Yes very bad visions, there should be no cushioning for those soccer mums, theyre really big cars are big and strong so theyre children will never get hurt.

Jono

Mt Cotton Hillclimb - Training Day
Sunday, 21 Feb 2010 07:00 AM - should be fun

we can also include rounds at Qld Raceway (the short sprint track) if people are keen ??????

trackattack

Roll cage is only required if you do circuit racing, the above dates are for sprints.
price is $190.00 per round at lakeside and $120 at Qld Raceway, same cost as normal sprints.

We can do Circuit Racing if you want
$200 at lakeside and $160 at QR - car must have a min 4 point cage and harness.

Cheers Jeff

Jono

I'm all for this but the $190 a race hurts a bit

clutch-monkey

$190 for actual timed racing for a whole (or even half) day sounds alright

especially given the alternative

Tontseks

TBH the $190 is a bit much for what we will be doing. I have an X2 I am very keen to race. How about we host it at QR instead? It'll drop the cost a fair amount.

wilba

dont no iff it has been covered but wat about other cars like my daily 95 ford festiva 1.3 or is it strictly excels

Tontseks

Excels only by whats been said. He did state that he can run a series for anyone with enough people involved.

We already currently have a class in our main series that covers cars like that.
the idea of the excel series was to keep it all the same.
that being said there are probably quite a few cars with similar power/weight as the excel that could be run with them if there weren't too many objections.

mainly in datsuns
Only doing 1:22 around the morgan park 2.1km track

ricethief

There's no mention about suspension, is it free or will there be restrictions?

Tontseks

Good point ricethief. I vote we open this up so we can have something to spend time fiddling with once our pod and cat-back is on

wilba

well thats no good i think it should be cars 1.6 and under or wat every the excsels are at least it would give people more range of car to buy

Hi Jeff,

I kind of agree with a few of the others about the 190/200 to circuit race at lakeside. if we can get a min number for curcits is there a way this could come down to say 150 and maybe 100 for QR? I'm sure at a better price point you'd get more people coming to race.

The sprints side of it doesnt appeal to me, but the cheap aspect of proper racing sounds awesome if you can keep the cost down (cheap car, cheap race)
also hows the cheap cages going? any idea on price?

TwinCam16

$190 bucks?

Fuck that.

I'm out.

tmwnn

what would be the prize for the series win? free supercheap seat covers for excell?

Evaded Motorsport

Far out guys, $190 is a fantastic price to have a whole day of racing at Lakeside. At the end of the day this is a business it is not a charity. Going straight through Queensland Raceway costs the same amount however you do not have assistance from many of the various sponsors and the opportunity to share in some fantastic prizes.

Will be interesting to see how it goes Jeff, depending how things go we might pick up a cheap excel to take part. But I think we have too many toys as it is.

trackattack

Yes the price is the same as what you pay when you book directly through QR to go to QR or LP.
But in addition we are organising and running the series and providing trophy's.

Plus we will probably provide some kind of series prize as we have lots of business who want to support grass roots racing.
including...

Evaded Motorsport
AusPerformance
Quattromotive Auto Tech
Specialised Driving
AMS Painting & decals


In addition to the stock class we will be including the "Excel Rally Series" cars in a separate.
This class will allow more freedoms for tyres and suspension for those who want to improve their cars.
It will also allow the rally cars to run in our series without modification.

Cheers Jeff

Jono

ok im in - need info on cages. do they have to be cams approved?

I am pretty handy with a mig/tig (design and tech teacher) and can fab one if the price is going to be huge. however time is money

trackattack

No this has nothing to do with cams.
Cages are NOT required for sprints.
Cages for circuit racing are Minimum 4 point cage.
building your own is no problem.

SACK

does anybody/shop make bolt in cage? What price would i be looking at?

Jono

Can you still get cages at the price you stated before?

trackattack

Price needs to be confirmed, but I think I can get a 4-point bolt in cage kit from between $300 to $600.

Jono

Can friends hop in the car and have a play?
Sorry this info is probably on the website but it seems to be playing up for me

trackattack

yes you can let your friends drive your car.
They need a AASA Clubman licence for sprints which is $20 for a day licence or $55 for the year.

Jono

Sorry for the many questions - will get my firewall sorted in the next few days.

How does the championship work ie points etc

I will be missing the first meet because im taking the lux down to half way havoc in NSW but wil make the rest

trackattack

first place = 50 points
second = 45
3rd = 40 etc etc

we can also introduce a consistency component to help the slower cars if we need to.

Jono

How many races in a day?
how many practicelaps?
