Mra And Aasa Licence Change

[evil_weevil]

So,

got an email from the MRA guys.

They are dropping the $60.00 level 2 licence and bringing in a national licence with AASA which is 100 a year. (down from over 200 I think?)

It also means we can race in any AASA event in different states!

Yep your right weevils the national licence had dropped from $200 down to $100 now!!!

Oh noes weevil can go postal look out interstate race tracks!!

the uncommon license is half the price, but people have to pay double the price for the entry level license? I'm having trouble seeing what the improvement is?

[Sinful]

You pay $40 more and can use that licence in other states..Why isnt that an improvement?

[evil_weevil]

Yeah thats it, you could only use the level 2 for wakefield, and not in other meet around country.

So now lakeside, winton and.....something else?

which isnt too bad I guess! but I dont see myself going that far haha

understood. and 99% of people I know use those licenses only in NSW for motorkhanas and wakie track days. Now they will have to pay twice as much for the same result.

and further, the cams L2S is now a cheaper way to meet both those requirements.

Druncan, the level 2 licence I have of AASA allows me to compete door to door in races with MRA/Irace etc at wakie (and used to be OP)

the next level up was a national comp one at over 200 bucks.

now they have scrapped the 60, brought the national down to 100

I think thats pretty good considering someone like me doesnt race in any CAMS events (MX5 racing done through AASA 97% of time!) and the PC licence is around 300 - 400 a year?

AFAIK they still have the club level one for $50 which is smilar to L2S for wakie and kana's

yeah agreed if the entry level licence is now $100 that's a bit tough since like you said 99% of people only compete in motorsport in their own state. for people who actually will compete insterstate paying $200 is not a big deal for a licence. I mean even if they only did one meet at say Phillip Island that extra $100 is not even the first tank of fuel on the way out there...

but dunc, like weevil said they do still have the $50 club licence.

the only scary thing for me is that you can now get a national circuit licence for door to door racing simply by attending 3 super sprints and paying $100. at least under the cams C3 and then PC/NC licence scheme you had to do an observed licence test and that usually meant some form of advanced driver training course and that was just to get to the provisional (PC) licence you then had to demonstrate competence to get onto your NC licence. it means people with some pretty questionable driving practices and skills can get straight into national door to door competition. having said that though there were plenty under cams too but I guess at least working a bit harder for the licence formed some kind of quality filter.

all cams licences have been nationwide though even back when an L2S was about $60.

I do think for door to door comp licences there needs to be some kind of assessment done to ensure people out there know how to behave and how to drive without endangering other people. easy to ask for but hard to implement I guess.

MRA is entry level door to door racing. You will never really 100% know how to race until you actually do it. You will always get your cowboys and drivers that have left there brains in the esky!

I have only ever seen people coming up the ranks from supersprints that finally think there ready to try door to door or even guys that have been behind thd scenes as pit crew or officials move straight to racing..

That's what the Clerk of Course is for to chat to the drivers that are behaving in an endangering manner.. But really I don't see it alot extremely bad drivers in door to door racing in my experience more see that with first timers at a supersprint! Plus they don't learn to watch there mirrors until your out there giving it ago!!

[sh@un]

so i have to renew an L2S license

what's cheaper currently; CAMS or AASA?

[evil_weevil]

If you just want to do days at wakefield only Shaun AASA would be better.

but if you want to do supersprints and stuff at EC the L2S would be best

yeah you are right. no matter what the licensing scheme there will always be dickhead drivers getting through. anyway I think what aasa is doing is great. it is good to have an alternative for people. and they certainly are making door to door racing more accessible for more people in a variety of different cars.
