It's now official,

Mettina (Tini) and Maria (Madaz_Chick) will be competing in this years "South Australian Rally Championship" in Intense Motorsport's Datsun P510 Rally Car.

They will be contesting the 'State Rally Championship' which consists of four rounds this year.

These events will be held on the following dates:

July 1st -Eden Valley Rally
August 19th & 20th -Toyota Rally of SA (which is also an ARC round)
September 23rd- -Roberstown Rally
October 14th & 15th -Kuitpo Forest Rally

They will also be competing in some rallysprints, khanacrosses as well an intro rally.

It would be great for them to see some familiar faces out supporting them and cheering them on! Why not support the girls getting out there and dirty and mixing it up with the boys!!

I will post links to spectator guides as they become available. Otherwise PM or email me and I will send you details on the events..

Anyway, what ever car, i'd like to try and come along to cheer on the girls and drink some beer... is some steak sanga's provided at the venues, if not, i nominate the DeL charity to donate some of those aswell :D

DeL2 Jun 2006, 12:35am

RAvvy, i think u know my generosity is unlimited.

its a Datsun 510

one of the greatest handling cars of their time.

often seen now with Fj20s in them.. pulling massive figures.. and wicked times..

and even awesomer burnouts.. ive seen a mates ( leighs) doing 5th gear donuts like it was in 1st...

with a good strong L block in them.. they are great little cars!

scattered14 Jun 2006, 4:46pm

Well the weekend went well and Mettina (Tini) and Maria (Madaz_Chick) brought the car home in one piece and had fun along the way. They finished 9th out of 11 cars in there section, which included AWD turbo vehicles.

Now the race is on for me to get the car ready in time for the 1st round of the SA Rally Championship which is to be held on July 1st at Eden Valley. This event will be a day/night format including a tarmac special stage.

I will post spectator guides to this event as soon as they become available.

scattered4 Jul 2006, 12:22pm

The first round of the SARC was held on Saturday and the weather was crap but the excitement was high!!

The roads and were very wet, boggey and chopped up by the time the rear of the field made it through the stages. Overall the event went fairly well, but SS7 was delayed after a competitor rolled his car. This took a while to clear before restarting the event.

The girls finished the event with no issues from the car but had a little incident on SS3 where they had to turn left through a cattle grid. They clipped the grid and did minor damage to the rear 1/4 panel and bumper. But this did not stop them from finishing the rally.

We now have a bit of work to do, before the next event which is Toyota Rally of SA to be held on August 19 & 20 in Mt Crawford Forest. Anyone who would like to help out as part of our service crew please advise me by PM and I will discuss it further with you.

Here is a pic of them in action.

tini4 Jul 2006, 1:54pm

Wow ... I can't believe I finally made AND FINISHED my first State Event

The first Stage was frightening... all the nerves and anticipation to be let loose on a road where you had buckley's of driving where the wheels pointed!!

It was so slippery that even on the straights where I could bang it into forth I ended up fishtailing, braking traction and heading for the (quite pretty but) bloody huge trees

Stage 2 and my nerves had settled... i'd been warned that this stage may be slippery

so i knew what to expect

Now I know all you guys out there were probably doing handbrakies in your Rice Bubble Box Karts when you were 3... at that stage and unitil now all i knew how to do was fall off a bike... but YAY WOOHOO I pulled off my first handbrakie on Stage 2 at the Spectator Point...

I continued to practice these at every oppotunity and on one corner (well actually it was in a transport stage but nevermind about that i need all the practice i can get) I managed to do it twice without coming to a complete stop

As Leon mentioned we had a brief but sharp argument with a cattle grid on Stage 3. We were coming down this hill right on dusk and ahead was the 90deg left turn through the obstacle... by now around 38 (including course cars) had gone through there with speed and no doubt a bit of handbrake so it was just a bit on the boggy side

I actually turned into it ok but when i turned on the power to get out of there the back end twitched and caught the post... aahhhrrr my poor car

But that was the end of any incidents and the rest of the night went smoothly.

My results i'm feeling(as they aren't out yet) are total crap but the positive side to this is that I went into the rally with very little experience in my car, very little experience with how the car would react and also a bit bloody nervous!

