What a fantastic day! the sun was shining and there was not the slightest bit of cold wind that we have been having down here for the past week. not so big of a turn out as the past two rounds. but still a great day.

Many thanks to the judges and to the organizers of the event. Billy for cooking the snags. this round went really smoothly despite being down on judges. was run very well.

Being a local i was happy with the turnout. unfortunately i wont be at next round but the way the last 3 rounds have gone ill have some fond memories.

Yeah Jono, Wollongong threw on it's finest for the day, was brilliant weather, an absolute stunner of an Autumn day.
I'd also like to thank Billy for the Snag rolls and drinks, and thank the Judges for being so prolific on the day, it was a lot of work for them.

I thoroughly enjoyed the day, great company, great systems and a great result. Makes all the hard work worthwhile.

Thanks again Marty for throwing on a great comp, cant wait for round 4 and a bigger turn-out to make the competition even closer.
mmm.. some big changes for the next round for me, so Im hoping all the big guns are there for comparison ;)

Congrats on what was (I'm sure) a very well deserved result.

From first round to second my car improved a hell of a lot, with a jump from 13th/16 cars (round 1) to 5th / 20+ cars (round 2).

The improvements I've made since are more significant then ever, so that made it all the more annoying that I wasn't able to make it to this one.

If all goes well, hopefully I'll be able to apply a more little pressure come round 4 :)

109 was top score in am street 3 points down from last round. where 112 was top spot at round 1 117 was top. judges are marking harder i think to give a more accurate results. i found it to be very consistent today. i don't care if a 7 last round is a 6 this round. its between cars that counts and its been going well..

What great weather and a top location. The skydivers also kept it interesting as well in those wait around moments. Big thanks for all the people involved with the food as well.

Everything went so smoothly today, I think we finally got it right, really well organised, thanks to the safety check people and well done Marty - the running order, keys, directions, alarms, HU navigation and the fact people were right by their cars really helped. All contributed to make it a lot easier to settle down and concentrate on the sounds, to mark well and to try and think of some useful feedback.

On the point of marks, it's hard to be consistent between rounds. It kind of depends of how good the first car is as of course you have to then be relative to that. Overall things definitely sounded better than last round but the scores might have been a tad lower.

Also I really must say, there were some cars when I found myself just sitting there enjoying listening to the music (on a CD I've heard 100 times). Had to force myself to be distracted and score. It's getting that good :D

That aside, some excellent systems and those you can hear the quality in (but not quite the perfect eq) still need some tuning - I'm sure that when everything is right and I hope the feedback helped - they really are going to be some fantastic sounding cars, hopefully shivers / hair on the back of the neck stuff. It would be great to see a 10 awarded.

^ love you're sig.

How was the turnout, were you down on numbers, or were the missing places taken up by locals/newbies ?

Great to hear it went smooth.

Hey! Sorry for the late reply... I didnt get on here for long yesterday afternoon, coz i was just dead tired, and remembered half way thru the day that i had an exam on at 8:30am this morning... Argh! :(

Anyways, what a great day. Wollongong sure put on its finest weather for the comp! Beautiful sun, not a cloud in the sky and no howling wind off the water...

Good turnout, even tho i think we were about 6 cars down in Am St, it was still a great day, and another VERY close contest...

Big thanks to Billy and Leo (and i think Sonny aswell?) for cooking the Snags and/or keeping an eye on them anyways :P cheers guys!

Thanks also to Marty and all the organisers etc, and lastly Congratulations to the winners for each class :)

Onto some pics! :D

edit: argh. i uploaded all the non edited pics with numberplates shown :P DAMMIT! check back soon for the proper ones. lol

:)
