It seems most people still aren't back from Shepparton just yet. But when they get back I'm sure there will be some stories so post them up here.

A few car drama's spoiled an otherwise great day in the heat. The technical layouts provided a different challenge this time that was for my part a nice change. Still - fun and fast will still be the main focus of these days in the future.

Anyways - thats all from me. I look forwards to seeing th footage of Vic breaking NSW.

Also - I'd like to put out a big thanks to everyone that help run the day. It was a difficult day to be out in the heat so it was a job well done. And we hope you like the exclusive shirts as a token of thanks.

Big thanks to all those that stood out in the sun all day or over a hot stove. Cheers.

Highlight, driving home in the air conditioned comfort of the Echo, when in the faling sunlight you see the headlights of Riverdance coming up from behind. Looking into the mirrors it looks awesome...the car has real presence on the road.

Even with 3 piont turns the silver bullet was one of the best from a spectators perspective. If you're giong to kill cones may as well do it right :)

I so suck at this stuff. I should be taking it serious and trying to improve, but its just toooo much fun hammering the car. If nothing else i proved to Jamezilla it wasnt hi fault at Dutton, the car is just drawn to witches hats :)

Awesome day as always guys... Thanks to SAU etc for organising this and all the officials that helped out during the day...

Bit bummed about catching this cold or whatever the hell it was - sort of put a dampener on my sat'day night... I'm sure the other guys more than made up for it though! :)

Was a good send-off for my rexy too... Next deca I should be in the Mitsubishi camp :)

Cheers,

matt

Yep - big thanks to Racingline and all our officials, you guys really do make these days possible, we can't thank you enough. Also too a big thanks to Steve and Shaun from SAU NSW for coming all that way just to learn how to run a REAL event and that you stand no chance of beating us at anything :)

The day was a bit warm but a success all the same. The little red cheater car sure is fun!

Tired and in need of a shower - the after-hours stories (and oh, what stories) will have to wait for now.

Some highlights though...

Cougar - i want the fat one, i want the fat one

Juz - let's mace someone!

Sunshine Steve - bleurgh! (spews x3)

James

BTW - Nath, sorry we lost you this morning, Alan tried to call but your phone was off :)

Farkin ello kiddies.

all those mo's in one place should have a few mum's locking up children. It was a great few days again with the club. Thanks to all those that helped out whilst being burnt.

Cheater tyres do rule.

Looking foward to the start of the next season of learn how to thrash your car.

Thanks to the organisers, sponsors and volunteers ...

The sun was a killer even in the morning, while waiting for runs on the back tracks...

I couldnt get the handbrake working like it was at the last 1 until later on in the day, and managed to spin it right around when I did get it working....

The courses were a lot more technical, but were still fun....Knocking over cones was the best, because you get to drive back out there to fix em up :)

I might sit the next one out, and be back for the first one in cooler weather :)

What a superb weekend. Huge thanks to all involved with organising and marshalling. Tried to get round to most of the marshalls and thank them last night but sorry if I missed you.

Handbrake worked a treat which was my main aim for the weekend and the car returned home in one piece so the g/f is happy too and the locks havent been changed on the appartment.

Nath, as James said, tried you about 5 times and left a message as we lost you at the first set of lights. Sorry mate.

Riding coloured cows is great fun and walking through the KFC drive through was a laugh. Cheering at a white pintara with blue neons who kept doing laps outside taco bills to soak up the attention from us!

Scottie, revenge will be sought for putting tabasco in my straw so not only did I burn my mouth but also my eye when some was left under my nail! :)

Ace weekend, thanks again to everyone involved. :)

Once again, a HUGE thanks to all involved with running the event. And well done to the officials who stood out in the sun all day, you guys (and gals) ROCK!!!! :)

I've heard the stories before and seen the pics of previous events, and my first DECA lived up to all expectations. What a great day/night!!!!

Bad luck to those who had mechanical problems, hopefully all is good in quick time. :)

Highlights for me were the Long Wang, the swim in the pool at the motel in the afternoon, at Taco Bills, the...HOT SAUCE!!! OMFG :) That sh1t is EVIL! And not forgetting riding the Cows in the park outside the council offices. :)

Al....next time :P

      This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.

      Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛

      Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it

      Good tips, I like it! 😂😂 My wife is a LOT more frugal than me so it's only me we need to worry about! A splurge to her is buying 2 pairs of socks in one visit at Kmart!

      Haha, the appropriate response to the question "Is this new?" is "I've had this for a while.". With the unspoken small print that a while may be the time since this morning or five years ago   And to be fair I learned that from the best, i.e. my wife. Because it goes both ways.
