What is the criteria that needs to be met, to make an official sau event, be it a trackday or social style event?

obviously it needs to have a good chance of being finaccially viable, and it would need to go though the sau committe.

but what about insurance, what are the requirements there, and anyother requirements apart from help to make a day official?

I'm just curious, so that better suggestions may be given, if understood what is involved.

The club does insurance through AASA and CAMS. This is why ONLY official SAU:NSW events have public liability and thus can be called official SAU events.

Meeting the insurance requirements depends on the event type and how it is run. We know these organisations well and have established our credibility with them over the years.

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes that you folks don't see.

Nope, Josh, even our "Official SAU-NSW Cruises" have insurance. You never know when something unexpected might happen, and the club risks getting sued due to injuries and/or damage sustained by an innocent bystander.

They can be Ruxis. I use to run motorcycle rides but the caveat was, I'm going in this direction and stopping at these locations, you are welcome to follow me as individuals.

On topic, for those who have family/responsibilities and live 6+hours there and back away, nearly everything organised is unfortunatly unavailable. Jim's dinners are awesome but 8 hours traveling to go to work the next day doesn't keep the mrs happy. However keep running 3 track days at wakefield a year and I'm happy. Combined with other clubs is fine. The yearly drag event in sydney sounds like great stuff.

sorry to keep this off topic,

but is anyone responsible if its an unofficial cruise and someone kills someone? will the cruise organiser be in trouble?

Could I have been in trouble whilst running an SAU Event like the R32 GTR 21st? No, whilst stipulating that all road rules and the SAU.NSW Code of conduct were adhered to. CAMs covered us.

On the other hand, the organisers of the R34 GTR 10th (ie Eugene and yours truly) were sticking their necks out if say, one of our 72 cars T-boned another in our convoy - even whilst stipulating that road rules be adhered to.

Neil our then President, brought my attention to that.

Actually the Xmas dinner this year would work better for more people on a Saturday night due to people work schedule

That has been replaced by Putty Rd for 2012 Brett; but I agree that a Sunday night is extremely taxing on us guests that have to come long distances.

I wonder if a Fri night would work better (whilst Sat is out of the question)?

In 2013, Seton and Bowe are agreeable to be Guests of Honour.

I think sau vic is part of an interclub championship which holds rounds during the year, maybe hit up one of them mexicans to find out how they do it?

The local car club up here has a Tri-Challenge with two other clubs each year.

It started as a way to support the two smaller clubs and has grown in numbers each year with a round at the three clubs circuits

Maybe SAU could do something similar with say a Toyota, Subaru and Mitsubishi club to boost numbers and help with costs

Four rounds with each club hosting one event say a Wakefield day then a drag day and a hillclimb and maybe a standing mile or klm at an appropriate location somewhere. Points awarded for overall places as well as classes with points also awarded to each club based on members results with a winner at the end of the year.

Drivers must compete in the same car and (maybe) class all year to be eligible as this would stop those with money spending big between events to score a win

Could also maybe have a combined cruise/meet at the end of the year for prizes etc.

This way the cost is only for running one event and you should get numbers at each event to make a profit for each club

Just a thought anyway

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
