Renew Trackday - Eastern Creek South Circuit - December 1


Recommended Posts

RENEW's final track day for 2012 is happening at Sydney motorsport park (Eastern Creek) on the 1st of December, on the new South circuit.

Limited numbers, low track density, Passenger sessions and heaps and heaps of fun. Driver tuition is available for all first timers.

Details & entry forms are available at http://rotaryenthusiasts.com/

Hope to see you all there, spectators are free, members $250, non members $290 (CAMS LS2 Licence required), Passengers need to get a $30 wrist band to ride all day in any of your mates cars during the passenger sessions

This is a good chance for anyone who's still keen after the SAU nationals to get another fix at a local venue. All cars welcome and first timers encouraged as always.

I've found out that AASA club licenses are ok for this event but can't modify the post above. It's important that people organise the license before the event, unlike Wakefield Park licenses arent available on the day at SMSP.

That means that if you've got a AASA license from the nationals event you're good to go.

We're only 50% full for the upcoming trackday at Eastern Creek. What does that mean for you? Firstly HEAPS of quality track time - less cars means more clean laps and PBs. It also means you've still got time to send your entry in but act quick entries will close mid week (exact date TBC).

As for another series I really enjoyed the SAU v RENEW events and we're open to sharing days with other clubs but have nothing planned around that as yet. Around the last events there was a lot of discussion on here about timed events vs running untimed with passengers all day amongst other things so thats something SAU NSW needs to discuss internally first if something like that were to happen again. If both clubs (and this isnt specific to RENEW) arent on the same page the result wont be what it could have been.

We will now accept entries on Friday or on the morning of the event but to do so you need to contact me (Chris) directly via phone or SMS on 0410313104 to arrange your payment and confirm a position.

Thanks to everyone that came out to the track yesterday. We had a bit of rain and blistering temps but the day went well especially for our first time on a new track. Was good to see the stag out there having a good time but would have liked to see a few skylines too. We'll be posting up pics on our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/renewrotary If anyone took their own pics please feel free to share on the page or comment with the link.

    • Yeah I'm keeping an eye on it and might take it out as a once off if this doesn't fully charge. I did some research that said it's normal in equalisation charging. Voltage I thought was 20+ (faulty battery in multimeter) but now its on 15.9v, the max it should go to is 16.2v as per the manual. I'll provide an update once hopefully it's actually fully charged and in float mode. Waiting for it to go to 16.2v and not higher and see what happens. What I suspect has happened is that even though it's not an old battery, I did leave the car turned off for almost 4 weeks at one point then left it off for another 2 weeks which might have erroded the battery and is taking a long time to do this equlisation charge.
    • I wouldn't be using the seats a lot since it's on Historic rego and will not be driven a lot, however I also don't want to fork out 3k for something that won't last. Havent looked at BRZ seats, aiming for something of the same era I did speak to him on the phone once, and I do see your point haha. How many kms do you think you drove before they started wearing out? Just had a look at yours, certainly looking for a reclinable version. The Brides don't look too bad! I would still like to sit in one just to make sure it's what I'm after.    Thanks for the replies fellas. 
    • I bought my Bride reps from Crank Motorsport. He is, um, a trifle disorganised. I would have to look back at the e-mails to make sure I got it right, but I think he sent me normal fabric ones when I ordered the "Alcantara" ones. So he had to pay for shipping 3x and I'm sure that f**ked him off big time. And asking technical questions where nuanced English is required is a no go. It's simple English only. And....should I have bought the Alcantara ones? Well, as it turns out, they are great, feel great, etc, but the fabris wore through on the point of the waist bolster in <2 years. Must have caught a rip from a rivet on jeans or shorts, or something like that. So now I have to patch it somehow. A bit shit. My fault, ultimately, because it is Chinesium Faux Alcantara, not the real thing, and it turns ot that it has the tear resistance of a soggy tissue. But the seats and the reails are great. I probably should have gotten the R34 style ones, and now that they price is up in that ridiculous sort of number, I could have sold them for a profit!
    • Another recco is to just let it rest for a while and go back and reconnect later.
    • keep an extinguisher nearby? or even better, take it out of the car to charge?
