  1. Playday rules are very different indeed. For example.....there is no scrutineering as someone who regularly complies with MSNZ rules would understand scrutineering to be.

    Playdays are actually run as 'non competitive' 'driver training sessions' with a 'trainer' on hand to sit alongside drivers to show them braking points, lines etc.....to anyone observing Playdays (apart from those regularly complying with MSNZ regs), Playdays look and feel like a regular track event....but they are technically not.

    They also have strict rules in place re: undertaking/overtaking in the corners.....you can't. If 2 cars touch.....you are both off the track for the day. Fire extinguisher brackets do not have to be the double strap type for Playdays but we are advising people to buy double strap types if they are intending to enter MSNZ events.

    I will be reinforcing the 'Playday rules' and differences to people over the coming months through the Flat-Nats FB page and DOBC and CS forums so everyone understands well ahead of time what the expectations and rules are for Playday events.

    I'm also completely comfortable with people applying MSNZ standards to the Playday if they want to.

  2. as above......helmet, 100% cotton overalls or racesuit, and mounted fire extinguisher. Just standard Playday compliance.

    St Johns onsite all day, fire extinguishers at points around the track. Track briefing covers all other safety aspects including under/overtaking in corners, oil on track, fire, red green orange lights, etc...

    I will cover off the key Playday briefing messages on FB and the forums as we lead up to Flat-Nats

  3. We are now taking payments for the Flat-Nats Manfeild track day (grip event) 12 Sept. We have 36 slots to fill so let's fill em up with Subies!!

    Payment details:

    Pay $110 (per car) into the DOBC Club Account

    Bank: ASB Account no: 12 - 3013 - 0153931 - 01

    Ref: 1st initial and last name

    PM us here when you've made payment so we can track it

    12 Aug is the cut off for payments. We can fully refund up to 12 Aug. After that you'll need to negotiate a refund with Playday on Track who are hosting the track day. Get in early to secure your spot!

    You will need helmet, 100% cotton overalls or racesuit, and mounted fire extinguisher. All drivers will need to register on the day and fill out indemnity form.

    And don't forget....before the track day starts ALL subies whether your tracking your car or not, are welcome to line up on the track in 3 columns for 2-3 low speed laps while we video and photograph the pack!

  4. sup guyz.....Flat-Nats......would you be interested in doing dyno runs on the first day of Flat-Nats (12 Sept)?

    $100 to hook a 4WD up to a Dyna Pack dyno. You will get 4-6 runs with a boost and oxygen sensor.

    Book and pay before 12 Aug

    What interest?

  5. the Flat-Nats Facebook page is still being worked on but we are close guys real close. Bear with us. For now I'm posting update info across a number of forums including this one and Facebook pages.

    As soon as the Flat-Nats events page is up we'll be able to centralise all our info and messages in one place

    Nearly there guys and things are coming together nicely

    The Flat-Nats team are pleased to announce that Link Engine Management (Link ECU) are the official sponsor of the Link Flat-Nats '15.....the 1st ever 'truly National' Subaru MegaMeet.

    https://www.facebook.com/dirtyolbc

    I know you'll join me in welcoming Link onboard.......and damn, this is exciting stuff!!

    The Link Flat-Nats '15 Facebook Events page is going live in 2 days

  7. banner11_zpsf58e8170.jpg

    The Flat-Nats events page is nearly ready to go live!

    We are close to getting a Primary Naming Sponsor and hope to confirm very soon

    The 2 day programme has firmed up nicely and we have a good mix of activities lined up for you......watch this space!

    Be there with bells on. Planning to trailer the WRX down at this stage but see how things go nearer the time.

    When will payments for the trackday be open Joe?

    Pretty much anytime bro....you've probably still got the AC number anyway. We'll manage the track fees through the DOBC Club account as per normal.

    I wasn't planning to this time but it's worked in the past and I can monitor numbers better.

    Shale's hopefully banging up a Flat-Nats FB banner this weekend and once that's done, the site will go live with all the info incl the 2 day programme and bank AC details for track day......how's that?

  9. You can make it. If you're a subie fan then you deserve this no matter where in NZ you live. It all comes down to planning and how bad you want to be there! It's 7 months away.....i could plan a trip to the moon in 4....and be back in time for Flat-Nats lol

    Link Engine Management, DirtyOL'BC (DOBC), Club Sub (CS) have joined forces to bring you Flat-Nats '15....the 1st ever truly National Subaru MegaMeet

    If you have a passion for Subaru culture then this is where you need to be in Sept. Unlike a 'Club Nationals MegaMeet' which targets and caters to its own membership first and foremost, Flat-Nats '15 is a National calling to all Subaru enthusiasts and all Subaru communities up and down the country regardless of whether you belong to a Subaru club or not, to make your way to the NZ Subaru Mecca....Flat-Nats '15. The 1st ever truly 'National' Subaru MegaMeet.

    Right now we're moving pieces into place to make this event happen. Lock 12 & 13 Sept 2015 into you calendars and make your way to Manfeild as this event will feature something for everyone! A track day, A Meet'n Greet, A Show'n Shine, A Scavenger Hunt, and other little goodies.

    The event Facebook page will go live by mid March. We're approaching sponsors right now. A draft 2 day programme has been scoped.

    And most importantly, we have the 'Green Light' and a clear message from the Subaru community up and down the country that a National Subaru MegaMeet is well overdue......the Planets are aligning!

    I'll post the link to the Facebook events page when it goes live.

    Watch this space.....and feel free to post up any questions keeping in mind that we haven't finalised the finer details of the programme just yet

    DCVR (DOBC), Raydeo (CS),

  11. ok so first up this was a great day out! A long day.............but a goodie.

    Big ups to the crew who came down to support especially Wgtn-bc who manned the BBQ for most of the day..................too much bro! Slydog, Scoobydoo, Chris, leufkax, chuluzmo, sl8r.............and anyone else I mite have missed

    Special mention also to the BGC crew who were absolutely awesum!............too much guys

    The guys at Shred Aaron, Josh, and Geoff did a great job pumping those cars thru and giving great feedback to the owners.

    A good turnout.....
