2011 Motorsport Events (Tas)

[zoidbergmerc]

Hey Guys,

i thought I'd post this up here because some people have been asking about it.

Can one of the mods make this sticky perhaps?

Events for Feb

6th Feb - Come and try day @ Baskerville.

12th Feb - Motorkahna @ Symmons Plains

12th Feb - Oonah Road Hill Climb

13th Feb - Tas Super Series Round 1 @ Baskerville

19th Feb - Drift Practice Day @ Baskerville

20th Feb - State series Motorkahna round 1 @ Kempton

27th Feb - LCCT Club Day @ Symmons Plains

I got all the details from http://www.cams.com....0125&to=&page=1

For most of these events all you need on your car is:

- 900g or larger fire extinguisher secured in a metal bracket with bolts through metal with large washers on them. Needs with withstand a force of 25g.

- Tail shaft strap, to prevent the drive shaft from hitting the ground if it breaks. (You don't need this if your car is registered)

- Secondary means of securing the bonnet. eg. bonnet pins or strap. (I've seen people use dog collars and belts and all sorts, just as long as it stops the bonnet from opening should the stock latch fail) (Again, you don't need this if your car is registered)

- Clear contact over the headlights (Only if there are multiple cars on the track at once.)

- A blue triangle on your bonnet (or boot) where you battery is. (Or a white triangle if your car is blue, I made mine from electrical tape)

- Coolant overflow can't just go on to the ground, I just re-routed mine into a drink bottle. If you use powerade you get an extra 15kW

Normally you'd want to get there at like 8:30-9, scrutineering closes at 9:30 and racing starts at 10.

You can usually join a club and get a CAMS licence on the day, cost's a bit though, can't remember exactly but I'd take at least $250 cash with you your first time.

If anyone has anything more to add just post here and I'll add it to the OP. I'll try my best to keep this up to date.

I'll be keeping a close eye on this thread over the next year or so, looks very helpful

I was looking for some details on the 'Come & Try Day' at Baskerville, but it appears that the CAMS site hates the link (probably to do with the use of '&' in the query string, which normally denotes separate parameters, but anyway..) so I keep getting 'Bad Request'. This sounds like the perfect kind of first day for newbies like me, but since I can't get to the information I was wondering if anyone knew some basic details about it? (start times, usual crowd, prices etc) I realise time is running pretty short and I'm not certain the car is up for it yet, but will have to give it a go to find out

Thanks,

Jay

Yeah I know, their website is fkT, but what do you expect.

If you want more info on the come and try day try calling Dick on 6224 4134 hopefully he'll be able to shed some light on the situation. Post up here if you find out anything as I'm sure there are other people in the same boat.
