OK - so most of you will be aware that DECA is coming up on Saturday 15th August and as always, the event wont go ahead unless we get enough people to help out.

So we are calling for your assistance - if your willing to help, or if your bringing a friend who's willing to help - please speak up

All officials will be given lunch and water etc during the day.

We also need all officials to be at DECA by 8.00am on Saturday morning - same time as competitors.

This is very important that we get people along to help for this stuff.... otherwise it affects everyone day...

If you see one of your friends standing around doing nothing, volunteer them for one of these jobs...

It will make the day run HEAPS smoother, which is better for you!!!

We need all the help we can get!!

Also remember, that these jobs all get you up close and personal to the action, and really gets you involved!

(Posistions are subject to change!)

I'll put it too the Mrs.... She might time for half a day if that would help? would want to be able to take her as a passenger still, and would want to be timing the group i am in so she can watch though(no dodgeyness haha)... guessing BYO deck chair? :(

we need the most volunteers in the morning, from 8am to 12:30... after that we only need a few so there will be plenty of time for passenger rides in the afternoon..

the afternoon will also be the better time for spectating

Ill be there again.

Can I plz be put as flaggy on Long Wang in morning and if you need me in the arvo let me know and I can help then too (otherwise Ill just be standing around doing nothing!)

Great work guys.. have added you name to the list...

Keep them comming people!!

"Remember without these nice people that help us out... there wont be an event..."

I know people probably get tired of hearing that saying... but sadly it is true!!

So make sure you round some mates up!

it is simple as it sounds... But definately don't worry about asking nooby questions...

I would rather you ask questions and know what is goin on, rather than hold up the days events becuase you don't.

basically there is a finish gate at the end of each map.

The gate is made up of a series of cones designed so that you have to stop completely within it its walls.

Once you have come to a stop, your time stops.

A volunteer is then required to remove the cone from in front of your car so you can drive forward and move on the to next event.

Watch some of the videos people have posted and you can get an idea of what i mean.

Its nice a simple! And you get to be right up close to the action.

It basically just helps to keep everyone moving so we turnover cars at a faster pace...

  • 2 weeks later...

OK people... have updated the list.. made a few changes and added a few people...

Let me know if you have a problem with where i have put you... they still might change.. but i think it should be pretty good like this...

Also if your not sure about a job just ask me either on here or PM...

Look forward to seeing you all up there bright and early!!

    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
