Why is it called Texikhana? Someone asked me that on the weekend and I couldn't answer him...

[GoldZilla]

Well, we got the idea from the SAU-Vic DECA days.

Part 1: everyone knows we commonly refer to the Victorians as "Mexicans," and we're North of them, as are Texas, California, New Mexico and Arizona in the States. Seeing as Texas is the most often related to when discussing sharing food, culture, etc. with Mexico, as well as the majority of the border in comparison to the other US states, it was easiest to use this as a reference to us in NSW.

Part 2: the event we hold is based on motorkhana-style runs on a skid-pan, with a hill-climb thrown in for good measure.

Add parts 1 and 2: Texas + Motorkhana = Texi-Khana.

[DRD-00F]

Ahhh... KNEW there was a reason

I just wasn't sure about the Texi part...

Yup long sleeve t-shirt and long pants.... not sure on helmets but you can buy a cheap one for $100... if your going to do a couple of track/drag days its prolly worth investing in one

[mesmerized]

i heard it's something like max 17 degrees down there, will trakky daks and a jumper be fine?

[msnismo]

^^ as long as its long sleeved and long legged... oh and I think cotton although not sure... all good.

Im sure Corinne or one of the other execs will confirm

[evil_weevil]

Oblivion - all good mate, those clothes will be fine

cheers for the link.

just rung them, they're no longer doing the sau discount though .

but they're having a sale on in may i.e. tomorrow.

i'll pay them a visit on saturday before i head off down to canberra

just gotta get my sk swaybars fitted by then and it'll be sweet

[evil_weevil]

ah spewing bout the helmet

Any tyre shop like tyrepower or such can do sway bars

Apparantly they aren't that hard to install

As a tip - Id have the front on hard and rear on medium

otherwise if you want some dorri action - front to soft or medium and rear to hard

[mesmerized]

cheers chris . been doing some reading and i think i'll start by going soft on the front, and medium on the rear and see how i like it

i'm getting heaps excited. my first motor sport event, and i haven't had my car for 3 months, picking it up tomorrow and it should have an extra 60-70rwkw with the 3076r

[MaTBoY]

Chris are you going to cheat with the semi's this time?

[evil_weevil]

FagBoy....umm..I mean Mattboy!! lol

nah dude, got no semi's for the 31!

and Im doing more an official role this time but I'll do a few demo runs for people!!

r31 will pwn....some cars at least lol

oblivion - ah nice set up mate!

yeah you'll do a few days and you can change settings with sway bars and you go from there!
