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

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

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.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By LaurelPWR · Posted

      For anyone interested, this is my old graph from 2021, but I've plotted the previous setup curve onto it with a black pen. old setup was: pon cams, oem itbs and plenum, HPI manifold, hks 2835 pro S .87ar rear, Turbosmart actuator, 3" turbo back no res. or cat., greddy spec M fmic, nismo 740cc inj, walbro in tank 460, splitfires, 4" intake pipe, Apexi pod, e85, eboost2, power Fc. I love that the new setup has much larger turbo spec with the HTA3076 1.01ar Ts rear, and literally everything is bigger, but far higher quality and result is it's FAR more responsive in paper.

      This makes a lot of sense! I just had that realisation a few minutes ago and wrote it above haha. This is a good new discovery. "Sanding the side of the hill" perfect way to put it.   😂 😂

      This is probably what's happened to me. I'll put filler again on my repairs and use the long block and let you know how I go. Fingers crossed it's my last batch of filler lol. I can see that happening where my block dipped at certain points because it didn't cover all the high spots at the same time if that makes sense. I'm just trying to visualise the fact that with the large sanding block I will be sanding far away from the central dent area and whether that will cause issues or whether that's going to fether out my repairs better.

      Thanks for all that info. I thought I heard that the size of the block should be the same size as the repair or is that wrong? Though I do have some long blocks which I can use for the dents in the middle of the panel. The issue is with the ones at the edge of the door and near the grooves.
