Hi Guys,
A reminder that DECA is on this weekend. Whilst our entry list was full quite a while ago, we'd love to see any that want to come up for a drive, or even help out. We'll have the bbq running as normal, and will have 3 groups rotating - 1 on the back track, and 1 on each test on the skidpan..... For those who have entered- don't forget your helmet!!!! Ohh, and I hope reverse gear works...............

pics? Hundreds.... quite literally....
I'll get a few up, but not all will make it to the website straight away......... Thanks to all that came along- we had a full field of 60, and although a late start (get outta bed earlier guys!) we still had everyone run the back track 3 times and the skidpan 5. The VB challenge was after this - and yet again all Fords apart from a couple were out in the first round. So what were the final two? Last year, Cam came up in his EVO (and won) becuase he was a wuss and didn't want to drive the shelby in the rain. Steve is a local farmer, who brings out his incredibly well put together Zed for a play. You can see Cam in the background as they lined up for the final  This year, it was a good thing that Cam came out for a run the Cobra, because not only does it look and sounds incredibly sexy, but he won again.  The trophy was something a little different......  To those that came and helped - Keith for all your work, Vin who always goes above and beyond, grasshoppr L.A and Roland for helping time all day, Mick and Dianna, MOTIV8, Jules, etc, a huge thanks  : - the day only runs as well as it does because of the helpers.BRUTE6- yet again an AWESOME event you have organised- kudos to you.................  :  :

 : It sounded fantastic when taking off on the back track!! and look out for Steve's Z as he is putting an LS1 setup in it next but seriously a great day to be had by all and thanks to all of the helpers especially GBG and Brute6. Might have to dust off the helmet as the Ford guys dropped out very early in the challenge

Hey Greg!
Glad you enjoyed the day - will get through the pics at some stage (I got a bit snap happy :hihi: ) and once BRUTE6 has done the results we'll know who won! From watching everyone, I have a feeling that Steve S - the guy in the green Zed that was in the final of the VB challenge will go very close.......

Firstly, I should say thanks to FPV and NDSOC for running the day. Had a great time, and the motorkhana layouts were really good. My favourite was the one with the mini garage in the middle with the reversing.
I took a few vids of the zeds and the 180sx and black R32. Thought I would share. I haven't used the GoPro camera at a DECA before and only had one memory card so couldn't share it around with the fords and other datsuns. Turns out I only filled up half the memory card so next time I will have a few spare cards and batteries and will try to share the camera around more. The phone vids are pretty average, need a cheap camcorder and tripod for next time. anyway onto the vids: me, Z32 NA GoPro vids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy4RKlSrP2I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2BEm6KHFr4 handbrake 180 spin failed and i had to do a 3pt turn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPNpbuI0I_c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW9X9djHrxU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0IywNd2rCg on the backtrack:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruUmgZwcHC4 Exterior phone vids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfASaapo9Sk my fav layout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a93NfJAGhIA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtlPg56V_IU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EkIQGuOoeE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdxSmY3roc0 WYKKED Z32 Twin Turbo I am not sure if it is Pete or Mike driving, I think I got one run of each of you with the gopro cam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSxNzdzVBuw looking backwards on the reversing layout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCHRXirP6xo exterior phone vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_8X9CIoubo PAT R32 GTST http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2BqgMLb6bQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tUzNf2u84U http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak0C5YbPtY0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9DNc68bxwQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cfDfrzTGoA ON THE BACKTRACK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmxYRt-CnJk ANDREW, NA Z32 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lb17scKs2K0 JEN, golf TDi http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgYwmvkQHgo JAKE 180sx http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwMpE41XTBI check out the opposite lock and also how close he gets to the cone at 10secs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEH1IYkDNPU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSzjFkoRHiU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzMPF8OX8vE Exterior vids, some nice drifts and links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvKBYmQUMZ0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3-Nr6EzBqI Backtrack Launch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acXNGJFUdrA Also Andrew took alot of photo's of all the cars throughout the day so I will get him to jump on here or will link to his website when they are up. |

There's some great video there Sandeep!
Just on my behalf, as a few have already mentioned, thank you to all that helped out on the day. These sorts of days can't happen without support and help on the day. Motiv8, GBG, thank you again for your help!! Roland, and Damo and LA for helping us with the timing. All the BBQ cookers/servers etc - thank you!! It was also great to see quite a few people come up to watch - woohoo!! Having just done the results for the skidpan - I can announce that Steve Siggars in the green Chev powered Z took out overall honours!! Well done Steve!!!! 2nd went to Adam Jones in the SSS Pulsar, and 3rd went to Horton!! For the FPV/XR club, I can announce that Vin was the Club Champ! Followed by Owen, and Steve Sorraghan - Well done guys!! As much as I love playing in this sort of event, I also enjoy organising/running the day - I still get a thrill from seeing everyone else having fun!! Once again, thanks all for coming/competing/watching!!! Cheers, Brad

Brad and Sean you should definitely compete next year, I'm sure you could get people to cover your post for a few mins while you do your runs. Usually at the SAU deca days I help out on the skidpan and still get to compete.
I agree with Brad though, watching people run is pretty cool, also you can learn heaps. I did the timing for a SAU event last November, sat on a chair on the skidpan for 4 hrs straight and timed about 50 cars doing 4 runs each... I learned heaps from watching the cars and taking down the times. You get to see what works and what lines to take to get the good times. Also next year the ford guys should pick the other side of the skidpan for the battles. The left hand side usually is more slippery... don't tell any of the datsun guys I said that though ;) |
