pretty strong rumors that a certain white ke70 will be out stomping round 1 with more power, once the owner stops getting laid 24/7
will be stoked, but upset cos i'll get owned big time.
woe is me

[Cerby86]

I gather Ben Purtel will be in his brand new 180SX (not last years car). The last time I saw it , it was just a tub. Full roll cage finished, and we lifted it onto a trailer with no wheels. That was only a few weeks ago.

[Jonny Rochester]

The photo on the flyer must be an artists impression of Tassies best drift car, which is my Sprinter. I will enter.

meh, u should know me well enuff to know that i havent got the time or patience to take photos of car...i sell cameras daily, thats enuff for me, let alone standing at a drift event using one...

just a copy and paste link job on that one

[Cerby86]

yeah i'm taking the piss :P
I was going to ask what that ugly red thing in the foreground but i thought that would be too obvious hahah

[worked]

lazy i'm talkin about josh how. I think you are thinking about daim shelton. Not worried about him and his shed ornament. He's too busy getting way-sted and trying to bed anything with a heartbeat. Think of him as the '09 nathan haskell. Drinks and birds > bus

lol, josh completely slipped my mind...

but yeh, waiting to see this new setup ive heard rumors of

bloke should do pretty damn well with bit more power...

nissans look out...

[Bustin_86]

LOL Daim bringing Hazzy back - not quite.

[worked]

daim is the new hazard
it's not uncommon to find him in a gutter between town and our house, jus trying to 'sleep off' his drunken state!!! i've found him snoozing on the banks behind boags brewery before!! the kid goes hard, what can i say
don't think j.ho will be ready for round 1, and i'm really wondering if it's worth the bother of entering, it's $300+ weekend to get down there, food, fuel, accom of some sort, tyres, entry fee. all jus to not qualify cos 900000 nissans are entering with 200+ at the bags
heaps cheaper to watch in the comfort of joshs crown.
kieran can rep the toyotas.

well uve got three choices...

1. rep toyota on the day
2. rep the alcohol in hobart that night
3. rep both cause ur a hardcore northern kent

falling asleep behind boags is abit of a suprise seeing the household fridge was stocked with hobarts finest cascade draughts lol

[worked]

we're not fussy drinkers like you southern fags
if it has a percentage on it we'll drink that shit
think that makes us cheap tho....

[Johnny_B]

09 nathan haskell.

speaking of this, a rather grilled bird told me the other day that we may see hazardous back IN BLACK in rounds this year, possibly sporting more lock and more rear end grip

but thats just what i herd

[klusio]

you blokes better stay down and tip a few tins down wih us this time!

[worked]

yeh trying to sort accom as we speak actually kieran
it's not easy y'know!

[ae71]

hazzy already has as much lock as he can handle, any more and tyres would get raped on the chassis rails... i know this because i was there... and may of even been holding the angle grinder :P damn i feel special LAWLapotimmous

[worked]

how much lock does one person need to move thier bus around in the driveway
*ed stays a firm doubter until he sees haskell at round 1 lining up next to him*

[Delazy]

how much lock does one person need to move thier bus around in the driveway


about the same both omy buses have...which is both xt rona arms, ps knuckles and ajps spacer lol...good for doing u turns in the front yard in my case

[ae71]

lol, its still got as much lock as possible.

the turb will prob fall off, blow a headgasket and another haltech if he even tried to get it out there.

[skin]

yea poor kent needs to try a new vehicle imo

[klusio]

not really he needs to look after it...
far out when we had in hobart for a few little repairs, I had never seen so many fuel leaks, water leaks, dodgy wiring and all round sketchy ghetto-ness

[Johnny_B]

lol, its still got as much lock as possible.

the turb will prob fall off, blow a headgasket and another haltech if he even tried to get it out there.

funny since the turbo is hanging off it because he has to replace a turbo/manifold stud and gasket

fix his radiator

and i believe the rear end is now back together

however i do believe his car would beat yours, and out drive you. not starting a shit fight just remember if you cant do better you shouldnt gob off about it

i firmly doubt rnd 1. however he did promise a certain ke55 turbo coupe driving kid (not me) that he'd line up next to him at the next symmons practice day so there you have it

[ae71]

we all you your hazzards number one fan boy Johnny :P

[JoshKE]

don't think j.ho will be ready for round 1

Oh I'm entering....





