    VIC Haunted Hills Hill Climb 27/9/09

    A few people have asked about this so I thought I'd start a thread to deal with the questions and get the info out there. Follow the links! There's a bunch of reading to do.

    The event is being run by the Holden Sporting Car Club of Victoria and the Ford Four Car Club as part of their Ford vs Holden speed series (and part of the Group 5 speed series too).

    The supp regs can be downloaded from this link in word format.

    The venue belongs to the Gippsland Car Club . Here's a link to the google map

    You'll need a CAMS S2 (or superior) License and membership of a CAMs affiliated club.

    Classes are as per all group 5 events. The PIARC site has the details here and here.

    Your car will need to comply with pertinent CAMS regulations.

    That should be enough to get you started, we'll work through the questions together.

    I'll be trailering the white MK1 out there on the day. Pit crew volunteers and spectators welcome!

    There's a whole thread on CAMS affiliated clubs here.

    There's also a list on the CAMS Website.

    The obvious choice is The VW Club of Victoria another popular choice is PIARC (Phillip Island Auto Racing Club)

    I'm in VWCV.

    You'll need your club membership before you can apply for your CAMS license so APPLY TODAY! If you leave it to the last minute you won't end up doing it. For some events they'll sell you a membership and a CAMS license on the day but you're far better off getting organised well beforehand. If you apply for your CAMS license via a club they can give you an interim license until your permanent license arrives, otherwise apply directly to CAMS.

    With regard to Fire Extinguishers CAMS Schedule H refers.

    In a nut shell it'll pass scrutineering IF

    • It's sercurely mounted
    • It's bracket is made of metal (NOT plastic)
    • The pressure guage is in the Green
    • It complies with AS1841 but NOT AS1841.2
    • Has a capacity of at least 900g.
    • It's mounted within reach of the driver

    Don't be too scared by all of this - Autobarn sells 'em for about $30.

    No problems, as Mod of this section I sort of see it as my job.

    I've been meaning to write up a getting started in Motorsport thread and sticky it. I'll re-use the info I've posted here when I get around to it.There's a lot of info to wade through and it's real hard going into it cold and you don't have friends that are already in the scene.

    Also check out my wreck to race thread, there's a lot of info in there too as I went through the process of getting my car race ready.

    I don't know all the answers of course but I'm always willing to learn and there's a lot of very knowledgable people on this forum.
