I don't knwo If I'll get this post taken away but here goes anywayz.

On the transport to SS2 we nearly hit a lady who was driving towards us. She was waving at us like "slowdown you idiot"
Problem was that we were doing like 50 kph and sticking to our side of the road.

Now if it takes only one person to complain then how do we keep them onside when this person was clearly over reacting...

In the end, I was glad to help out "The A-Team", and helping Jen gave me some feeling of satisfaction. It was tempting to kneecap Brad and reclaim my seat, but he's too nice a guy to do that too

If you had helped out the event, then the crew you decided to help would have got another almost 20k's of rallying in

We were 3 road closures short on the Lowden Stage.......

What was it with people being unable to help. The event uses less road closures than any other event, and we still had troubles.

the end of that stage rocked too!!! especially the hump at X-Roads!

Daveee · 18-09-2002, 03:19 PM

So... with you doing a road closure as well we would have only been 1 short...

The first I knew that there was a shortage was when I got to the stage - instead of getting the ****s at people latter how about you let people know before hand- I could have found 3 people for you no problem at all at the drivers breifing.

I'm sure I could have ruffled up another couple too...

Matt · 18-09-2002, 04:23 PM

I was waiting for the "better halves" of Daniel's car to drop off spec instructions, so I didn't get to spec1 until late, then shot through to get to servicing. One of these events I won't sleep in...

I'm a sponsor, how does that work Daniel? Sheesh...

Daniel · 18-09-2002, 05:23 PM

You'll notice that Ray needs photos for his SPONSERS, his SPONSORS have to take their own, just like you

asmith · 18-09-2002, 05:27 PM

Watch it or I'll plant a tree in front of you...

Daniel · 18-09-2002, 05:28 PM

If you haven't noticed I don't require any help..

And I'm not that slow - unless it was a pine tree then it could be a problem.

Smee....don't make me angrier.

I like to think that I help out plenty....I contacted people with regards to the event, oganised for the distribution of fliers around Captains Flat, and assist anyway that I can. I try to help out whenever I can, with all events, no matter who they are run by. And I really wanted to run that event. Really.

I think I'm one of the few people that would recognise the efforts that Fi and you and all the officials had put in to the event, but...

There comes a point when I say NO! I don't want to sit out in the forest by myself for a few hours. I don't feel like doing that. Why? So I can think about how I ****ed up my chances to be out there competing?

So just back up and think before you start trying to hammer me for not helping out. Like I've said in company before, we need to spread the load, instead of relying on the same old people everytime to help out and take up the slack.

This time, Fro took some time out for Fro. And I needed it. Had I been in a better frame of mind, I would have gladly helped out. But not this time.

Besides which, I'd like to think I was legitimately helping Jen servicing...it wasn't like there was 4 people for the car. Jen had Tim and I. There wasn't much overlap in service times between the three Austins, and as it turned out, the one problem Jen actually had it was good to have two people there.

There was a shortage of service personnel available anyway. just ask Spac, or Brett, or anyone else...

Yeah... isn't it always the way though? I think that there has been a sudden increase in the amount of people getting off their asses and getting cars ready. Yes, it could have done with more people helping, and less service crew kinda people... But hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Edited by fro, 'cause I was beign pretty harsh on smee...borderline psychotic is probably an apt description.
