Fire extinguishers needs a date stamp hence the ones at race revolution cost $50..

You need a secondary bonnet catch, blue battery sticker (can use tape) and a cams approved helmet $80, long sleeves and trousers pref cotton, Cams licence on the day is $20 maybe.

However last time I was at Mallala they never checked the car...

Can we confirm if an extinguisher is required for a come and try day?

For a "Practice" day at Mallala, there is no scruitineering. Nobody checks your car over.

Which is all good, but you don't know if the other cars out there are leaking oil etc.. That, and there is too much varience in the speed of everybody. Not cool. Some doing 1:18, some doing 1:50. Being overtaken whilst overtaking isn't fun.

Try the MSCASA Super Sprint series. Everybody gets scruitineered, so you can be a little surer that the rest of the field are track worthy.

This also helps by running all cars in their own lap time groups, so you shouldn't be too out of your depth at any point.

MUCH safer, MUCH better organisation.

what about collingrove for an extinguisher on a come and try day as hillclimbs are what I'm really interested in.

MSCASA sounds better, I'm certainly not going to be fast by anyones standards, I just want to have a bit of fun.

You will also need a second throttle release spring. It would be awesome to have more golfs up at collingrove for the hillclimb, ATM there is just me in my mk1 valver, joel in his blown mk1 1600 and rarely a UK mk1 GTI import.

Seeing those makes me want to have a go. Better than beating around the back roads of your home town

(even though some of them are pretty bloody awesome!)


Nice job on the editing too! Makes the vids heaps better with music

Wish I knew how to do all that. (not very computer literate)



A friend of mine sometimes competes every now & then in the hillclimbs & Mallala sprints

Used to run a Alpine White 83 Campaign GTI (which I know own) & now he runs a VR6.

I think his mate also runs a mk1 GTI 1600 too.

He's been trying to amp me up to come over to a track day.


Might have to look into a LSD or even a spooled diff setup.
MotorX & KanaX blokes in the states seem to run pretty hard & have good luck with lockers surprisingly too.

Cheers on the booyah for the vids , we filmed 8 events last year with all of them edited to music, the ones without music were edited for youtube. YT is currently cracking down on the use of non authorised tracks. For example the incar footage of me in my little white golf had a bit of System Of A Down as the backing but YT just muted it so to avoid this and keep the backing tracks we wanted we just did 2 versions of each vid, one for YT and one for our DVD.
