Minibats Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just thought someone posted on here a while back about Dirt circuit racing so i was wondering if anyone had heard about it or knew of who it was that made the tread? I had a guy and his son come in to work and said they were buiding a car so I looked into it a lil and it looks like some fun. If anyone knows anything or someone I could chat with about it, please let me know. -Nath Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/350992-dirt-track-circuit-racing/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Kaira RL Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 From what ive heard is that the NA r33 gts4 with the AWD gets the power down a lot easier on the dirt. Where the big powered cars just will spin. Ive been offered a drive to check this sport out. Sounds like fun. I just have to make time for a look.

GROWLY CUSTOM CNC Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Here's a couple of videos from last season at Truro & district raceway. The in car footage is from an xf falcon. It's going to be a big 2011 season with 8 race meetings in total, starting in April and finishing in November, this includes a grand opening in May. There are alot of new cars being built ready for this season, including a couple of gtr's (converted to RWD).

Ke55pig Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 this is just down the road from me Great to watch.Thinking of building a car but drift and dirt may cost a little to much a year Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/350992-dirt-track-circuit-racing/#findComment-5637285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madaz Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 i reckon dirt would be cheaper than drift Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/350992-dirt-track-circuit-racing/#findComment-5637490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mid life crisis Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 dirt circuit family membership is about 30 bucks a yr and anyone in the family can use the car . so on the day the same car could be used in juniors race and if ya mrs wants a race she can use it in the ladies race and you can drive it in whatever class you built it for . ive seen the same cars run almost non stop all day lol .cost 10 bucks on the day too race ...all ya need is a crash helmet a pair of king gee overalls and leather boots as a minimun to go racing . no cams lincense or huge entry fee's good family fun cheapest motor sport around . i myself have a full space frame car with a quickchange sprintcar diff and coilovers all round with a ve commy body and 308 and owes my less than the average rb motor rebuild cost lol . just make sure the roll cage in that 808 meets our specs or you could run into strife cheers dean Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/350992-dirt-track-circuit-racing/#findComment-5637569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GROWLY CUSTOM CNC Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) Minibats, I'll pm you a link to the pdf version of the rule book / build specs. You will need a hard copy to race ($10) but we are waiting for another batch of books. Just for interest sake here is an approx break down of the costs for my build (street stock). I have a lot of bits and pieces from previous cars so it will actually cost approx $750- $800 with the extra parts. But starting from scratch this is what you would be up for. XF falcon (carby version) $150 Rollcage steel $350 protective body bar work $150 second hand race seat $50 new g force 5 point harness $100 fire extinguisher $25 second hand jerry can fuel tank $20 gearbox, clutch for manual conversion (second hand) $50 front window mesh $20 side window net (second hand ) $25 Cheap gauge set $30 sheet metal for covering holes (lights, fire wall etc) $50 mud flaps $20 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $1040 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extra parts if budget permits (second hand) 350cfm holley $100 extractors $50 cam shaft $50 valve springs (new) $100 * also need a second set of spare tyres. I think Dean would agree with me, the secret to building a cheap dirtcircuit car is not rushing out and buying all the parts at once, but take you time sourcing cheap parts and you could save your self 50% of the build cost. Also getting together with a mate and sharing the car is a great way to save on build, maintainance & traveling costs. The racing is set up so there is 8 races per class during a meeting but all drivers can only compete in 4, so sharing a car does not mean you will miss out on any races.

D_Stirls Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 LOL If not rushing it is the key then our open wheeler should cost us nothing as we have been building it for 5 years now, LOL http://www.ttuned.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=271273 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/350992-dirt-track-circuit-racing/#findComment-5637978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
