Forget about just coming down for a look. As soon as you see the skidpan you'll wish you had entered. This is grass roots motorsport. You can go as slow or as fast as you like and it's all for fun. Just put in an entry form.

Passengers are allowed all day, but must sign a passenger disclaimer form, and also must wear a helmet.

I couldn't have said it better myself

This is, and always will be, a fun day. Everyone wishes they could get out there when they come up.

Even I do every time I'm there cooking the BBQ for 3hrs each time.

Next DECA i'll have a car thats not a danger to anyone, so im gonna be out there having the time of my life :)

Yes, there will be more.

Dates when known... are posted/adjusted in the Events Calendar for ALL events (sticky in this section), so check it regularly :)

No worries, I'll know for sure later next week. And confirming, I can bring a completed CAMS application form with payment on the day and compete?

It's prferable that you send in an entry form before Tue 24th, as we will be compiling running orderes on Wed 25th, and then after this we wont be checking the fax machine.

Yep CAMS can be done on the day, if you havn't held a CAMS licence within the last year.

Just emailed my forms and payment receipt, please let me know if you haven't received them.

May have also accidentally sent it twice :banana:

Thats not a bad way to get more driving time :blink:

The dates for the rest of the year are already posted on our 09 Events Calendar - Click Here

Hey, just paid and emailed my forms and receipt through. My mate dave talbot also paid and will be sending his forms through tonight. Getting excited now lol.

Thanks, Vince

okay i'm in for this one. i'll fill out my entry form on the weekend and send it through with payment.

is it alright if i post up a link to this on aus300zx to see if anyone is interested from over there, or are SAU members still getting preference?

In saying that.

If any of you guys/gals want to come to DECA and help out that would be fantastic.

We will need people to be Officials on the day .

being an official is a pretty sweet deal. Last time I got a front row seat on the skidpan, free water, cool fluoro vest and a stop watch and i got to watch everyone run. oh and free food too. and i don't get sunburnt so it wasn't bad at all :D if you can't enter the event, it's still a good way to learn because you get to watch everyone and see what works.

Yeah thanks heaps for you help last event Sandeep. We couldn't have run the day without you!

If anyone else is coming up and can lend a hand let us know here:

After all, the day is run entirely by volunteer help, so if your coming up and can bring a mate to help out we'll feed them, water them, and try to give them a front row seat too.

We need starters, timers, and help on the back track to notify timers of when someone hits a hat.

Let the battle of the mighty starlet vs the Z begin again hey :D

how far away/long does it take for you guys steve?

Yeah its about 7 hours, longer if stops are needed for food/drinks etc :P

The important thing to get right is to not leave when Sydney has peak hour, thats just death

Not long enough IMO - Steve smells funny

:D

Oi you!

    • 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
