Damned Carbonetics twin plate clutch just went, stripped both clutch plates of their splines. Not bad after only 5000k's. Can't say I have ever seen that before.

Anyway, box dropped today, clutch plates replaced and should be back on the road tomorrow morning, just in time to pull it all apart again and do the coilovers. The things we do to get to the track... :P

What the hell were you doing to the poor clutch to cause that, lol?

We still have plenty of spots open for the day, so if you are on the fence, get off it, as the long range forecast is for 0% chance of rain.

Here is a little inspirational video from 2012 with Cam Mcconville doing a track walk.

Just a couple of questions

Firstly, I have filled out my CAMS Level 2 application, if I bring this on Saturday will I still be allowed on the track even though it hasn't officially been processed?

Also, my fire extinguisher is currently located by the floor of the passenger side rear seat, would this be acceptable?

How is it mounted? Securely with High Tensile Bolts and a Metal bracket/clasp or is it Tek screwed into the floor?

Can you reach it from your drivers seat while your seatbelt or harness is on and done up tight?

When entering, you selected to pay for CAMS as well? If so, bring the forms along on the day and we'll sign off on it :)

That position in the past has bedn generally acceptible. Though personally I'd like it closer.

Bring your cams paperwork and we, will sort you out.

It's fixed quite firmly with a high tensile screw to the seat mount.

Can definitely reach it while my seat belt is on.

Thanks for the quick feedback.

The notion of being able to reach the fire extinguisher whilst your harness is tightened is rubbish. When I'm strapped tight in my harness, I can barely turn my torso, let alone reach down to the floor pan to grab my fire extinguisher at my feet. Yet scrutineers have never said it's a problem in any event I've attended.

The only place I've seen these 'requirements' is in supplementary regulations for some events which are essentially "made up" by the club running the event. There is no such requirement stipulated in the CAMS manual.

anyone got room for a garage buddy?

I'm sure there will be many. John O is looking for a buddy, also has a 34 GTR. Silver R34 with BBS Wheels, catch him on the day.
