hey guys i was wanting to head to drift attack to get my rolla on the track for a drift for the first time since building it. but apparently drift attack isnt the best for track time? can anyone confirm or deny this?

also whose going up and entering or watching??

cheers

im not entering and neither is fatke (dan), purely for the reasons
A) 2 classes, street and pro
B) we have stickers on our cars advertising, so apparently were pro drifters
C) 32 in each class and no way we are going to qualify
D) 2 laps per car to be judged on, so realistically, you will only be on track for 4 laps

but im coming up to watch

for NA 4ages, there isnt really enough run up to get some decent speed. unless you can enter in at 4th then theres no point imo
you need to higher entry speed to try and carry that all the way through with an na 4age *for comps that is*

Nic19
10th October 2009, 04:37 PM
stylz. there is something called a turbo. you should get on the Boosted bandwagon lol. Cal where can i get one of your custom banana shortened panhard rods?

stylz
10th October 2009, 05:26 PM
yea i know, im just saying for an NA 4age. i wasnt talking about a turboed one

resol
10th October 2009, 07:58 PM
if you can enter in 4th then u have enough speed :)

drftr86; i think your taking the rules for registration a little too straight up. by stickers its more sponsor stickers, and your not allowed large coverage. im gona have a chat to yoshi about ADM'ing my car for the comp. (assuming my car hold together to get there).

Bullshit Arthur, you could do it. Panno did, so does Albert. LEIGH WAS DOING IT IN A FUCKING 4K (on av gas).

stylz
12th October 2009, 05:45 PM
LOL, im not saying that i cant. im saying its not really worth the entry money to try and be competitive in a standard NA 4age. skidding it yea no fucken worries, but trying to take out #1 spot with an NA 4age is lol

Nic19
12th October 2009, 11:33 PM
Matt leigh is a freak behind the wheel of a corolla tho, cant really compare him to a normal person.

think i will just head up to watch. and then hit up the members day. ohhhhh rightttt

matt99

Going to take the Panno up on trade plates, sit out the back on the "M's" and throw cans at people that are doing shit.

pretty ordinary ruling aswell...basically prevents the up and coming guys with a interest in the sport, whom are the sports future from having any financial support...

ae71 kid
28th October 2009, 11:39 PM
ahhh your all gay! im entering... ps who ever said u only get 4 laps is a bullshit artist... 30 mins practice at start of day then qualifyin then if u make it in, battles!

why wouldnt u try ur luck? unless u know ur shit ( clearly im in denyal and think i have hope...)

see who ever there... do ppl still hit up benella lesure park before hand?

choonga
29th October 2009, 03:54 AM
i think i gave them a ring and they were booked out. There is a big national golf tournament for some energy company in benalla on the weekend.

In wangaratta there is a big Jazz Festival.. so all the places i called there were full.

Also rang glen rowan and they were being fucked from both sides as well.

Hence why i'm staying in Shep... 75km or so out.. not too bad..

30 minute prac session, 2 laps per car at a time, 1 car on track at a time, 32 drivers per class, lucky if you get a second chance if you get another 2 laps, straight from yoshis mouth yesterday when i rang him

Nic19
29th October 2009, 02:55 PM
yeh, i would try my luck if i was a bit more used to my rolla and had a decent gearbox and diff in it. not worth risking it with a stock borgy and t50 thats getting louder. rather spend the money on getting w5x and r31 diff in

matt99
29th October 2009, 06:10 PM
i'll be in the cage, yay!

You know your place, if its hot, ill give you a bowl of water.

TIMBO. Everything is pretty well full up as Choonga mentioned. Still, call a few places to see if they maybe had a cancellation. Ill be heading up Sunday morning because I dont need to be there super early as im not sliding.

shift_rook

dw, me n dan will bring some beers, im leaving bout 7 ish, yoshi said prac starts at 9, qualifying by 10, cant wait to sink some ink and watch some skids, gonna be an awesome day

ae71 kid
29th October 2009, 09:41 PM
well isnt that just a whole bunch of gayness! had i known all that i might not have bothered... 2 laps aint enough time to get used to the new turbo, power band and tyres... see how i go... :(

resol
30th October 2009, 12:40 AM
theres 30 mins open prac for each class then 30mins of qualifying which you only get two scored laps (you tell them before hand when you want them to score). best 16 go through to battles. then theres 16>top 4. then finals.

so you will get a few laps in but i wouldnt hold my breathe for maybe 6-12 laps without gettin to finals.

choonga
2nd November 2009, 01:05 AM
turbo AE!

Speaking of which... you get a bigger turbo? You weren't smoking the fuck outta them corners liek you used to man! Seems like you were just off boost while sliding.

ae71 kid
2nd November 2009, 09:51 AM
who me? not smokin? i didnt notice!
I do have a new turbo btw smaller rear housing and larger front with gt2860rs spec wheels, car made 228 rwkw so it should have smoked them pretty good...
now i have a motor rebuild ahead of me! fun...

cant argue with qualifyin 2nd tho, and makin top 4 only to retire due to engine failure as 4th.

Yeah, in the back of the Panno, now it stinks. But I have lots of pics of you that I will upload later, muhahaha.

And Tim, give me a call if you need that 20V.

ae71 kid
3rd November 2009, 11:24 AM
1st of all, good news for me! turns out even tho the timing belt was tight it must have slipped (maybe somthing got caught in it on accout of me having no covers) because i pulled the head off to inspect what i thought would be holes in pistons and broken ring lands and found all my exhaust valves bent, im upset that i didnt even check the timing before i pulled it appart so ill never know how far out it needs to be to bend valves.
on the plus side tho it should be a pretty cheap fix!

2ndly, anyone with pics or vids of the day get em up asap! im gagin to see some footage!
