The Official Deca Wrap Up Thread

[Count Grantleyish]

I was there but didn't see your name on the sheet so trying to match forum name with real name.

Here I am.

Femino's purple GTR had something go wrong with the engine so he drove my car for the rest of the day.

Hope the problem isn't serious.

Well after a very bumpy ride home I thought perhaps the vibrations were a little bit more than a flat spot in the tyre. So I went the mechanics, he took one look at them and pointed out spots on every single tyre where I'd worn them out beyond the indicator. Apparently they're so severe that I have to pretty much bin them.

So... anyone know some decent cheaper tyres than KU36's which I can run until I learn how to (and more importantly, when to) brake correctly?

[No Crust Racing]

Wow, no abs?

You must be braking hard and for a long time when they lock up, I locked mine a couple times here and there and didn't flat spot them =\

This is why I got second hand stuffed semis for learning.Maybe get some track rims and some second hand semis from Donnellans (spelling?) until you get the hang of braking control etc.

I got my learner semis for $250 for the whole set delivered from Melb to Albury.

Sooo.... who's gonna put their hands up to corrupt me in November? Lukes just told me he's working at Sandown so will have to miss DECA, but I'll be there - and its my birthday Shall make up for the not drinking this time lol

I didn't think I locked up for too long either, but like you were saying at the hotel. Big, heavy car = more wear and tear.

You're not going to get a half decent tyre for cheaper than KU's.

The back track at DECA is very abrasive if you lock up. I've flatspotted RE55's there, and Dean in the S14 flat spotted his RE's on Saturday too. You just need to ease it on a bit more there, and give yourself more time to stop.

Yeah that's where it happened, came around the sweeper (on the long wang) and braked too late going into the chicane. Worst part is I still hit the cone! I should've kept the power and on and just blasted through them, would've been cheaper and gotten me a better time

Maybe I'll take Dan's advice and get some half dead semis. Chuck them on the Advans and leave the stockies for daily driving.

Wrong...just learn a bit if finesse when it comes to braking...rough stabbing movements are always detrimental to good times...look at any good driver...its all about smooth movements...

And before this goes on...lets not turn this thread into another heel toe fiasco like the last deca thread...

Bring on more pics, vids and the results!!

[SABBAi]

Looks and sounds like it was a great weekend. I'm hoping to have the car together and drive it down for the November Deca. I've been hanging out to do Deca again for 2 year s or so now!!!
