Solo Touge at Cameron

Today is holiday for my company so I decided to go to practise touge at cameron early morning.

I woke up at 7.15am and head up to cameron around 7.45am. I made 2 round of touge today just to practise the racing line, braking, handling and heel and toe. I think i still need a lot of practise as i feel that my handling was no smooth... By the way i need to practise weight transfer also as mention from tougeking...

Beautiful sky at cameron

Not many car during morning touge practise session, but I still saw a police car going downhill.

Touge with CSI member

Yesterday night I decided to touge on Saturday morning, so asked kopinet and ktxmax (Club Saga Iswara member) to join me. They are my buddy of CSI club since last year when we meet in Chinese Cari car forum.

As usual on morning i wake up early around 7.15am and went to polo ground for some morning exercise before head up to cameron.

Ktxmax arrive at the petrol station around 9.15am and take a walk around the shops before i reach after 10mins.

Take my time to snap some photo. I like his Work CR Kai (imitation rim)

After 10mins kopinet arrived too and we head to cameron straight away.

(Ktxmax, My car and Kopinet's car)

Today kopinet lead us up to the checkpoint and I was follow behind his tail as ktxmax find hard to keep up with us. I think Kopinet is really pushing his 13inch tire to the limit as I only able to follow his back only. We reach the check point and waited for ktxmax to arrive.

At the uphill checkpoint

After a break I lead them for downhill session. I was able to pull away from Kopinet after i overtake a lorry as he was block by an opposite car for overtaking. I lead all the way downhill to the checkpoint before relax my gas pedal as i know the police like to set some speed trap after the concrete divider section. We waited for ktxmax to arrive near the traffic light before we say goodbye to each other and headed home.

On the way home i saw a JPJ's own Toyota Fortuner; dam they really know how to make money!!!

Lonely Saturday Touge

My parents was out of town for few days... leaving me alone over the weekend...

Friday night, kopinet sms me around midnight asking me whether i going to touge the next morning and i reply yes on same time same place.

The next day i woke up at 7am due to my gf called me to act as my alarm clock :P for jogging...

I used to jog (fast walking) at polo ground near tambun on every Saturday morning when i didn't go to KL visit my gf...

Many people at polo ground during weekendsAfter had my breakfast i headed to the meet up place to wait for kopinet... bad things is kopinet didn't shown up!!! this time he didn't even sms me to cancle!!! (will wack him when i meet him) So i decide to go alone... when I reach the starting point; there are two police cars hiding at a blind corner (dam no touge for today) i believe they are waiting for their prey again...
So i decided not to touge but just act as tourist for today. Here are some shorts taken with my poor handphone.

Starting point Nice corner
S corner Another nice S corner but i normally run in straight by cutting to opposite road
Blind corner; I got to come often in order to memorised the touge route...This is check point where we used to take a rest.

Starting point of downhill

This type of S turn become very dangerous when you going downhill fast. I still remember kopinet spun his car on this type of corner; luckily no opposite car if not i will bang his ass right away :P

Reaching the check point again. You can see there are lots of car had kissed the divider before; better slow down when you see this...

Touge with Kopinet and TougeKing

I had reading tougeking's blog for a while as really wanna meet him in person to learn touge skill from him in cameron... few days ago i had invite TK to cameron on this morning... my club saga iswara kaki... kopi msn me yesterday nite suddenly and wanna join for the touge session too... :P
I arrive at Caltex gas station early today about 9.20am as i finish my jogging and breakfast session at polo ground today... around 9.30am we saw a red color car with white stripes coming to our direction as we know he is tougeking.... TK came out from the car and shook hand with us; we chat a while then head up to cameron...
TK lead the way for uphill session.... as his 4 throttle roar n shoot up to cameron... kopi and i are struggling to follow his touge machine... kopi is faster than me during the uphill session as he able to overtake some tourist faster than me... i arrive at the check point and saw TK already park his car at the opposite road :( (i'm really slow)

We park our car at at checkpoint and chat up a while before downhill session... TK was telling about some track day preparation as i going to join my first track day next weekend...
he advised me to use some 'botak' tires for practise and learn up the turning limit of my car before switching to those grip tires...
after chat for a while then TK ask us to lead the way downhill as he wanted to observe our racing line downhill... i told kopi to lead the way as he is faster than me all the time....
after few corners suddenly i saw kopi's car start to spin... i believe he had going in to that corner too fast... during that moment i was behind kopi's car and i waited for his car spin to a direction so that i can decide to avoid hitting him... luckily kopi's car was spinning for a turn without hitting any divider and so... i park my car at road side and waiting for TK and kopi to come by... TK told us what he saw just and regret didn't put up his video shooting today... :P
We went to a shop and had some lemon juiced (it was great) and chatted a whie before we went back home...
Overall it was a fun and exciting touge with TougeKing and Kopinet today... looking forward to had more session with them.... :P
