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.

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.

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!!! :oopsie:

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

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 !

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)

edit: Beaten!


Needs more circuit IMO :oopsie: maybe a race in the months missing, and the 14th feb is a bit early to run a circuit. late march sounds good tho, april? Aug? oct?
I know there are sprints on some of these dates but once there are say 10 cars, I'm sure 90% of entrants would rather circuit race.

A roll cage + a harness that expires (and we dont have a trailer so looking to get it mod plated) for 5 races is... well rough.

+ 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.

Post #126

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.

Talking about Safety gear I have Leather and Nomex gloves to SFI rating that sell I usually sell for $100.00 each
I will do gloves from my current stock of blue and white ones for $60.00 each for you guys.
I currently have 3 large pairs and 2 medium pairs in stock

almost out of boots and race suits, will probably order some more stock soon.

for sprinting you only need long clothes and a helmet.
but yes for circuit racing you need 1 piece overalls, boots and gloves.

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)

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 ?

Post #134

what are the cheapest KU36's in 13"? :oopsie: it's what everyone will basically end up running

EDIT: hmm smallest is 15" for a ku36 it seems.

there is none http://kumhotyres.businesscatalyst.com/pcrku36.htm
gonna have to look harder than that.....

I am making a few calls about potential tyres today, will let you know what I come up with.

Post #136

If your after Kumho's the KH15 will be An Option.
I was just talking to Craig and he reckons they will go great on the light weight Hyundai and we can probably do them for less than $100 each
http://kumhotyres.businesscatalyst.com/pcrkh15.htm

I will see what else I can come up with.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/13-Inch-Marangoni-T...fe#ht_890wt_939

185/70/13 seems to be the only wider 13".

so we aren't locked to the 13" rim size anymore? maybe make it a max 15" / 205 width??

NISMOgemini
Post #139

13" diameter is the on only restriction so far. nothing about width or tire size

trackattack
Post #140

those Marangoni tyres are Cheap ~!

I have 205 60 13 Nankangs that i use for dyno tyres on the datsun
see here - http://www.nankangtyres.com.au/prodDetail.php?pid=4
and here http://www.nankangtyres.com.au/prodDetail.php?pid=40




all right fuck it lets make the decision that you can run any tyre width and any rim width that fits
without modyfying the guards or the suspension etc.
:cheers:

Mind you I will be running whatever tyres come on the car when I buy it !
heres the plan
Saturday- purchase hyundai excel
Saturday night - strip the guts out of it
Sunday - arrive at Lakeside and flog the crap out of it :oopsie:
