4th DECA Skidpan Event - Shepparton

'Weekend Granted For Keeping It Off The Streets'

Sat 10th & Sun 11th May 2008

Hey all, here's my quick 3 second spiel on the weekend, F*#KING AWESOME!! For me it started off great, had my own car there which I had only had running about half hour before I left 2 head up. Went 2 gung-ho and now I need 2 pull her apart and find out what's wrong. Still had a great weekend being a car tart, some mates even asked me to drive their cars which I was ecstatic about.

My major highlight though was out of two things, either driving Paul Dixon's Mazda in the expression session or clocking a fast time on the 4-leaf clover in Tate's Senator with Mum sitting beside me on Mothers Day. Just wanted to say a personal big thanks to Dale, Aaron, Tate, Merrin, Paul and everyone else whom handed me either cans or tools Saturday night when I was trying 2 fix my car.

Further to Stormy's comments, I also have to save what a wicked weekend! Two full days on the skidpan instead of one was a huge success and this was shown from the 50 entrants we had. There were some very exciting new courses this year, and many of the events were hotly contested. The "Expression Session" on the Sunday was fun, and by mid Sunday arvo, there were only around 3 or 4 cars remaining in the queue - now that rocked! And who would have guessed the top 3 overall drivers of the weekend were all within 1 single point of each other after the tallying was completed! The fact that half the weekend was funded by the Federal Government was awesome too. Overall - top weekend, great fun not only on the skidpan, but just as much fun hanging out and socialising with so many people at the caravan park - nothing beats staying at one place with the whole club - bring on next year!
