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

Thanks heaps jake/mike.. Can anyone come eg, some one who's never done anything like this before?

Sounds like an awesome day.

Thanks Martin link is very helpful....

To enter you need a sau membership, how do I get one?

Thanks heaps guys

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

SAU membership info:

EDIT: Beaten :P

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

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.

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.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
