  1. So this is just a Skylines Australis requirement? I was at a wakefiled speed off the streets track day recently with no requirement for an extinguisher?

    Where do i get one from (cheap and within 3 weeks)?

    Thanks

    Most days with timing require fire extinguishers and is a requirement from our insurance

    In my opinion it's piece of mind having one, could be what's stops your car burning to the ground

    Supercheap auto, autobarn etc stock them on the shelf, usually only $20ish

    Just make sure it's the type with metal strap and bracket and 1kg minimum

  2. Hey guys I know a lot of you are not new to track days and will know what I'm talking about but for the newbies I will be outlining what will be expected when you come see myself and others in the scrutineering shed

    First things first empty your car of all loose objects, don't want to have things rolling around in the car

    This will include the drivers floor mat for worst case scenario of it catching on the pedals.

    While we are inside we will check your seat belts for condition, standard belts are fine no need to splash out for a harness but each to their own

    Fire extinguisher is next which will need to be securely mounted WITHIN REACH of the driver, which means if you cant reach it while seated it needs to be moved.

    Also make sure your fire extinguisher is within the green band on the gauge for obvious reasons

    There are guides floating around the forum of where and how to mount in skylines

    Next up is checking for any leaks present on your vehicle

    This is pretty self explanatory, make sure there is no oil, water, power steering etc leaks present otherwise no tracks for you

    At the same time we will be checking other components within the engine bay to make sure everything is in a roadworthy condition and doesn't present a hazard

    Battery will be checked next for security so it won't move under super late braking and super crazy g forces

    Factory restraint is fine for this

    That basically covers the car now we move onto YOU!!

    We check that you are wearing clothes that cover you from ankle to wrist so long pants long sleeve shirt closed shoes (sorry mateetee no hot pants and heels)

    At scrutineering we will be checking your helmet is Australian certified should have a silver and sticker AS1698 eg

    59822938-4E24-41D4-A6DF-8D7811B029CD.jpg

    This is minimum standard

    And make sure it is in good condition no cracks etc

    If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I'll try help you out

    See you all on the day in the scrutineering shed!!!
