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

MaTe we're in the same boat, and there will prob be a cruise up and back on the day :P

If you want to make friends then stay up there. deca is good for meeting people but the whole weekend is way better.

Deca entries will open at 830am tommorow morning. there abouts.

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.

    • Hey guys I don't visit the forums anymore so not even sure how I found this thread but here it is, what a shock.  I'm so glad Neil and Mel got out of Sydney and had some relaxing fun time before this happened.  Neil is a great bloke and will be sadly missed. 
    • My OCD says that exhaust is sticking way to far out for a BMW.   Sorry for making you now upset with your exhaust again...
    • That is not true. The R32 GTR wiring diagram is freely available and has been for literally 25 years. And you don't even actually need it because the situation is so simple that you literally only have to use the wire that runs to the original dash indicator. Your car has a problem. That problem is unique to your car. I assure you that if I went out and did it to my car right now, it would work.
    • Thanks man, yes unfortunately normal bar went on after a minor accident. Smash repairer ordered the wrong version, needed my daily driver back asap so just accepted it.  Hoping an aero bar in gun metal grey (KH2?) pops up for sale soon, I know paint from different cars won't match perfectly but will look good enough
    • If it is the case that your stock dash high beam light lights up as it should, all you have to do is tap into the power wire for the high beams dash globe and feed it to pin 25 on the Haltech dash.
