Motorvation 2011 was the year of the Turbo Gem , we had 5 all up on our display on the topside PSIGEM , HALFAN8 , REVNU , DVLWRC , SRGEMT .We were joined by REVNU/Chris's mate with his bagged turbo Celica SLEEK22 . There was also an immaculate 13B Turbo Candy Apple TE in the Elite hall , and a SR20DET TE PanelVan in the pit paddock.. 7 Turbo Gems in total ....
The first taste we got was in the morning when Beehee and i were in the GoWHoa , with both of us beating our V8 opponents
Then a Super cruise with Jazzza .. It was great fun Clint smoking me out blind through the snakepit a few times , and the next one i had Coupedup ,Fantac and Simon in the Gem and we booted it down the strip on 12psi , backfiring every gear change up to about 165kph , it was hilarious .. Then i think my mate came and i did the car balance and on my second attempt i took the lead with 31sec , which i think Beehee beat on sunday with a broken axle.
Then the next day i had the Grass Motorkhana and Parkarama , grasskhana was great fun , first run i went for a serious go at the best time and came up with fourth or something to a WRX .. next and last timed run i sort of half tried to slide a bit go for times and went a bit slower , then i had another 3 fun shots around the course , it was basically snakies in a circle that was the best fun fully booting it on 10psi and handbraking through a few and losing it on purpose .
The Parkarama was better than it sounds , first go i failed , going the wrong way , they told me what i did wrong , i thrashed a grasskhana out and came back , second attempt i pissed it in and was 1 second of the lead to a WRX , they made me go again and i got the record ... I missed the presentations , so i dont know if my times were beaten , they had 2 sessions left of each. After this it was filthy and i washed it .
All in all it was a great weekend of fun , camping with members , and driving our Gems with other GemsWA members and friends aboard that timed it just right. This year the club was given this huge grassed area with site power , We have hope to get more cars down next year as there is at least 2 more Turbo show quality gems that had other commitments and could'nt make the day and then the many in the build including mine.
