A weekend at the Dato Sagor Track

Team BC-Machine had a track day to offer an introduction to track driving with the aid of Zoggee and Tougeking.
Tougeking was also the events manager and VIP driver of this event. This event was held at the Dato Sagor track in Kampung Gajah.

Part of the team had already arrived at Dato Sagor track on Friday to clean up and prep for the weekend activities. Kudos guys!

The second group of fellas due to arrive on Saturday morning met up at the Bukit Merah R&R for breakfast and pushed off at 5.00a.m. sharp for the journey to Kg. Gajah, led by Steven in a yellow Bimmer. They decided to go off the highway for some touge action.

A convoy of 13 cars going through old route touge.

Everyone arrived at the track in time for setup and registration.
Then we proceeded with the driver andhepers/marshall briefing. After which everyone went through scrutineering of their vehicles as a safety precaution.

In the midst of briefing, BCM 003 yelled out that he'd seen buffalo. Naturally, no one paid him any mind thinking that he was joking as always. But seeing the "serious-ness" in his eyes (or the lack of it), we turned around to see that a herd of buffalo had actually came on track. I guess they were looking for some action too eh... Boo-yah!

Tougeking was busy changing his tires under the tent as he was the most anxious person to get on track! First round and BCM Snappy had flagged him down for sliding :)In the midst of all the excitement, BCM 003 had missed out on his lunch. So he went and bought himself some fried noodles only to forget the utensils, so he had to eat it doggy style! (No! Fasso, it's not part of your nocturnal agenda)

The team had decided to change the layout of the track a little for the afternoon, turning the right sweeper after the grandstands to a hairpin S-turns. This change in course layout of course warranted another briefing which Zoggee had dutifully carried out. Cheers mate!
Everyone of course listened intently (because Zoggee's one fierce mutha!), even the helpers!

Even the touge.com fellas had some drifting fun courtesy of Zoggee during lunch time, but only 15 mins was allowed and only in parts of the track not utilized at other times of the day. This rule is so that everyone else has safe runs without worry of debris on the track surface.

Here's a preview of the White Starlet,which belongs to Mikextreme from TCM forum.Zoggee was testing the Starlet and misbehave in track as well. Zoggee...No drifting.....!!!

At the end of the event, we had a simple photo session with our contributors and sponsors which were of grreat help and support to this event. We wouldn't have done it without them.. *hip-hip-hooray*clap*clap*clap*

Maxxis Tires boss standing between Zoggee and Tougeking, all smiles. Tougeking also tested the Maxxis Victra i-Pro on track, with boss-man riding shotgun, and had nothing but praise for it!!! It provides good traction in dry, built with a stiff sidewall to provide great steering feedback, and it has a very linear loss of grip so that safety levels are always kept in check. Look out for it at a launch near you!
