Han Chiang Open Day - Autokhana

I attended the Han Chiang Open Day Autokhana last weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see so many friends from all over Northern Malaysia coming for this event.
I first met with my buddy Fujiwara from Ipoh in his pristine KE70.

Then with Wan Dreamer in his Datto Even Cushion Hao (aptly named because he does interior restoration) attended in his L2 Kancil.

And of course our local Satria heroes were present such as Ray, Deon, Robert, William, and Alvin (R3). I was away for drinks during some laps, and sadly didn't manage to capture all the runs (but got some blur pics when I eventually ran back).

The hatches proved too hot to handle, but Jackson Foo was the upcoming driver to watch for. He entered the double apex at a 35/40deg and slided his rear all the way out ala rally style!

Not one to be outdone, Unker Pang (in Boon's Putra) came out to show all the young lads how to perform an awesome double handbrake turn.

I then caught a glimpse of VictorGR's previous ride in action in the hands of its new owner Darren. He was still a little hesitant when on the "happy pedal", but give him a little time and I'm sure the 7 will be slippin' and slidin'.

Zechs was there in a monstrous Cefiro A31, and in the spirit of keeping the excitement going, Zechs really pushed the RB to slither his A31 through the cones. The big guy was burnin' some serious rubber~!!! Best performance I say...

The event was so hyped up even a doggie came on the track and did donuts~!

Which Timothy Ketit promptly responded to both the A31 and doggie with an awesome gliding show in his sponsored Silvia S15.

Glad to meet all you buddies out there on that sunny day, and hope to see you all again soon. Cheers!

Interesting night.

I was planning on going for touge last night since it was a rough day at the office. But due to adverse weather conditions, I was not permitted to by Him. Since the situation was as such, I slinked back into my lovely rocking chair from Ikea and laid back with American Pie on DVD and a cuppa in my hand.

After the movie, it was around 10p.m. which is still waaaay too early for beddie-bye :P So I rang up Patrick to meet up and chill out! We were to meet at Sunrise McD's for a short chat.

On my way there, I passed by Green Lane and was bewildered as to why there are so many cars parked everywhere! Just to be kay-po, I decided to take a peep at what's going on. So I followed the trail of cars until it led me to Han Chiang where I was greeted by....

An enormous crowd, gathered to listen to the ceramah by DAP.

With the amount of attendees for this ceramah as opposed to the one held at Rifle Range just earlier this week. This 8th of March would definitely be an interesting General Election.

I continued on my journey to meet up with Patrick. I'd arrived ahead of time and met with Keong from Smart Tint and his gf prepping to go for a midnight show. We talked a bit then Patrick arrived with a friend (sorry I lost your name) and we chatted till past midnight when Raj called to apoligize about him missing our earlier calls cause he was sleeping! He also decided to come by to grab a bite.

After getting Raj's supper, more friends called up and we grew in numbers again. Upon more chatting and some proliferation from Dennis, we decided to go up the touge to de-stress. I sat in Raj's Toyota Unser. Da-yum this bugger can drive! We ended up with around with around 12 fellows squatting at the dam gates for tok kok (local slang for pointless blabber just to pass time).

We test drove each others' cars just for shits and giggles. We made jokes about gear ratios and fabricated multiple automotive conundrums!

Our festivities were dampened by "mua-self" when I looked at the time (it was 3a.m.) and I had to wake up at 6.30a.m. for work today! I was in deep slumber the instant I hit the bed and still groggy now...

It was a fun night and I met many ppl with cheerful charachters and interesting points of view!
