EASTERN CREEK MAIN CIRCUIT DRIFT AND GRIP

16th of September, 2006

Once again, Eastern Creek main circuit is open for drift! It provided some of the most interesting battles of the year in Drift Australia, and is one of the most fun drift tracks in the country. Don’t miss out, since we’re don’t have this track booked again in the near future.

If you're wondering what the track looks like, here's an in-car video from Powercruise (needs DivX codec).

Sessions will alternate during the day, between Drift and Grip. The drifting sessions will use the whole track (apart from the main straight and turn 1).

What this means is that you can drive in any combination of drift and grip events that you like. Grip all day, then have some fun in the drift sessions, or just spend all day drifting.

It's one price for all entrants.

The day will be on, regardless of weather.

Since this is mainly a drift event, the grip guys are guaranteed a whole lot of uncrowded track time.

$200 Initial Drift full members

*All entry fees for drivers include access to both sessions*

CAMS L2NS licence: $46

NOTE:

A CAMS licence and CAMS club membership is now a requirement for all drivers. If you have a CAMS licence and club membership to another car club, that can be used.

Yearly Initial Drift Membership: $170 for the first year. Includes t-shirt, stickers and membership card and discounts on all event entries.

Yearly Initial Drift Associate Membership: $50 - this gives you a CAMS club membership with no discount benefits. Associate membership can be upgraded to full membership at any time.

All licences and memberships are available on the day.

Here's how to work out how much it costs for you:

If you're an Initial Drift member with a CAMS licence, it's $200

If you're not an Initial Drift club member, but have a CAMS licence and membership with another CAMS club, it's $225

If you're not an Initial Drift member and don't have a CAMS licence or club membership, it's $225 + $46 +$50 (associate membership) = $321

Fees for passengers - (drift sessions only)

$20 all day (non Initial Drift members)

Passengers:

Passenger Rides will be permitted in drift sessions subject to conditions outlined by CAMS for drifting events. Drivers will also need to be approved by IDA for taking passengers.

Passengers must provide their own helmet and wear non-flammable long sleeves and pants.

Passengers will NOT be permitted in Grip Sessions.

Regarding scrutineering: We are now having to enforce the new CAMS rules for our class - the biggest thing that people don't have are blue battery triangles. Basically, you need a blue triangle with 150mm sides pointing where the battery is in your car on the bodywork. If you're not sure, we will have some available on the day.

As ususal, your car must pass CAMS scrutineering, so make sure your battery is clamped down, your brakelights work, your seats and seatbelts are secure and safe. Any other questions, please email us.

  • Open the online ENTRY FORM **Please note that you may need to update your adobe reader to complete this form.
  • Read it and fill it out.
  • Click the button at the bottom. This will open an email browser and open an email with your entry information as an attachment. Send this email.
  • Deposit your money into the bank account on the entry form (by direct deposit either on the internet or at your bank), and make sure you put the remitter name as your name, and put ECREEK or something similar as the description.

I know Adam, we've done a deal with Fatz, but at least now you have all the details for the day, like the schedule and whatnot.

Honestly, the grip guys are going to be way outnumbered by drifters, so the track will probably be pretty much empty for those sessions. Half the reason the day was split up was to stop people killing all their tyres by lunchtime. :)

they probably have someone standing at the spec gate and you pay there i think......at least thats how it worked the last time I was there to watch the drift

Cheers looks like this could be quite good to watch

Drift ON!!!! >_<

Who approved the 20 min lunch! I want to know! That’s an additional 20 min of track time gone just because some pansy needs food! :laugh:

Im really looking forward to the day, holly sh!t 45 min sessions, I trust there will be heaps of tow trucks for the dead RB's? I should be fine, 20min the R and 20 min in the T. Excellent!

Fats, timers are $30 a day, the $20 was a into offer only available to intellectually disabled over 100kg small appendage sub 75 IQ SAU members. You are a very lucky man to qualify FATZ!

P.S. don’t forget the 15’s for the drift play in the arvo and I will bring you some spare 235 semi’s.

Catch everyone out there on the day, I will be the horned up guy smiling at all the fat zorst pipes!

Pete,

Must I join ID to drive, even though I have already paid and been accepted for the day ?

I only plan on short drifting, will do more speed runs on the day.

Also, do we have more than the 6 odd people who were on the list before ?

Thanks, I cannot wait.....

nope if you have a cams licence your apples to go in both sessions

To answer most of your questions:

Don't worry about filling out the form above. Fatz will give us your name for free gate entry. You will however, still need to fill out a form on the day.

You don't need to be a member of IDA - you just need a CAMS L2NS or better licence. If you don't have one, we have associate memberships and yearly licence application forms available on the day.

Drivers can be passengers without any extra fee.

Passengers need to pay entry to the track as well as the passenger fee. You might complain now, but by the end of the day, you'll have so much fun you'll forget all about money. :PBJ:

We've done this deal with Fatz because we need lots of people out there so we don't lose money on the event like last time. Call your mates and get them to drive. $200 for that much time on Eastern Creek is a pretty good deal, and it's one we hope to keep up.

PLEASE BRING YOUR CAMS LICENCES!

I have a quick question on gate payment for other non drivers. My wife and 2 yr old are coming out to have lunch with me and I have 1 pit crew tyre change b!tch for the day, will they be hit with an entry fee?

Thanks

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
