This event should be officially timed, or I see little reason to hold it. This event is for VW's to race and is an opportunity for circuit/hillclimb/street cars etc to compete against each other, showing car control,engine performance and suspension setups.
Would you race at the drags with no timing or results?????
Agree/disagree?
VWCOOL ·
Hmmmm some people enjoy a 'fang' even if there is no timing. But stuffed if I could be bothered...
51JAYCEE ·
Timing would be good.
Will they have timing there this year craig do you know?
59 BUS ·
Isn't there different rules under CAMS for race, timed or quick fang events. It could mean a change in insurance (Liability bloodsucker type). Timing would be good though!!

ok this may be my first, but i may not be able to make it, im wondering, is it possible to book a tent site a week in advance, or should i be booking now? ifnot ill sleep in my car lol
Cam ·
I think '59 Bus' is right. I agree though, I wouldn't go out without getting a timeslip. I wonder how a video camera monitoring the startline would be classified though?
type3kid ·
i think it was untimes last year due to insurance reasons, but don't quote me
speedster356 ·
What if someone other than the organising officials just happened to be hand timing, would that work?
BiX ·
As I understand it last year the Cams permit for racing was not approved (probably due to the wrong wording or some such) in which case a practice session was allowed and no official times are allowed. But if person x (not related to the running of the event) wants to stand next to the track and take taimes I think that is ok, but if those times are used offically for prizes the rules have been broken and the stewards and officals can be in big trouble.
Craig Torrens ·
Hand timing is so open to error, I mean light beam timing. We could even have split timing so we can see the different times posted for sections of the track ???
Alex Holzl ·
Dont worrie its a VW week end join in... Youll see me there timing or no timing its a chance to have fun with other VW's and a VW surround. Its also cheaper to conduct with out timing due to the insurance... Everyone please come it will be awsome!!
Brad ·
it was / is all about insurance. If any timing occurs then they will void their public liability insurance. If a 3rd party chose to time the event and it was shown the drivers were aware thne the organisers would be in the POO...
It it is an untimed event with time penalties it would be ok. For example you call it a stop and go so that the participant starts on one line and drives around the track and stops on that line again it is stop and go. The person clossest to the line wins. BUT if everyone stopped on the line then it is acceptable to use times to decide the winner...... you get my drift :P
How do I know this ..... well my insurance agent told me when I asked the question about running grass strip drags for the manx club. He told me do exactly that and that it was covered under our policy..... as it was not classified as a timed event.
BettyBoop ·
well like it was said ^^^^ up there...
timing or no timing... it isn't important to me as i've just gotten into this and will most likely only have Millie to race down there anyway as the Baja i dont think will be finished b4 Valla!
So it dosen't matter wat happens to me! Its a good time out having a go at something and enjoying it!

I will be there this year and the brakes will work and I have the suspension sorted out abit better, so hopefully will be out and having fun!!!
Craig Torrens ·
well its official............no timing !
To all the weekend warriors enjoy the track..................as for me I won't be racing
I can enjoy driving my 54' up and getting on the turps:beer:beer
ducky ·
yahoo!!!!!!!!!! counting down the days
vw54 ·
Yes no timming because the track is not officially sanctioned by CAMS.
But the weird part is you have to have a CAMs licence and you have to have a car that meets CAMS approval and there will be a CAMS official there.
So work that one out with CAMS there a WEIRD mob if you ask me
Its nothing to do with the organisers, so dont blame tehm they have tried..
Buggyboy ·
Sorry but the threads werent clear, is the racing, like drags up the 1/4 or is there a circuit- havent been there before..
amazer ·
in years gone by when there HAS been 'racing' it has been a lap dash. Raleigh is essentially a GoKart track. One car at a time to see who can lap the circuit the quickest.
I dont expect them to go out and get a track licence just for us. I know exactly how much shit goes into that as my club spent 2 years trying to get ours.
Whinging whining bitches. I think the entry last year was only $20 bucks or something stupid wasnt it? Spent more than that in fuel! Just go out and have fun. You dont need to have timing to enjoy having a blast around. I have always seen Raleigh as a place to let your hair down and go nuts. Its not the world championship. Its Nambucca.
Ask yourself how you would feel if you were working your arse off to organise an event and people started bitching and complaining about it 2 months before the event! Makes me wonder how much time some of you peole have spent organising events for others. Invite me to your christmas party so I can start putting shit on it now.
I'll be at Valla and Raleigh. I will be the one grinning. Cos those weekends I have spent there over the last 15 years are the best weekends I have ever had. Please dont try and bring me down.
Craig Torrens ·
Who's whinging and whining ???
I'ts the WANKERS that try and hand time the event and then post times/compare times as though we are competing that wreck the events.
:repuke
So how many cars will be running ? Is it really worth all that effort for the organisers (great job they do)to put on an event for a handful of cars.............I don't think so.
It would be better and more fun if we used the GO KARTS and timed it !!!!

