What a GREAT weekend.

BIG THANKS to all organizers and volunteers, for running such a smooth operation in testing temperatures.

As usual the events were awesome, with a bit of technical manovering thrown into the mix. Bring on 2007!!!!

I almost came out unscaved, till the final run, where the tyre caught the guard, de-lipped it and consequently shredded the tyre. The guard has already been repaired and the paint patched up :). Need to raise the front about 10mm :(

Anyone got pics of me 'riding the cactus' @ the Strip club?

na dude i think they deleted those pics, some chick came and cracked the shits at us taking photos and took them all and deleted the ones form the venue so prob safe to say they wont appear :(

Another DECA, another top day even if some of the courses were just a bit too technical for the barge! Last one for the white taxi too before it goes off to some poor unsuspecting new owner :)

Props to the volunteers on the day, was too hot to be sitting in the cars let alone standing in the sun.

Did my back earlier in the week so by the afternoon sessions I was in a bit of pain and just couldn't take it anymore so didn't do the final event.

Would seem that teh GTR can loose and vortex generators don't prevent massive understeer :(

I still think that it was that extra "special" shot that he went out the back to get, so that he could get his second Pancho Villa before we had even gotten our first.

indeed

The extra "spice" he ingested didnt bring out the best, only margarita :(

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
