Another awesome DECA!

Cheers to all organisers and volunteers, turned out to be a fantastic day and great weather too! Was good to meet some new people and see everyone giving it a good shot!

Ive got tonnes of video footage, what/wheres the quickest/easiest way to upload?

..and only 12 weeks till the next DECA, thats crazy!

Ive got tonnes of video footage, what/wheres the quickest/easiest way to upload?

use vimeo, way better quality than youtube.

http://www.vimeo.com

and if you are using a mini-dv camera, check out this tutorial on using free software called handbrake to compress them for uploading/vimeo/etc. quality comes out great.

pm me if you need a hand

haha so many people reading this thread and not much posting, me thinks that every one is just waiting for the vids,

i think there was HEAPS of vid footage this time compared to other times, thats why everyone's hanging out for it.

Well for a trip I really couldn't be arsed making it turned out to be an awesome weekend! Big thumbs up to the guys for making the trip down from NSW - you guys were great. Soooo many stories I could tell but as Al said what happened is Shep stays in Shep. Dee and I took lots of pics so I'll get them up tonight, there is sure to be some good one plus a video of the huge brawl at the Ausssie :) Big thanks to Stavros and Percival for the entertainment also!

Some of my highlights include -

The double tower of heart attack power burger that Adrian and I made for our lunches - Ash you're out of a job

The ride in Steve’s FAST GTR and drive in Al’s FAST GTSt – some seriously awesome cars

Funnels, funnels and more funnels

Sarah + Margarita= funny! :)

Honorary Brisby - my replacement drinking partner till the real Troy is back

“How good to I look after having a baby 5 weeks ago – pretty good huh” then being given a phone expecting to see a picture of her baby only to find her in skimpy underwear while being harassed by her mother – that was almost Wangaratta “mother/daughter threesome” the second!

Having to prevent a mother/daughter try to drag off a overly intoxicated nameless SAU member ;)

Dim Sims at 1am – mmmmm dims sims!

NOT going to the strippers and being served Scotch and Dry's with no Scotch! :)

yep, definetly hanging out waiting for vids and pics to be posted :)

well as per usual I'm slowly ripping and uploading video.

1.3 Gig uploaded so far, should be another 1.5 - 2 Gig to go

will link when they are done

the GoPro external cam seemed to work ok.

Footage was nice but sound was crap, need to work on the settings.

higher quality will be avalibe when rest of stuff uploaded but to give an idea:

HAHAHAHAH

DECA is great - thanks everyone for an awesome weekend.

LOL @

* Funnels on Friday night as soon as Adz arrived (before dinner)

* Antics around the pool

* Schmiko and all those black smirnoffs

* Gate!!!

* Shane not being able to hold a convo at dinner

* Walking into the Aussie Bar (just me, Dee and Kylie) and straight into the middle of an in-all-brawl

* Ryan pretending to be gay

* Sarah drinking 1/3 of a margharita and Adz finishing it

* The 2 old sleezeballs at Rawhide

* Eating food from Mobil at 3am coz someone thought it would be tastier than the hot dog van - im not sure how, but it was better

* Adrian on Sunday morning - "Why are my pants wet??"

awesome weekend - pretty much a perfect day for it. Definately a fan of the flying finish.

Thanks to everyone that made the day's events possible.

night time shenanigans lived up to the hype hehe - had a bit of everything :) oh and we had one of those hot dogs from the hot dog van (first dog off the rank too) and i reckon not much would have come close to it at that time of night!

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
