Snowman Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Guys, Just wanting a bit of feedback regarding the events held at DECA on the weekend. Due to the overwhelming response to run another event and whilst it's still fresh in everyone's mind we'd just like to know what you enjoyed most on the day so any future events can be planned accordingly. Can vote for more than one option. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/78495-deca-questionaire/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Even though I liked the lot, I was not the biggest fan of trying to change from forward to reverse (and back). It seems to me like that could brake the gearbox easily if you get too exuberant with it. I'm much prefer to have all the 'khanas completed in the forward gears.

GTRgeoff Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 I liked it all particularly chaps laps, except the last session which was pointless and had no specific motorsport value. I'd rather give the volunteers a shot at the courses again rather than waste time like that. They deserve it.

Scotsman Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 :werd: getting into reverse in the 6speed s15 is a pain - takes some of the fun out lets just do it in forward gears It just adds another level. This event was practice for a similar event that will be in dutton, so I wanted to practice my reverse J turn. Promise we will never have more than one of these, but it did have some underlying value for the four of us who are competeing in Dutton this year. All in all thou. I loved all the events.

Belsil80 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 i agree, reverse does add another level. crunched a few gears tho... chaps and essendon were both great because they were so different.. witht the sweeping last turn of essenden i think all the rwd boys had a ball.... one big drift; where as chaps was a bit more technical. i think the last free session would have been better with the whole pan rather the divider but i totally understand the idea of splitting it so we had more time on.

Snowman Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 For what it's worth I actually for the one with the reverse my favortie one of the day. Basically 4 handbrake turns, a reverse flick and lots of getting the power down with a huge stop - all whilst racing someone else. I thought it was tops. I actually found the stop - go the hardest part on the car but we had to have that from CAMS restrictions. Anyways - thanks for the feedback. It seems a pretty even spread of enjoyment which means people enjoyed the whole day.

Jamezilla Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 For spectating - Event 3 with the reverse was the best. Having the 2-cars on at once was fantastic. Added another level of enjoyment to it.

Bass Junky Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Do you think I liked the reversing Hoffman manouver??? I loved the Motorkhana! It was simply the most fun I think I've ever had.

It seems to me like that could brake the gearbox easily if you get too exuberant with it.I'm much prefer to have all the 'khanas completed in the forward gears. Which is why you want to hand brake 180 into the box, and come out in first gear =p Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/78495-deca-questionaire/#findComment-1434061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nakedterror Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 loved every single aspect, only thing I'd change is more shots at the short wang course and less time arsing about at the end Keep the reversing maneuvres, even add more in - it's just another facet to car handling and that's what motorkhanas are all about!
