Deca Convoy Information

[paulr33]

Hi All,

It's that time again for SAU VIC's DECA Motorkhana fun day.

This will be held at the lovely DECA facility in Shepparton VIC.

There will be our usual convoy cruises for both the Friday night crew and early Saturday morning. Of course you can travel in your own time accordingly but it is much easier in a group, and more fun. Previously we were meeting at McMobil on the Hume Hwy but now that the bypass is open it may be more convinient for others so we are all meeting there.

Meeting point address

Shell Roadhouse

Hume Hwy

Donnybrook VIC 3064

Melway 365 C5

DECA Address

145 Wanganui Rd Shepparton

There will be two official convoy's heading up to DECA next weekend.

Some important notes;

1. Please bring CB radio's to assist in communication during the convoy

3. We have a wide range of cars running on the day from full race spec cars to daily streeters

where's this shell station in relation to the craigieburn bypass?

[Snowman]

Crispy Fries - its past the bypass - so just after where the bypass joins up with the old Hume Hwy.

The bypass is so cool. "I'm sorry Mr Dent but you have to build bypasses"

Cheers

[Bass Junky]

I'm da Man!

PS

That's a 5am meet, and a 5:30 leave.

and I'm VERY prompt with my leaving times.

The new bypass is excellent and saved us a lot of time on the return trip (didnt use it on the way up). Came back along it when coming back from Hotham 3 weeks back. There are speed cameras on it not that anyone would need to know Gutted I am missing this one but roll on May B)

[funkymonkey]

speed cameras? Any between cooper st and the ring road? I use that section almost every week at velocities that needn't be mentioned.

I believe I saw one in that section the only time I've used the bypass so far, in the median area I believe

[R32Big_boy]

I'll see you guys when you get to shep friday night, i'll be there beer in hand.

Inbound, on the bypass, theres a speed camera after every single bridge, they're very obvious though. But my being half asleep at 3am, I almost got caught

[CrispyFries]

are they operational yet? the bypass hasn't been open all that long

[Mr. Oizo]

I'm not sure...

I was going at 110 through there, after being on the hume at 110, and only saw the camera at the last minute, I braked and I haven't recieved a fine yet, so either they're not functional or I slowed down enough not to get caught...

They're infra-red ones though, because when you drive past them, at the right angle, you can see a weird beam of light. So they have to be working...

[dezz]

so all the new cameras on the westgate fwy etc, and towards geelong, are they point to point or just regular speed cameras?

off topic yes, but you guys were onto this topic already, and I MIGHT come up on saturday for a look, if so, ill be at the shell at 5am for the convoy.

Yep thats them, very obvious. On the poles next to the road not hanging from bridges etc.
