Roy Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well, it seems we have Team Manager role all sewed up. GTRGeoff may be able to help out, but is still recovering from back surgery, so will see?!?!? But, just speaking to a friend, and he is keen to help us out. He has been Crew Chief for a Nascar team back when they were running. Plus plenty of other experience in all things motorsport. He ia a champion guy and a car/motorsport nut. So would be perfect for the job. Im even more stoked baout this now. With the right ppl involved this is going to be awesome fun, and with someone like this full time on the stopwatch and in the pits, well on that front we are a fair chance of doing well (not that it really matters...but a trophy would be cool) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130072-phillip-island-6-hour-relay/page/2/#findComment-2414260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontiff Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Prerequisite for L2SJ Licence Holders. As a prerequisite, all 2SJ licence holders MUST have competed at the Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit in some form of competition, within the past 12 months and will be required to participate in an observed practice session during practice for this event. Proof of prior participation in an event at Phillip Island must be presented at documentation. (A set of results, or notations in activity section of licence, which must have been signed off by a senior official of that meeting, will be accepted). Whats the standard CAMS license that we have L2S I think aint it?.... Whats an 2SJ license?

GTRgeoff Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 OK Team manager hat is ON (unless health prevents it but count me in). That prerequisite is for L2S Junior so open L2S is fine. Aaron, congrats on the good news. Have you contacted a local brake and clutch place? They should have disc blanks available from RDA that can be machined to size and slotted. Racebrakes should have a decent price on pads as well, for example GTR genuine pads are about $1000 but $270 for the front axle in RB74 compound. Worth an ask. How are we for team numbers? If we are short I'd love to offer a slot to one of the guys from SelectMaz. Can't guarantee they would take it but it would be good exposure and they are a great bunch. Watch for a new topic shortly in the VIC section where I thankl them for their support. I'll also ask Spence if he wants to tag along to watch and swing some spanners on the day. He's a very highly qualified mechanic, so much so that he almost can't swing spanners anymore. Geoff out.

I am going to ring around, but we'll see what I can find... BMW should be able to help somewhat with their pads, but I think the Ferrodo DS2500's would be appropriate for this sort of application I have asked the MRS permission to join this event .... Andrew and I are heading out to teh 2nd hand tyre places in Reserviour tomorrow to see what we can find the way of rubber Cheers, Aaron Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/130072-phillip-island-6-hour-relay/page/2/#findComment-2414448 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTRgeoff Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well done Aaron. I normall go to Northwest, but they were taking a new delivery yesterday so I couldn't get in. I went to Newlands tyres and got great prices for the 17's so give both a shot, but it seems Newlands are cheaper. Hope that helps, pity about RDA but maybe thay or Racebrakes can do custom hats and replacement discs for the price of original BMW.
