Just a note on the results.

Firstly the times from Blaise's Bunny aren't counting towards to outright competiton due to the large number of people that missed out setting a time.

Also due to an error in the way half of the 1st set of times were recorded in the Long Wang we only have used the times from peoples 2nd and 3rd runs for this event.

Hopefully otherwise we dont have too many concerns about times given this time around.

Cheers - and congrats to Scotsman and David M on their class victories.

I am chuffed with my times! :D

Out of the box liberty with 2 mods. An SAU group buy window tint and my private plates :(

How come Ryan isnt down as the winner of the 2wd slalom yet won it 3 times? :(

we were under the impression that only two of the timed runs from each course would count and not all 3. but bleh, you get that. still had awesome fun.

Im fairly happy with my times & surprised at some of the people i beat. I was worried i'd end up behind Scott after seeing some of the times he was doing.

Jarrod, is that 39.6 on the first motorkhana the one when i was in the passenger seat? i think i know how you got such a good time.

Andrew, if you make any modifications to the results could you change my car to R32 instead of R33.

because all three times i touched the same cone, bit dissapointing but ah well. it was so much fun, i like the slalom with the triangle up the top, makes it a bit harder for the big HP cars and gives the slower cars a chance to get up there.

I thought if it wasnt moved it didnt count.

Ah well, with more DECA's next year you are bound to get on top at one. :)

he did take out the fastest time on the Short Wang in 2WD comp which is a mighty fine performance given it is a bit of a HP track.

But he probably was one of the few guys who didnt come off a little over that hill. I did some video footage there for a bit and it seemed most guys didn't quite have the wang to keep the foot fully down over the hill.

quick question... on the long wang... if hypothetically I don't go through the chicane, but instead plough through a (single) cone, does that count as a 5 second penalty only?

depends on which single cone we are talking about.

If it was the one on say the very edge of the road (A) or (F) it would be 5s for the cone being hit + 10s for the 2 other cones you went on the wrong side of.

(A)___(B)___( C)

.....................(D)___(E)___(F)

If it was just the 1 cone in the middle ( C) or (D) then yes its just 5s.

Does that make sense?

Well thats how it should "technically" be.

It also means if you went "off road" and went around all the cones then you'd have missed 3 cones which = DNF.

Sorry Jarrod didnt mean to drive that slow on the long wang kinda didnt know where i was going :) so went a lil slower... althought the short wang was alright kept similar times to yourself... and again well done to all that won events :D...

makes good sense, cheers. The way I was thinking, line up cone C, go over it, take a 5 sec penalty and not reduce your speed in the chicane.

Technically as long as you clock the whole course in 39 seconds at top speed (as you won't be slowing down for chicanes), if you take a 15 point hit in penalties for knocking 3 cones, you could have equalised with Chris for top time :)

if you lost 5s per chicane then its a good plan but there's no way that you should slow down that much to go through those chicanes that you'd gain 5s by hammering through!

LOL, unless your car doesn't like changing direction rapidly :D

    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
