Hey Rob,

Deca (held at Deca Shepparton) is a event SAU do 4 times a year.

Its a whole day event, 50 entrants max

Field is split into 2 groups of 25

Morning consists of Skidpan and Sprints

Skidpan...

2 cone layouts on the skidpan, you have 2 attempts at going the fastest around each layout

Sprints...

2 sprint sections, basic point A to point B, you get 1x 80%/sighting run and 2x timed runs at each sprint

Break for lunch

Afternoon is all on the skidpan

The skidpan is is split in 2 and we have tandem battles, 2 cone layouts

Theres a identical cone layout per side, race a mate to see whos quicker haha

If theres time at the end of the day then we do same battle theme but if you loose then your knockout

hopes this helps out

No Sau vic membership required, everyone can come. You will need a AASA racing licence so download and print the form for that (its on the DECA thread) fill it out and send it in.

I went to the September one as my first time and lets just say, it opened up a whole new chapter for me in regards to cars.

Despite only been once, it's already an addiction for me and really keen for this round of deca.

Try it out and you won't regret it! Also the people are really nice and awesome!

You'll need AASA licence or Cams licence.

AASA licence can be purchased on the day for $50

all the above is correct.

AASA does not require you to have a club member ship and allows you to decas winton and a couple other things in vic.

If you looking to do more track days then you will need a CAMS license this you need to be a member of a car club eg SAU

and lets you out at sandown PI as well as the above ones.

that said nothing is as cool as being a SAU member

Deca is good for first timers wanting to get into racing

It teaches good car control in an environment where you've got plenty of room for error

And its the cheapest event out there

so yeah come along have a crack, everyone is super friendly

I hope to see you all out there in December, I'll be the one who doesn't no what to do...

Hey guys...

i paid n sent my forms through but I have two more questions.....hope you can help......

1. Says I need non flammable clothing? Are trackies ok or jeans?

2. I have a sunroof so do I need a full face helmet with a visor? Or one you get when go karting?

Thanks

There'll be plenty of friendly people to point you in the right direction.

Trackies and jeans are fine, make sure you top is long sleeve as well. Helmet can be open face, no problem.

Hey guys, is there going to be a meetup tomorrow night for everyone to cruise up together??

[Odium]

People generally head up separately on Friday / Friday Night then we meet at the Motel

You might find some people at Wallan BP if you're leaving Melbourne at about 6pm or so...

Maybe ask in the Facebook event if anyone is leaving at about the same time as you.
