Once again Skylines Australia Victoria return to DECA to battle it out over 3 different courses in one big day of Motorkhana action.<br />
Many members of the SAU made a whole weekend out of the event which meant not much sleep but lots of driving and plenty of crazy nights!<br />
<span id="more-2558"></span><br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8221.jpg" alt=""><br />
The day was hosted by a Skyline club so I was very surprised to see this supercharged Lotus screaming down the track, it was quick, I mean really quick! The sound it made was fap&#8217;tacious!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8175.jpg" alt=""><br />
Sean&#8217;s battle scared S14 has been to nearly every event in Melbourne this year so it is no wonder it has a few wounds showing, it&#8217;s clearly all cosmetic as it was still going flat out on the skidpan!!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8267.jpg" alt=""><br />
This was the only Supra on the day, the number plates are no joke!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8364.jpg" alt=""><br />
Here Ash shows us how you avoid a group of ducks on the track, you drift around them!!<br />
Even though you cannot actually see any ducks in this photo he insists they were there!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8477.jpg" alt=""><br />
Sw20 MR2 looking great with full Bomex kit and some sleepy eyes, I was very happy to see one of my favorite cars in action on the track.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8397.jpg" alt=""><br />
This Stagea did well to navigate the back course, considering the track was quite skinny and the Stagea is&#8230; well not exactly skinny its self!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8893.jpg" alt=""><br />
Aaron from Import Monster&#8217;s new Toyota 86, hooking a turn and pulling some serious G&#8217;s.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8903.jpg" alt=""><br />
Some say that the new 86 doesn&#8217;t have enough power from factory, this picture of the little coupe getting a bit sideways tells another story.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8873.jpg" alt=""><br />
Head to head, These two Toyota 86&#8217;s had some great battles throughout the day.<br />
After reading countless reviews on the 86 it seems the little sports coupe lives up to all of the expectations on the tarmac, the car performs effortlessly and both the drivers had the biggest smiles from behind the wheel of their brand new purchases.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8434.jpg" alt=""><br />
Spotted new taillights straight out of Japan!<br />
They look amazing in contrast to the white paint, most likely the only guy in Victoria to have a set of these.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8809.jpg" alt=""><br />
Battle time! Easily the best part of any Motorkhana event, everybody love&#8217;s to watch the battles and cheer on their mates as they navigate the tight course.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8839_1.jpg" alt=""><br />
Jacquii pushing incredibly hard in her S13, luckily the navigator was there to help point her in the right direction.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_9174.jpg" alt=""><br />
If you hit a cone you have to put it back! But where is the right spot?<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_9070.jpg" alt=""><br />
Some call him the king of deca others call him leon, you can see him here as an orange blur in the background.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8912.jpg" alt=""><br />
Aaron from Import Monster shown discussing his new toy.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8309.jpg" alt=""><br />
Lloyd, limit bashing in his trusty AW11 MR2! complete with new straight through exhaust.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8909.jpg" alt=""><br />
The SAU club has a large following and always put on a great event at DECA.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_9005.jpg" alt=""><br />
Yeah you know it! A Chaser leaving a wall of white smoke so he can get the upper hand in this battle.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_9194.jpg" alt=""><br />
Going in with full commitment, takes a lot balls and insanity.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8880.jpg" alt=""><br />
A mean looking R33, getting a bit loose on the debris on the skid pan.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8378_1.jpg" alt=""><br />
A P&#8217; plater with mad skills, hitting the corner like a pro!..<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8384.jpg" alt=""><br />
&#8230; linking corners with out loosing to much speed.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8261.jpg" alt=""><br />
This Elfin MS8 looks like one hell of a handful, super exciting exciting to watch on the track.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8240.jpg" alt=""><br />
So much power in such a little package!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8487.jpg" alt=""><br />
From the side profile you can see exactly how tiny this car really is, huge brakes, big engine and small wheel base make for lots of fun!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8339.jpg" alt=""><br />
There was also a small handful of the classic AE86&#8217;s out on track.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8672.jpg" alt=""><br />
A Datsun triple SSS Stanza that just got faster and faster every run he completed.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_sau_2/IMG_8481.jpg" alt=""><br />
All credit has to go to the organisers and volunteers at SAU for putting together such a flawless event.<br />
We have been to DECA Sheparton many times this year and its always a great day out.<br />

A few times a year the exe crew get together and organise a full day of ball tearing Motorkhana action, for many; this is a great test of their own skill and an ultimate stress test for their beloved machines.<br />
