Targa West Officials Required Asap!

caminperth · August 5, 2005

Hi all,

I'm helping to get hold of chicane officials for Taga West in September. Presently there is only 8 teams of officials and we need another 10 to be able to cover this event.

Chicanes are required to keep the stage average speed below 132km/h as required by CAMS and the FIA. WA does not have that many tight twisty roads (compared to Tassie for example) so we will need between 16 to 19 teams to set-up the required number of chicanes for the event, something like about 75 in total over the 4 days.

Each chicane team will be made up of 3 people, one is the senior post marshal SPM (you!), another is the bollard replacement marshal (BRM) and the last is a flag marshal. Unless you are keen to join up with another person that you know, already on this list, I would like you to think about getting a couple of your friends/family involved so you can be out there with good company and enjoy yourself at the same time.

The itinerary shows a few stages are repeated and a few others are spread out across the region, so if you have any preference to either stay in one place (with one set-up) and watch the cars pass you a few times, or travel around (set up, pack away, move, repeat) and see as many different stages as possible.

The details for training and events are as follows. Please note that training is not compolsory, so if you can't make both dates you can still be involved.

Training - AHG Driver Training Center, Grogan Road, Perth Airport

7th August (Sunday) - 11am

14th August (Sunday) - 11am

Chicane Team Meeting - Venue TBA

9th September (Friday) - 7:30am to finish

Please contact Mitch Templar on 0418 959 023 or myself via PM to register your interest and he will email you the appropriate forms, itinerary, maps ect. Please get involved if you can.

Hi all again..

Just an update on this. I've just been to the first training and it looks like we should be very close to the action. If any of you can give up some time to support this event I'd urge you to give it a go.

Masahiro/Col - good to meet you guys. See you at the next meet. Shame I didn't get to check out your FD Col - I've had an unhealthy hankering for an FD for a while now..

Morlock - didn't meet you there - though hopefully will next time.

yeah nice to meet you colin and cam.. it was better than i expected cos i thought it would be all old euros but seems like there are enough japanese and domestic cars plus the porsche!

well see you guys this weekend and for those who are thinking about it do get involved cos the line up of cars are modern japanese, european and aussie muscle to satisfy any car enthusiast... didnt see any skyline though....

We still need a few more people. From hearing about some of the cars that are going to be involved this is going to be good fun..

totoro · August 15, 2005

caminperth · September 5, 2005

Hi guys - just an update on Targa West - the official course cars are going to be skylines! Should be a great event with over 60 cars entered. Try to get out and support it if you can.

gtrken · September 12, 2005

Ohh , and if CAMS is reading this , we didn't average more than 132kmh for the stage..

Cheers

Ken

Ken - Wells Glover was one of my chicane stages. Standing on the outside of the corner at the 200m board is a silly thing to do, but the cars looked fantastic heading towards you at 180+!

And yea - it never happened. I'm not a good judge of speed and we definitely didn't watch from the outside of any corners..

caminperth · September 12, 2005

Also got over 1000 hi-res shots. Will post some links to selected pics once I've sorted them.