Every stage I felt more confident and at the end I came out knowing now how well the car drive and believe me I will be pushing a f*%k load harder at ROSA.

I CAN'T WAIT

HUGE THANKS

to all the guys that came and helped Leon in the miserable weather to keep us Girl's running - I can't say enough how much I appreciate your help

To Maria the Madaz Chick THANKYOU for all the effort and commitment you have put in to be my codriver. We are definatly a great team

And to Leon - YOU ARE A LEGEND ...

I would like to say Congratulations again to Mettina and Maria for a job well done!!

Competing in a rally is hard enough let alone a 2 day event at National Level...

Also a HUGE Thank You to all the guys who helped out over the weekend!! Ethan, Spike, Shaun, Joker4, Luke, Shaun and Also Foonji!!

You all did an awesome job, and the girls and I couldn't have done it with out your help!

And a special Mention to the following:
Foonji, Thanks a billion for coming out and taking photos for our team!! we really appreciate it!! Can't thank you enough....

Joker, Your help was outstanding and when we needed a part, you helped source one for us and then was willing to go for a drive and pick it up for us!! Your a true champion!!

Maria, You have done another awesome job with Mettina. 3 days of sitting in a car is a hard thing to do, let alone reading whilst being thrown around in a seat in front of thousands of spectators!

Also, I would like to thank everyone who either attended or sent us messages of well wishes!! It was really nice to know that you were there supporting the girls and our team!!

The final results of the round have not yet been released, but i will advise as soon as we find out!!

OMG I can't believe what I have accomplished!

And I could never have done it without the help of ...

FIRSTLY - Leon... you have done so much, spent so much time and energy, sacrificed so much to get the car and myself ready- i can't express enough how much I apprecaite your dedication to see my dreams fullfilled

Maria - OMG I can't believe you don't get car sick or so scared that you bail!!! There were only a couple of hairy moments but you stuck in there and WOW what a team we make! Thankyou for the commitments you have made and the time and effort you have put in to making sure we turn in the right direction

Simon - can't say enough how much it means to see you helping Leon and keeping the datto reliable and running sweet It was really strange but also amazing to be able to jump out of the car and see you and Leon, Luke and Ethan swarm over it and take care of all the rattles and creaks AGAIN THANKYOU!!!!!

Foonji - I can't believe the number of photos you took Thankyou SO SO much for preserving such a comprhensive range of memories It was awesome to be able to share the weekend with you and to see you, I think, quite enjoying yourself! I loved seeing you under the car too and sneaking photos of the boys at work

Also HUGE thanks to Ethan for organising the marquee, food, heat, power, tools and keeping the car going! And HUGE thanks to Luke for all the mechanical help And HUGE thanks to Spike for keeping our windows clean and clear, and us girls fed and watered And thanks to Shaun for being such a huge support for Maria

It was an awesome weekend - the weather to start with held all weekend and the roads were fast and dry and only a little dusty!

I learnt so much and my confidence in the the car has grown considerably! I can now slide the car around quite happily and am no longer timid to put the foot to the floor in 5th for the long straights!!!

My times compared to the rest of the field were not great but I am closing the gap, having a ball and was able to entertain a few of the crowd

Next Rally is Robertstown in 4 weeks and there I aim to be smoother, use the handbrake only on the hairpins and keep increasing the pace. I am confident I will close the gap on stage times even further! I want to do everyone proud

THANKYOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS GIVEN ME SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT

MWAH...

hun, it was my pleasure to come along take photos, and help out where ever I could.

and I love to see you and Leon aswell, you both always manage to make me smile and lift my mood no matter what. Sat morning i wasn't too happy from silly things i did on fri night, but once i saw you on the side of the road and i stopped, and you punced out at me, you changed that straight away! you are truely an aura of pure energetic energy!

and you did a great job driving, and you will surely improve even more each time, as you learn from your mistakes and your confidence grows even more with every turn. both you and maria have the drive and motivation to make it very far and i believe you will!

and i will glady come out with you again!

ALL THE BEST AND GOOD LUCK!
