Steve, have the no screamer pipe rule been enforced for a while?

cause early 2010 or late 2009 i entered the NSW motorkhana there and they did not say anything about my screamer pipe.

Nor did they require a fire extinguisher as well.

As long as its been managed by the people who manage it (a long time), it's been a rule in the hire agreement (it's not outlining screamer pipes, it outlines overall vehicle noise). I dont think many users read/obey the hire agreement, but I do things the right way instead of getting away with it for a while then coming unstuck down the track :)

Insurance are the ones who require a fire extinguisher. Anyway thats just a smart/safe thing to have in the car

I have asked in the past about noise levels and exactly how loud we can be, its a touchy subject, as I said before if we arent welcome at this venue there is NO others in Sydney that can do these days and the Texi's will simply stop. No one wants that of course! To make things worse, I think there's a residential development happening quite close by which seem to be closer than the current residents. If that gets built and people move in, the fact that the skidpan/runway was there before they moved in wont stop them complaining - look at the people complaining that live near the airport eventhough the airport has been there for a long time...

State round is a CAMS run event yeah? We dont use CAMS for this, they're way too expensive and hard to deal with on key points

yeah its a CAMS event,

but cheers for clearing that up.

i do hope they new residents don't complain otherwise it will just only be wet skid pans and occasional peanut track days @ EC for 4hrs at a time only :(

Did u guys have any issues/noise complaints with the past event @ marulan?

CAMS are great on some things, terrible on others. This sort of event is in the "others" pile.

No dramas!

EC is the only other place in Sydney thats available, here's the problems; Cost is quite large to rent, last I checked you had to use a CAMS permit (expensive!!!) and AASA licences werent accepted. So if I was to take Texi to there, the entry fee would be around the $140 mark per member and you'd get far less driving time due to the small size of the pan. To put simply, Texi's would stop because at EC it would be a crappy event compared to what we are all used to now. IMO being in that situation is to be avoided at all costs :)

I wasn't involved with the MDTC day - so I cant answer that one sorry!

There's something I'm planning for next year down there, its worth the drive from Melbourne for it - so anyone living in Canberra is just lucky (for at least 1 weekend hahaha)

So is it too late to enter? I'm keen but still need to get an extinguisher mounted if I'm allowed to enter. I'd be a first timer too so would need a licence aswell!

and just to clarify are passengers free as long as they have a helmet and appropriate clothing?

Cheers

Oh on the topic of noise and Texi's in Canberra, at the last one down there we had the EPA come due to noise complaints from an old man living up the valley. Annoying much?!

They tested the background noise, I offered them a ride and some food from the BBQ, then they left happy as larry

If you can do the form tonight it will be fine.

Licence paperwork is 10 minutes, no big deal.

Passengers are free but yes must wear the same clothing and helmets as drivers and must also sign the insurance paperwork before getting in the car (same form as drivers)

i remember that, old guy is still there by the way.

Oh great. Got a present for him;

But in all seriousness, once he moves on or just accepts the fact that the world sometimes makes noise, it will be a massive relief to SRDTC and hopefully will take a lot of the pressure off them

Just a quick question about the form.

When it comes to the "I/we ............... of .......????.................... being" part of the "ENTRANTS DISCLAIMER/ DECLARATION" form what goes after the of where the question marks are?

Such a noob question but i cant for the life of me figure out what to put there?

Il be scaning and sending the form in aswell to the email in the form.

There you go

registration's closed ?

if it is i won't get a fire extinguisher tomorrow lol

Any forms sent in before 10 am tomorrow will be fine. Or if you're already spoken to Dave about it then you're fine aswel, but he checks all those with me and so far nothing like that has come up. :)

Thanks dude. Feel like a bit of goose for asking that now lol

We wont judge you....much ;)

haha

Dont stress, if its your first time then dont be afraid to ask! Id rather people come up and ask rather than stand around not knowing what to do. Everyone there on the day is friendly so dont be afraid!

It's also a good idea to read the Texi FAQ's thread, there's a link in the first post.

Haha thanks man,

I just sent the forms to the email supplied and payment has been sent through aswell.

I've got a few friends who want to be passengers on the day, do you need their names before the day or can they just rock up and sign on as passengers? Cheers

Andy

All Passengers just signup on the day.. You will hear the announcement

Oh hai Dave, I can be on lists plz?

Pretty please :) or else Cass says I will cry :-p

Thanks muchly!

no 21 doofus :P

Just a note to anyone thinking of entering, we will be accepting entries up until the day of the event,

The entrant list will be updated tomorrow to show names but at the moment we have 10 spots available.. SO ENTER!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
