Entries Open: Import Monster Sauvic Deca Motorkhana - September 8 2012


Recommended Posts

I'm abit confused about the "Cars must be considered 'Roadworthy'" section.

My car has no leaks/drips, has all panels, seatbelts and fully working lights and the essentials but it's not legal in the performance parts aspect (Too low, too loud, wheels etc...)

May seem like a dumb question but roadworthy condition is a lot different to trackworthy condition..

ok so

no belts showing on tyres

no lose panels

nothing loose in engine bay, inside cabin in boot

seat belts/harnesses correctly mounted

fire ext mounted correctly and under 5 years validity

helmet has asa or equiv rating

all good

loud pipes not care

wheels not buckled all good

looking to have some fun......perfect

Guys as mentioned we are not staying at the motel this time round.

Bec has reserved 15 or so cabins at the caravan park but you need to book yourself ASAP :yes:

If people dont start booking there accomodation the park wont hold the cabins.

Use the above link to get details on the accomodation.

cheers..

Make sure all your wheel nuts are there unlike some other chaser drivers! :ninja:

My AASA expires day before the event...any renew forms need to be filled out or just bring down 50 bucks on the day to renew?

You've got plenty of time to update this with AASA prior to the event and you'll make my life 10 times easier if you do!!!!

I'll even give you the link to the form you have to fill out and send back to AASA with payment :)

Guess I'll be the one making your life 10 times harder as I'll be registering my AASA on the day. :rolleyes:

oh forms sent and paid!

Can't wait!

Hi. im thingking of entering. it will be my first time to do a motorkhana.

Can you explain what it is exactly. How many courses are there? what are the courses ?

thanks frank

hey frank,

http://sau.ferni.net...eb2012Sched.pdf

thats the event we did in feb

basically there is skidpan/motorkharna event and also some sprints out the back, point A to point B.

skidpan consists of 2 layouts where you have to go around cones a certain way, you get 2 goes at each layout

sprints also consist of 2 layouts, basically you just have to start from point A and get to point B as quick as you can

end of the day we do battles on the skidpan, the skidpan is split in 2 and 2 cars race around a pre determined layout

its a really fun day, everyone is super friendly

thanks.

how exactly should the extingwisher be correctly mounted? i asume somewear within arms reach of the driver. my extingwisher has a plastic bracket not metal like in the regulations. is there a way around bolting it to the car/body? how do you guys do yours?

thanks.

disregard* just worked out how to do it from the sandown track day forum.

are there any wet skid pan day events held by the club at deca?

nope

I have watched a forester gracefully aquaplane off the deca skid pan when wet...

trust em you don;t want to do a wet day there..

how fast must of he been going? dry days are boring i seen evos/rexis just understeer all day , wet awd skating ftw lol

not that fast, that skid pan is horrid when wet.

Just sent off my forms and paid.

AASA renewal in progress, since mine expires 2 days before the event! Jason, you and I must have gotten ours at the same time just before the August 2011 DECA.

Yeah the Wet DECA was balls... All over the place and it was more luck than anything else when I was out there :P

There's a section in here of the wet skid pan, I had good tyres and wasn't pushing hard at all, still spun out heaps... No fun.

Dry on the other hand... is a lot more fun :D

The main thing is, when it's dry there is consistent grip. When it's wet, the grip changes with every meter of the track.

See you guys up there :)

Do you mean sign up to the event or sign up as member? If you wish to enter you need to send in an entry form. You do not need to be a member to enter deca.

The more the merrier people, bring friends along. For those who know Deca, we will be ruining the mega mini Wang again. Not sure how many times we are going to be able to run it as the surface is getting tired...

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
