Caltex Challenge was a flop. Not that my team didn't do well, organisers screwed up. Pit marshalls eating ice cream when they are supposed to be taking timings. Our team had it enough when we waited there at east coast the whole friday only to be told to come back on saturday for our race. My team got a timing if 12.21 and were supposed to be in the top 6 from Category A,yet we weren't called up to come to the finals. Shiok right? Anyway we decided to heck abt it, since we had fun anyway. Took some pics after the race and slept in 87 all the way home...

On sunday(ytd), went for powerboat practical lesson, learnt how to manouvre the boat (60hp yamaha engine,imagine how fast it can go), practise Man-Overboard drill and learn how to berth and unberth safely. My group completed our lessons and assesment the fastest so we were given leisure time to play around with the boat. We took turns to speed the boat like nobody's business until our instructor had to pee urgently in the middle of the sea. When it was my turn, i gradully throttled up until i see some sea space for me to do high speed turn, it was INDREDIBLE. I straightened the engine and went for a straight dash after a sand barrage was towed past our boat, i went full speed in the direction of oncoming backwash created by the sand barge and its tugboat. The whole boat jumped and splashed back into the water with a loud thud. Notice that in high speeds, the sea surface feels like concrete. The instructor behind cannot tahan oredy, haha. The rest of my group at the back of the boat were going "woohoo! power la! eh gay la go faster la!"

After lesson,i tried out my group mate Bob's scrambler. It's the Honda XR400 with illegal aftermarket exhaust...so it's freaking LOUD...It's... it's...it's....like WHOA! Imagine just getting on the bike and getting the feel of it is incredible enough...the clutch is smooth but not the gears due to the fact that it's a SCRAMBLER. Had a fun ride after all, going over kerbs, carparks all...hahaha..it's gonna be a long time before i get to ride that bike legally. After getting 2B, i have to wait ONE YEAR before i can take 2A.

At the end of the day, i find that driving a powerboat is much more fun than driving a car.

There's more space,no lanes, no traffic lights, no irritting horns, speed limit of 13 Knots (it's hell fast on land), feelling of riding the waves is priceless!

Adding on, i just got a new chassis for my rc drifter. Came with the red Impreza WRX shell.

Think that's all for now. Cya
