SS8_Gohan Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 RTR - 'Road Track Rally' have delivered...... baller style. Yes, you're seeing correct. A 9000 sqm (i believe) skid pan VERY soon to be available in western Melbourne. Prob 30-45min'ish for those of us on the civilised side of Melbourne Slightly smaller than DECA overall, but i think maybe a little longer... not 100% sure Not April fools, this is full legit, ready to rock early 2013!!! Bring it! oooooooooooooohhhhh yeeeaahhhhhhh.........

R31Nismoid Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Like DECA? I see no back track As said in the other thread (might have been wasteland), hopefully it doesn't go the way of Drag Tag's skidpan that ended up having the Law sitting out front of it all the time. Although it wasn't built as a skidpan given the main business is Forklifts... So council likely don't know it's going to be used for "that"...

R31Nismoid Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Oh and it'll be more than 35mins for you Dan - it's 20-25mins from the CBD to the west Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/414725-like-deca-wish-it-were-closer-wish-no-longer-new-skid-pan-in-melbourne/#findComment-6649566 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS8_Gohan Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 oh yeah, no back track, but 'like DECA' i meant is in the 'affection' variety, not necessarily by it's exact make-up. But still, great to have an autocross venue close by - google tells me 45mins public events? as long as there is an event you can join, then that's all we need. SAU DECA aren't exactly 'public' events, still need a CAMS/ASAA (or aasa whatever) license. I'm guessing it will be along those lines i'm sure this is a multi-purpose venue, but will cater for motorsport events. If anything, this will be a good compliment for DECA, you can do these events close-by but if you want a day mixed with some tight track action, you can go for a DECA. hahaha, yes Grant, no armco Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/414725-like-deca-wish-it-were-closer-wish-no-longer-new-skid-pan-in-melbourne/#findComment-6649579 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS8_Gohan Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 this isn't a workshop war thread, not that there is one going on, this is just to let you know we all will have a DECA (skid pan) sized facility available to us for autocross events. That's it, we should be all grateful for having motorsport facilities closer to us... isn't that what we've always called for? Yes it isn't another metro track like Sandown, but good luck that happening. And no there isn't a back-track like DECA, but it's still potentially a great facility to have some safe fun, that's pretty easy on the car. 10-20mins whatever, all i know is that more close motorsport venues the better, no?
