So if I turn up in my NA Supra with absolutely zero advanced driving experience I'm not gonna be laughed off the track for putting slowly around as I learn the car, track and... hell, anything to do with racing?

I've been wanting to get into this sort of thing for a while, but never knew where to start. This looks like a pretty good place.

Are there any limits on the number of people who can come? I'm sure I can convince my mate to bring his Evo.

you can drive as fast or as slow as you want, its not about racing but more about having fun.

its less dangerous then a track as the speeds are smaller and you can prety much go as hard as you want on the skidpan as the speeds are quiet low

there is only 50 reserved spaces available so you have to be quick as i have a feeling this one will fill up quick

Is there any opportunity to come up, watch, and stay the night?

I really don't feel confident in my driving ability at all, and would at least like to do an defensive driving course or something before attempting a proper event. I'd feel like I was wasting a valuable spot.

Maybe after I've done something like this?

Anyone had any experience with this sort of thing?

dont be weak, just go for it. You will regret it once you are up there watching it.

This event is nothing but a massive bit of concrete with witches hats around. Try your best to follow the course around the cones, if you stuff up no one cares as every rwd car usually ends up spinning out and thats half the fun.

From my experience, the people who took the course slower ended with higher placement cause they dont end up wiping out all the cones :P

Re; driverdynamics skidpan

Ive done it before, two different scenario's as the driverdynamics one is covered in water/oil. You wont be holding any big slides anyway in the motorkhana courses.

fair enough Ryan, you will still have a blast.

Kieran, i can guarantee 100% that if you drive up and do not enter you will regret it. there are plenty of people who have done that before and everyone says they wish they just entered. If you are that unsure of your driving ability come and speak to me or some of the guys who have done plenty of this stuff. besides logic there are a few key things you can do to be well on your way to improving your driving ability.

Driving at Deca is about learning you car and improving your skills. there is absoloutly no pressure to push your car or yourself to the limits.

Alright, I'm doing it. Just signed up to the club, payment pending of course, I'll sort the deposit out tomorrow.

The whole weekend just looks like fun to honest, not just the driving. I don't have many friends who are car enthusiasts so it'll be cool to hang with people who actually want to talk about cars.

just a question, is there a viewing area for spectators in every little event??

Yeah you can watch nearly every event. The best viewing is on the skid pan where most of the day is held.

      George's R33 GTST build

      By pogman · Posted

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
