Hi,

Are there any Western Australia race events that a commoner such as myself can participate in? Where abouts can I go to have a run on a curcuit or such? What do I need to participate or race on the tracks?

I hear that over east you have CAMS licences? Anything like that here?

I'd really like to hear from some other WA members that have been or are going, meet some people would be good.

Slim

There are other things over in W.A. as well.

There is the sprint and autotest championships at AHG near the airport. http://www.dtec.com.au/mc-motorsport/car-clubs.htm

Other than Wanaroo there is also the other track down at Collie. http://www.motoringsouthwest.org.au/ I'll be down there for the sprint day on July 1st with a bunch of other blokes into motorsport.

You also have a stack of great hill climbs. Jacks Hill Climb, Mt Ommanny both of which make up part of the Speed Event Series that runs every year. http://www.speedeventseries.com/

And finally - here is a good resource list of what is coming up. http://www.driveline.net.au/events.php :thumbsup:

Given you are in Esperence the closest/easiest events will probably be in Albany.

On the long weekend just gone (Foundation day) there was the Mt Clarence Hiil Climb & the Albany wind farm hillclimb. Additionally there was a motorkharna.

Check the www.speedeventseries.com website & calender for WA's statewide based hillclimb & supersprint championship which is predominantly organised by the WASCC.

Collie motorplex is a long haul from Esperence & to be honest not much closer than Wanneroo.

Grab yourself a level 2 Cams licence with a car club membership (You need both) & you can then enter a heap of things...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
