Aug Deca - Wrap Up

[Birds]

Also want to shout out a special thanks to the person who did the 3-2-1 count down during the untimed battles (3:30pm-4:30pm)

As everyone else was packing up you were still out there till the very end for the select few who didnt want to get off the skidpan haha

This was simply the best part of the day for me...constantly queuing up to take on anyone and everyone! It was only then that I started performing properly on the skidpan. Then when I saw the last guy (the trailer driven R32) not trying I said bugger it and joined him in skidpan stunts lol. Feels good to let loose in a safe and legal environment!

Fantastic work organisers, sponsors and volunteers...I'm certain the November spots will fill up very fast.

Big thanks to everyone for their help running the day. it ran very smoothly and Ryan good work mate..

It was tops to get out in the car again and have some fun... i Hadn't driven the car in almost 12 months so was a shock to the system...

[TTCorona]

Great to hear that everyone had a good time, thats what these days are all about...

It has been said alot but it is definatly deserved, Thanks to the volunteers that helped us out..

Special thanks to Tim and Campbell on the skid pan ALL DAY.. I don't know how you had a voice at the end of the day after yelling 3-2-1-GO

On a personal note, It was great to get back out and give the Corona a hard time...

I am really happy with how it is going, all my small changes to the front suspension as well as being back up to a lazy 212rwkw's has made it a really fun car....

I had a absolute ball in it... Love the limiter!!!

Unfortunately I was knocked out in the arvo after my tailshaft buggered up, which also meant i couldn't drive it home

So sunday afternoon was spent getting a lift home from Shep, getting my Patrol and heading back up to Shep with trailer in tow. Loaded the car up and got back to Melb around 9pm..

7.5 hours of driving in one day FTL... especially if it doens't really take you anywhere....

Look forward to seeing everyone up at the next one in November....

Oh yeah.. GET THOSE PICS AND VIDS UP!!!!!!

[TTCorona]

oh yeah... This was the Corona's effort, after I spun out....

Skids for the win!!!

Bigbird is putting together photos for the meeting tonight. hopefully we can get the damn thing to play...

As for the day itself what did people prefer for the morning layout? obviously you need to have done more than 1 deca to comment It wont be too long until we are organising the next deca so we need to decide what to do... there seems to be good reports coming in about the new layout but would you prefer to do it the old way or new way next time??? Also, how did people find the maps? easy? hard?

[No Crust Racing]

I didn't drive the last one but I was a passenger all day and drove for this one and I think the layout was good plus we ended up with heaps of time at the end of the day for battles and that was after the incidents of the morning session.

My only suggestion would be more Long Wang time if possible but I might be alone on that one as everyone else seemed to love the skidpan battles.

As for the maps, I think the amount of people who got 'lost' would imply that the maps might have been a touch complicated, but I had no issues with them personally. However, I'm also training up Kate as my navigator so she did a great job keeping me headed in the right direction which helps a lot.

[Belsil80]

if we did the same layout again we would do 3 runs instead of 2 which means there would be a little less battle time.

[No Crust Racing]

I'd love 3 runs on the back track for sure but I'm all for democracy so whatever the majority of people want is fine with me.

[phunky_monkey]

As I've said, I liked the new layout Ryan and with 3 runs it would be even better. It had a really good flow to it and you stayed in the car for a while before a rest on the back track. Thumbs up from me

As for the difficulty of the maps, I thought they were about right considering there was no practice run. You're always going to get a lot of wrong directions out there regardless and I thought they were probably a bit easier to learn than some past ones.

[achoo]

I would like more time out there as well! But whatever... with the new layout, we get more time somewhere and it don't really matter where as long as it's somewhere!

Now if I've done this right everyone should be able to see these pics regardless of if you are on Facebook.

Yeah it worked mate, just went on a mass tagging spree. I honestly don't remember half those photos from the Taco joint.

[No Crust Racing]

To be fair you do look a little 'refreshed' in some of those pics...

Those bloody fishbowls were more potent than they tasted! Although my last mouthful was 90% soggy popcorn, which quickly sent me running for the toilet.

You never do

[Russman]

New format rocked!

3 runs at the morning stuff FTW! 3 times at Long wang would be awesome.

Knock out was fun. Maybe 2 lots of knock out coz it doesn't take that long. Maybe 1 of each of the battles.

Maps were on par with any other deca I've been to.

[evade]

Woah the place looks green..

Really? Oh man. I have absolutely no memory of that. I reckon I must have an NA liver too, should stop trying to keep up with you turbo guys.
