I dont know if it is just the tracks that i have been on but i have never had to use the handbrake on any ahg, collie or barbs day. Actully i dont think i have ever done it at all, except for being a idiot.

I dont know mayby it's a skill that i havent ever learn properly but i think i can make it around corners quicker without it?

Theres a couple of layouts at AHG that genuinely would be advantaged by using the handbrake to snap the car sideways quick, but generally its a look at meeeeeeee thing.

Drove my brothers 03 Maloo ute last night with bill lee "enhancements" as its called, cams and shit, my god i had to putt everywhere so dangerous, little bit of gas and she just looses the rear.

Had my Lib GT Wagon(6spd DCCD, 185Kwatw) out in the heavy rain yesterday, full rear bias had it sideways in just about every corner(full trev commo style) then I decided to power on and flick it a little on badly cambered high speed corner @90-100Kmph....backed off the power a little(cause I shit a bit) then back on hard when it felt good, a little oposite lock which quickly pulled the front accross and controlled the rear end and 4 wheel drifted out of it...was awesome, loving the DCCD being a old skool v8 driver from way back ...DCCD lets you have fun and doesn`t require the sheer speed and throw it takes a plain AWD subi to get crossed up.

I know what motorkhana is . I have been out plenty. But do agree i do think it is a bit of a look at me thing .

Double clutch first, get some weight transfer forward, flick it around and plant it outa the corner....
