thanks heaps to kyle, al, tom and everyone else who helped fix my car

Firstly, thank you to everyone who participated and spectated. These event are organised for everyone to enjoy and to give their cars an absolute caning under a controlled environment without the fear of causing any serious damage to themselves or others.

Secondly, special thanks must go to Snowy and Chris for planning such a great event! Thanks also to everyone who helped out on the day including all the marshals, Team BBQ (not Ash) and everyone else who took time out of their schedules to come up and assist in making the day run so smoothly.

Thirdly, thanks to Team NSW for making the long haul down to Vic to join in the fun! We hope you had a ball and enjoy the Sat festivities which is Taco Baz and anything which happened afterwards. Just remember kids, GPS doesn't know everything... Have a safe trip home!

I have to give personal thanks to Snowy for giving me the trademark "Snowy 2 min lesson in handbraking" as this helped immensely in making my day so much more enjoyable! I think I've almost got it right now and the understeering pig which is my car has transformed itself into an awesome machine! It's amazing how much a couple minutes of tuition from someone who knows what they're doing can do to make you a better driver!

All I need to do is make the car more responsive down low (without spending heaps of $$$ on a new turbo).

Aaron, good to see you made it home ok. 3 out of 5 forward gears is plenty

Can't wait to see some pics, vids and results!!

[tehsarah]

This was my first deca experience and i loved it!

Thanks to everyone who helped organise and thanks to Ferni and Russell for letting me jump in their cars.

Great day!

[foznice]

your all back so early? What happened to sleeping in on Sunday morning!!

[Snowman]

Big thanks to everyone that came and made the day so enjoyable for all. It was in my opinion one of the best DECA's we've had.

The new format worked great and meant we were never rushed for time but I don't think anyone feels they missed out with the missing practise run. The afternoon battle format was definitely great.

A big thanks of course go to everyone that helped out on the day. It really is appreciated that we have more and more of our regulars putting up their hands and helping out for parts of the day.

I must also thank everyone that looked after our special guests from NSW and the staff from Taco Bill's that came down during the day. I've said it before but it's the friendly accommodating nature that makes these days so great. The other thing that was really great yesterday was the number of people having drives in others cars. This is an experience I'm sure everyone who was involved in appreciates and it's just great that as a club we are so prepared and trusting to allow this kind of thing to happen.

I must say I was probably the biggest example of this yesterday and other than my WRX which I brought up I also had the pleasure of having a run in Jame's EVO, Leewah's GT-R, Fooboy's EVO, Scotsman's GT-R and Ryan's 180. And I had offers from plenty of other for drives in their cars too. So big thanks to everyone that either let me drive or offered their cars - it was great fun.

I can also tell you all on Friday I had the chance to test out some new designs for our August DECA in both full skidpan and battle runs and I think the next DECA may have the best events ever. So we can look forwards to that already.

Cheers

Snowy
