There is already motorsport sponsors for the c/ship, so that should extent to anything further related to it as a value add rather than seeking additional.

Indeed DECA is different, and maybe not discuss this week... But DECA is the 'gateway' to motorsport for SAU Vic and the broader community. Lots started at DECA and are now on the track so certainly needs to be a part of the overall motorsport agenda.

There seems to be lots of rumours around about what is (or is not) happening to DECA itself... It would be good to see information surrounding that brought to members attention and also the sponsors. That comers back to the point around communication with member base, awareness and the feeling of involvement etc. Never know, someone might have a left field idea :)

Deca right now is up in the air. What was discussed in the wrap up thread has slightly evolved. Put simply, the future of deca is now out of our hands. Deca has allegedly been advised not to accept AASA insurance, meaning CAMS is the only option. AASA is aware of this and is working through it. We have overcome the issues we faced after the last deca and SAU Victoria has been invited back. The issue is that if AASA don't get up and we have to start running the event with CAMS then there will be some significant changes and increases in cost.

Once we know the outcome with AASA we will advise further.

We are working on other backup plans which could be pretty damn cool if they go ahead but they too will get revealed when we know where we stand.

Same. EVERYONE should get on it!

Some issues that can be raised:

- Lack of venues willing to accommodate grass root/club events.

- Bureaucratic/red tape issues for event organisers.

- Need for club track car registration to reduce costs.

- Noise restrictions at events.

also worth mentioning are that AASA licences (for eg national racing licence) isnt permitted at CAMS L2S events, even though its a step above the CAMS equivalent.

Would you believe I filled it out earlier this arvo and that's pretty much what I said? :thumbsup:

I let them have it, easy 700+ words in the open comments sections just on all of that and why it's so broken.

I would encourage everyone to do the same also. Let them have it, CAMS need a lot of hard honest truths.

Shared in the NSW Motorsport thread and the tarmac rally thread. :)

Seen the latest CAMS newsletter?

Come and Try Days - which can be incorporated into club regular events

CAMS offering support to Clubs to run "Come and Try Days" for more details we need to contact CAMS Sport and Club Development Officer on [email protected].

Is this something new, could we work this in to cover our passenger/driver training points?

I've never done circuit racing before and i got roped into doing this 6hr thing with a few blokes i know. Iv drifted the car heaps of times with zero cooling issues. Gotta hit up a winton fun day to get a taste of this circuit racing people speak of. Excited to say the least :woot:

This is why I will be applying for my sau vic membership this week ash. Iv been itching to get amongst it all now that I no longer drift. Fun times ahead!

Whens the next round ash?

Just follow that thread mate, 19th July is the next and it's @ PI

Bit of a break in June, fair call too, weather can be sketchy.

Foook yeah for PI :D

Oooohhh if I get my brake pads and stuff in and fitted before the event then i'm IN.

Membership sent in :)

Edit: Who's used the Project MU Club racer carbon/ceramic pads?

Edited by LTHLRB

I use Club Racers on my road registered car, they work from cold and they hold up for a full sprint session, readily available for my calipers - good enough for me.

I wasn't experienced enough when using other pads to advise whether bite/modulation etc is better with these.

    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
