Track Day Weekend - Phillip Island

[Scotsman]

I'll be there pending oil cooler install, pads and non shite brake fluid. Normally this would all be easy in 4 weeks if someone increased my credit limit!

[ferni]

what cams club are you a member of chris? NDSOC?

[Scotsman]

Yep, same as Snowman and I think Geoff. (and others) It's so easy to do, just get it done and get out there.

Membership form found here:

After that comes back get cams here:

Suggest not posting cheque and form to NDSOC and waiting until they come back, cause that took 5 weeks for mine to happen. I'm sure if you make a few calls you can get it done quicker. Assuming your intending of doing PI event. CAMS application can be faxed to them and done on the same day if you ask nicely and have a credit card.

[Snowman]

Ok guys - just some idea's for the best way to get CAMS for those that don't have it but are thinking of coming down. A couple of things to consider is that it will be late August and most membership expire on Dec 31st.

A lot of us a members of the NDSOC. The one thing NDSOC will get you is access to the MSCA sprint days. There are 4 of them left this year - the hill climb at Morwell as mentioned by Geoff, Phillip Island in September, and one in Nov and Dec - venues not confirmed but I have heard that they will be Calder and Sandown. Cost to join them is $65.

You can also join the Phillip Island racing club (PIARC) for $50 but this will only get you onto normal club track days (like maserati, ford, wrx, etc - but not the MSCA).

Also hopefully SAUVIC will be able to issue licences before then and we'll have the same rights and costs as a PIARC membership.

As for the CAMS L2S licence - if you aren't doing Morwell the easiest option is to get the licence on the day at Phillip Island. Just one less thing to have to wait for in the mail! If you are going to join PIARC you can do that on the day as well.

Side issue:

Bepo - spoke to Nige on Saturday as well and he said he's looking at joining us for this weekend as well in his Supra. It will be his first track day in it as well so you could both have some comparisions to talk about.

Snowman: SAUVIC will be able to issue licenses for what and when sorry?

[Snowman]

Sorry mate - what I mean by that is that we will have our CAMS affiliation approved. As I previously mentioned we have our review date at CAMS on July 28th. But I have no idea what happens from there. Starting a CAMS based club isn't something I've done before! LOL

So I'm not sure how long or what else is involved in us getting our approval - but once we are a recognised CAMS affiliated club we can take members and those members can then use the issued club membership number to get a licence.

I hope it will be done well before August 21st but I can't be 100% sure at this stage.

[ferni]

Snowman: thats what i'm waiting for

Let me know what happens with that, i'd like to just join SAUVIC and get my cams then...

[Roy]

spoke to Nige on Saturday as well and he said he's looking at joining us for this weekend as well in his Supra. It will be his first track day in it as well so you could both have some comparisions to talk about

Well thats that then, im leaving my car at home and nominating myself to ride shotgun in the Supra all day....

On a serious note, im ahppy to look into accom since Snowman looked after the arrangements last time...share the burden

[Snowman]

Hey Roy - I'm more than happy right now to let someone else take the burden of looking after accomidation this time. I have enough things on my plate right at the moment with SAUVIC to be more than happy to handball this task.

[Roy]

Cool, ill start looking around...ppl can either pm me or email me at [email protected] if they will be needing accomodation

[HeathGTST]

Can a C4 cams license be used for that day? If it can i might make an apperance!

[GTRgeoff]

Heath thats the observed test one, yeah? Should be fine as it's higher level than the L2S most of us get by with.

[HeathGTST]

yeah its a national cicuit road racing license. Its the license i use to race my formula 3

[GTRgeoff]

yeah its a national cicuit road racing license. Its the license i use to race my formula 3

In that case there is no way you can race with us

What club are you with and can they race in PIARC events?

Time to start thinking about registering guys.

[Snowman]

Yeah I'm just trying to work out how/when we can register. I don't think its open yet.

[Scotsman]

Roy - I'll definatly be going.

Check out this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...6231#post966231 Doing an oil cooler group buy. Might interest a few of you before hitting the track.

[ferni]

Whats happening with SAUVIC and Cams affiliation, i'm kinda depending on that, if it happens and i can join it and CAMs before this day them i'm there

[Snowman]

Ferni - our CAMS application has been approved

More information in the next couple of days - but we'll be right to sign you up beforehand.

[Bepo]

Is SAU membership just membership to these boards or is there a paid membership too?

B

[GTRgeoff]

Bepo there is a SAU Vic club that is CAMS affiliated. You pay to be a member of that and the club can issue CAMS L2S licenses.
