Deca Feb 12 Wrapup

[Borci88]

Quick question, I'm looking at coming to the next DECA coming up but I only have a Fox V3 helmet, would it be track legal?

does it have a Silver & Red sticker on it with AS1698 on it (or a Snell or equivalent sticker) and is it in good condition (no cracks)?

Want to thank every one that took me for a spin during the afternoon battles. Special mention goes to Ash and his GTR, my first time experiencincg a GTR launch and wow... And also to NutR33, what a mental ride. Such a fitting number plate, both you and that car are definitely nuts.

Another great weekend, thanks to all the organizers and the volunteers, really looking forward to round 2!

[JadGTST33]

Just wanted to say thanks to all that made the day possible.

Also a special thanks to Russ for the quicksteel and Luke for the assistance when I cracked my radiator.

A lil disapointed that I only got one run on the wang, but was great to be able to get out onto the skidpan in the arvo.

I'm aiming to get to all four DECA's for 2012... with a new radiator of course! haha

Marty... can you please message or post up any links if you come across any video of me on the skidpan?

It does indeed and has been hardly worn since I bought it

What an awesome day it was, pity about the heat but it didn't seem to affect too many cars.

Thanks to all that help make theses days happen, most importantly those like Wayne, Julies, Anna and all the other volunteers who stood out in the sun all day for our enjoyment.

My highlight for the day was drifting the hairpin on the mini Wang and then 150+km toasting the rear tyres on the long wang, stupid but fun at the same time as I think Femno who was in the car will agree.

If anyone has footage of my car feel free to post it on YouTube, just tag it as NUTR33, there is a bit of a collection starting there.

Cheers Luke

Yay! Nothing broke :D lol

Thanks again guys for another awesome DECA.

Looking forward to those videos Martin, thanks again for all the time and effort you put into taking them

[NUTWGN]

Woohoooo I AM ALIVE!

An awesome DECA, I must admit I was ready to call it quits by lunchtime and was feeling preety average (No- I didnt drink the night before!!) so the shade tent on the pan although it was trying to blow away was such a great idea. Thanks to all for their hard work in completing another round successfully Without the volunteers and organisers things like this wouldnt happen. Was a great change sitting around drinking/eating pizza and talking crap most of the night at the motel Saturday night too, quite enjoyable and allowed us to get to know a few of those who we didnt already know.

I wont be around for round 2 (booo!) but look forward to round 3!

P.S I am starting a "NUTR33 DECA tyre fund" any donations/sponsorships welcome :rofl2:

[JadGTST33]

Is there anywhere I can find results? Curious what my times were like.

I just made a youtube channel and added a few vids to it...

I managed to catch some of Leon's craziness too!

[ssxRicho]

Results will be posted in a spreadsheet in a couple of weeks once all the paper times are records electronically then processed through.

[R31Nismoid]

Thanks to everyone - fun day even with the heat!

Props to those who stood out there in the sun. I've done it before, and it's pretty full on.

Rear diff is 100% farked now. Single spinning all over the place, made skidpan stuff a bit of mission impossible...

Will have that fixed before the next one

[emts]

So seems work activated a nice new Internet connection...so I thought best to test it...

anyhow 14 gig in a morning makes me think it is now ok for the rest of work to use.

No worries, I just don't have anything that will play mts files, anything you can recommend ?

[emts]

I jsut use windows media player on windows 7

[htial]

MTS files are a kind of MPEG-2 file... ...Kinda the same compression that's used on DVDs... ...I use "Turbo.264 HD" on Mac to change them to MPEG-4 files...
