Skyzerr,

I think that a performance based club, with a similar vane to the WA Sporting Car Club, except primarily for Import Vehicles. I think that there are many area in which we could see ourselves entering, including Auto-salons, dyno-shootouts, drags, Motorkhana's etc, which would make us unique in WA. There is some room for a bit of rice, but a club based on hard street-driven import vehicles is my idea.

Please feel free to suggest other approaches.

Paul , I doubt there is many serious members who will do track days , Khanas etc.

Had Radium , PVA Glue and myself all posting re. MC days, Norberts Max Action days and the Collie sprints with virtually no response.

I personally cannot see why we ( SAU WA ) should go to all the expense of setting up , affiliation, club structure , minutes, reporting, Auditing etc etc if all everyone wants to do is crooz and go to the drags.

As I posted a while ago, why dont we just join an existing club who is already affiliated with CAMS and just run our own chapter.

Cheers

Hmm good Point there Ken. Must admit we get minimal turnout for those kind of events and im a culprit too(mainly due to money probs). Would save us alot of time and money.

Still if we have enuff willing members why not go ahead?(im not talking about ppl who say they will be in then bail the day b4, not pointing finger at all) sure alot of ppl are all show and no go but thats to be expected by nissan drivers j/k nah seriously if we can manage to pull 5 or so members for an event then that cant be too bad can it? as long as we can get enuff to represent the club. Hey if anything falls through id be more then happy to drive ure car Ken

Ken,

I agree that at them moment it may be a struggle to find enough interest in some of these things, but if you setup a club with this in mind, then you will begin to attract like-minded people.

I don't disagree with what your saying, but I do believe that there are enough people in WA to form a descent sized club and that you would find enough entries into these events over time.

I don't think we should limit it to just Skylines, any Jap import or other car enthusiast should be welcome, unless they drive an Excel or Lancer, haha.

In competitions and Auto salons then only those cars that would respresent the club well should be allowed in, we want a performance based club, not another ricer.

Performance based club eh? i recon no r33s allowed.

Better get the flame suit on , I can see a LARGE flame coming .

Back on topic , maybe we should post a poll to see who will compete in the type of events that requires CAMS insurance , hence the reason for having a proper club ?

RB20LagWagon,

Got that 12 yet? *rub salt into wound* Even Macka's whale managed that!

Ken,

I think it is one of those things, that once you have a club that is able to compete in CAMS events that more people who are inclined to do that stuff will join. I'm keen to do motorkhana events, and I'd like to do track stuff but can't risk my only car. If I had another car then I'd be in like a shot.

The last year I have had serious financial troubles (and I still do) but as soon as I can land a job, I will be in every racing event possible.

well get into it boyo, theres MC days , Enjo Speed event Series which is laps of Wanners , collie, hillclimbs at meelup and Wellington dam , Norberts Max Action etc.

There is more than enough stuff to do with a near std car but every one talks about but very few do it.

This is why I wonder about the reasoning behind forming ANOTHER one make type club in WA that pays huge fees to CAMS.

Read the fine print.

Ken,

Once I have my twin/triple plate clutch put back in and get my coil-overs properly tuned then I will be more than happy to join in these events.

You'll need to take it easy on me, casue I don't want to wreck my car.

See'ya:burnout:

[gtrken]

I can tell you nothing you do to your car on those events is any worse than the abuse you give it at the drags.

The only difference being is that you will have to brake and turn corners which for some people is a novel idea.

Cheers

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yeah, I'm cool with that, but the abuse from the drags has shat my clutch and my suspension needs adjusting for cornering, willing to accept your help in setting my car up.

Ken,

i'd end up doing CAMS events... but a) I've already got 2 cams affiliations already and B) I don't have a Skyline (even tho that would probably not be a problem)

Ken,

I'd be interested in you doing a separate thread detailing the steps we need to get a CAMS license, including cost, just to compete in some of the events around town.

See'ya:burnout:

[Pva_Glue]

yeah Mr.Ken it would be nice to know how much time and money involved in getting CAMS...

cheers

[gtrken]

For level 2 which is all you would need for most events is fill out the form and pay money ( noy sure but will check , I think under $100 )

For level 3 or National Rally fill out a form , pay more money , do an online test ( bout $200 )

For level 5 or International Rally , fill out form , do medical , pay LOTS more money ( bout $600 ) and do an online test.

For racing , totally different and XRW is pretty up on it cos he was the AFARCC CAMS steward last year.

* cue deeeeeennnnnnnvvvveeeerrrr *