Idisagreeand agree on this topic. Hand stop watches are not accurate at all.I had a great time taking my sportsedan for testing and bum in seat time .Lots of people gave me times from their stop watches and times were all over the place ,proper timing is need but no matter what happens i will be there having a great time it takes a lot of work to organise these events .

Have you ever done a caltex chase supersprint at Bathurst?
The timing goes like this. The start person at the hump on conrod and normal bathurst finish line person are in contact by radio. The person at the finish has 2 stopwatches. They count into the radio "3, 2, 1, go" This is heard by the man with a green flag who drops it on go at the 'same time' the person saying go clicks a stopwatch. Then they stop the 2 clocks at the finish line. How good is the reaction time of the flag guy. Any chance his flag drops at the same time for each person??? nup. Can the person at the end click a stopwatch at 1 hundredth of a second accuracy? thats what it is timed to and means the difference between winning and losing. But the thrill of doing 200 in a 60 zone through caltex is enough.
It costs around $100 to enter and they turn away people in droves every year.
Anyone compete at Amaroo? It was timed by radio. Anyone with electronics knowledge could have made a gizmo that they could enter in a time of 55 seconds for example and send their own radio signal to stop the clock, even though they were doing 55.8's. Big deal maybe. But enough for someone to theoretically walk away as a NSW hillclimb champion.
amazer ·
You can race your car and play karts as well. Do both. If I am not staring at a thousand engine pieces on a slab of concrete all weekend I hope to do just that. As well as sucking more than 2 ambers at the aussieveedubbers BBQ. Who's turn is it to take the said BBQ this year?

Amaroo used light beams for the hillclimbs, radio signals were used for Supersprints.

Er, Amaroo is all houses now... and what's it got to do with anything?
Mods: Suggest maybe a leash should be put on some of the puppies on here...
In one way, it is a shame that there is no 'official' timing at Nambucca. In the past, some people seem to have taken hand-timing as gospel truth, choosing to use this mis-information to carry on like kindy kids and criticise or otherwise challenge the accuracy of, legitimate trophy-winning results SCORED AT OTHER EVENTS!!
That is why some people here have chosen NOT to "compete" - so as they are not constantly asked to justify thier 'time' by some poor, petulant souls at what should be a 'fun' event. I recall, for example, last year - one competitor was actively and loudly criticising another's car, engine builder, engien configuration and driving on these forums, crowing far and wide how he 'won'.
Until, in the absence of 'official' results, a simple calculation by a third person proved him wrong. It was not only a right royal pain in the arse for many who read the thread, but highly embarrassing for the competitor/workshop involved. I think that was a contributing factor to him being banned... all from what should have been a 'fun' event. Yes, that's right - this poor fellow managed to 'hang' himself on a set of results that weren't even properly timed... quite sad, really...
Having said that, if you are going to Nambucca, get out there and have a lash, especially if you have never 'let loose' on a track before. It's top fun!!!

Pick at minor details all you want craig. Perhaps my knowledge is only as accurate as the timing. I'm not 100% sure of my claim but... after all a supersprint is pretty much just a hillclimb with 2 cars at the same time.
You're missing my point. My point is, if anyone cares to take it, that there are big fish out there with inaccurate timing, so a fun event like raleigh, run by pretty much by 1 person from Kemspey car club, shouldnt cause any problems. If its not up to your standards then by all means, leave your car at home on its trailer. Just dont make repeated comments that its a waste of time and suggest it shouldnt go ahead. Some people are looking forward to it, even if you arent.
And before you pick that last comment apart, well no they arent your exact words but that is the way I see as the only interpretation.
Besides you HAVE to run. If you dont, then you know someone is going to be saying you were too scared. You're all welcome to a practice run at Huntley Hill on July 11. Electronically timed (via light beams and hard wire) to .01 second accuracy. Even the clocks are checked for accuracy every couple of years.

do what you want, if you want to spend the day drifting go for it. Iam just going down and having a go going around the track, and enjoying other ppl's company who also just want to have a blast. Sure timing would be nice, buts its not all about who is fastest, its about having fun aswell, you would have never have gotten into motor sport because u want to win, it would have been for the fun of racing and pushing urself and car to the limit, sure wining is icing on the cake. The trophy sounds good,
best spin, best drift, best sounding car, best stuff up, fastest LOOKING car, etc

