Put my name in and can't wait

Which car I take out is another decision

by **cogent** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 9:17 am

I pm'd distrb to put my name in, gonna bring the RX7. Expected outcome: making a fool of myself as I take it for my first event ever.

It's all about having fun man, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun in that unless it breaks :oops:

by **cogent** » Thu Oct 09, 2008 9:13 pm

Yeah, I plan to take it to the masterton drags in november, for my first time at that too.

If you think pressure is taking a FD to an autocross with no idea of how to control it, try being the dude rolling up to the staging line in a FD and not knowing how to

a) launch it properly
b) do a standstill burnout for the rotorheads in the crowd, to scrub in the tyres

jeeeeeze, the pressure!

Dude, I used to hang out in Paraparaumu when I had my RX7's, it'll be my pleasure

by **toymato** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 11:40 am

I'll give the Charade a go. Trying to adjust the camber so it keeps all the wheels on the ground. Might have made it worse.

by **Snaps** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 12:55 pm

Damn, wish I could bring the Supra, It would be my first time

But I've got College, F**k.

Edit: Just remembered, it's Labour weekend then aye?, I'll try and convince my parents to let me come down.

by **Sh0ckwave** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 2:51 pm

I would be keen, but everyone will probably just laugh at my crappy levin :lol:

by **Mr Revhead** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 2:57 pm

all are welcome, dont even need to bring your toyota as we understand that sometimes project cars are not drivable!

A*SS!!! Thought I might be able to do well... not now that you're coming

by **Snaps** » Sat Oct 11, 2008 8:11 pm

And how many people are gonna be coming? as many as are on the list, or everyone that's staying for the whole weekend? It'll be my first time if I can come, so I'm hoping there won't be too many people there.

Edit: Sorry didnt read about the time

These events are all about giving it a go, its more about having fun than having the best times.

The more people that take part in the event the better it will be.

Don't worry about how many people will be there

Course you will do well. Your car can go forwards take corners flat and stop properlike. Mine does party tricks like gross liftoff oversteer, pee on the nearest lamppost and then fall asleep on the living room floor. :lol:
