Hey all.

A thought occured to me. I regularly see track days organised but is SAU an offical car club to paying members? If so does this mean it would make you eligable to buy a cams licence and attend cams events?

The track day are organised by www.timeattack.com.au. The SAU club is not cams affilated from what I know so if you joined and wanted a cams licence, you will need to join another club as well....

There are very few tracks that are CAMS affiliated anyway and as Paul (MountainRunner) said, we race at QR and they use AASA.

You would have to travel a long way to need a CAMS licence unless the organiser required it for a tarmac rally around here????

funny you say that as we are competing in a cams event at qr over sat and sunday next weekend. This weekend is the sprints and top gear and next weekend is a national cams event at QR.

Dont get CAMS and race tracks confused as to how they are affiliated.

It really depends on who is organising the event. QR will accept most affiliated clubs who use AASA or CAMS. It is just that CAMS is now pricing themselves out of the market and new members are wondering what they are paying so much for.

actually, the ONLY racetrack that doesn't use CAMS is QR, and even then as R33_racer pointed out, that's only for their own sprint series and topgear race metings, and mountainrunner's timeattack track days. EVERY OTHER racetrack, sprint series, hillclimb, autocross, motorkhana, khanacross that I know of uses CAMS.

Not to worry...CAMS will get alot better slowly as all the fogeys start moving on and the newer and younger folk start changing things for the better. Too many old people stuck with their old mind set and old old ways and dont want to change cause if it worked back in the 60's why change it now?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
