The 3 track challenge sounds great!

I'm pretty disappointed at missing out on Sandown on the 12th when trying to book a place nearly 3 weeks out!

Superkarts? Really?

Seems like this could be a problem if SAU members are going to struggle to enter WRX events from now on...

They've got Porsches and superkarts(wtf?) now reserving and competing for places on the day!

Why doesn't SAU get reserved places?

There own members missed out.

It's not going to happen often it's just this time, unsure of the reasoning as Sandown fills normally anyway.

FHR requirement coming in at National then State events. Saw the CAMS email and deleted it but in trying to check the website further it locks. Could this impact state level sprints?

International and National events from the 1st of July, for track, tarmac and off road events, and then from 1st January 2015 this also applies to all state level events, but not club level at this stage.

Looks like it will not impact us even if we join a round of Victoria's sprint series, spotted this in the latest CAMS release.

"From 1 July, 2014 all international and national circuit races, road events and off road events, except where specifically exempted due to the type of vehicle; From 1 January, 2015, all state circuit races, road events and off road events, except where specifically exempted due to the type of vehicle.
This does not include Speed events and Auto tests."

Edit: entries for us open 30th April

Guess the other 80 odd are already gone perhaps?

if there was only ever 49 (60 as of 25th April, before you could enter) available on the WRX website, means the other 71 were reserved for other clubs. Doesnt really seem fair, does it? unless maybe porsche are paying them for reserved spots because they got sick of AROCA?

22 spots remaining. I would suggest that people enter.

We are discussing options with WRX over the weekend, which may include moving the round to another day however to avoid disapointment enter.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
