260DET Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 Is there one place to go to which has all the Phillip Island sprints and regularities scheduled for this year? I'm looking at coming down early summer, preferably at a time when there are two events close together. But PI lists bugger all, who runs sprints there? Quote
1600dave Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 http://www.piarc.com.au/?page=calendar https://www.msca.net.au/events.php Thoroughly enjoyed the 6hr relay last year and wouldn't mind another crack at PI. I've been thinking of heading down later this year / early next year as well, was pumped up for datnats but had to pull out. Quote
dat2kman Posted May 5, 2013 Posted May 5, 2013 There is the Historic meet in March 2014. Three days of track access, but youd be in the regularity division. Island Magic will require a cams certified cage, safety gear inc window net. You could work it that you do another event the weekend prior/after on way north/south, at Winton, Wakefield or Eastern Ck. Quote
viking Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Get onto Cams web site and look at their calender. lists all events inc PI. Also lists which clubs are running them etc. Quote
260DET Posted May 6, 2013 Author Posted May 6, 2013 Yeh I looked at the CAMS site Viking but a search throws up nothing, zero. Quote
Gordo Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Hi Richard, if you go to the PIARC home page, click on calendar and you will see. The weekends of. June 15/16, August 17/18, and Australian sprint champs November 9/10. Most of the PIARC sprints are 95db, and the Saturday is always the practic and some time passenger sessions. So Saturdays are not timed, but great for you to get your self sorted, and come out Sunday and kick some butt, November looks like it Could be a good one to get two days in!!! Cheers. Quote
viking Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Go to CAMS web site- press on 'Get Involved" press on 'events calender' and then fill in dark blanks and you will get all you need. Quote
260DET Posted May 7, 2013 Author Posted May 7, 2013 That late November sprint looks good Gordon, should be able to make that Filled in that stuff Viking but it kept thowing up blanks no matter what I tried. Quote
Gordo Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Good stuff Richard, Peter Mac and I are going to enter the November sprint. Maybe we can get a few more and make a big weekend out of it. Heaps of time to get ready. Gareth and Simon ,Dimitri heaps of others get on board. Cheers. Quote
1600dave Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 From the website Australian SuperSprint Championships 09/11/2013 - 10/11/2013 not 22/23/24 November ?? Quote
Gordo Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Yer good pick up Dave, I was reading the one below. V8 super cars. I have amended the above. Cheers. Quote
1600dave Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 Yer good pick up Dave, 22nd November is the wifes' birthday - I was looking at dates a few weeks back for a roadtrip down to PI and was pretty sure the Nov sprint didn't clash with that most important date that good husbands never forget Despite the fancy name (Australian Supersprint Championships), this is just your run-of-the-mill supersprint ? Open to all (even foreigners from north of the border) ? I assume so, its listed on the NSW supersprint calendar as well. And while I'm asking questions, what's with the "Division One" and "Division Two" in regularity (as mentioned in the PI Classic regs) ? Different classes / different speeds / something else ? Most events I do just have two groups for Regularity (fast and slow) when there are enough cars for two fields of regularity drivers. Quote
dat2kman Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 's funny, Morgan Park at Warwick also run a one off "Australian Supersprint Championship" event late in each year, it is a three day event, ie practice all day on the Friday, and then timed runs on the Sat and Sun. It is not a round of their usual series but a stand alone event. Dave, the PI historics run two groups of regularity, they like to call it Division 1 and 2, instead of " really slow old fashioned clapped out junkers". And " semi fast in their own minds weekend warriors" VHRR take great delight in rejecting serious entries, and accepting very odd things like 1926 Darracq's with open chain drives, and no seatbelts, 'cos its pukka! Your 1600 would rate, however, it would be luck that lets in a far more modern Datsun 280 ZX, but it is worth it just for the experience and track time, approx 6 sessions at 20 mins per. Yes entry fee now is getting steep, i reckon that VHRR will now see declining numbers based on lack of "value".$700 odd for PI Historics Whats the entry fee for the Sprint champs? Bear in mind it is one day untimed/practise. That teams 6 hour gave very good track time over two days, i felt! Quote
260DET Posted May 7, 2013 Author Posted May 7, 2013 The November event we are talking about Jason is run by the PIARC, it is not a histronic event. I was thinking of doing that end of year sprint event at MP but PI beckons For November blokes, I would be happy to chip in for a share garage at PI. Be prepared and it (the rain) won't happen Quote
1600dave Posted May 7, 2013 Posted May 7, 2013 " really slow old fashioned clapped out junkers". And " semi fast in their own minds weekend warriors" Dilemna - what to do if you fall into both categories Quote
Riceburner Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Good stuff Richard, Peter Mac and I are going to enter the November sprint. Maybe we can get a few more and make a big weekend out of it. Heaps of time to get ready. Gareth and Simon ,Dimitri heaps of others get on board. Cheers. I could be in for that too, it's always a lot more fun with plenty of Z cars there. No garantees, my events will be limited as I have major gearbox issues and a new BIG cam change. Quote
Gordo Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Hey Gareth , you putting the zed on the operating table already, surching for a bit more HP, hope the gearbox holds out. Cheers. Quote
Ledge Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Good stuff Richard, Peter Mac and I are going to enter the November sprint. Maybe we can get a few more and make a big weekend out of it. Heaps of time to get ready. Gareth and Simon ,Dimitri heaps of others get on board. Cheers. After seeing Phillip Island for the first time at the Nationals but not having my Track Z there I am keen to come over and punt my car around there. I would be keen to join this little event aswell. Cheers Quote
260DET Posted May 10, 2013 Author Posted May 10, 2013 Looks like we need another Queenslander sprinter or two for this gig. Plenty are reading this thread, all we need is for a couple to man up Quote
Gordo Posted May 10, 2013 Posted May 10, 2013 If we get enough, they might be able to put us all in the same group. That would make a great photo and video . Quote
260DET Posted July 7, 2013 Author Posted July 7, 2013 Looks like the PIARC site puts up the sup regs and entry forms here http://www.piarc.com.au/? Quote
Gordo Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Yer ,that is the page to look out for. At this stage I will be doing the August 18th sprint at PI. Quote
