I was going for the 'most original way around the skid pan' award but got upstaged by a reversing a31 :)

AHAHAH i really was having a shocker out there on the semis... but i was having fun most importantly... and yes the improvised reversing through the last few gates was a spur of the moment thing for a laugh!!! :laughing-smiley-014:

Great day and cant wait for the next one!

P.s. Waiting to see these times.... :sorcerer:

Big thanks to Adam, Corinne, Steve, Nick, Duncan, Kel, Nigel, Neil, Steve (doof), Shell, Georgie, Sh@un Ando and Chris and all the other volunteers who I have forgotton!

Thanks for all the help on the day, without you guys it would havent run as well!

Theres alot of room for improvement with running the day and this was a trial and error run, so we were pretty impressed, cant wait to use the big pan in the dry - the wet skidpan sucked on semi's.

I really enjoyed the back track

my 4 runs

1.49

1.43

1.42

1.40.??

anyone can steer an AWD car on a wet pan but the back track is where its at! :)

Big thanks again to everyone who supported and entered.

:action-smiley-069:

Haha Yup I drove to work through the city this morning with love hearts on my damm window no wonder I was getting weird looks. I totally forgot about them :)

I hope no one washed them off either otherwise I will be very angry and come stalk you and cover your windows in them. >.<

Well - what a great day!

My first time on a wet skid pan and I think I can safely claim the 'queen of understeer' title!!! :action-smiley-069:

Had lots of fun - huge thanks to the organisers and volunteers, awesome job guys! :)

Was great to meet some of the ACT guys too - you guys rock! :D Look forward to seeing you at future events!

Bring on the next Texi!!! w00t!

EDIT: shirts were awesome too! totally stoked to get one that actually FITS lil ol me!!! lol!

Big thanks to all the people who helped organise the day both beforehand and during. Big thanks also to those kind people who came along to help out doing things in such ways as bbqing and especially the people out on the back track. That's a big effort and well appreciated. You guys will have priority entry to the next event.

Thanks LOTS to everyonr involved in making Sunday happen, had a GREAT day.

The back track was AWESOME, it reminds me of some of the "mountain" runs around the out skirts of the ACT... I managed a 1:43.8 in my R32 GTsT on street tyres which puts me up with most of the people using semi-slicks, so Im stoked. :yucky:

The skid pan wasnt really a rush though cos Ive been on it about two dozen times before, but it was still good to watch others and have a laugh :) even though I didnt do very well myself.

Im glad that it was held out at Sutton, its only a 15 minute drive for me and I still had time to wash my car afterwards, sometimes its good to be a Canberran :(

Thanks again to all involved in organising the event and all who came along.

P.S. Im only fast on street tyres cos they're Federal's...... Buy Federal :)

Mick, love that photo of the 200zr... wish it still only that dirty today... !

You can see the SAU stickers Smoky popped on the front wheels too! :happy:

Has anyone got some on the skidpan????? I didn't take a single photo all day :(

my incar footage is pretty good but pretty big to upload!

and that was my 1.42 run - didnt have memory for 1.40 :P

Yeah watched my incar vids from the runs and it was awesome! Just had an issue with the camera 'freeze framing' due to waaayyyy too much shuddering from the axle skipping at launch!! :)

    • Do you think the guys in Penrith are install the E85 Kit?
    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
