I had a ball being my first time at DECA.

Many thanks goes to the orgnisers and volunteers to make the day goes smoothly.

And special thanks goes to Bec for getting SAU hoodies for me, they makes me really warm!

No pictures from me as I was busy understeering a 302rwkw GTR - was fun, and I learned heaps about taming the 'beast'

Will defintely enter another DECA (next one is in November?).

Cheers

Grant

Thanks to all for organising, was a great day. Froze and lost feeling in my legs at one stage while out on the back track, but it was a great spot to be, only had to move a few cones back a couple of times, and I think I managed to get pics of most of the cars on either indian file or 80% of the back track, they are just uploading now. It was great that the rain held off too!

Pity about the turn out for tea, would have been nice to have let Bec know if you were only coming for drinks & were going to be late, but we had fun anyway. Gotta love those fish bowls!

See you all next time :) Can count me in for volunteering again.

Cheers,

Anna

P.S Ill post the link to my images when they are finished uploading. I have around 150 shots and they are taking forever and it keeps crashing.

Heres what I have taken, nothing real special as I wasnt in the mood for photography so I only took them on indian file & 80% runs and only got a few in the arvo.

Well once again had a great day giving the stagea a run around the wangs and the skid pan.No off on the 80% this time.My driving is getting better but my sense of direction is getting worse with 3 WD on the pan so there is no chance of seeing any stats where the hearse sits on the scores.

Hamish bad luck about the seat it did not like 6.4 100kgs bad way to go out..Grant waiting for the next one all ready (November)ha ha

Thanks to all the people that help out on the day micolour for the sponsorship bec ryan timers,starters,flaggies and cone removalists and the food van man.

Pretty good weekend!

Just got home with a MASSIVE THANKS TO SHANE for bringing me home on his way through, awesome.

Also HUGE THANKS TO LEON for lending me his car and trailer to take my broken GTR to a mates place in shep, fantastic.

THANKYOU RUSSELL for letting me drive your BEAST for the day, was awesome fun and a great car to drive...a nice change!

Thanks to all organisers for standing out in the freezing wind, making the day happen.

Was good to catch up and have some fun with everyone.

Awesome day, as always. I think I probably broke some PB on the wangs, but will probably get my worst overall score due to multiple WDs, and cones, but I had a blast doing it and learning the new LSD. Thanks again to all the organisers, volunteers and micolour. Sorry to the poor hat removalist girl who I sent running twice as I came spinning wildly into the gate.

Now I think I'll take a nap, Brad and I got up at 4am, stayed out till 4am and then drove back on a few hours sleep.

I had a great time at DECA as always

The skidpan turned out to be an interesting event with the wet patches

at least you gave her a warning beep we all had a good laugh at that..that puddle of water upset a few cars coming into the gate

Thanks for an awesome weekend guys... was great to come down and meet a few of you

Was a cold morning at whatever wang I was at :D but happy to help.... and the arvo was good watching the skid pan and going for a few runs

I have some pics on my FB if anyone wants a look: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=1959...mp;id=652446637

Great time as per usual, big thanks to Ryan, Bec and all the SAU Vic team and volunteers for making it possible :D

+1 on the Taco Baz comment, it seems quite a few people weren't stoked with the service. Must be time to try a new venue I'd say.

Here's a couple of the pics Kate snapped, we didn't get a heap as it was hard to get her out of the car and into the cold :)

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
