With DECA in Shepparton coming up on the 5th of May i was wondering on who was heading up

And if you have always thought about it and never made it this is a great entry level motorsport event.

It also a great way to meet up with others may you only know off the forums.

You dont need to be a SAUvic member or own a 300 kw car.

So if you want to have a bit of fun in you car DO IT.

Half keen, just wanna know prices to participate and how big the track is etc? Do i need a CAMS license?

Chris

Most of the information you need is in the above IMPORT MONSTER DECA link

But to give you a bit of info

Cost of entry 85 bucks

You will need one of 2 licences.

AASA licence will cost you 50 bucks and you dont need to be a car club member

CAMS licence will set ya back 95 but you will need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated car club.

The DECA complex in Sheppardon is a is a driver training complex so it not a race track like Sandown and such.

It has a very large skidpan and roads inside the complex. We do motorkhana style events on the skidpad and speed runs on the

roads and its all timed like Tarmac Rally. Its heaps of run.

And since its in Shep and its a long drive to and from a lot of people make the call to stay on the Fri/Sat night to

kick back and have a beer or 4 or 5 and talk about the day and cars and such. We also have some of the SAUnsw come down.

So in general its just a great weekend.

Hope this helped and hope to see you up there.

Wayne.

Easily the most enjoyable car weekend away.

A couple of us come to the ones that don't clash with NSW events any chance we get.

The guys and girls who run it are fkn legends, don't be afraid to ask anything if you're not sure or if it's your first time.

It's great also in that the stress on the car is minimal (one lap at a time) so that's nothing to worry about, the speeds you do are not silly, you don't need big power to be quick at this-so many times we see the guys with commonly considered "slow" NA cars do heaps better than built GTR's.

It's only $85. Give it a go. Anyone who's been before will agree its great fun and you'll also regret not going to previous ones because they're just addictive.

Keep up the great work organizers and volunteers.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
