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

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
