zedrally Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Just wait for the red tape and regulation police to now strike, at least with AASA it was quite " loose" I can see Scrutineers & Stewards gleefully rubbing their hands together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluerat Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'm a past State board member for CAMS, but now love AASA after Rally Tas this year...I was rung up Fri arvo at 2.00 and asked If I wanted to navigate...yep.. two and a half hours later I was sitting in the car at the start line, that is, I signed up for a licence 30 min before that, we missed breifing, the car had a very quick scrut , I drove it through the Start as the driver was still signing stuff, 20 min late for the first stage (Prologue luckly!), I scored some notes but had no road book for the Fri stages and we came home 2nd outright, chasing down the leading Porsche until the clutch went on the 3rd last stage!! one of the best weekends of my life, sure beats doing the 2 start controls I was going to do. The Event Director came and had a beer with us at the dinner, raised his glass and said 'well done boy's...we couldn't have done that with CAMS....' The guys above are right, unless your in the top 3 no one really is fussed what spec you run, I've seen Zeds with 16 x 7.5 inch rims with 225 tyres etc etc etc. Hopefully they will be able to keep the 'Demo' class that Jason ran his 120Y in, as it's a ripper and the public love it, he is right that FX was a Sports Sedan but was great to see in action, should be more of it! Stu Benson once told me that 80% of competitors are in it for fun, 20% think they can win it and 3% can win it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedrally Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 That is exactly what is happening with AASA "sanctioned" events. They are fun! There has been heaps of praise about how the Seemore Stages has been run. Roll up, scrut on site and off you go...no stress..plenty of fun. I can see reasons for running CAMS events and many good reasons not to, although AASA is looking better each time I look at it. Sorry for going OT, but anyone contemplating building a rally zed (whether for Tarmac or Forest) really needs to tread carefully now & comply with the regs to the letter "IF" the're looking at running in a CAMS sanctioned events above club level and not wanting to seek the attention of the scrut's & stewards (let alone fellow crews who are looking for a valid Protest point).

GV260 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Do they allow any in car cameras? Would be awesome to see some footage of your car in action... Yes, cameras are allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
