Texikhana, "skids On Sunday" - $40 Entry

[N1GTR]

Hey guys,

Some AWESOME news!

Ive worked my magic with our insurance company, long story short the costs for this event have been reduced.

What does that mean for you?

The Texi entry fee has been changed, by more than HALF! Thats right, HALF!

The day now is $40 per driver

So you've got to ask yourself; How can you go wrong for $40???

Is your entry form in yet?.........If not - enter, NOW!

Form attached and general event thread is linked below

Cheers

-Steve

You know what's really pissing me off?

The fact I have no car...

[GoldZilla]

Borrow a car from your parents/sister/brother/best mate/girlfriend or whoever!!! This is the kind of event where you DON'T need to have heaps of power to get around the course quickly, as it's all about being able to maneouvre around the cones as efficiently as possible. But more than that, just get out there and HAVE SOME FUN!

Oh man, temptation to enter is so high now.

Who wants to see a VX Commonwhore wagon on shot suspension do texi?

If you arent book in then

DO IT!!

[evil_weevil]

Paid.

Now everyone should enter...I mean..you dont want a mazda to win...

[GTR-N1]

This is the kind of event that you'd bring along your vid-cam to!

If you don't have one, get a loan of one!

The footage alone is worth more than the 40 bucks!

Ever seen an advertising billboard goin' sideways across your front windscreen?

And if your handycam isn't fixed to your car, it'd be worth having a trusty SAUer (or shotgun) film you doin' it

[JAS-25T]

Extinguishers!!!!!!

answer me!

[evil_weevil]

Yes they are needed

[S13Deviat]

Extinguishers!!!!!!

answer me!

Needs to be installed and not loose..... some options are to use a pre existing bolt point, or remove passanger seat and use some mounting points from that...

[JAS-25T]

does it have to be bolted?

Like I can cable tie it yeah?

[S13Deviat]

Bolted = Yes

Cable Tied = I'll let an official organiser / scrutineer answer that.

Any motorsport i partake in, cable ties wouldnt suffice.

Come on Jase you've been around long enough to know

Must be secured, if the scruitineer gives it a shake and it moves you're not going to pass. Also the extinguisher has to easily accessible from the drivers seat, so if you "were" to do the cable ties you'll have to use a shitload of them and make sure none of them interfere with the extinguisher coming out in a hurry. In saying that though, I wont accept cable ties on the day and scruitineers will be told the same.

I know a car like your wont have a problem/need for the extinguisher, but insurance is a PITA and we have to do what they say

The best way to do it is like this (i dont want to drill in the supra so ive done this using the existing bolts);

[JAS-25T]

Yeah I do know, but I wanted to know the scruitineers/your opinion on how it should be attached......in non permanent ways as opposed to someone who wants to have it permanent or didnt mind making holes.

Thats the answer I was after.

I'll have a look into how hard that will be. because I really dont wanna be drilling holes and shit.

I'll give it a go.

[N1GTR]

Good stuff

Note in my setup there's no perm holes, the screws into the wood dont go through the wood to the carpet, once i dont need it i just undo the bolts on the seat rails, slide the brakets out then put the seat rail bolts back in - no one will ever know
