Toyota Nationals 2009

That result actually really surprised me.

I think it's because Stitty is precision and Jase is all flair.

Any idea how we might be able to view/obtain the go-pro footage from when the camera was passed around between the cars to record runs? Should be some entertainment there Who's camera was it Darkmaze?

Cheers

The camera belongs to Brian. I'm not sure exactly what he is planning on doing with it, but as soon as I know, I'm sure everyone will..

Heya,

I'll get all the results online as soon as I get them, I'm fairly certain Toy77 has it bang on(bar some spelling mistakes ), I'll also update motorkhana positions tonite too.

Once I get the full Khana results I'll pop them online too.

I'll be hosting all photos and video content from the Nationals website once I get it, man my internet upload(thankfully unmetered) is going to get a workout this month....

I reckon Jase's times less penalties was quicker, he smashed plenty of cones especially on his elaborate entry to the gate.

Another great weekend as always, the motorkhana was just awesome fun!

I have uploaded a couple of videos of it.

Excuse the somewhat average quality.

[Yojimbo]

we found out later that those weren't Bathurst police, but Sydney highway patrol just up for the day...

Yes. They were "Traffic Services", "user pays" cops employed by the RTA. Didnt even touch base with the local cops, just drive out, hammer tourists then drive home.

Actually... I was just glancing over the records after reading your comments, and I noticed that Stitt got a WD on one of the courses..

...
In the database this meant his time was logged as 0 (WD times for C&T were not stored in the database), so he should've had an extra 36 seconds added to his time.. Thus meaning he would've been 9 seconds slower overall...

[tomvale13]

ahahahaa

conspiracy.

[RONA]

No one tell Jase this, its much funnier as it stands.

it won't be the last

Was that just an oversite because they werent competing as such, or could this have occured for others also?

EDIT, nevermind, just worked out the abbreviations you used, question answered

Correct.. C&T = come and try, thus times for them were not important. Competetive entrants would not have seen this issue as they had a wrong direction (WD) logged against them for the run (for example David McNeil with a WD on every course got a high overall time where he would have had 0 if it did not function correctly).

Similar to C&T having a class multiplier of 999 to ensure they would appear at the bottom of the listings (exclusing that one guy that got a WD on EVERY course, and thus ended up with a final time of 0 (which 0x999 = 0) and was at the top... )...

Also, in regards to outright (before handicapping) times, the top order would have started:
Steve Wandell (195.05 AWD)
Stewart White (198.55 8 CYL)
Stephen Pembrey (199.01 RWD 4)
Teon Harasynmiv (205.72 RWD 6)
Nathan Skelly (207.05 AWD)
Ben Haines (208.07 AWD)
Adam McNeil (214.76 RWD 6)
Lester Dylan (220.27 AWD)
Shane Paton (223.81 RWD 4)
Bronwyn Kelly (224.94 RWD 6)

WOW, I'm pretty shocked that Steve Pembrey was 4 secs slower than Caldina Steve and 1/2 sec slower than Stewy. Nothing against those guys whatsoever, but Steve Pembrey's driving was so tidy apart from 1 small correction
Well done to Caldina Steve & Stewy on their results.

I'm sure many questions will be answered when the full results are posted, but Steve Pembrey got a 40 second time on Cloverleaf, where Steve Wandell got a 31.
9 seconds is a large margin to make up in a motorkhana if the other driver doesn't make a mistake
