I sent an email and got this in reply,

The CAMS Come and Try Day 2013 will consist of the following events:

- 1 hour of Supersprint which includes cars being sent out at different intervals, you will be competing against the clock and not anyone else. There will be a coach with you inside the car to teach you how to use the whole race track also. You may be able to get around 5-10 laps on the new South Circuit at Sydney Motor Sport Park

- 1hour on Motorkhana which includes a circuit being developed by Thornleigh Car Club who will be running that section and it’s a way to test your control over a car on wet and dry surfaces through some tough turns around cones and returning to the starting position, this is also a time trial based event. So you may also be able to get a few turns on this.

Keen to try the South Circuit but doesn't sound like there will be much track time

Pffft, for $30 it's way beyond a bargain! Do it, the things you learn when you take up an opportunity like this will FAR outweigh the cost.

If you really expect more track time when you're paying such a low entry fee, then you have no idea on what it takes to run an event like this. We, as a club, would love to run an official SAU-NSW event there, but we can't afford it.

:D

Exactly Nick, that's why I'm booked in for it. $30 to get on the track, with a coach is winning.

It's a come and try day, not a full on track day because they are trying to encourage people to Motorsport, not running it for those already involved.

Yeah that's true but more track time, more to learn :D

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
