Supp Regs

Entry Form

you'll need a CAMS L2S licence, and a navigator with a CAMS L2S also. Usual safety and clothing requirements, except that rally regs require a 2kg fire extinguisher. I think they accept 2*1kg units also.

An information night will be held in the BSCC club rooms at 8:00pm on Thursday 17th

August. For those crews “not sure”, this evening will provide more details on the event and

also explain the type of navigation to be used, together with crew and car requirements.

There will be 8 special tests which range from a sprint on QR, motokhana test, closed road sections at Toowoomba, Wivenhoe and Gatton, a test at Willowbank drag strip and the Ipswich autocross track - your car will get dirty! it is a rally after all! There are navigation sections between the special tests. The BSCC info night is a must for people who haven't done this kind of thing before! They will explain how to read a map and the types of navigation used.

Its basically a little taste of tarmac rallying (along the lines of a Dutton Rally) at an affordable price. I enter for the special tests and couldn't care less how much we stuff up the navigation!

No speeding or stupid behaviour on public roads will be condoned. Your car will have door cards identifing you as a BSCC and CAMS competitor, and you are representing these bodies and the sport whilst on public roads. Police are notified of the route, and the organisers have radar equipment and do conduct speed chacks at various places on the route. People have been excluded from events in the past, and there is one person who is currently banned from all competitions for a year for repeat speeding offences on previous events. NCR's also have provisions for competitors who do not abide by this rule to be charged, and may face loss of CAMS licence and fines. So if you cannot abide by this simple rule, don't bother entering.

Hoe does one go about getting a CAMS L2S licence?? I race at QR and have done a few events at Mt Cotton, but no idea on a CAMS Licence.

Also, cost involved??

You need to be a member of a cams affiliated club to aquire a cams licience...

I was a members of the hold drivers club of australia for 3 years when i was doing targa events in the BMW. I never had a holden but i was a member just for the ability to get a cams licience. My membership and licience expired early this year to be honest.

I only ever used the licience at Noosa Hill climbs and at Targa Tasmania (3 years entered).

Cost was if i remember correctlly about $320 for the actuall licience training and testing. You must be a member for an affliated club tho to maintain the licience. I let mine expire cause i never really used it. Plus this year was my last targa tasmania due to costs. This year cost us just over 11 grand to get there and back and compete.

If you interested Dave you may want to join SAU VIC club as they are cams affiliated... You can maintain you qld membership also, just use VIC to get the licience and maintain it...

To actually get your licicence just contact vic club execs and or cams directlly.

Cheers Col

CAMS L2S licence costs $88 + membership of a CAMS afilliated car club. The club will have the licence application form for you fill out. The club will issue a temporary licence until the proper one is mailled out to you by CAMS.

Some of the cheaper clubs around are NDSCC - Northern Districts Sporting Car Club, HSCC - Holden Sporting Car Club, MGCCQ - MG Car Club of QLD. list of CAMS Clubs here

is anyone else going to enter? here's a taste of what to expect with some in-car footage of a couple of the closed road stages from the last time I did this event in 2004 in my old Datsun 1200 coupe not the greatest camera angle, but the cage made it hard to mount my rather bulky camera any higher and still see out the front at all. They are both 5.6M, not dial-up friendly!

Harry I know you will see Dave Gaines / Nikki Doyle there (again). I take it you will be in the 32?

Work commitments pulled the rug out from underneath my entry; direct impact of someone else feelin they were too stressed to be there. Not happy, but it did prod me into getting one of Geoff's HICAS lock bars.

All I have is reasonable access to in-car to see what I will miss out on.

Geoff isn't the old "Victoria - the place to be" slogan such a misnomer? I reckon that's why they brought in "on the move" - just missed out on the "to Queensland" ending.

cheers

sorry to hear that Geoff. here's to a speedy recovery!

and Dale, I'm sure the in-car from the fat lady or 4dr Zed or whatever they're calling it after its recent spruce up will really whet your appetite. It certainly looks tuff with those 15*8"s now!

there's always next year anyway. I'll try my best to fly the Skyline flag against all those WRX and STi's in the meantime.

Nicely done Harry, and thanks for the kind thoughts. Unfortunately having surgery through exactly the same site means longer recovery -> can't sell the house (work to do) -> can't get home to Brisbane.

And Dale.... Victoria - the place to be...defected, well if you own an import. I'm lucky I haven't had to tear a copper apart on a defect yet.

Sorry so long to post. Slow recovery so I'm barely on but the pics give me some enthusiasm.

Nice work Harry. Car looks schmick, nice simple and clean. Do you require a navi for those rally/offorad/tarmac events?

Hope your recovery is relatively pain free and quick mate....and here i was thinking you were actually a mexican! Banana benders FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, you do need a naviator for these events, but they only need to hold a L2S licence. This event is great fun - you get to play Targa Tasmania for a day - well, sort of... the stages are alot shorter and the navigation sections don't exist in Targa, but these are still pretty special events. good atmosphere amongst the competitors too.

and Prince Henry Drive is great fun at full noise!

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
