It is a day's driving at the DECA training centre in Shepparton. Courses are designed by exclusive highly talented individuals paid copius amounts of money, to test the ability of Vic Club Members. The group of 50ish cars are split in 2. 1 half do the skid pan in the first half of the morning and the other do the back tracks. They then rotate and by the time all are finished, the BBQ king is well under way for lunch.

Skid pan tracks are designed with witches hats that correspond with a set of maps given out at registration in the morning. Sometimes this is themed and has been accompanied by a themed CD (Top Gun and Starwars)

The morning sessions are 1 car at a time on any event with the afternoon congregating on the skid pan for battle sessions which are not eliminators (although have been on at least 1 I went to) but jus 2 cars up on identical witches hat courses.

Helmets are required for the back tracks but not for the skid pan and passengers can go in cars all day as long as they adhere to the same rules (helmet on the back track and sign a waiver).

Some people stay up on Friday and Saturday night which is a continuation of the day with dinner at Taco Bills, then the Yahoo Bar for drinks, followed by anything else.

One keyword for the whole weekend is............

FUN!!!!

TOP work self well explained

I won my 1st motorsport event in an EVO. :D

I feel so unclean!

I need my GT-R back to get rid of this feeling of uselessness. I've won and didn't do anything to deserve it other than drive an EVO. It just doesn't feel right!

I think in May Cougar and I need to make a concerted effort to right the wrongness of these last 2 DECA events. Can't have WRX's and EVO's winning them any more (even if I was driving one).

Thanks Chris, top work getting it done so quickly :D

As an example of how close, I hit one cone all day and the event that I hit it on (Mr Pinchy), the 5 second penalty I copped cost me over 25 points!

I felt quicker than the last DECA and thought I went better but the results speak the words and I didnt :laugh:

I enjoyed the day though and just have to try harder again for the next one. :)

Excellent work getting the times up so quickly!

Great work everyone - I'm very happy with 4th in class, 7th outright in my first outing in the evo! :D

I didn't think I was in with a top10 actually considering the quality of the field this time around! :laugh:

I think it's going to be a very exiting year! :)

Yeah it's a toss up between your nice rumble or Troy's screaming gate....

Hahaha true.. or the fact that his car was rarely pointing in the right direction. By the next one i'll have some decent tyres on. Continental Contact Sport 2's are rubbish (well on the M5 they are anyway)

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
