Please note new regulations for FHR (Frontal head restraints)

2020 SAFETY & FRONTAL HEAD RESTRAINT REQUIREMENTS Due to a revision in CAMS Schedule D, As of January 1, 2020 there are new requirements around the use of Frontal Head Restraints (FHR) for drivers at Speed events (club level).

The revised Schedule D https://www.cams.com.au/docs/default-source/manual/general-requirements/schedule-d.pdf shows the following;

FHR for SPEED Events, from 1 January 2020.

I. It is mandatory that a FHR compliant with Standard A and a Helmet compliant with Standard A is worn when competing in:
A. Each 1st Category automobile, except for a Superkart or a 5th Category automobile which is exempt from the use of a FHR;
B. Each automobile the subject of a CAMS Log Book which applies a RACE, RALLY/ROAD,OFF ROAD or 5th CATEGORY classification whereby that automobile when used in an event applicable to its Log Book classification requires the mandatory use of a FHR.
 

II. The use of a FHR is not required for a Road Registered automobile for a SPEED Event whereby the necessary equipment for the correct use of a FHR is not fitted to the automobile (i.e.5/6 point safety)

In Addition to the new CAMS Schedule D Requirements the Impreza WRX Club will be imposing an additional regulation that any car (incl road registered) that has the following compliant items (1) race seat, (2) roll cage and (3) harness bar will be required to also use FHR and a FHR Compliant Helmet & Harness, when competing in any event.

Any expense incurred by a Competitor to the hired track or its equipment shall be the sole responsibility of the Competitor.

- When you come in from your session do not park the car, do a few cool down laps of the pits. This brings your brakes and fluids temps down.

Technical Information

This is a guide and you should always alter these to your car and driving style.

Tyres

Street Tyres

These tyres have a softer sidewall for smoother feel on the road. If you lower the pressure too far they will come off the wheels!

36-40PSI Hot

Sticky Street Tyres (AD08/RS3/R1R/123/KU36/RSR)

These tyres have a harder sidewall than a normal road tyre, some much harder than others. They are not prone to rolling off the wheels and pressure is more about maintaining the heat range of the surface and through the caucus of the tyre. Maintaining the heat range, gaining the maximum contact patch is what these tyres are about.

AD08/RS3

Not under 30PSI Hot

Not above 34PSI Hot

Others

Not under 34PSI Hot

Not above 38PSI Hot

R compound (aka semi's)

The sidewall on these type are tyres are 'rock hard' and will stay on the wheel with very little pressure. They however, like the sticky road tyres operate within a heat range, so pressure is important in maintaining the heat range and maximising the contact patch.

Not under 26PSI

Not above 34PSI

Some R compound tyres will operate effectively with higher pressure under certain circumstances (AO48/R888/NT01)

Not under 36PSI

Not above 40PSI

To have a successful cruise its a good idea to list the following things.

Meet Location - List the location and put a Melway reference where possible. Melways are always helpful

Meet Time - Obviously so people know what time they are meant to be at the meet point

Destination - Where does the cruise intend on going? So that people can workout roughly how long the cruise is going for, and where its going.

Extra Info - Maybe people might need to bring a dollar for a cruise map, or a pen to mark off things if it was a scavenger hunt type of event.

Even how long the cruise duration is.

Basically just list anything that might help people attending your cruise.

Apparently there has also been a small issue regarding SAU-Vic cruises and public cruises, and some people being unable to differentiate between the two for whatever reason. So to cover this one off please read the following.

Unless an event/cruise is posted by a , and clearly stated to be official. Then the cruise is deemed to be unofficial and has nothing to do with the SAU-Vic club itself.

At times a will organise an event, thats totally ok. But just remember, it has nothing to do with SAU-Vic.

The person is just organising a cruise as any other forum member would do.

If someone has a suggestion or something i missed.

Lemme know and I'll add it in.

Cheers - Ash
