Because it is being run as a super sprint (timing) / track day RENUW have used SOME rules from a standard type of super sprint reg sort of ? ! .

SAU track days will be back to normal after this little comp, and will be more focused on driver training and taking a mate for a spin, as pointed out there are lots of clubs to do sprints and/or door to door style of racing, SAU is more about having fun in a low risk enviroment with mates where you can go as fast as you like (as long as your speed matches your ability).

Still for a small outlay you can have piece of mind that if your car, someone elses car or if your mates hair catches on fire you can put it / him / her out and save your s hit from burning to the ground.

$20 could save so much.

I have 1.5kg in the car, .900kg in the kitchen, 2kg in the garage, you may say overkill, I say my sh it wont burn down.

:cheers:

Texi requires a fire extinguisher too and is done at much slower speeds. I'll be there as a renew entrant.

another question with club class, would i be able to use federal 595RSr's? the only semi listed under federals are the FZ201's. i think i'd be under tyred in open with the 595s

oh, and payed :thumbsup:

My opinion is the whole tyre thing should be binned, either that or run to CAMS regs for competitors.

Put me in SVD.

THESE ARE MY PERSONAL OPINIONS.

RANTING ON

My opinion is if you want "competition" go to Eastern Creek on a weekend, if you want to have fun or improve your driving ability dont worry about the "competition" just fill out the entry form and fax it now!

Sure, 595RS-R have a tread wear of 160 that puts them easily into street class. You don't need to meet all the requirements of club class to be in club class, only one or more.

Though the guy that wants to run in street class and then change to slicks half way through might have issues and be placed in the open class for all his sessions.

My question is the FZ201's do not have a tread wear indicator number "UTQC" so can I still run them in street class? It's clearly not under 120, it doesn't exist :)

And despite some peoples views I actually like the way the rules are clearly structured, despite it not favouring my car. They are very easy to follow and judge. And If you don't want to be a part of it, then you don't have to be. Big thumbs up to Renew and SAU for trying this.

Its more so that i don’t turn with something that they won’t let in any category. Aiming for club but if not I’ll pop in to open, the tyres are just a bit old :rolleyes:

And faxed :thumbsup:

not doing street, dont have any interior

not doing street, dont have any interior

James you do get the idea don't you? If ANY of your car exceeds the requirements of street class then you are either in club or open. If you exceed any items of club class then you are in open class.

With no interior, you don't meet street class (as you pointed out), so you can use either Street class (federal 595RS-R) or club class tyres. No slicks.

Near every car is eligible for open class unless it is an open wheeler.

open class doing 1.12's will be not worth it - haha but I gotta get used to slicks so would be a good chance!

and Mark - I'll be giving you bad tips hahaha

How does the point score work ?

Im just trying to work out how someone in the same group as me, who was slower than me, has more points than me ?

Actually everyone has more points as I scored "0"

Was it because I only did 3 laps due to mechanical issues ?

I looked at the natsoft to compare groups and times, would someone please post how the scoring is done as its doesnt look like its on times alone.

Thanks Mark.

    • You would probably do a lot better in a claims process then most people. When I called the insurance company, they were surprised I read the pds because according to them almost no one does lol.
    • Yeah it should be, but I wouldn't be surprised if the insurance company tries to pull some argument out of their ass to avoid paying you out.
    • On some cars like MR2 Turbos they're notorious for not letting the wastegate open far enough to avoid overboost, especially certain cheap downpipes. If adjusting "percentage cycle" fixes it then it's just an electronic control issue, not a hardware one.
    • Same.  It's depressing to say this but the skyline can go months on the charger between drives. 
    • I often leave mine connected weeks at a time. The main one I use is the old model of this, it has 2 important features - choose battery chemistry other than lead acid (most of mine are AGM) - power supply mode which you can use to try and recover dead flat batteries as "smart" chargers often don't recognise a dead flat battery is connected https://www.projecta.com.au/products/IC10/intellicharge-10a-bat-chgr The Ctek I  use was meant to have a battery test mode as well but it doesn't work 100% of the time so I am pissed at them. The distributor did everything possible to make warranty and support difficult so I'll stay away in future. The main thing with a "trickle" charger is it has multi stage programs, ie once the battery is full it turns the current right down to just maintain the charge....in the old days we just used real "trickle" chargers for that which had a maximum output of say 500mA which was safe to just leave connected to dumb old lead batteries.
