He's ok, no cage, happened on the warm up lap not at race pace and rolled a far way into the gravel trap so would have washed alot of speed off. I keep hearing the word "Race" used. A quick note to all those that are currently driving or those that intend on driving. At this point most guys are entering our SPRINT rounds, not our RACE events. There is a difference between the two events. At a sprint event there is no passing, unless on you are on a straight OR you are waved to pass by the car in front. Currently we have the mentality that these sprint events are race days. We have had a number of occasions now where people are diving in on the inside into corners and generally driving as if they are in a RACE. Sprint days are designed for you the driver to race yourself and your time, not others on the track. There are no points given and awarded for the position in which you finish the only points awarded is to the person with the quickest time at the end of the day. Therefore you have a minimum of 20 laps to set ONE fast time. If you want to race, enter a race event; do not enter a SPRINT event with the intention of racing. To enter a race you will require the following as a MINIMUM - - Roll Cage - Fire Extinguisher - Race Suit - Helmet - Gloves - Enclosed Shoes - AASA National licence Most of you guys currently hold a AASA Clubman licence. This licence only allows you entry to our sprint events. To be eligible to gain a National licence you have to take part in a minimum of 4 sprint/practice events. During these events you will be observed to make sure you are safe for racing. Driving in a sprint event like you would in a race is not showing you are a safe driver. Adhering to the rules and showing you are alert and considerate of others on the track is. While I appreciate you are all out there to have fun (and so you should be!) safety is a big issue with the way SOME of the Excel drivers are driving. Bunching up the group in a sprint round to get closer driving/racing is not on (hence the additional briefing). In short... If you want to race, go to a race event (we hold plenty of them). If you want to practice your lines, improve your times, learn the car in a safe way enter the sprints. If any one has questions or concerns I'm able to answer any problems you may have. I am out in the office at Queensland Raceway most days. My number is 5461 9100 Sorry wrong wording He was not up to "sprint" pace when he crashed |

Hey Neil, QUOTE Sprints are based on your best time, not track position, so there is no need for aggressive passing maneuvers, in fact passing is only allowed on the straights. Sprints are often Called "Time Attack" or "Superlap" sessions. We have Circuit Racing coming in May, so if your keen get your cars up to scratch with Roll Cages etc More details on sprints - http://www.trackattack.com.au/sprints More details on circuit racing - http://www.trackattack.com.au/racing |

hey there just wondering if any one is using the single cam at all and if so wat are the time difference between the single and the twin. Lots of them are single cams, there isnt much difference between the two, a few horsepower at the top of the rev range. I have some dyno sheets somewhere if i can find some time I will scan them. control tire will be awesome.. so these circuit control tires will be aloud in sprints even for cars only doing sprints??? at that price $(90) i should just be control tire for sprints and circuit Yes the circuit racing control tyre will be allowed at the sprints, and it will comply with the current sprints rules, so nobody will lose out. and the price is pretty hot and availability wont be a problem, plus they will be available all over the place. I will have a list of fitters that you can use, or you will be able to use your local tyre fitters. I want to allow a bit more freedom at the sprints so that people can use they tyres that they already have without feeling pressured to buy new tyres immediately. At the price of these tyres i think that most people will want to run them anyway. |

One more thing that I should mention is that to be part of the series you need to sign up for the track days through the Track Attack website, otherwise we dont have your details and you wont get any points towards the series. |

finally got my camber bolts from the states today. I installed 1 as a test, I started with 1 degree camber and after the first set I got 2.5. So if you install them top and bottom I cant see why you would not get 4 degrees plus. |
