Ffcc Sandown

[ssxRicho]

As mentioned last night at the meeting there is a Sandown track day being held by FFCC (Ford Four Car Club) in-between now and the next WRX event in July.

Sandown is great as it is close to Melbourne and generally within 30mins of everyone. Yes the walls are close to the track, just keep that in mind when

you press your right foot down.

Date

Sunday 8th May 2011

Price

$170

Requirements

CAMS L2S

CAMS club membership with current sticker (SAU VIC Membership)

Fire Extinguisher

Two bonnet latching mechs (the standard double latch is ok, but for older cars with the single latch no good you need a second with a tie down strap)

Blue battery triangle 150mm x 150mm x 150mm (get yourself some blue contact from the news agency and cut one up!)

[ssxRicho]

lol what? Why didn't you just scan it to PDF and email it? i guess no access to a scanning device.... actually the photo thing isn't a bad idea!

Anyway I'll put my entry in after the Easter break, there's a few little things to sort out with the car before I enter. Decided not to do the Midland sprints at Winton the week before, this will give me more time to play around with the car

[emts]

hmm this looks interesting..

nothing on that weekend at this point.

[Sandeep]

i'm just waiting for them to email me bank details so i can pay the entry.

in terms of track time, how do the ffcc days go compared with others?

grouped according to experience as well?

[ssxRicho]

Yep it's a standard sprint day. Grouped according to estimated lap time (0 time if you are new).

I would suggest putting your lap time on the form under modifications, if you are new to sandown put that down.

5-7 12minute session

[Russman]

Lots of slow commodores at ffcc days. Generally well run though.

[Downforce]

"9. There will be a maximum of 20 competing cars on the track at any one time, which will be started in 3 groups of 4."

more cars on the track at once = possibly slower lap times

[ssxRicho]

That is the maximum, doubt they will run groups with that many. Bit of a car park.

Last time I did an FFCC day there were quite a few super 8's that were doing low 20's.

[Downforce]

I'm keen for this, should be fun!! Just have to sort out the cam timing and fine tune a couple of things

[Russman]

There is another FFCC sandown day sunday 26/06/11.

I'm hoping to make this one with my new setup

[ssxRicho]

They run a pace car that exists the track with the next group behind it as the last car from the previous group crosses the finish line and does their cool down lap.

[Downforce]

So are you driving the pace car John?

[ssxRicho]

would be nice.

last time at sandown it was a 997 GT3
