Saunsw Texikhana 26Th October

Why aren't these new insurance changes communicated in the first post?

[crashdown]

To confirm the changes,

I am quite concerned actually, as all I have been doing over the last two texi events were skids and linking corners. How strict will these rules apply to suppress ‘induced power sliding’?

Sliding the rear end of the car around the cones, is acceptable. If it turns into drifting or burnouts then it become not acceptable.

As Duncan said, the rules are just a clarification of a motorkhana event. Insurance has asked us to reinforce those rules.

The first post will be modified with the changes.

Yeah it's not that easy to follow all the cones and course at speed

Sometimes it gets abit out of control and you end up spinning and frustrated and smoke it up alil

If that's not on might have to cancel

How strict are you's on it

3 warnings and no more or just get told to take it easy

[Pezhead]

Smoking the tyres to get to the next gate quickly is fine. Smoke until you can't see your car, not ok.

We can only run these events while we are insured by AASA. We don't make these rules, they do.

If you are clearly breaking the rules we will give you a couple of warnings. If the clerk of course feels that you've been warned and continue they we can ask you to leave. It is all about us keeping our insurance rating so we can continue to hold these events.

I love how everyone freaks out.. yeah u cant turn it into a burnout comp oh well.. go pay and do it at the drags

its still the same event minus helis.

[Mikha1]

Thanks for clearing that up Aggroman.

[Strick.]

All paid up, looking forward to the day.

Fingers crossed, the motorsport gods have been angry and thus I have not had any car fun lately, if all goes well and the stars align I shall be there with bells on.

And its OK for the skids from this end as the MX5 cannot do epic helis.

[Pezhead]

Good on ya Mark. MX5's do well at Texi's. The short wheel base, light and decent power makes excellent skid pan quick ness.

[Daleo]

^^^What Eric says.

MX-5's do a fantastic job at this event; good car control and a level head is the way to win.

A texi is a technical car challenge, using your memory, an intimate understanding of your car's strengths and weaknesses. Any idiot can chuck a mad skid (see any episode of ACA for further details), only a talented DRIVER can master the texi.

No one is saying that you have to drive like Miss Daisy, but if we don't respect the rules of the event, all we'll have is stationary carpark events.

How hard will people whinge if that happens?

if I get my oil coolers in on time ill enter but also have to renew my cams licence

[Calsonic14U]

Might come down and help out since i missed the last one. And now soccer is finnished for the year.

[Pezhead]

If you are just renewing cams they get them out quickly. I did mine last week and got the new sticker this week. But don't wait too long, no current sticker to verify then we can't let your enter. Sux but that's dam insurance rules again.

[300CHONG]

[WAGON_BOY]

[Bodella]

Yes, you can renew/join on the day, please bring cash as we don't have eftpos

[Strick.]

Looking forward to Sunday.

Do we have any sup regs yet? Will the course just be decided and changed on the day?

Want to make sure my car isnt missing anything that you guys deem important as its my first event with the SAU

[RANDY]

Bum. With such an attractive car in the first post to really show the style and finesse of the event it's hard to say no, but alas i'm working the nightshift before and after the event =-/

Might be the first one in 2-3 years that I miss?
