"Are you ready for two full days of events, great food, excellent location, a spot of wine and catching up with all our members – miss the extravaganza at your peril !!

The fun starts Saturday 26th July at the Twin Service stations at Paruna (just north of Ourimbah) at 10am with the Touring Road Event. During the day this will include a Hillclimb at Ringwood and the day’s competitive activities conclude at approx. 3pm after the sprint event at Cessnock Aerodrome."

This sounds like a great event. I believe Dan mentioned it at the meeting on sunday. All the information I have for the moment can be found on page 7 of the CAMS Tale Spin newsletter here.

I intend to do the Saturday events and then cruise back, missing the dinner.

I'll post more when it becomes available.

Who's keen?

ps. We'll all need Level 2S licenses or higher for these events. :rolleyes:

Sounds good to me too. (and Kel, as always :P )

Dino, have you or Dan been in contact to get more info as it comes out?

Just a warning, we will probably require extinguisher in car and a bonnet tie down. Will need to see supplementary regulations to be sure.

They are just sorting out some details. It should only be a couple of days and the regs. and entry forms will be out.

Go here for the Safety Requirements. These are a bit tighter than the drive day standards and scrutineering is more in depth. :)

OK - this is cams requirements:

Compulsory vehicle and safety requirements include:

+ A secondary bonnet restraining device rope or strap is OK

+ A fire extinguisher I got one for about $50 from Race and Rally, mounted in bolt that holds back seat on - no holes required

+ A blue triangle indicating the position of the battery Either buy a sticker or just use blue electrical tape

+ Headlights covered with a transparent adhesive film (i.e. Contact) mmmm....i didn't do this one, if required the old cross of electrical tape over lights can do the trick

These can be applied to road going vehicles with a minimum of difficulty, and usually with no permanent modifications.

Competitors are required to wear:

+ Non-flammable clothing from neck to wrist to ankles

+ Helmet

+ And are recommended to wear motor sport specific gloves and shoes.

Basically the same as regular track day requirement for clothing

As Cams say, you can get the bonnet tie down and extinguisher in without having to modify the car, so its not as difficult as it may seem.

For the taping of headlights, I'll be using clear contact sheet cut to the shape of the headlights. For this event with a drive between the hillclimb and the sprint it'll save pulling the tape off and doing it again. :D

Bonkers,

The licence that Dino is talking about is a racing licence that Cams issue. cost is approx $90 I think. It is required for events that are run under/by Cams that have competition invloved.

Hiya FLIP, it's just a matter of filling out the form (goto www.cams.com.au and click on Licenses) and sending of the money to Melbourne. However, there's probably not enough time between now and the weekend.

Come out to Eastern Creek on thursday instead (no cams license reqd). :D

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
