Im coming up from Melbourne to do a day a CAMS L2s Practice Day Eastern Creek on the 13th May.

Should be another good chance to knock out plenty of laps and have some fun.

Anyone else interested in coming along for a play...its not a fun/open day so i highly doubt you will be able to take passengers etc, so you iwll have to get out their in your own cars:)

At the last one there was a genuine Ex B&H Sierra out there, shame it was raining, would have been great to see how the old girl went

If your able to make it, rev/talk it up and see if we can get some of the Vic boys up for the day.

i might be up for a genlte day of running too (no sump buffles yet:( )

Have you got a CAMS license Richard? Ive only got the SAU membership, that's not enough, is it? Pretty sure about that. Need to revisit the VERY CONFUSING THREAD ABOUT SAU CAMS ASSOCIATION AND WHAT IT MEANS.

Might get off my bum and get myself ... hold on ... L2S is level above L2NS. So there is no chance I can do it within a month.... Confused. Oh well, i ll come up to have a look.

Yeah, I have an L2S. like Reedy says, just fill out the form and send it off with your dosh. should be ready in time no worries.

boys.. I am gonna try my hardest to get out there for this.. !!!!

EC > * and I need to do some roundy roundy.. Prolly wont go nuts on my current tyres (famous last words, you all saw my expert slidey slidey on the mighty simex)..

ps. Anyone have any old simex tyres they dont want :)

I will be at EC for some practice

So will Drunken and Richard be there ?

ducnan will almost certainly not be there judging by the disclaimer in his post. haha

I want to go. nothing is stopping me... except fear of engine failure due to lack of sump baffles. however I have overcome that before, and most likely I can do it again and just keep the rev limit pegged at 7500rpm.

should be fun :)

I hope that the dinner crew turn up, will be a blast:cheers:

I just hope my CAMS license comes through in time.

I am keen even just to see what else is there.

I have not been to private practice at EC before, is it just the normal wrist to ankles and helmet ?

Smart Arses :)

Everyone looking for a CAMS license L2S, there is another option. Club execs can sign them for you on the day as well, I always have forms with me.

And....I don't want to discourage anyone, but this is a pretty full on kind of day....they keep race and road cars seperate but the standard of driving is higher than most track days, and you won't be able to have a passenger to instruct you.

OK Great news to go with this.

For those that want a weekend of motorsport, there is a state supersprint at Oran Park on the Sunday as well. Best of all it is on the full (GP) circuit which is by far NSW best track :cheers: (yeah sure include Bathurst if you want Sydneykid :cheers:)

C'mon everyone, its time we got the year's motorsport off to a start!

Duncan,

Are you suggesting that we should not consider the private practice day ?

I have not been to one since Amaroo Park days in the 80's, and back then I had a real Sports Sedan.

I want to take the car out for a good run and spend the rest of the day chatting and watching the other cars go for runs.

What type of safety requirements do they have ?

Is there anything we need to know before we arrange and pay for this day ?

Thanks

Sorry mate I don't mean to discourage anyone, it is a good track day and the driving standards are pretty high.

Its just not a great day for someone having their first track day.....there are no passengers or instructors, and overtaking is allowed in corners etc.

I'm not sure of the requirements for a road car, best to contact ARDC and post up.

I'll be there spectating.

Damn I need to fill out my calendar for all this motorsport action in May (from memory their are 2 trackdays, 2 F1 races, 2 V8S races, a cruise or 2) I think I might need to take some time off from work... oh hangon im home by midday :cheers:

I will have to wait and see how a few things pan out. Im spendign way too much money on enjoying the car at the minute...adn until i get it all sorted and running 100% im going to try and stay clear of Sprints, as you are lucky to get 10laps plus warm up and cool down laps...not the best when you are playing / chasing probs on the car:(

Practice days for me until then, 6 to 7 sessions of 8-12 laps means you get way more track time:)

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
