This weekend just got a whole lot more exciting!!!
The little corolla will actually be fun to take to Dubbo

Im getting all excited and stuff now!!

I'd suggest this is a bad idea... As the area will likely have to be borrowed, and likely paid for, so if it's left in a bad condition, cleanup fees and chances of a return the following year may be affected by the behaviour on the track. Obviously some level of wheel spin would be expected but usually 'silly' and unnecessary behaviour is not tolerated from what I've seen at other motorkhanas.

every motorkahana course ends up looking like a burnout pad, id suggest that the owners of the property are aware of this.

[emp?]

If I cant spin the wheels there isnt much use putting the rolla round it, lag is painful unless followed by stupid amounts of wheelspin and tyre smoke

[PlacentaJuan]

yea and i have teh 2jz power so unless i am just coasting along in drive there wont be much point.

you know what 2j power is like.

[DARKMAZE]

I didn't mean no wheelspin at all...

But, there is a difference between someone having a proper go at the course, and someone who's just trying to drop a massive skid... As I said.. Some wheelspin is to be expected...

Vote 1 Dropping Massif Skids will happen regardless of penalties or guilt-trips from the organisers and/or competitors. I think it'd be similar to asking the Indy organisers to police the Gold Coast Street Circuit and make sure no cars leave rubber marks... Impossible

[IN 05 NT]

exactly, older fellas in the thornleigh car club, im talking about the fellas that are 60+, dropping bigger skidz then the younger gens

big skids will be expected, but saying that, stand still skids are just anoying for other participants,

just pointing out that the owners should expect and be aware that the tarmac will look like a burnout pad by the end of the day.

[emp?]

yeah I think it will be a rubber fest haha

exacry... Last khana i did at Eastern Creek saw one competitor (Commodore driver of course) booted from the event after deciding to constantly bag them up so much he popped one of the rears on the skidpan. It will come down mostly to what the owners of the venue are happy with I imagine but I'm sure the organisers will make this known to everyone at the drivers briefing on the day & hopefully everyone will respect the rules..

[grim boy]

i think if every one is semi responciable and has a bit of fun is the way to go , evey one loves a big skid but as long as no one becomes a hero and reckes it for every one eles should be good .

[YLD-16L]

Will you have the Celica there Dennis?

[grim boy]

no not this yeah , been to busy with the shop to get around to building a motor for it , so taking my work shop hack , which we started giving a birth day on the week end . lol .

["Z" UTE]

1 question, where are the entry forms?

cheers Chuck.

[infotechplus]

Pending confirmation of accommodation booking, I'll be there Friday/Saturday, in the Aristo with 2JZ-GTE goodness. New full exhaust booked this week, and then hopefully some nice B-I-G wheels, and WOOT!

Hope to catch up with all of you and put faces to names!

Cheers,

Peter
