WRX club need other clubs to make the numbers for entries for their track rounds. AROCA run a pretty slick day, the drivers tend to be more experienced, and they keep the flow moving for maximizing number of sessions in the day.

I have similar views. Seen many stupid incidents at WRX days. Barry Crocker is a cock bag haha. He once blocked me for 3 laps at winton when I was clearly on his ass doing 1.5-2s quicker lap times consistently. So wanted to ram him! Ant and I complained to clerk of course and they're just like 'well that's just Barry, he's like that sometimes...'

Seems like they like to play favourites.

Oh and there is the guy that does the clerk or course, older guy, just pisses me off lol.

/rant.

What about some other groups like tampered days for Winton? They're very cruisy, reasonably priced.

Personally I am avoiding Tampered days, they stick to many cars on the track, no drivers briefing and driver actions show this.

I like the idea of AROCA esp at Sandown, maybe PIRAC at PI with less noise issues.

MS committee sit down at the end of the year to work out the season and I'm sure this will be taken into consideration.

lol @ cockbag comment :laugh:

I agree about tampered days or any type of 'fun day'. Too many wankers in shit boxes who don't care if they slam in to you.

Well at the end of the day, it shouldn't matter about which club runs the event - we shouldn't limit our championship rounds to just one club. If we have a view of the forward schedule of club days for the year, perhaps we can mix it up. At the same time, it's a shame SAU Vic is not strong enough to run our own.

The commitments in time to run our own and the training requirement for CAMS are quite high.

AROCA ran a very successful Broadford track day over the weekend (just on youtube). I would be more inclined for SAU VIC to continue to be involved in entry level events like DECA and expland into Broadford or Haunted Hills, more so broadford as I personally dislike HH.

Next years track calendar will be of great debate I'm sure.

Broadford, stuck behind a clio :domokun: really need a good drivers briefing.

As for comments regarding future, shame there seems to be strife within WRX as it precludes people standing up to assist. Thing with volunteer organisers, they don't get paid enough - it's a hard job. What would the clubs think of us doing a pic and mix year, maybe we should get a discount for loyalty. And aren't AROCA days already quite full? Think the MS committee might need a slab to get through this topic.

I've heard a few people got stuck behind said clio... had no idea and hogged the track.

Yes they are, that would be my main concern. Also Mas days, haven't been to one since Jim isn't conducting them anymore. Not sure how they operate now. But they are also very full days to start with.

Discussion is needed for sure.

MAS recently have been Club members only for some tracks.

so no go with them.

They have always done that. The PI at the start of the year and specialty events like broadford etc.

But they generally run a couple of open Sandown and Wintons' a year. Their PI events are generally members only days. I think this is because they allow passengers for the first two sessions.

hello all,

getting ready for a first trackday with SAU and after reading this post i have a couple of questions.

emts,

under vehicle requirements, roll cages are listed. Is it compulsory to have a roll cage or if you have one, it must be cams approved.

Also as far as bonnet catches go, if i dont want to use bonnet pins, what other options do i have that wont get knocked back buy the scruteniers.

cheers

cage is not needed unless you are planning on running slicks.

Most of us don't have one. Tho is a great idea once you become more serious.

re Bonnet catches if you have a factory bonnet then you have 2 already, the one under the dash then the secondary one under the bonnet so you are fine.

if you have an aftermarket carbon or similar one then you will need to look at other options such as some wire with carbines attached clipped to bonnet and chassis. If you do need to do this let me know and will get you some mroe info and some examples the guys here have used.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
