I had a great day as always.

As always, I said I might just try to win this time, but as soon as I lost traction the first time, I gave up and just went for the biggest angle and the most smoke.

Speaking of smoke, I burnt through at least 65% of my brand new tyres.

And I need a new clutch :D

But that doesn't matter, I had a freaking ball as always!

Where are the pics?

BASS OUT

...flashbacks...its slowly coming back to me :D

Great weekend, big thanks to Russel and friend (sincere apologies but im drawing a blank on your name), Nat, Mav, Leewah for helping run the back track.

Big thanks to Tom, Chris, Jarrod and Al for the drives...Al's car is GREAT fun...old school turbo hit!!!! Maybe RB20s do suck?

Good session on the drink as well...apologies to the ladies for the bad language on the loud speaker at 4am...was trying to round up the drinking troop!

I have the flu now and feel average but I've done the results none the less.

Thanks to Nige and Karl and the Racingline crew for helping to bring us the recent event. Also I'd like to thank everyone that helped run the day. It ran extreemly smoothly and this ensured everyone got their full compliment of runs.

I'd also like to thank everyone that competed on the day for once again bringing the right attidude along and making the day enjoyable for everyone. It was especially great to see so many passengers all through out the day.

Sorry to all that I couldn't make the post event shinanigans but I was thinking of you all as I was sitting in the swamp.

Until the next next one ....

Cheers

Snowy.

PS - Blaise is banned from using my car in future events

PPS - Next time around we need to ensure we have David in the 350z and Nige in the Supra for a quality RWD head to head.

DECA_Final_Results_May_06.zip

For some stupid reason my computer is unable to find/open attachment can someone please email to me, thanks.

**EDIT: Maybe my computer is not so stupid :)

I know my times and result are worse than the last DECA, but i was having to much fun :). My 19's (rear) now require replacing, again :D

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
