Yes.... definitely....

What do you people have against a spanner? This seems to be an "amazing" solution to a job that only takes 30 seconds to do in the first place? What is this lazy world coming too...

If you wanna run this day as a birthday I really hope you are loaded and you plan on paying for everyone! I'm in to racing my car more than any thing else in the world, but theres no way i'd be handing over 600 bucks of my hard earned for a day like this... and i certainly wouldn't pay 600 bucks to go to a mates birthday, even if it was racing at the island. Just hire out a house at the island for the weekend, do a normal track day and then get really drunk afterwards Problem sloved... I'm really intriuged by the sudden influx of people jumping on here thinking they can just organise a track day. Its way more expensive and way harder to run/organise than you think. I know you think you understand what it takes to run a day like this, but listen to what people are saying... you don't! but yeah, good on you i spose for giving it ago...

Whats going on here!?

Can you be more specific? You can't drive in reverse for example..

Forgive my ignorance perhaps, but just becuase your laps are being timed doesn't have to put you under pressure... The only thing that would cause anyone at a track day to feel pressured into doing fast times is themselves... If people don't think they can control themself and keep their driving within their own limits, then they probably don't belong behind the wheel of a car, let alone flogging their car on a racetrack. And also like to point out that there is no jostling for postion at a track day, dangerous overtaking manoeuvre's are not allowed and you can only pass cars on the straights. I would imagine that in any case, if you want to drive your car on a track, you will be pushing it hard. if you just want a FUN leisurely drive, just go for a cruise through the hills... If you want to enjoy pushing your car to the limits come to a track day, if the fact that it is timed bothers you, just don't look at the results!! I have been to several winton fun days, I just felt like I was on my normal drive home from work on the freeway! Traffic Everywhere! If anything its much more dangerous as you are mixing people who are traveling at vastly different speeds together on a track. At least on a track day you are grouped with people who should be traveling around at the same speed as you. It is a much more controlled environment. Just some things to think about.

He thinks that you don't need any skill to do a quick time at sandown... just power.. And now he has power and still can't do a quick time, hahaha...

Hey guys Glad that everyone enjoyed the day after the mornings problems. Even though it was a late start it was still better to get everyone out there late than not at all... Any ways here a few of my pics There's a heap more here too http://picasaweb.google.com/mathew.cross/S...feat=directlink Wonder who appeared out of this smoke cloud? Maybe it was the Drag Day Mafia Cheers Crossy

Where are the vids???

Did you get confused about how to get out of this thread Birds?

I noticed this as well.. Considering the engine in my car when it came out, had 75kw @ the flywheel, 26 years later I'm tipping its making a lot less. With drive train losses I'm putting it at about 30-40rwkw at the moment! My long wang runs couldn't have been any faster, i was driving the pants off it, and yet I'm way down the field. also that first battle was very high-power friendly!! But hey... there is many more-powerful cars below me so I am happy.... Sucks to be you guys ;)

This one looks like I'm running away from being chopped up by that massive wing. It was a great day, although a little chilly! I'm just so wrapped that the new and not-so-improved corona managed to put up with two days of MY abuse, without even hinting of a problem.. All with a motor that cost me $56 off EBay (Those that know me and my luck with cars will know how amazing this is) Thanks to all the volunteers that helped out on the day, we can't do these without you! and thanks to all of you for coming along and having some fun in your cars! Cheers MaT

Keep in mind you don't need to be on the back track to roll your car... Just ask Dave!!

you did too sorry, had forget about that... I've put you on the skidpan in the Arvo for now, we might be able to come up with something else to do. Will just need to chat to the others. Cheers

Come on people let us know if you have mates or partners comming along. We need these spots filled otherwise the day can't go ahead... If we haven't got people on the day to do these jobs, we will be sending everyone home and the event will be canceled. (Without refunds) So if you are driving make sure you get some friends to come along and help out!

DECA is on again As always, the event wont go ahead unless we get enough people to help out on the day. So we are calling for your assistance - if your willing to help, or if your bringing a friend/missus who's willing to help - please speak up. We can explain what you need to do if you haven't done it before, so don't stress about that. It is VERY easy stuff! and you will get a great view of the action!! All officials will be given a free lunch and water during the day. We also need all officials to be at DECA by 8.00am on Saturday morning - same time as competitors. I suggest you bring a chair, sunscreen, hat etc Morning Long Wang (5 needed if possible) Starter - Bec Finisher/Timer (2) - Flaggy 1 - Anna Flaggy 2 - Mini Wang (3 needed if possible) Starter - Daniel Finisher/Timer (2) - Skidpan Timer/Time Recorder - Tim Starter/Hat Removalist - Campbell Afternoon Skidpan Timer 1 - Timer 2 - Time Recorder - Anna Hat Removalist - Grant Hat Removalist - See you all there!!!!

OK Ladies! Results are HERE Great work from Russman taking out the win overall! Also notable mentions for the little Lancer and MX5 getting right up there against the "big boys" Other than that good work by all. I Had a great day even though it was bloody hot standing out there on the long wang. I will say though, its very interesting to see the difference between the fast and the slower times in the way people are comming into those stop gates. I was on the long wang but I imagine that it goes for all the other gates during the day. On that long wang finish, some of you guys could have knocked off sometimes up to 5 seconds I reckon if you just attacked the finish gate a little harder!! In most cases that would have moved you up from mid-low field right up within in a couple of seconds or so of the front runners. Somthing to keep in mind for next time Also thanks to Tim, Shane, Mark & Russ for rides during the battles!! Enjoy!

whoo hoo.. pass the popcorn What a show :ninja:

Unfortunatly I am out for this one... couple of the other guys will be taking over the Scruitineering. I really must stress Ryans 4th point there... This is the worst prepared item by the majority of entrants at every DECA... If you are going to enter... please check you fire extinguisher is BOLTED FIRMLY to your car.... If you are not sure... mount it in and then grab it and shake it vigirously... if it doesn't move it all you have done a good job. Just imagine to if you are in some sort of accident and your flimsy bracket or cable ties let go.... helmet or not... a fire extinguisher is gonna leave a big hole through your head! Apart from the obvious persoanl ramifications - i.e. death.... We simply just can't be bothered with the paper work, and DECA management don't appreciate blood on their skid pan... (Its a pain to clean off) /rant.... Hope you all have a great time... and hope to be back out there soon... (with an extra 2 cylinders )

This is gonna be sick... Can't wait to bust out the suit!! Look out for these guys... they are nothing but trouble... (and keep the red wine away from the guy on the right)

I was proably under the impression you had R-comp tyres on i think... I will fix it up tonight... People who were given points for DNS are people who attended the track day, but due to whateva reason (car problems etc) they were only able to complete the practice session, and not an official timed session. Apologies on any confusion, getting the rules written up and on the forum is one of those things I haven't had time to sit down and do.. (Well or i've just forgotten about it untill someone asked ) Will try and get on to it...

Hey all just to let you know I have updated the championship results.. It's close at the top in a few classes so make sure you come along and defend your honour!! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4840438 Enjoy!

Apologies all, Due to a combination of things it has taken some time to update the motorsport table. (mainly me being a bit slack ) But here it is!!! Its nice a close in a few classes so make sure you get down to Winton for the last round and get yourself on top of the table Enjoy Any questions let me know...

As the reigning wet weather champion I am hoping for some rain.
