Everyone is welcome (as always) to come along. The screen is huge and the meals are good.

Unfortunately due to LOTS of reasons we can't this event together so we'll be showing all the footage at the next club night - Tuesday 19th July.

No they are 4 pots.

It's ok Geoff - I ran in 5 head to head battles. 3 against Blaise, one against Chris and one against Eddie (in the other White R33 GTR) and only won one. Beaten by Blaise on all 3 occassions. So I guess it's not that supprising I pushed him onto the road in a shopping trolley later that night.

Or is that Shiv? Or someone else? Too hard to tell. But I remember you got beaten! lol

The bottom link mate. This is where you get beaten by those cars you have bagged since they came out. LOL

I have a set of front R34 GT-R Brembo's off my car with 2 Peice DBA 5000 slotted rotors (324mm). Both Bremobo's and 2 Peice hats are gold in color. $2,200.

We will do this year - we have our very own "groupies" following us and will take good footage of the whole event. And not just of the SAU boys but of as much as possible. The links above were from our day at DECA on the weekend and we have about 3hrs of footage from there. We should have tripple that from Dutton! lol

And Short Wang was named after Chris.

Because we were in Shep - didn't you see the bling in Shep? Neon sales are sky rocketing. Its Chaps all over again. So it was an honary title given our location.

was called that because it was based upon the pattern of the one done at Essondon airport carpark in the Dutton Rally.

Brisby the one of you is ace. And the one with Mini Wog doing whats been labled Motokhana 4. (White XR6T)

Ok - a couple of different views of what "should" be event 7 and 10 Me: http://www.adept-connections.com/videos/DE...lueR34GTR_1.wmv Blaise http://www.adept-connections.com/videos/DE...aiseSTiRA_5.wmv And this is the layout of what was at Essondon last year and I expect to be so again (26&27). Its going to look a lot different but thats basically the shape of the event. Blaise http://www.adept-connections.com/videos/DE...aiseSTiRA_4.wmv

There are officially too many pictures on these forums of me drunk.

Dutton footage is traditionally crap. You'd think that maybe they would say show the fastest runs on each of the events or at least show a COUPLE of full runs of events so people can see what it's all about. But no they like to just show 3s clips of cars moving doing possibly ANYTHING. The only people who know exactly what was happening is the person in the car. But general viewers have no idea. Anyways.... As for a wet event - obviously it's Winter so it is possible. However Shepparton is not a wet area and it's usually dry. HOWEVER - its damn damn damn cold. It was 2deg when we started on Saturday. I think in one way this does benifit cars 1-39 because they start the Friday at Shep airport which as Simmo can attest to has lose stones everywhere and never has any grip. At DECA the skidpan is like polished concrete and we definitely found there was more grip as the day warmed up than when it was first thing in the morning. If it is wet then the skidpan will be tough. We wet it for some fun at the end of the day and there was NO grip. My car would spin at the slightest of movement. One guy even said he was trying to drive straight and the car spun on him still. But thats only 1 (well technically 2) events. I don't see too many others being that effected by rain. Winton is ok as a track in the wet and as mentioned things like Shep airport, and the other events at DECA have a lot of lose stones so they dont become that different in wet. We had a breif shower last year when we were at the airport and I don't think there was any noticable difference in times. But either way it will be fun. And Russ - I will see if I can post up some footage we took on the weekend from the DECA skidpan doing the event that was run in 04 so you get an idea of the layout. Also we did a 2nd one which was a copy of the pattern done on the last day at Essondon.

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.

Ok - NOW I'm pumped. Ran at DECA on the weekend. Did a lot of skidpan practise and the car is feeling great. Set-up the motokhana the same as for Dutton 04 (Event 07 and 10) Best times on the weekend for all the 05 Dutton Boys competing (we had 3 runs each at it) Me - 40.1 Chris (My co-driver) - 39.6 Blaise (STi RA) - 40.8 Tony (GTR) - 45.7 Eddie (GTR) - 42.3 Best time from Dutton 04 - 42.1 (That pesky EVO 3) Can't be sure obviously that everything was 100% the same but feeling good right now that we will have a decent package. Just stocking up now with some Porsche and EVO stickers with big crosses on them so we can put them on the car for every "kill" during the event.

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.

Since there's been such a huge request for another event I just thought I'd check what events people enjoyed the most on the day so if we run another one we know what people liked most and can set it up accordingly.

Where motokhana events were run more than twice only the best 2 times were taken.

The people doing the timing were being "un-helpfull" as far as putting times down next to the right numbers (taking into account some numbers were missing due to withdrawals) So there has been some confusion around numbers 36-40. Especially didnt help when the cars in these numbers didnt run in all the events. The lastest results are as accurate as I can make them. (There was a different one up for about 5 mins)

Sorry - I worked it out. Been updated and fixed. And sorry Eric the Golf didn't come third.

Then who was in the SKY180 and who was in the J Spec thingy?
