Have just sent off payment for membership renewal so I can try and be at this event.

Bec, get up WRX club to update with entries so I know how much time I have to pay for this ;)

Would really love to make this one

so if you're a newb to circuit racing like me (only done 3 deca events so far but have no circuit experience) should I put myself in the driver training group? i am just worried that I will get swamped by all the faster cars and I don't want to get in anyone's way on the track... but i still want to do the whole event... any recommendations?

I did DT at sandown, its great, as you can take people along with you to learn the lines etc (Thanks Andrew :worship:)

The only thing is that you get SHIT ALL time compared to everyone else and that really really sucks and is unfair!

So dont listen to anyone who tells you that you still get heaps of time on the track...

Hmmmmm......If that was the last WRX club day, you should have had exactly the same amount as time as everyone else.

The only part of the day that Driver Training guys miss out on is the super sprints (which is a very valid exclusion).

As far as practice and sessions go though, you should have had exactly the same number of sessions as all the other groups.

And technically..... you get more seat time, coz it takes you guys longer to get around each lap :worship:

If you feel disadvantaged like that, you should have approached the Clerk of Course on the day and explained how you felt, he could have either cleared it up for you, or fixed the problem. If you want to, you could still shoot the Motorsport Director of the WRX Club an email explaining your concerns etc.

dont not do DT because you get less track time, which is marginally less anyway... we have seen a number of people write their cars off by jumping in the deep end when the probably shouldnt have...

also, if you and your instructor are confident that you can go solo then you just let the clerk of course know and you will be able to drive on your own so its really the way to go.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
