hey guys, . just wondering for those in VIC, .how hard is it to book deca out up in shep, for a day, cause it would be awesome to put a few nice E series, around the skid pan, and video it, .

whats ppls thoughts.

I mentioned it to Pete a while back, it's be fun as, I'd be in for it. I think we just need the numbers to cover costs.

id be up for it, even though i don't have an e-series

sorry, i probly shouldnt of limited it to e series, . . if we get a few together for a blue oval event, . it would be awesome. .

yeah i would be also.
cheers josh.

It would be alot of fun! Where abouts in Vic do they hold these?

i know deca in sheparton have club days, and let out their skid pan, . but i dont know how much it is, or what we need to be able to do it

5k for the day and you need to provide public liability and event insurance. Costly exercise. Gv car club hold open days so do other clubs.

yeh, fair bit of cost involved.
and you need to get people to commit, not one of our strong points.

its a great day....do your self a favour...stay the night in the nearby caravan park....makes life soo much easier...esp those cold early mornings up in shep.
ive done it 2 years in a row with another car club....be prepared to break something. both myself and dylan have damaged our clutches at deca you kinda dont know when to stop.

and make sure you prep activities (drifting, time trials, etc) ...skid pan all day gets boring otherwise.

yes it is expensive...however between a large group it wont be bad...i think we had 50 cars and it was about $120 for 2 days entry...correct me if im wrong dylan/bentley. and dont worry you get plenty of track time

count me out on events...but im in to watch

brad

THere are always oportunities to jump in on other clubs events too
I've been to a Mazda DECA day.

yeah its very expensive and im pretty sure you need some liecence or some shit. not just any club can rent it out.

as brad said it was 120 for a 2day event.
i went 2 years in a row and had clutch problems both years. like i was told by theo @ bluepower "deca kills cars!"

Probably need to be a registered club.

Both time i went i threw the belt twice.
overheated it

hahah yeah but you need someone in the club who has done medical courses or some shit.


i remember hearing it was 10k or something to rent it for the weekend.

please do this.
i have been wanting to attend a deca day for ages.

id be up for it also been telling my other half kath love ta take our BA xr on skid pan ... SHHHH no one mention breakages lmao...

you never break anything! actually it strengthens your car and increases fuel economy

LMAO...

I am more worried when a clutch lets go, like one did the last time I wa there!

Do you thin 'skid pan' days are fun with FWD?
Unless I re-register my XR8, I don't want to take the Laser if it will not be fun!

Off memory, I think Dave Heath took his Mazda out in the past.

haha i remember that clutch breaking and parts went flying every where and started a fire.
the only time i have ever seen john run was to grab fire extinguisher and run over to the fire.

Depends what the skid pan day is for, if you do motorkhana stuff, FWD is still fun

Hrrrm, tempting.

Siiiiick! I wan't to bust a clutch and mash a single pegger! Will there be a prize for who ever busts their car the quickest?

Yeah DECA days are awesome but as everyone has said they are a bit on the pricey side.. The GV Car Club usually has 2 open days a year, i think its $140 for the whole day, and you can win prizes etc. Morning is usually free skid sesh to dry out the pan then have 3 way drags and motorkhana(SP?) etc.. Awesome fun

And I'd be down for any DECA event held, i live in the area

HEy im definatly up for this and i know Punisher is too

ok looks like we have a few that would be up for it, so if anyone knows of any clubs that are having days there, that dont mind a few tagalongs, . .lets make a weekend out of it

I was at the 2 day event in mine, pretty much was on limiter through the entire course. Only think I broke was 2 tyres

hey guys, old topic, but found some info for anyone who is interested . .

http://www.deca.com.au/FastFactsSheet.a ... &State=VIC

cost per day is $3180

and unless im not understanding it correctly, that doesnt have medical requirements, . .

so if anyones interested, . .might start a bit of a list, and see how many we can get to attend, and thus, make it an affordable day

also i think you need public liabilty insurance as well

ill be in for a deca day. And im sure ill get a few friends in too

anyone know of any clubs that have these days, and would be ok to let other "non club members " enter with them

Pretty sure GV Car Club doesn't do them any more due to cost, and all others are usually organised through clubs (not advertised like the GVCC ones were). Probs best to keep an eye out on other forums or car event pages?
