EVENT THREAD

We are trying to attract new members to our awesome event. It is the best entry level event which im sure many people will attest to below. One of the biggest things we have found with new entrants is that they are unsure of what to expect and therfore do not enter so we will try to dispel some of the myths:

FAQ's:

Q: Is this event good for someone with no experience?

A: This is the BEST first event. You will learn SO much about car control! If you are thinking about entering track days it is highly recomended that you enter a DECA to get the basics of car control.

Q: What do i need to do to my car to enter?

A: Basically you need to bolt in a fire extinguisher and have the car in a track worthy condition. More details can be found on the entry form.

Q: Does it matter what kind of car i drive?

A: Previously, the field has consisted of everything under the sun from stock family cars through to high end euro race cars. You DO NOT need 'power' to have fun or be competitive.

Q: What licence do i need?

A: The most basic licence requirement is a AASA 'club racing licence'. This costs $50 per year.

Q: Is it hard on my car?

A: Hardly. Most runs go for less than a minute. Surprisingly there is little wear on tyres. However, you are able to give your car a harder time if you choose ;).

Q: Is it competitive?

A: The event is all about fun. Events are timed and there is some fun rivalries however a lot of people just enter for the social side and the fun of driving.

Q: What if i dont know anyone?

A: Everyone was once in this position. We are all friendly, like minded people so it will take no time to make some great friends and contacts.

Q: Can you take passengers?

A: Simple answer is yes. There are some requirements and a disclaimer.

Q: Is it expensive?

A: No. This is the cheapest value for money motorsport event you can enter. It is low impact on your car, does not use much fuel and entry is cheap. SAUVic do not run this event to make a profit.

Q: What else goes on?

A: Most people come up to Shepparton on the Friday night. Saturday night it is somewhat of a tradition to go out for dinner then head out drinking. Its not a requirement and plenty of people simply make it a day trip but its a great social weekend if you do choose to stay.

Thats a bargain!

Everyone thats 'thinking' of doing DECA ends like this - "that looks like fun, i should have just entered"

Myself included ... I had nothing to worry about as all the people at DECA are really nice and I learnt a heap on car control and got me hooked on track days (and coming back to deca)

DECA is only half the fun....! The other half of the fun is to be had socialising back at the caravan park! Talk cars, get tips, have a drink, make new freinds and have another drink!!

LOL Age - how awesome is marriage??? :)

Imagine all the cool stuff you are going to miss in years to come due to that "anniversary" thing!!!

Marriage is great.... first the Engagement Ring, then the Wedding Ring and now i get the Suffer Ring :whistling:

There better not be another DECA on/around the 10th of September!!! :/:P

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
