steven, what's the stance on non-FTOs? I <u>know</u> i won't have my FTO by then, but i'd still like to take the old MGB out for a spin on the track, depending on how other commitments work out...

damn real life for intruding on fun-time!

hmmm, reading those PDFs, i think i'd be both a little out of place AND very slow

(lol seeing as the MG was dyno'd at about 40 bhp @ wheels

- GO 35 year old engines!)

i think ill leave it this time, maybe ill come along when i actually have an FTO...

count me in, i'll be there to cheer yas on!

anything fun (other than racing) planned for the weekend??

Post by **smorison** » Mon Apr 19, 2004 4:28 pm

any car can come along however those that are going to be substantially slower than the rest (i.e very old cars) are a safety issue for all those on teh track and you'll have to speak directly to UAS regarding it.

thought he had problems with his engine and was looking at giving it a onceover or something?

Helmets complying with Australian Standard AS1698 are approved for CAMS events (6-9 Sched D). Helmets bearing this standard must not be modified from original specifications. The manual only states that for Kart races a full face helmet must be worn.

The other thing to remember will be clothing, must be full length clothing (ie - long sleeve shirt/ trousers), pref cotton (or a racing suit if you have one) - not polyester or synthetic materials... and just in case you were feeling saucy... high heeled shoes are prohibited along with thongs and roman sandals...

YIKES!! I did actually learn something from reading the CAMS manual.... and I mean ALL of it!!

There will be a meet point or two setup... somewhere down near the M5 at beverly hills most likely... or homebush...

we will have mikey (GPXXX) coming along from victoria as well (as a spectator)... we'll need to get him in a car at some place as well....

uuummm hello dave!!! you gonna drive my fto.... I don't think so!!!! actually i've had a few issues with mine over the past few days.... starts up and then just stops... not sure if its an alternator issue which is effecting the battery charging... so i'll definately be a passenger on this day....

D-TRAIN · Post by **D-TRAIN** » Fri May 07, 2004 10:56 am

it's probably just a dirty stepper motor... easy to fix....

If we come up, will it be easy to find you at the track? Or getting actually into the track for example?

SilentBob · Post by **SilentBob** » Sat May 08, 2004 6:22 pm

apparently(dont take this as gospel till one of the 'main' people reply)
but there will be 2 groups headin to the track, one which consists of those participatin which will be leavin sydney at some god awful hour...
the other, at a somewhat more acceptable hour will leave, which will consist of the spectators....that way no one is 'solo' for a whole 2hr drive or whatever it is to wakefield....

Hence, should be easy to find and get around when there is some kind of organisation as a group
