Everyones thoughts on organising more events

[adam_lateshift]

A lot of people were spewin they missed out on taking their cars out on the track. I am one my self. Tassie needs more drift events for sure. We should organise a day for us even just every 3 months. It would be popular enough you would think?

I would like to get into hill climbs and sprint days round symmonds. But it seems you need a cage in your car for most things here. And my car wasn't ready when the LCCT had there street car shoot out

You can hire out symmons for bout $100 per car I believe, not completely sure though. Would be good to have a track day, roots tyres and brakes very quickly out there though.

Yep hire the track for a day is $99 per person if your not a member of a club.

Motorsport Tas are amazed at the turnout and hope to hold more events soon, and while its still hot on the press (next 6 weeks). they are also talking about making the track a bit safer to run in reverse.. ie make pit entry safer so you don't get what happened to Adams car on sunday.

gonna be sick!!! time to work 24/7 on my car!

you can still do track days, super sprints and hillclimbs without a cage.

[sav man]

do you need a harness? And where do I get info on events and what not?

I've only checked the LCCT and it said that you need a cage

no harness just an international standard seat belt.

read close and you'll see it only says the cage is recommended, not compulsory! its worded this way for insurance.

send me an e-mail and i'll forward you some info on events and stuff - [email protected]

Cool, it helps when you know how to read

[t01-100]

try reading the cams or fia manuals!

[adam_lateshift]

Sounds like there is heaps of interest and all the spectators loved the action. Im sure the full lock crew want to get back down here. They found the tracks to be good and liked the tassie atmosphere.

Hopefully without sounding like a wet blanket... if you intend doing speed events like hillclimbs etc with any regularity, and especially if you're going to try for every last tenth, I'd strongly recommend a cage and at least basic safety gear. I know that for many it seems impractical or expensive but when things go wrong (and unfortunately things do sometimes) it's too late to change your mind.

It's about more than rules and reg's.

If you don't have the safety gear just take it easy and treat it as fun not competition. Racetracks, cars, speed etc should be treated with respect not blind optimism.

I encourage people to take it to the track, but keep things in perspective and use common sense.

Yeah very interested in getting my CAMS as well so i can get into racing maybe??? Although after the weekend maybe have to get into drifting instead!!!

An L2S (Supersprints, hillclimbs etc) licence is $66 from memory. That’s for a year, but to participate you also need to be a member of a CAMS Car Club - TDRC, LCCT, HSCC, NWCC etc. TDRC membership is $40 I think.

For the state and national circuit races and series you need what’s called a National Circuit licence, I just got my renewal (and lost the paperwork already!) for this and it is about $400 + medical ($100) + Car club membership.

cool, well i dunno if i even need one yet, but am joining the LCCT when they renew in December.