"would the whinger like to expose himself"
Yeah okay, you first, Gay!
<once again, for the dummies> I think most of the more experienced and passionate VW freaks on here would agree I wasn't having a whinge, simply making a slightly tongue in cheek reference to what has happened in the past, and why that has affected some people's decision whether to 'race' or not - including mine.
But now that you've mentioned whinging, my post higlighted the fact that last year, some people DID have a whinge when it was pointed out to them that the results, based on unofficial hand-timing, were incorrect. My memory is the fact that these 'results' were also used to question the validity of results gained/trophies won at other events. Like, derrrr... grow up.
The circumstances surrounding this whinging is, in some people's opinions, is not worth the effort to prepare the car and take it to Nambucca. But, as I said, get out there and have a flog anyway - it's damn good fun!
But for those of us for which racing (at Nambucca and elsewhere) is a significant investment of time and money (preparing cars, tyres, hiring tow cars, organising time off work etc), and the fact there is no 'official' timing, we won't be running due to the fact that people (like you, by the looks of things) take the shine off what could be a fukken good fun event. I'll be there - but I won't be busting my guts to get my new engine built to get it to the track.
That's not a whinge, Gay and Johhny, that's fact.

I'm not 'just blaming it on you' - but you chose to make an attack on me by accusing me of whinging and challenging me to ...whatever.
I have responsed to YOUR attack by re-iterating points I made in my original post - that some of us won't be racing or 'demonstrating' our cars because it is simply not worth the heartache to be 'dumped upon' for months afterwards by people who claimed to have 'won' the event or thier 'class' or whatever on the say-so of a pimply-faced kid holding a stop-watch.
You seem to be the only one here who hasn't picked up on that...?
It's not that my little blue beast is 'too good' as you say, but to get it there involves me finding the money and time to import my new heads, get to Coffs (1200km round trip) and have my engine built, then set up my fuel system/carbs/EFI whatever, run the engine in and then get it to Nambucca, along with completing the other car I intend taking this year. All in about 8 weeks. All for an untimed, unofficial event (yes, it's a shame) that may - if it's like last year - be the basis of waffle and bullsh*t and whinging for months afterwards.
Oh and as for what 'other VW freaks' think, I'm sure if they have strong enough opinions on how I will spend MY time and MY money, they will let me know...

Cool,
Did you choose to bag ol Bugeyed for the way he timed the event cause u did not like the results , or what ?
I hope he times it again , or at least some-body should, you can always say u were not trying to go fast when the result doesn't suit u.
poeple drive race cars without trying to go fast ? I doubt it.
I hope we get a full field of vw powered cars on the track.

Ok just one simple question people- do i need a cams to do this *event*. Does this cover the car or only the person responsible for getting the license. What i mean is if i get a cams under my name does this allow my better half to also have a go at the event.
Thanks

See, its DICKHEADS like you that now wreck the event. Even though its untimed you think that everybody is trying there hardest. SO what happened about the FUN part. There is no results you WANKER so get over it.
amazer ·
The CAMS licence covers you for Personal Accident Insurance only. It does not cover the car at all. They pay your wages if you are injured enough to be off work for extended period. I think it may be 2 weeks or more. Dont quote me on this one, the only experience I have with it is that a friend had a hard time getting the money, and that was many many moons ago.
I dont know what level of licence they will ask for. I am guessing that it will be 2S which is currently $83 from memory. You need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated club to be able to get a licence. You will probably be able to get both of those on the day through Kempsey Sporting Car Club/Jan Munro. Or you could get it through Wollongong Sporting Car Club/me.

Did you choose to bag ol Bugeyed for the way he timed the event cause u did not like the results , or what ?
I hope he times it again , or at least some-body should, you can always say u were not trying to go fast when the result doesn't suit u.
poeple drive race cars without trying to go fast ? I doubt it.
I hope we get a full field of vw powered cars on the track.
keep on bitchen

No, no, no I am not criticising Bugeyed. That is NOT the point of my post. In fact, the timing was commendably consistent. I know how difficult timing cars can be - and I didn't run my car, so I don't have an issue with last year's 'results'
I'll summarise it again..... once more, and once more only, before I start getting personal and returning fire with the shit slinging.
"Some people have chosen not to race at Nambucca, due the fact there is no precise/official timing."
HAVE YOU GOT THAT, GAY, JOHNNY?
I hope we get a full 'field' of VWs too - I will be sitting there on the hill enjoying the day!

My bet is that there will be a lot of vws drifting at the front instead of the back.
I'll be there but I'm not a lairy driver.
I can spin the inside rear wheel good but!
