I'm sure that the rain would provide better cover of the skid pan than those tired old sprinklers :

yeah and better because it's not bore water.

Well, the day has come and gone. Thank you to all that came, and an extra thank you to those that gave a helping hand, from cooking the snags to timing, and course set ups. From what I have heard, it was a very enjoyable day had by all, and hopefully we can run a few more of these events in the future.

Thanks again. :

It was a top day Brad, thanks for putting on a great day, I will be looking forward to the next one.
Got back to Warrnambool at about 10pm, long day but worth the long drive.

[Go baby Go]

It was a sensational day indeed...........
I'm in the process of putting the results together, and so far me thinks there may be a NEW Motorkhana champion..........

Thanks to the guys who timed or "tonged up" for lunch - the simple act of everyone helping out for a little bit meant we ran 8 different courses with "play time" at the end of the day... and most importantly EVERYONE got to enter and not miss out because they were timing. One guy's flight landed at 3:30 on Sunday morning from the states, so he came straight up! Now that, my friend is true dedication.................

My clutch is shagged, my steering is now a little shady (not to mention my brain after the weekend), but hell yes it's worth it!!!

Group C- the handbrake work was freakin' OUTSTANDING !!!
Between you and Andrew putting on the show there was plenty to watch!

Here's a couple of pics - there will be a heap on the club website tonight (not to mention i'm sure others who will post some).... I've got a small vid file of Andrew's go at the last naughts & crosses which ?I'll try and put on the site tonight as well..........

Best day I have ever had with the ute, excellent organising as usual and Group C was my pick of the day for outstanding driving. I'd post some pics of the day but somehow got erased off my memory card _
Looking forward to the next one and hopefully do a little bit better than I did :the_finge

Was an awsome day had a ball wish i had the old handbrake tighter ,got to give the ute a real thrashing (normally full of work tools ) great to meet a few more members and a HUGE thanks to all who organised was a great day and well run (timers ,cooks organisers and anyone i missed)

Group C good car control with the handbrake

BRUTE 6 was a normal number plate to me untill it was read to me by a kiwi it took a whole new meaning : : !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLKphoon the grasshopper had another training day and passed all challenges and remember """It dosent matter how fast you go its how good you look at the track""" Maybe a blue jumper next time to match the blue gloves :voldar02:

From the outside you provided plenty of viewing pleasure for all of us, good to see you didn't hold back when the water was turned on.

I never thought I could have that much fun behind the wheel of my car. As an introduction to Club events and Motorsport in General it was a well organised and run event.

After the initial nerves of my first few runs, I had a blast. After the water was turned on it really changes the playing field, scarey (for a first timer) but fun. Now I am a bit more confident behind the wheel and know I will be going that bit harder next time, and possibly get a little more involved.

Thanks all for a great day, and a great display by some talented drivers.

Do any off the FPV/Tickford club member's remember a white supercharged EL XR8 that went to this event a yr or two ago, If I recall he was not a member but he drove like an idiot on the burnout pad and by the way the marshall's were talking to him afterward's, I don't think he was invited back??????. I have seen this vehicle driving around Bendigo a few time's and he drives the same way on the road.

This one?

Right so now I have to colour co-ordinate too _



Also, all hail the master "Group C" Campagne skills

[Grasshoppr]

A big thanks to everyone for a fantastic day :

Congrates to Andy the new champ, looks like I will either have to remove the red mist googles or slow down to avoid the understeer in these bl@@dy things! to regain the tittle.

[Group C]

ummm, thanks guys and girls.
didn't realise i had so many fans!

as long as u all had as much fun watching as i did behind the wheel then we can all smile.

company cars can take a pounding! :hihi:

CHEERS to Brute6 and all the others for the day!

Finding the venues is the key..... Jsmilie:

GRNKPR - I gotta find more kiwi's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done to the new Club Motorkhana Champ - Andy!! :

[GRNKPR]

GRNKPR - I gotta find more kiwi's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





i have a couple on hand :hihi:

[Go baby Go]

Considering i spent most of the time on 3 wheels... maybe we need a seperate category? Not too bad considering my engine is at least HALF you blokes'.......

BTW i looked at doing a series, and was just having trouble getting different locations...... but since then a couple have come t light so you never know your luck in a big city!!!!!!!!!

[Grasshoppr]

Can't wait to find out if we have more venues, i'd be up for a championship!

Group C, love your signature too!

Hi Guys
Great Event, Great Day.
I dont get the chance to go to a lot of events with you guys, but so far you have always put on a great show.
Great to meet a lot of people, and everyone was so welcoming when i asked to come for a spin in their car.
I would love to do that sort of thing more often (and im sure my car likes getting rid of the cobwebs that build up)
I think i still have my little number card in my car, so ill post that back.
Thanks everyone for a great day

On the 3rd step of the podium son.

Which is where I was last year.
And just where did u finish last year??
My memory isn't too clear on that one... :evil_laug
e e e e

[xwgthoe]

Next event the courses will not be known until the morning of the event just to see how you all go then................might even put in a couple of reverse garages and a couple of other tricks....ha ha ha ha

That would be on the top step of the ladies podium, my friend............................................ : : :

[Grasshoppr]

ooooo no reverse garages please... with my misty goggles I could do a transmission out:

Brute 6, second is the first loser right? :the_finge

[xwgthoe]

sorry guys an EF won last year, an EL this year surely it should be an AU as next year's winner - in that case might keep the old girl for another year

Just hope that there are no polystyrene signs on the course cause it seems to have the same attraction as a golf ball does to water.......

[Grasshoppr]

Surely we could make up some of our own courses to keep them fresh?

mmm need to google to find some new courses I think

[Go baby Go]

nope we have got more so will use them next time and ramp it the competition a bit!!
