[sean]

I enjoyed myself and will be back for another go

hey all, was a fantastic day with great weather and a HEAP of new people - i was shocked to see so many names listed in Novice Class. Will be great is these new people continue to come along to SQ and social meets - breathe some new life into MEAVIC

was great to catch up with everyone, and just sit back as a spectator listening to some new cars.

Adhika your car sounds really, really good with those Crescendos in there, and i think once some of the little nuances are ironed out in those prototype tweets you'll be extremely competitive (not that u weren't today, 2nd place is damn good in my books).

i'll hopefully have something resembling a system before the next comp so will look forward to possibly competing against timmeh, brian and everyone else in Intermediate

WOW!! what a day..

the weather man was kind enough to hold out the rain till last night, and gave us blue sky/sunshine for half of the day..

was good to see MEASW Vic back on the board again and a successfull event..

Big thanks to Phatt for hosting the event once again.. awesome venue with lots of parking around, great bbq snags, and an awesome atmosphere... was also good to see the new Alpine car on show... was S3X!!!! (and outdone the 300c imo!)

Thanks also goes out to the new committee who stepped up to run the show in marc's absence.. and the show did go on!
pat yourselves on the back guys, was a very well run day.. *pats self on back*

Thanks must also go out to the competitors... Because if it wasnt for you, there would be no comp.. I think i counted 20 cars with novice being the most entered.. was good to see so many newbies going in for fun, and some taking out placings..

Congrats to all winners.. it was well deserved and well fought for.. with many ties occuring in both novice & Intermediate classes..
Novice had tie 1st place but the winner was determined by countback in the sq section..
Intermediate also had ties... in 2nd & 3rd places (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th finals)..

The new whiteboard setup we had worked well.. and enabled judges & competitors alike to see who was next, who'd been judged and how far off finished we were... This still needs minor refinement but went really well..


i got many pics as usual, totallying around the 250 as usual.. some were not directly related to the comp, but they'll be hosted nonetheless..


all i can say now is bring on round 4..

Hey guys!

It was an awesome day! My first ever SQ event. Thanks to everyone for their comments and suggestions on my car/setup. Hopefully for the next round I can take on board those suggestions and do a bit more fine tuning and hopefully get amongst the places

The Encouragment Award is very much appreciated...and it's going straight to the pool room!

[KickerCat]

I had a great day as well! Even though I got stung by a bee Was great to see so many people competing, and especially so many new faces! Congrats to Brian for getting your first 1st place in intermediate... I've only gotta make up 4 points though

[s_tim_ulate]

Hi guys, was good to catch up with some old and new faces.

Bit disappointed that this is the first comp where I wasn't allowed to compete. I think iceman probably feels the same way. I didn't see any harm in it seeing judging was only 2 cars down and we'd been there for a while walking around but not my call.

Considering the event thread only said registration from 11 and judging from 12, perhaps for next round you should also specify that if competitors arrive late without informing anyone they will be not be allowed to compete. Save anyone having their day spoilt and may make for better planning on your behalf?

Not all competitors frequent the forums, but doesn't mean we don't want to join in still, for me I read the first post and throw it on my calendar.

Cheers

Tim

when we gonna c pics damo???

[Marc ♫]

This was a committee decision. It's not fair on everyone else who gets there on time.
Any one with a legitimate reason (working, prior function) who has contacted admin prior to the event, would be considered.
Otherwise, no go.

You don't go into a movie at 11:00am when it started at 10:00am do you?

Sounds like it was a fantastic day and that's great to see. The fact that the whole committee and judges are now armed with the resources to run events and it now doesn't rely on any single person is a huge plus and another step forward to better organisation.

Well done guys!

[s_tim_ulate]

I agree with the decision, just the communication/consistency as it hasn't been an issue in the past and I'm having competition withdrawals.

That aside the day went smoothly good to have a chat with some of the novice SQ guys as well (nidekcus etc), hopefully see you all at the next event (on time)
