Entries Open: Sauvic Deca - 25th July 2015 - Shepparton - Its Back!


Recommended Posts

Yeah that's my concern, that looked sketchy in that recent vid in the dry.... no real run off there... tree's oh god the tree's.

Ah don't be a pussy!

You can go as hard or not as hard as you like, often slower can be a bit faster (especially in the wet). So it's only dangerous if the pilot is being dangerous :)

Given how wet I was one year, after standing in the torrential rain for a good 15mins directing cars, safe to say no matter what the event goes on! Viva la DECA!

(I may or may not bring cheater EVO if weather looks sketchy lol).

Considering the event starts at 7:30 and is nearly 2 hours away, even for northies, you might want to reconsider your departure strategy :thumbsup:

Thanks for confirming event start Birds.

Amend departure time to 5.30am @ Greensborough, this should give ample time to arrive following scrutineering and driver debrief.

If there is not many people interested in driving up, I'll just head off per own schedule.

Cheers

I used to leave eastern suburbs latest 5am back when deca started 8am...

Just in case anything goes wrong or you have to sort out anything with your car and scrutineering/licensing it's always a good idea to get there early rather than on the dot!

think there 10+ spots left so get it in, should be plenty of runs for every-one with the limited entries.

I've got the CAMS license, mate who's done a DECA with us before is coming too, just getting AASA posted in the mail today.

Oh yeah, we're sharing the same car (mx5 - nohomo)

Do we just apply separately?

go though the online form and you will see an option for shared car.

both need to put though an entry but mark that you sharing car so you get put in same group a bit apart so you have time.

I remember that day.

Submitted and paid!

Good stuff Jack! You and Jarrard?

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
