Round 4 turned on some spectacular weather for us today .... sunny and sensational.

Autobarn Narre Warren hosted a great day .... lots of things to look at with Demo cars from Orion, Kenwood and Pioneer.

Lots to eat and drink .... the guy with the BBQ supplying free sausages to competitors .... and then they had a mobile Coffee guy who had all your favorite coffee drinks .... and to top it all off .... free Krispy Kreme Doughnuts .... how can you go wrong with that :P

The day ran very smoothly and quickly and we had the earliest finish ever .... around 3:30ish for the presentations so everyone got to go home early :)

Was great to catch up with everone again as it has been a long time since the last round.

A big thank you to all the people involved, Sponsors, Competitors, Organisers, Judges, Helpers .... without you guys and gals great days like today wouldn't be possible.

I'll post up some pics a little later on :)

As the sun shone down from the blue skies above, Krispy Kreme's rained down on us and filled our hearts with a warm fuzzy feeling (also known as sugar rush, or heart burn).

Was an enjoyable day and good to catch up with a lot of the guys and listen to some nice systems.

Thanks to the guys who made this possible, and congrats to all competitors :)

Today is a day of joy. There was smoothness in the air I think. No major Hiccups (except Bruce's tweeter ;)) and the weather was excellent, although a bit warm for my sensitive voice coils.. hahahahaha

anyways, it was great to see lots of people, including spectators, really enjoying the displays.

Sleep now...

I'de like to say i had a great time at my first SQ event, was great to finally meet those i hadnt yet met and have a good look at some damn fine systems/installs.
Saturday was the first time I had seen Adam's International, what an amazing car, definately one of the best of its kind in the country!

I can't wait for the next comp, I've got a couple of tweaks needed to catch up to Andrea's swift (she won by just 3 points)

Does anyone have the results ready to post up yet?