<span id="more-2413"></span><br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7159.jpg" alt="new honda jazz vtec racing"><br />
You don&#8217;t need a full on racecar to participate, this vtec jazz holds its own against its bigger brothers.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7131.jpg" alt="R31 skyline 80s style" class="top"><br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7356.jpg" alt="toyota chaser drift australia jzx100"><br />
Drifting gets you bonus points with the crowd! but does not always pay-off on the clock.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7161.jpg" alt="mitsubishi colt 3 wheels lift"><br />
Hard cornering is a great way to test your tipping point.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7197.jpg" alt="mark 2 toyota import racing motokhana"><br />
One very clean looking Mark II, Harley put together one amazingly solid car, and stayed hard on the gas the whole way around the course, the car did not miss a beat.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7219.jpg" alt=""><br />
There was a good variety of FWD car on the day and this little micra had some very close competition.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7226.jpg" alt=""><br />
Last time i saw this micra it was sideways at winton, always being driven incredibly hard by Tom, he managed to win 2nd place in the FWD category.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7229.jpg" alt=""><br />
No this truck is not a member of the exe crew, while all the action was going on within the skidpan, Deca training continued on around the exe crew.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7330.jpg" alt=""><br />
It always pays to have a navigator especially when the course is full of orange cones! i mean which one should you go for! from a spectators view it is hard enough let alone for the driver.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7372.jpg" alt=""><br />
This silvia has some serious character, such an aggressive front camber set up! so aggressive that it scared off all the small children in the surrounding area.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7383.jpg" alt=""><br />
The track component of this Motorkhana was a great place for people to further certify the skills they had gained on the skidpan.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7418.jpg" alt=""><br />
Unfortunately sometimes cars do hit their breaking point and this lonely nissan was waiting for the current track session to stop so they could try to get it fixed and back out there.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7423.jpg" alt=""><br />
Love the wheel choice and fitment! enough said!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7425.jpg" alt=""><br />
If only this mx5 had parked closer to the puddle!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7431.jpg" alt=""><br />
There is nothing that represents JDM car culture better than DOMO!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7439.jpg" alt=""><br />
When i saw these seat doilies i knew this was a serious ride! with bad &#8220;intentions&#8221; it seems Charlie is brining it back! keeping the eighties alive!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7446.jpg" alt=""><br />
In contrast here is a very new looking Sti Wrx.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7461.jpg" alt=""><br />
All the JDM wheel goodness!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7263.jpg" alt=""><br />
A mean looking R31! with some awesome styling, this looks like some of the touring cars from back in the day.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7716.jpg" alt=""><br />
Here is another chaser doing what chasers like to do best drift! Want more chaser goodness check out <a href="http://jzxgarage.wordpress.com/2012/08/20/exe-deca-d2-2012/">JZXGarage</a><br />

[looks into a pool of water] That&#8217;s not my father. That&#8217;s just my reflection.(said Simba!)<br />
Some crazy close parking going on here!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7479.jpg" alt=""><br />
This is one pretty looking brain bucket.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7481.jpg" alt=""><br />
The parking lot of champions!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7496.jpg" alt=""><br />
No track day is complete without the legendary hachiroku!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7509.jpg" alt=""><br />
Even know this was built in the 90&#8217;s does not mean it has lost all of its poke! Daniel piloted his silvia to take out 1st place on the day! Allot of people expected one of the new toyota 86&#8217;s to be the victor but it wasn&#8217;t the case.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7560.jpg" alt=""><br />
Drivers briefing before battle time!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7573.jpg" alt=""><br />
Time for a quick oil top up! before more limit bashing.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7747.jpg" alt=""><br />
It was now battle time and cars were lining up for a chance to race each other for the prize.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7581.jpg" alt=""><br />
A classic car that is not just a show pony!<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7174.jpg" alt=""><br />
It was great to see this 260z racing on the skidpan! didn&#8217;t think i would ever see one on a track considering how rare they now are.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7695.jpg" alt=""><br />
This was a pleasure to watch! and the amount of power this old JZX71 had was incredible.<br />
<img decoding="async" src="http://photos.gripshiftslide.com/deca_exe_180812/IMG_7811.jpg" alt=""><br />
It&#8217;s great to see such a variety of cars attending events like this and all credit must go to the volunteers that make this happen. If your sick of getting speeding fines and want to see the potential of you car, join the Exe Crew and hit the track for some real fun! <a href="http://www.exe-crew.com">http://www.exe-crew.com</a><br />
Thanks for looking<br />
