessment done to ensure people out there know how to behave and how to drive without endangering other people. easy to ask for but hard to implement I guess.

MRA is entry level door to door racing. You will never really 100% know how to race until you actually do it. You will always get your cowboys and drivers that have left there brains in the esky!

I have only ever seen people coming up the ranks from supersprints that finally think there ready to try door to door or even guys that have been behind thd scenes as pit crew or officials move straight to racing..

That's what the Clerk of Course is for to chat to the drivers that are behaving in an endangering manner.. But really I don't see it alot extremely bad drivers in door to door racing in my experience more see that with first timers at a supersprint! Plus they don't learn to watch there mirrors until your out there giving it ago!!

yeah you are right. no matter what the licensing scheme there will always be dickhead drivers getting through. anyway I think what aasa is doing is great. it is good to have an alternative for people. :ermm: and they certainly are making door to door racing more accessible for more people in a variety of different cars.

    • Hi ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this ๐Ÿ™
    • Hi, Marek here ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
