Steve, have the no screamer pipe rule been enforced for a while?

cause early 2010 or late 2009 i entered the NSW motorkhana there and they did not say anything about my screamer pipe.

Nor did they require a fire extinguisher as well.

Awesome, thanks everyone.

Driving down for a geezer...

Hopefully someone will let me have a passenger ride

As long as its been managed by the people who manage it (a long time), it's been a rule in the hire agreement (it's not outlining screamer pipes, it outlines overall vehicle noise). I dont think many users read/obey the hire agreement, but I do things the right way instead of getting away with it for a while then coming unstuck down the track

Insurance are the ones who require a fire extinguisher. Anyway thats just a smart/safe thing to have in the car

I have asked in the past about noise levels and exactly how loud we can be, its a touchy subject, as I said before if we arent welcome at this venue there is NO others in Sydney that can do these days and the Texi's will simply stop. No one wants that of course! To make things worse, I think there's a residential development happening quite close by which seem to be closer than the current residents. If that gets built and people move in, the fact that the skidpan/runway was there before they moved in wont stop them complaining - look at the people complaining that live near the airport eventhough the airport has been there for a long time...

State round is a CAMS run event yeah? We dont use CAMS for this, they're way too expensive and hard to deal with on key points

yeah its a CAMS event,

but cheers for clearing that up.

i do hope they new residents don't complain otherwise it will just only be wet skid pans and occasional peanut track days @ EC for 4hrs at a time only

Did u guys have any issues/noise complaints with the past event @ marulan?

CAMS are great on some things, terrible on others. This sort of event is in the "others" pile.

No dramas!

EC is the only other place in Sydney thats available, here's the problems; Cost is quite large to rent, last I checked you had to use a CAMS permit (expensive!!!) and AASA licences werent accepted. So if I was to take Texi to there, the entry fee would be around the $140 mark per member and you'd get far less driving time due to the small size of the pan. To put simply, Texi's would stop because at EC it would be a crappy event compared to what we are all used to now. IMO being in that situation is to be avoided at all costs

I wasn't involved with the MDTC day - so I cant answer that one sorry!

[Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham]

bring it back to canberra, not as far to drive.... for me

[N1GTR]

There's something I'm planning for next year down there, its worth the drive from Melbourne for it - so anyone living in Canberra is just lucky (for at least 1 weekend hahaha)

[L0Ki]

So is it too late to enter? I'm keen but still need to get an extinguisher mounted if I'm allowed to enter. I'd be a first timer too so would need a licence aswell!

and just to clarify are passengers free as long as they have a helmet and appropriate clothing?

Cheers

[N1GTR]

Oh on the topic of noise and Texi's in Canberra, at the last one down there we had the EPA come due to noise complaints from an old man living up the valley. Annoying much?!

They tested the background noise, I offered them a ride and some food from the BBQ, then they left happy as larry

If you can do the form tonight it will be fine.

Licence paperwork is 10 minutes, no big deal.

Passengers are free but yes must wear the same clothing and helmets as drivers and must also sign the insurance paperwork before getting in the car (same form as drivers)

i remember that, old guy is still there by the way.

Oh great. Got a present for him;

But in all seriousness, once he moves on or just accepts the fact that the world sometimes makes noise, it will be a massive relief to SRDTC and hopefully will take a lot of the pressure off them

[L0Ki]

Just a quick question about the form.

When it comes to the "I/we ............... of .......????.................... being" part of the "ENTRANTS DISCLAIMER/ DECLARATION" form what goes after the of where the question marks are?

Such a noob question but i cant for the life of me figure out what to put there?

Il be scaning and sending the form in aswell to the email in the form.

Any forms sent in before 10 am tomorrow will be fine. Or if you're already spoken to Dave about it then you're fine aswel, but he checks all those with me and so far nothing like that has come up.

[N1GTR]

Thanks dude. Feel like a bit of goose for asking that now lol

We wont judge you....much

haha

Dont stress, if its your first time then dont be afraid to ask! Id rather people come up and ask rather than stand around not knowing what to do. Everyone there on the day is friendly so dont be afraid!

It's also a good idea to read the Texi FAQ's thread, there's a link in the first post.
