hey,

i'm looking at entering, so need to fill out a Car Classification Form. does anyone know, or know where i can find, the differences between say the modified and super-modified classes? and what's the associate class?

or, if ryan or matt see this, do you know what class my car would go in?

cheers

Yeh if your in the Bluey you will be in associate class.

It looks like the SAU guys are about half the entries so far.

If people are keen to start entering these sorts of events, or just love their motorsport, then its a great idea to come down and look at whats going on. The WRX Club are always grateful for the support our members give with officials. Its a great vantage point by teh track watching the quick guys fly up into/out of corners. Anyone that has flagged can tell you its pretty cool place to watch the action.

Keeping my salesmans hat on for a second, you can actually use these events to get the experience to become a CAMS official which will allow you to official at State and National meets. Fancy being trackside at a V8 round? Im going to do it so i can black flag that shiela Rick Kelly :)

How can Sandown scare you after PI? Sandown is great fun. Big ripple strips to hammer over. A few big stops to wrestle the car under brakes for...its great fun in any car. (Unlike PI :) )

The walls that are close to the track.... At least at PI the walls a further away even if your going that fast that the run off isn't enough, it still makes you feel a bit better :)

I'm out. can't take another beating from a truck driver.

hahahah took me a few seconds to figure that one out - whats the real reason? Single spinner?

Winton may be the spiritual home for Team Wang, but Sandown is the home of BTR :)

Whats BTR?

That's some funny shit!!!!

Now who else can I chase around the track??? Maybe Voss in the purple MPC car...

I don't think I'll be doing any PB's, my best time was getting towed around by another faster guy. :)

I'm faxed and ready to GO!!!!!

Aaron, you still coming for a look???

Oops. Just fried my data logger :D

Installing some new firmware for it and the laptop died. Now when i plug it in the laptop doesnt recognise that a device has been connected. When i un plug the laptop and start the car the onoly thing the logger does is flah through the gear indication LEDS :)

Shit...time to ship it back to Italy for it to be re-flashed :) Shit.

At this point in time there will be Driver Training run in conjunction with the usual sprints, so post up if you are interested in doing Driver Training on the day.

I'm interested in doing the driver training seeing as I have never raced at Sandown before, how many driver training sessions are run during the day on average?

Do any of the SAU guys instruct or is it WRX club people only?

Also with regards to the db limit, do GT-R's with your usual large exhaust systems frequently go over this limit?

Thanks, sorry for the questions but I'm a bit of a circuit newbie...

If you do Driver Training then you normally get 3-4 sessions. (much like everyone else) The instructors can be both SAU or WRX. Normally we try to use SAU instructors for the SAU guys. Normally the like of Aaron34, Scotsman, Belsil80, Snowman and myself can do the SAU guys. I dont think Jag33 normally does it but like a few others have the experience and maturity to walk you around the track.

If you are happy enough, and the Instructor is happy, the Clerk of Course may allow you to run in a sprint but thats a case by case basis.

Not many cars have had trouble with noise at Sandown. Though there was an alarming number of cars having troubles with PI. So if your car is very loud then it may pay to try and address it before the day. I was hoping to but im running out of time....so if you are loud just be prepard to be warned and maybe short shift the rest of the day.

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
