oh yeah price defs starts to add up. i see the licence as something you pay every year enabling you to attend an event whenever you can. though i understand people who wouldnt get enough use to justify it

In the scheme of things though, it's probably the cheapest part of motorsport.

If DECA is a regular thing now and we get 4 a year it's pretty well justified. Never know when you wanna go club racing and can just do it on a whim.

[emts]

already have the date for the next one is shepp.

plus the foresite training one for some close to home action

[Birds]

What's the story behind the return to deca? Owners change of heart?

[emts]

so the issue was that the new owners required CAMS insurance not ASAA that we had been running under

Cams took a look and said hell no, no way is that safe.

so a number of car clubs (SAUVic included) did some working bees to put up tyre bundles and such to get it across the line.

CAMS have now given the OK on a safety front

so we good to go.

Yeah I'm more inclined to do DECA rather than a tack day less wear on the car.. my brakes would be cooked and would want an intercooler before going on the track, at least with deca it's quick little stints

Even though my car would be woeful with the current tyres, it's Achilles heel (plus it's just big, and auto)

[emts]

but falcons do so well

What Achilles you running?

mine are coming off after about 30km on them

lol put up that vid of the falcon sliding sideways up over the grass hill

Getting new front AD08R's fitted up tomorrow, current ones are flat spotted after my sandown incident.

Entries will be available very soon, throwing together a quick and dirty online entry page at the moment.

I see

Well that is good news

What's with the big price increase? New owners charging more for rental? Though it's been a while since I've done deca so it may be more incremental than it seems to me

last lot were 80-85 off top of head so yes it is an increase.

more rent, insurance cost more,

short of it is we will prob loose a small amount on it with the increase!

[emts]

That dilemma between getting good times and wasting good tyres on deca

[UNR33L]

Dunno what Achilles I have.. Sport 2? or something dunno lol

Would be shocking on the skidpan given that when I did it in my N/a 33 it span easily.. another 3x the power with shitter tyres.. hrm.

Simon seems a waste to scrap those fronts? how bad are they?
