LOL you guys sure get excited

As Ben said, we have it easy as we are dealing with QR & AASA who understand that its entry level motorsport.
If you intend to go CAMS racing the requirements are the same at all levels and can be much more demanding.

I asked about the scrutineering requirements as anybody who is intending to do the Circuit Racing in May will have the same issues to resolve as the Pork Hunt guys did.

The minimum requirement for Topgear racing is the 4-point cage, thats what the insurers and QR have decided.
I wouldn't go circuit racing without a 6-point cage with intrusion bars and highly recommend the same.

I also strongly recommend roll cages for the sprints,
you have all seen how easy it is to roll a car and a roll over at high speed would be much more devastating.

You can buy the tyres immediately.
Please note that to get them for that price you need to buy them through Track Attack.
There is no point in phoning the tyre shops trying to get them this cheap because they wont be able to do it.
The pricing is FEDERAL SPONSORSHIP Pricing.
The prices shown include delivery, you can get them fitted by your local tyre guy if you want.

The following shops have agreed to fit and balance the tyres for $15.00 each

Qld Raceway will F&B for $15 each or 4 for $40
Tyre fitting is currently not available at Lakeside.

This man speaks the truth,

slow bus

Back on the tow hooks can we modify the front bar to fit them, I cant see any other way to attach to someting structural.

Marlin

I have (well, had, until it got torn up during the fence encounter in Tassie) the best tow hook and custom "tow" sticker on mine

trackattack

I thought cigarette advertising was banned on race cars ?

Marlin

I was glad the correct (well, close enough ) Camel cigs font was in the computer

slow bus

the cams regs state the hook can not protrude past the outer most point of the car, there is very limited metal to fix a town hook to at the front. I might have to weld in a bar to take the hook.

trackattack

get a long hook - about 350mm ?? and bolt it in on an angle where the existing tie-down points are ?

I have a couple of sets of stickers if anybody needs them.

nodrog

How many tow hooks do we need to have??

1 at the front and one at the back?? and do we only need them for circuit racing???

I have also seen a few race car that had a tow strap fitted, and I think the V8s even have them fitted and contained within the boot space. Is this an option where angle and space are a problem??

Aza

ur not refering to tow hooks like these are u? these use the exsisting tow loops. mind u theres are evo ones

trackattack

depends how many ends of the car you plan to bury in the sand trap
Seriously though, 1 front and 1 rear should be sufficient.




for sprints the only requirement is what you would find on a normal road car.
bearing that in mind, its easy to rip bumpers of on modern cars with a tow rope on a high angle



it really is easier to attach them to the lower part of the car, the chassis rails aren't that hard to get to if the hook is long enough.

Aza

btw if anyone cares us at Dryden Motorsports with the help of Budscustoms and GSL Rallysport will be building an excel for this series. Ha seems like it would be alot of fun to get into

Beannie

hey jeff, im having a few issues on your site. most links revert back to the main page...

trackattack

working on it, I know what the problem is, but its a Cpanel issue and I might have to get the server manager to fix it.

brendo12

hey jeff, im keen for that practice day you had asked about...it would be great to get a bit of track practice under my belt and to help set the car up...

trackattack

web site should be back to normal.

Greg Fahey from QR is running the training day, I will post up when I have a confirmed date from him.
Its not one of my events, but I thought a few people might benefit from it.

trackattack

I have started to organise a few tyres.
Its working out easiest at the moment to get them sent to the purchasers local tyre store.
Makes it convenient and easy.

Cheers Jeff

slow bus

finally finished stripping the interior, for the record 13.1kg worth of sound deadener is in a 97 3 door, the stuff stuck to the floor. 6.3kg worth of other sound deadener, 15.6kg for the ac

Beannie

Ebay Excel for wrecking

If anyone buys this for parts, i will be interested in taking the gearbox!!

trackattack

John at Allbrand wrecking has drivable cars for sale, might be worth a phone call and see if they sound like something you might want ph: 3881 1550 - visit them at www.allbrand.com.au

So no forced induction allowed for the class?

trackattack

Not in The Stock Excel Class - http://www.trackattack.com.au/excel
We run a separate turbo class of mixed cars.

PRO050

$100 to $500 for a single cam is the going rate.

I have been though the roll cages scenario at Mt Cotton again today.
They will accept no cage, 4 point 1/2 cages or 6 point for our events.

We would probably do something similar to the last one
access to trainers in the cars with you for an hour or 2 in the morning
open test n tune for the rest of the day.

I need some idea of who is interested in a day there.......
ta Jeff

Beannie

jeff, i would be interested, but can you run through a list of the requirements again (or post it all up on your website?)

trackattack

normal road cars are fine
normal race cars are fine

fire extinguisher required in the car (can be boot mounted)
Cams Level 2s license will be available on the day again, about $30 for a day license.
Long clothes and Australian std helmet
