I completely understand the reasoning for the implementation of the gymhana style event, and completely agree with it. I think it's a great idea to try to even the playing field :)

The RTDC guys ran the event extremely well and there are no complaints from me. As mentioned on the day, there were twice as many runs on the day compared to the Toyota Nationals motorkhana that is run locally.

It's great that you are checking in to the timing, who knows, maybe Eric did have an appauling run which put me in front of him on the board :P , but in the event that there has been a mix up, would be great to see the SAU team in front of the Evo's hehe ^_^

I had to LOL at the fastest HSV club driver being a female in a Ford Focus :D

I get LOL that it's a focus but why does the fact she's female have anything to do with it. No different to anyone else with 2 arms and 2 legs when it comes to getting in a car.

For me it makes no difference, I know a few girls that could easy out drive most of the guys I know ( me included ), but how do the big V8 men feel about been beating by a girl in a 4 banger Ford Focus, especially given she entered through the HSV club :)

Well it was the smartest move they made, cause the other boats didn't stand a chance! :D

We should have entered a field of Micras, pulsars and the Leaf :P

No complaints about the event here either, it was run fantastically, and even though I got the feeling that it was a bit like a duck on water (calm on the surface, crazy as shit under the surface), RTDC held it all together and made it happen.

Don't confuse being challenged with having a whinge! Was it challengingly tight compared to the size of our texis? Yes. But who doesn't like a challenge in Motorsport!

its harder for men to drive due to the dick and balls getting in the way

especially when rocking a 6 point harness....

I agree. I think it's great to have tight texi courses like this in one of the rounds. I mean surely the idea of the nationals is to see how the best drivers are, not just who had the most HP.

The thing I also liked about our lads efforts was that sure the track didn't suit us but we still gave it 110% to do the best we possibly could. I saw too many cars from certain other clubs just give up entirely and drive off the track on heaps of runs. Even if we don't move up from where we are now I think we can be extremely proud of our effort and our result

Congratulations to all in SAU who competed in this here Round 1.

Thanks also to Nulon for putting on a competition that makes us do our best in tight conditions on the Texi course.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
