My first Gymkhana event~ Pop Cones~

Finally, my first participation in a gymkhana - autocross event. Which was held in Han Jiang collage in Penang, Malaysia. I was there invited by a friend calling ups FR cars for which he said there were not many. So i answered his call and went~ 
But when i arrived, there were plenty of FR car's. A few nissan A31, RX7 FC, FD's, and not to mention, a lot of KE's~  and i found a parking place right beside my friend's car, from left to right, Reuben's means KE-Levin, Hafitz's KE-Levin, Arthur's TE-Levin, and my 20V mango~It's a 4AGE showdown~ 
 And here's the course. A small parking lot beside Han Jiang stadium/hall.
 And this is the cone we suppose to pop???
At 10AM, all drivers was call-up for a briefing~ 
And this was the layout we were suppose to follow~ A simple plan for new-bies like me~ (^_−)−☆
(stolen this pic from bro Victor~ :P hope he dun mind~)
And we start out morning walk~ lol, to familiar ourself with the course. I took 3 walk and a run, literally~ And soon after that, it's FUN time~! 
Thanks Shng.Sam bro for the great pic~
All and all, mango's engine didn't suite the course too much. Every time i come close to the power band, i had to let go throttler already. And the 80% lock LSD isn't helping much either~ it keep pushing mango's front end out when ever i step on the gas when exiting corners.

Now i finally realize that i had to start taking notes on what setting i should have for each event. Lot's of homework to do and lot's more to learn~

Will post more pic after i got them from my bro+friends. Will upload some video tomorrow. (our internet upload speed slow like hell. Tooks overnight just to upload 50Mb of video file)

stay tuned~!
