[ssxRicho]

Calder twilight ftw!

Must make the end of it in one piece... You and me both marty.

[Russman]

Who's going to let me drive their car if mine is off the road?

Hi

The Calder date I am now reasonably sure of (well as sure as anything held there)

I am sort of debating if it should be twilight again or not.

There are advantages in twilight ..cheaper , great experience.

There are disadvantages .. track hire is for 6 hrs not 9.

I am running a vote on our forums ... but what do you lot think.

It was a great spectacle last year. It is something you don't get to do that often. The venue is close to melbourne, friends and family

can come along. That out weighs the session or two you may miss for the event.

You had a few prangs last year, that slowed the event down. I don't see why you couldn't get through the groups quicker without

that issue. Knowing what you do now, parking (lack of), sign-in (30deg, line out the door) should be much better.

Our main problem this year was that a V8Ride day .. overflowed into our time. So we had location problems etc etc etc.

Agreed I think the twilight round is the way to go....lets be honest Calder isn't a stand out layout but the added twilight factor def gives it an edge

[AC1200]

yeah id be keen for a twilight event. i missed out this year as i had to go to a wedding. but hope to be at next years... day or night

[Downforce]

Hopefully my new toy will be finished for the Calder round. Will be good to join you guys out on the track again next year

[Drift SX]

[jfk]

[shepo]

[nitrozx12]

1 vote for twilight, something unique about the calder event. cooler temps seem to be better for my gtr. thanks, first entry

[DJ Davey G]

Finally got my car registered, so I'm looking to do some track work this year. Can someone point me in the direction of where I can find out some more info on the SAU days, such as:

1) How much the events cost?

2) How I put my name down?

3) What the format of the day is (e.g. open pit, sessions etc.)?

4) Are there any non-competitive days?

5) Do I need a CAMS licence on top of my SAU membership? (and which one?)

I've done a fair amount of searching, but can't seem to find the answers to these questions.

Cheers

Dave

Hi Dave...couple of answers to your q's:

1. They vary depending on the circuit (some more $$$ than others) - expect to pay between $100 (haunted hills) to around $250 (phillip island).

2. A few weeks before the event the supp regs and entry forms are released....simply fill in and fax off. There is no pressure to do rounds - you do as many as you are willing to do. As long as you are a current SAUvic member and do at least one round you will be part of the championship.

3. Events are generally done on a session basis - based on experience/past lap time you will be placed in a group. They then cycle through the groups until closing time.

4. All the days are as competative as you want them to be - do not feel under pressure to set the world on fire at your first couple of events - just go out there and have some fun.

5. Yes you will require a CAMS L2S licence. They will cost around the $100 mark for a year. Don't have a link handy but all the info is on the CAMS website.

Cheers

Ant.

Thanks for that - I'll get on to getting my CAMS licence then.

Cheers

2. you can also use the online entry forms, http://www.wrx.com.au/motorsport.html

The CAMS website is a little bit of a maze, so this is what you want.

If you haven't been to the circuit before, just put down that you haven't been there. They will group you accordingly.
