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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
