R31Nismoid Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/442503-sau-vic-motorsport-discussion/page/2/#findComment-7270570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belsil80 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 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.

billywhiz Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Just completed the CAMS survey to pass on my thoughts regarding motorsport, wonder where it will end up :-) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/442503-sau-vic-motorsport-discussion/page/2/#findComment-7274147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belsil80 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/442503-sau-vic-motorsport-discussion/page/2/#findComment-7274302 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you believe I filled it out earlier this arvo and that's pretty much what I said? 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. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/442503-sau-vic-motorsport-discussion/page/2/#findComment-7274359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

billywhiz Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 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.
