The AASA has come from the AMSAG rally series,

Yes Doogie - but more a case of AASA came to the AMSAG series. I Directed the Bathurst AMSAG Rally 1999-2001 and have just got back from helping out at Bathurst May 23rd when it was the first event for the AASA and AMSAG. Still don't know alot about the AASA but enough to say that it is a great opportunity to give the classic cars a run.

I was originally drawn to AMSAG having run a 2 litre Escort that really didn't fit in with the CAMS regs. In Bathurst this year there were 53 cars that was a terrific turnout and larger in size than an equivalent clubman or state round (possibly even an ARC round that struggles to get 30 cars). I have also had a CAMS National Rally license and an International FIA Rally license and the AASA/AMSAG rounds are well organised, safe and social. Puts the good feeling back into motorsport again!

regards


I went to this meeting at Easter run under CAMS regs...there were quite a few old cars there :D

From the poll it seems AASA has more to offer.

However, I did pointedly direct the questions to those currently engaged in motorsport and/or those who intend to in the near future - more poignant than you might think.

Have been with CAMS as official and competitor and we now run the MRA under the AASA and the reason for that is costs, both organisations offer insurance so that motorsport can take place. Both organisations use pretty much the same standards for safety measures in the cars except the AASA does not ompose stupid age related rules that make competitors throw away seats, harnesses and helmets just because they are a certain age ( CAMs Adopted the FIA rules which might be fine for those with F1 or V8 taxi racing but is bull for club level competitors) and up untill this year CAMs did not have a license that compared in costs with the AASA license for club level competitors..

Now lets get a few things straight Cams and the AASA set basic safety standards for the sport but the catergories and the classes are set by the associations that run the events or the catergories, they forward there rules to the governing bodies and then they are adopted, any changes to what is right or wrong is governed by ruling bodies

CAMS is supposed to be a non profit association representing the affilaited cars clubs that make it up and would not exist but for the car clubs where as the AASA is the hairy legged money making org run by Bob Janes money with the Ronke familly as the visible leaders and when a organisation that is set up as a biz can slash the costs ccharged by the non profit mob some thing does stink, and when the club level competitors are going to the new people because they cannot get any service or just outcomes on pricing from the org that is supposed to be run for the car clubs ????????? draw your own conclusions
