Dutton Rally This Weekend 21st -23rd Nov

Thanks BB The trick is not to go the wrong way or hit any cones..which sound easy

I get into a bit of a tizz when in the car and have learnt that what looks smooth and slow on the track is in actual fact deceptionally fast! All the guys that where relaxed and doing smooth runs where doing awesome times..So I will have a crack at that next time.

For my first go at a dutton I think I did alright..Most of us Rookies where getting so nervous and where walking the motorkhana events just so it was imprinted into our brain. I think the whole "you only get 2 goes at it" and the penaltys for hitting a cone (5 seconds) or going wrong direction (worst score plus 10seconds) was a bit of pressure. But I had fun and thats the main thing I am glad I tried it and now that I have one under my belt more confident of what to expect at my next one. Plus the people are really encouraging and helpful and friendly..

The hard motorkhana layouts.

Plus the tool awards where classic some of the vetrans of Duttons where doing the most silly things on and off the track..Like missing pit lane exit so handraking in the middle of the track and reversing up the straight of Oran Park to go the right way

Well I went Wrong Direction and Hit a Cone so

WD = Worst score plus 10points

Cone = 5 points

Stopping on the track on my run to get cone out from under my car = priceless

So I got 1:42 seconds on a course that should take you 35seconds

hey great work Jess!

its more a fun event than super serious motorsport, so as long as you have a great time (30 events in 3 days sounds good to me) you have done well. the people who treat it like bathurst 1000 have the wrong attitude I reckon.

well done!
