So once they signed off on it is it done and dusted...or can they revoke the permit if the want to?

Be a good event to be involved in...

OK, just spoke to the event Organisers...

IT IS STILL ON

Those that are one the list, should recieve their pre-entry forms etc on Monday

Really ?!?!?

A shame. Like i mentioned, the person i was speaking to is typically in the know, even if the organisers thought it was all sorted, this guys powder room chatter is normally right.

I understand that it was never going to happen until after the Coronial Inquest into PB accident.

yes I had heard that the road is governed by NSW RTA not the feds. so CAMS approval is all well and good, but if the RTA wont allow it, then it aint' going to happen. my advice from friend at the RTA was : "no chance"

Basically cancelled due to the fact there is no cages or anything needed. Buller and Lake Mountain etc are all still fine. Same with the other Targa events. It's just the Race to the Pie that's been canned.

And if I'm honest I kinda have to agree with the decision. There was nothing to stop Leewah and his 600awkw GT-R with NOS plumbed in running this event with no cage - which is kinda crazy.

Cage or not...you bend the car you bend the car. Thats the reason why i wouldnt do this sort of event...because im weak. The armco/rock face etc woudl have stopped you haveing a HUUUUGE moment. But a bent car would have not come as a surprise...but you never can tell how a big an accident can/will be.

Sits back and sees what happens to the other events planned before the Coronial Enquiry. In particular Lake Moutain in Jan, though we are close to Buller and its lookign liek going ahead.

Yep...and im not saying this is what IS going to happen, but considering there was a fatality in a more heavily regulated form of the sport, an accident involving a legend of the sport. Well there are ppl wanting to have a harder look at things.

Hopefully all quiet on the Western Front is a good thing for Buller

hmm that doesn't make sense....there are 50 events a year run on public roads for cars that don't require cages.....every hillclimb

Sounds like a good time to move to Vic then.

From the RTA

"With the unfortunate (and very public) deaths of a few drivers recently whilst competing in motorsport events, the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) have passed a rule that says that they will revoke ALL current events, and will refuse ALL future CAMS sanctioned events held on Public Roads in for which they are responsible for in NSW.."

RIP Motorsport in NSW

Being a member of quite a few car forums (as I'm sure most of you are) (not much of a contributor but I read everything) I have noticed the same problems people are having. Motorsport and car enthusiasts seem to be running into a brick wall 2m thick with a 5m steel bulkhead behind it. It really is sad. I hope these losers in government departments finally realise what their rulings are doing to car enthusiasts.

But I am just blowing off steam. I have seen people write similar things in a lot of threads.

I think we just have to keep trying.

Cheers guys (and girls)!!

Ha, that was going to be my next point

Every one? Now that is a shame.

Buladelah, Huntley.......

Why is it, we pay the highest amount for rego and CTP in the country, yet we have the poorest roads, and the least fun on them?

Actually in Vic we don't get to have all the cool little hill climb events like you guys do. We have MtBuller and Lake Mountain but they run under Tarmac Rally Specs.

Our old events like the Geelong Speed Trials, Arthurs Seat Hill Climb etc are all gone now. We only only have tracks and Tarmac Rally events. (Thats not 100% true. There are some hillclimbs but it seems only historics are eligable to run from what I've seen)

    • i will be there 😁
    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
