    [SA Cars Spotted Thread #3]

    in South Australia

    Posted

    Spotted my mate in his r33 gtst and I driving at the collingrove hillclimb :) great fun!! Also met David with his r33 GTR V-Spec who also entered

    Had a great day Scott - good to see you and the crew. :action-smiley-069:

    Guys

    This went much better than your descriptions of last year.

    I was near last in a field of 82 first run was about 11:30

    Got six runs in by 3PM

    After the second run the process had refined to:

    - we were doing burnouts as the car in front was launching up the hill

    - cars released when car in front of that was half tgrack at S2

    - so a car was being released about every 20 to 30 seconds.

    Although the scruteneering and paperwork was slow in the morning (but on time to the program) once up and running it was all good.

    I would recommend this to people considering the Come and Try at Collingrove.

    Skyline Nationals - Mallala Sprint - Sept 12

    I would like to personally thank all of those that assisted and organised with the track day.

    I had a great day even if my car didnt comply with my wishes.

    I would also like to thank the participants. I thought that generally the particpants were a little short on information and instructions (particularly during registration and scruteneering) but to their credit no one was getting fussed or upset and everyone went with the flow.

    The organisers on the day did not quite have all of the tools they would have liked; but successfully got everyone registered, scrutineered and on the track. It is a credit to them that by mid afternoon everyone had pretty well had enough sessions and the event had moved from running behind schedule to being well in front. As an example the procedure from the chief steward of announcing the cars and telling them to hurry up and get there or we move on to the next group was right on the money. Well done guys.

    Some earlier comments were made about suggestions for the next Skyline Nationals and I would like to make a few comments that might assist:

    1. Forum
      A forum on the Skyline Nationals web site where participants can ask dumb questions would be useful. THis would also serve to informally pass information to other particpants. A topic on extinguisers. A topic on timing procedures. A topic on tethering suction cup mounted stuff.
    2. Checklist
      A scrutineering, registration and licencing checklist for each particpant would greatly help the participants understand what was required before hitting the track and provide for each bit to get signed off.
      In a perfect would you would register first, then scrutineer the car, then check the driver clothing and the like but a checklist would allow for people to just make sure they get everything done even if necessarily in any particular order. This would take pressure off the organisers from gates open.
    3. Sprint Groups
      On the assumption that we had a forum people could nominate to be in a group for the practice and first timed sessions and let the organisers reallocate later in the day ie if RH9 is in group 2 and I would rather be in another group where I dont have to watch it go past me every third lap.
    4. Equipment
      While the organisers can still remember they should post up a list of all the equiment that they require ie 5 green flags, two chequered flags, 5 red flags, 20 UHF radios and the like. This will help the next guys.
    5. Car numbers
      Post them on the forum in the weeks leading up to the event - first in first served. Specify the mounting and size requirements to make it easy for the timers if required.
    6. Track familiarity
      Grab all of the drivers (lets say eighty for an even bigger event next time) and squeeze them into two groups of ten cars and take them out on the track for the briefing to show them some of the critical points like start finish and pit entry.
    7. Scrutineering
      I thougth the scrutineering guys were very professional, very helpful (particularly given the large number that had never had a car scrutineered before and the huge range of 'guises that vehicles appeared in) and were mostly concerned about safety rather than nit picking on any particular strict regulations. I was not aware of any inconsistencies that were discussed by particpants. The check list would have helped them. The event was not the V8 supercars and the scrutineers did not treat in like the V8 supercars. They were great.

    The track day was a great event and all partipants would have been happy with what was achieved during the day.

    Again, my thanks to the organisers and hope to make my way to NSW in two years time.

    Advanced Driving Course Trackday #2

    in South Australia

    Posted

    High Performance Drive Day = Level 2B course = November 22 (Monday)

    mark it in your diary!

    it's five months from now, so no one should have the excuse of not being able to book some time off or get their car ready for it.

    the official thread will be launched soon and i'll have the enrolment forms ready to go then. this day will fill up fast as plenty of people have done the course before and want to do it again.

    Put me straight on the list thanks :-)

    Intercooler pipe reattached by Nyt so car made it home.

    Rich had fouled up the plugs a bit but by the time I got home it was idling like a kitten again.

    Had a great day guys - Thanks to Kim and Luke.

    Absolutely keen for 23 November 2009. I might even be able to provide some more entertainment for the fans.

    Cheers
