QUOTE (Jono @ Feb 6 2010, 07:59 PM)  Done and dusted. Will go tomorrow for a looksy and will find a car next week. Will there be many excels ther tomorrow? And does that mean you can potentially earn 250 points in a day at lakeside (yes im dreaming)? Finally, if my mates are driving, does the car get the points for the cmapionship or is it the driver? Not sure how many will be at Lakeside today, there were 2 at our meet there last sunday. Points are round based, so for sprints best time for the day earns the points. So if you share your drive you wouldn't be penalised for points.

QUOTE (Jono @ Feb 7 2010, 10:53 AM) Thanks for the chat today just to confirm - the first round will now be the 7th march? Todays event was moved to 7th March, so we can run Excels on the 7th March if you guys are keen. 14th March sprint will still also run as calendared. doesn't matter if we only get a couple of cars to the first couple of events, Interest is growing in this, hopefully it will kick off big over the next few events. |

How will this work for the actual races? can you swap drivers as well? I'm looking at splitting a car with a mate of mine and would like it know if you can swap drivers on races days, make it like team effort. |

TrackAttack mate I'm loving your idea racing the most commonly stolen car around a race track, if only i wasn't putting all my spare cash into my europe trip i'd be there in a sexcel. If this series goes onto into next year i'd be keen as to thrash the shit out of a sexcel first race is the 7th of march at lakeside? keep me posted |

QUOTE (trackattack @ Feb 8 2010, 08:05 PM) sharing drives at sprints or racing is no problem. Just a quick question on this comment!!! How does the entry fee work in this case?? Especailly since its a "race" meet and not a sprint meet. Do the "two" parties both have to fork out the ($190) each or would it be just the "one" fee, for the car. It would be kinda stupid if the two drivers both had to pay for a full day racing and only getting a falf a day each out of it, if you know what i mean!! I hope i'm makin sense here!!!

No the entry fee is for the car and the time that it uses. so only one entry fee is paid per car for the circuit racing at sprints if you want you can double enter the car which means 2 entry fees, but double the track time. we have had cars triple entered at sprint days PS QR sprints is cheaper than lakeside @ $120.00 QUOTE (woodsy_2312 @ Feb 8 2010, 09:40 PM) first race is the 7th of march at lakeside? The first "Sprint" meeting was originally the 14th of March, but due to rain the other day we now have 2 meetings at lakeside in March plus a meeting at queensland raceway. UPCOMING EVENT DATES Mt Cotton - Introduction into tarmac hillclimb $150 all day - Sun 21st Feb (this has nothing to do with the driver training center, so noise is not an issue) Queensland Raceway Sat Arvo Sprint - $120.00 - Sat 6th March Lakeside Sprints - Sunday 7th March $190 all day (Moved from feb due to rain) Skidpan Lakeside DTC - $120 all day - Sat 13th March Lakeside Sprints - Sunday 14th March - $190 all day Circuit Racing Qld Raceway - Sun 28th March - $160.00 all day - need a roll cage ! Sprints & Khana Carnell raceway Stanthorpe - Sat 3rd April - $100 all day early bird rate Cheers Jeff |

QUOTE (Jono @ Feb 9 2010, 07:12 AM) can i get an exact list of the series events (ie. theones we cna earn points at) The events on link below will earn points towards the series. For Sprints we will run a separate point score for each track so it wont matter if you only attend one circuit you will still get points for that tracks series. The circuit racing is only going to be 5 rounds, so that series will be a combination of both QR & LP (we wont count the 14th as its too close being this weekend) http://www.trackattack.com.au/excel |

QUOTE (wasas @ Feb 9 2010, 07:26 AM) + a harness that expires Aus std harnesses dont expire, I have had the same harness in the car for years. Dont forget this is AASA not CAMS so the rules are more suitable for the level of motorsport that we are doing. |

QUOTE (wasas @ Feb 9 2010, 09:37 AM) yeah I'm doing my research now, just kept reading about expirey dates on harness's and how they are good for 4 years. Any word on the cages? I use 2" rpm harness to AS2596 which complies with AASA and CAMS requirements. These harness do not have an expiry date. They are also road legal in my car due to the age of the car (pre 1972) I need to get a car to paul so that he can work out the steel required for the cages, but they could be as little as $300 either for a 4 point bolt in kit or 4 point welded in if you take him the car. price range for cages should be between $300 to $600, will confirm as soon as I can. |

If I can get some idea of how many people are interested i can put a deal together. I dont like to buy too many race suits for stock if I can help it due to the cost. but if I know that a certain amount are required I can get them in. race suits can come in single cotton double cotton/nomex double nomex/nomex sizes XS to 3XL (I have found you need to go up a size) |

QUOTE (slow bus @ Feb 9 2010, 12:22 PM) is there going to be any restirctions on tyre widths? I have some 13x7 rims that would fit 225 tyres which would go mint on a excel At this stage as long as your not running race tyres and they are 13" I haven't proposed any further restrictions. what do you guys want ? do you want to restrict it to something like 195 or 205 70 series or just go open on the size ? whats the general consensus ? |
