S A U N S W - Texi, "the Original" @ Sutton Road

[N1GTR]

Hey guys and gals!

SUTTON RD BABY!!! Anyone who has been here before will tell you, it's a wild little track. That's right, track, this is no skidpan. Here's an incar video from the last time we ran it. Also note, we haven't been there in FOUR YEARS so don't be a stooge and think "I'll wait for the next one" - there may not be another one for years!

You all know the drill, this thread means entries for Texi, May 19th, are now open

Event: SAUNSW Texikhana, "The Original" proudly supported by Unigroup Engineering

Location map: Click HERE

Date: 19th May 2012

Lunch: BBQ and cans of soft drink available on site

Entry cost SAUNSW members: ONLY $110!

Spectators: Free to watch, BBQ will be $3 snag sandwich and $1.50 cans (selection of flavours available)

Passengers: Not allowed on track due to insurance rules

Courses: Same as the above video however the cones will be slightly different. It's essentially a private version of National Park Sutherland or Old Pacific Highway up North.....no police, no oncoming traffic...

Results: Electronic timing being used, results will be on Natsoft after each group has their run

Accommodation: Separate thread will be up for that very soon. We will be staying in cabins at a really nice caravan park with a pub next door

Those of you that have been to one of these before will agree, this is the best money you can spend as far as driving time for an event. The event will be run after run until 530pm (or when the sun goes down), and considering most runs are under 2 minutes AND that we're kicking off at 9am, that's a lot of runs

This is a safe event where you only go as hard as you want to, there's no pressure, one car on a course at a time.

With that said, there's usually some friendly competition between mates which is great to watch

This is a GRIP day, the venue does NOT allow drifting, so if you want to drift this place - don't enter this event

Timing for the day;

Scruitineering/sign on starts 730am

Scruitineering/sign on ends 845am (Don't show up at 825am, come with plenty of time to spare. We start on time and you will be missing runs if you come late, it's only fair to those who show up on time)

Drivers brief 850am (mandatory attendance all drivers)

Runs start 915am

Lunch approx 1230pm depending on how the day is going (One hour, cars will continue to run however there may be delays as we send food and drinks out to the volunteers)

Runs stop 515pm

Gates close 530pm

Entrants please note:

-All entered cars must arrive in time for and pass scruitineering, no exceptions.

-All drivers must be licensed (AASA or CAMS) and show valid licence and expiry date at sign on.

-All cars must have an insurance approved fire extinguisher secured within drivers reach.

-Sidepipes are not allowed. Screamers/external gates venting to atmosphere are also not allowed to be entered. No exceptions (this is not my choice, I ♥ gate)

-Entries are open now, entries close 5pm 16th May to allow time for officials to organise paperwork.

-Supp regs and Entry Form are attached. Entry forms without payment will be rejected.

-Yes you can join SAUNSW on the day (allow an extra 5mins at sign on)

-Yes you can organise an AASA or CAMS licence on the day (allow extra 10mins at sign on)

-There is no Eftpos/Credit Card machine on site, so bring cash and we will have change there for you. If you can bring close to the right amount that's helpful.

When I have money.

[benm]

Approx how many runs each?

My guess is 3-4, based on 3 minutes turn around for each run.

[N1GTR]

Last time the slowest run was 1 min 58 seconds (quickest 1.32). As soon as the car on course crosses the finish line there will already be another ready to start (it's a loop, so no need to wait for the car beforehand to return) - so I cant say how many runs exactly. It would be silly to anyway as it's just a guess.

I can say this; There's no lunch break, runs will be continual all day, anyone causing a delay in the start line (eg not ready to go) will have the car behind them put infront of them so there is no delays.

You know how I run things like this Ben, there's absolutely no way to have more runs - the day is designed to maximise driving time for all entrants

If it helps, at the last one we expected 6 runs for the day but it ended up being more like 13 from memory by the end of the day. It also depends on entrant numbers, how many cones get knocked down, planetary alignment haha

[luke gtr]

whats the max volume of exhaust at "x" meters?

just got a 4inch put on, sounds crap and loud....

but i want in dammit!

[sweefu]

95dB mate.

but i want in dammit!

As long as it has a muffler it should be fine. It's screamer pipes and exhausts without any mufflers that are the drama

[luke gtr]

It has a muffler, measures around 103db at 1m 45degree angle at 5000ish....
