Borneo Motorsport Carnival ,Kota Kinabalu .5th-6th June 2010

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Kinabalu Sports Car Owners Club (KSOC)  held their  two day Borneo Motorsport Carnival at the Kota Kinabalu Port  last June . With Car shows, Audio shows, Race Queen pagents, Autocross and Drift demo/session, this event promised to be the biggest car related event, to date in the Borneo region!! We were fortunate to be invited by Tony Wong, President of KSOC to be a part of this prestigious event!

The first place we actually went to was the port where we did the track set up and also to test the cars that we were to use during the demo. I was really impressed with the selection of cars that they had offered us; two S15s, one S14 and a 180sx. These cars were immaculate, almost show car like!! All running on bling out 18″ which is almost unheard of in drift car back in Peninsular Malaysia!!. After a few laps it was decided that I would use Steven’s well prepared 180sx while Jane would be on Mah Lau’s wide body S15. They were incidentally both black , which I think is hows Goodyear cars should be colored in the first place :p. After deciding on the cars we will be using , it was off the the nearest Goodyear dealer which was called Bintang Ramai .

The first thing in order was to fit fresh new Goodyear  Eagle F1 Asymetric tyres on the cars! Those are 18x10j on the fronts!!!

Obviously a little fender knocking was in order :)

After doing the alignment and a quick bite to eat, we went back to the site ,just in time to watch the Race queen pagent rehearsal ..yum yum

Anyways, the two days of event went by so quickly, as it would always do when you are having  fun. It was a pleasure working with the KSOC crew and all the people we met during our stay there..sorry for the lack of photos of the other events as I ate up my memory space on the Race Queen pageant..;)

Grass Racing Autosports Championship Finale ,Putrajaya 18th Oct 2009

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009

Fresh from the Stardrift Finals , Jane , Jensen and I made our way to another finals , this time the GRA’s Round 4.   Held at  the huge parking lot besides the Palace of Justice, Putrajaya, this event had a record number of participants of over 6o people!!!. .

Though not impossible , I knew it was difficult for me to be able to get into the top 3, on the overall standing having missed a round in this 4 round series. However , with me doing  two ‘wrong courses ‘ along with  a corrected run ( where I redid a section where I made a mistake while the time is still running) and a safe run  had me plummeting down the score board ,out of contention.

 With that  being said; Jane and Jenshen killed it at Putrajaya with Jane winning best female and bagging a placing in the Novice  OD for 2009  and Jenshen for placing 2nd in Novice OD for this round and 4th  for OD overall

Yoong proved to be unstoppable again by posting 2nd fastest time of the day. He settled with 2nd behind Andy Kow in the  final overall scores but who know what the outcome will be if he had not missed the 2nd round .

Two drifters made their appearence with in this event too, Derek Lim and Mervyn ‘Nangka Murah’  Mohd with Mervyn placing 1st for novice OD ( i think :) ) for this round!!

Anyway, here are some pics from that day
