Import Monster Sau-Vic Deca - Round 3 2011 Wrap Up Thread

[mark33gtst]

Fantastic weather and fantastic day bar a few negative moments...volunteers should really be clearer on the rules...hope everyone had fun and hope those with mechanical issues can get them sorted soon...

I guess I should be happy with a 3rd in rwd....

If your not having fun at DECA don't go.

If having a sook about volunteers and having a cry about coming third is what your into, no one will miss you anyway...

I know its tough being a volunteer and even tougher being an organizer...i know because i've run a deca day before and will be running another one very soon...being at the pointy end of the field this year makes it a little more important to me...you don't know the details of my day so i won't expect you to understand and won't take your comments to heart too...

Ultimately I appreciate the fact that these days are still happening and will continue to support SAU VIC in their events...this is the only level of motorsport i take part in at the moment so don't fault me for being passionate about it....

We're not talking high level motorsport here man...

We are only using manual timing so there's nearly 1/4 - 1/2 a second just in a button press. You don't see people 'at the pointy end' complaining about 0.5 sec inaccuracies.

sometimes 0.5 is all that seperates the top 5 or 10 times and a few of them could add up to 31 points

Anyway. I love the competitive side of it so don't think I'm playing down the 'competition' of it all, it makes it more fun. Ryan and I have been dualing at decas for a long time in similar (well used to be similar) cars and to be honest that is where the real fun is. I've had incorrect times in the past but it's only club level motorsport with volunteers standing out in the sun for us! Get over it. Don't even mention it.

Agreed Russ...its entry level motorsport and meant to be fun...but those 31 points could end up really handy right? lol...i know i could use about 20 or so points...

For the record I was contesting a questionable penalty in the region of 5 secs but the event is long over and theres nothing that can be done about it now...the organizers have tried to address it and thats all I can ask for...

The last round should be interesting....

Just wait till I'm volunteering! I'll knock a second off per drink you buy me, 5 for a fishbowl!

You should probably consider yourself lucky then I didn't penalize you for not stopping in the gate properly in one of the battles...

Thanks bud...

I just go to burn rubber

[Count Grantleyish]

I just go to burn rubber

You weren't burning enough rubber.

Just saying.

[NutR33]

I just go to burn rubber

I like the way you think Al

[achoo]

I just go to burn rubber

I go there to burn your rubber... and the odd delam

[SS8_Gohan]

Thanks guys!

I thought his was slightly darker than that one-must just be the pic

haha, Steve, that's my car

Those pics do make it a bit lighter than it is i think, this is probably more accurate

And John, didn't even realise i was talking to you the whole time!! haahah, nice to finally meet you. Been watching all your track vids and what not.

Thanks for those that took pics and videos. Ryan and Russell, driving skills are just fantastic to watch, especially your battles on the pan. The sil80 was just smooooth and the 32 was just banshee style... loved it!

Supra, impressive driving. Mark, in the 944, very impressive. Lots of great drivers and the RS5 was silly quick and nimble for such a big car!

Tip for those re: tyre pressures on the skid-pan... don't run 40+ psi like i did... - i dropped to about 37'ish i think for the arvo events, and it was much better. Probably the only one silly enough to go that high -
