Anyone keen for a DECA skidpan day (Shepparton)

[93RZ]

im in if someone sorts it out

[lexsmaz]

I rang DECA the other day inquiring about the skid pan etc, they will hire it out to any Car Club at a cost of $2650 for the day, but also the organising club has to organise its own cam's insurance for the day as part of the conditions ..

They hire it out on any Saturday or Sunday ..

You dont only get the skid pan there is a " course up the back " & some other facilities as well ( if i remember correctly ) & use of their meeting room ?

Sounds cool, I'm interested in this and giving the soarer a run. Really needs an LSD, but if it's covered in water and I apply enough power - I should still have fun! Hehe

im in if it goes ahead.
if numbers are a problem invite another club to join.
makes it more fun.

OK, good info Rob. I'm away all week for work, but maybe when I get back I'll look at dates.

I'm flat out with new job, so to avoid burdening one or two people, I reckon we need to split it up.

Someone to get prices on CAMS insurance (maybe a member of TCCAV?)
Someone to check dates available at DECA
Someone to look after financials (ie: take money and pay to applicable places). We'll do it in a way such that there is no chance to have anyone stuck out of pocket.
Someone to look after finding volunteers
Someone to look after a barbie and food.

I propose that once we have costs (including insurance) we'll work out the cost p/p assuming 20ppl, as I think that is a number we can very safely get.

Lets say that gives us a figure of $200 each. Everyone pays that amount, and when we know we've covered the cost we'll book it in. As numbers increase beyond 20, the price per person will obviously decrease, and once we've locked in a total number, we can refund to those who've paid too much.

I know it's complicated, but with a lot of people potentially outside our club we've gotta do it in a way where nobody get's stooged.

Thoughts?

Anything come of this?

[stradlater]

well, I like the theory, hell I'd even check the dates and organize the money...

On the massive proviso that I won't book a thing until everyone has paid.

I want to give my gearbox/diff/tailshaft/etc a hiding well in advance of the 6 hour, and a DECA day would be ideal.

Does anyone know of any coming up in July/August? I think the Nissan guys have one in September, but that's getting a bit close to the 6hr.

thanks for the heads up .
i and my nephew are attending the nissan and fpv deca motorkana.

I don't believe DECA run a calendar, it is a driver training facility that people can hire on the weekends, it is not a race track. Ring them, they may be able to help.

Any more on this one?
Is anyone actually trying to organise, or did this get placed in the 'too hard basket'?

[SilverRA23]

No one is trying to organise anything, people were hoping there would be something they could tag along to.

Exactly what he said ^^^

The thread was started with an "are there any coming up" approach, but doesn't seem like it.