...entering your mum.
</roryD>


Yeah look, I'd like to have my bus going for this, chances are I won't though.

You have to enter Ed, we atleast need you and Clarkie out there.

[joshz18]

cone on josh, serisoully whats left to do?, if you stopped doing blokies in the royal saloon i reckon you might get it finished. haha

[JoshKE]

Hahah as if, blockies would cost far too much with the 1UZ, cheaper to get smashed and carry on in town.

Just waiting on a coupla bits for the fag bus.

Anyone got a 4K-E dizzy?

[Madskidz]

if it has a percentage on it we'll drink that shit

so u like to drink passion pop then?

[worked]

like no, but if it is the only means to keep me drunk i'll do it.

[Madskidz]

hahaha

[ae71]

nothing wrong with that shit... its classier to drink out of a bottle than a bag

[skin]

ya can, dont forget ya can

[joshz18]

i just had to lol about hazkell, If he was in a brothel and actually had to organise his own root i reckon he'd walk back out of the place, He used to be so motorvated to do a skid, don;t know what happened, well i do but i won't grill on about the subject

[ae71]

funny if the bloke actually came on here and saw have a thread full of people talkin about him.... cant say i dissagree with too much of it tho

[worked]

yeh but jaw off as much as you want, he still comes out every now an then an jus kills it.

[joshz18]

i felt pretty safe in the car with him, very relaxed style and plenty of trust there, the cars seen better days but for what it is he does real well.


and this is a thread about rnd 1 so whos actually entering, i already have

[worked]

my entry depends entirely how this week goes in SA
prob might have to skip it which sucks
but is for the best

[ae71]

oh im not taking anything away from how he drives the car at all, i think he does VERY well for what the car is. very basic susy

[kewagon]

im entering, the dr wont be ready so think i will be drivin my bro's bluebird

[worked]

yeh ideal
be good to see you out there james
with luck i might be in the lineup nearby somewhere!

[Jonny Rochester]

There seams to be a fair few cars getting put together for this event. Some of them I'm not even sure of the colour, as they are getting painted this week. Imagine freshly painted cars spinning and crashing into each other. I may even have to come and watch.

[kewagon]

hmm, dont say this shit jonny, haha, its not gunna happen, well i can say that a certian blue 80's skyline is pretty much finished, no dirty bluebird for me

[klusio]

awesome stuff! hope you did it properly no dodgy shite lol

Hobart Sporting Car Club is proud to present the 2009 Specialised Performance Garage Tasmanian Drift Series. The first round of the 2009 series takes place at Baskerville Raceway on Saturday March 7th. Tasmania's finest drifters will not only have to battle each other but a strong contingent of mainland drivers eager to take the silverware back to the Big Island. Specialised Performance Garage once again prove their dedication to drifting and the Tasmanian performance car community by returning as title sponsors. Specialised Performance Garage owner Jonathon Barnes said “We at SPG are excited to be back for a second year as title sponsors and look forward to growing the business alongside drifting”.

2008 was a landmark year in Tasmanian drifting. With each round the spectacle grew in concert with speed, skills and professionalism as Tasmania gained a reputation as a force to be reckoned in Australian drifting. Seasoned competitors fine tuned their ability while talented newcomers quickly rose to the occasion with impressive performances in later rounds. This has led to a large talent base in a variety of well prepared vehicles for the 2009 series promising some of the fastest and closest drifting to date. As in 2008 the series will be split over 5 rounds with Baskerville Raceway hosting 3 rounds with the other two taking place at Symmons Plains just outside Launceston.

In addition to sponsoring the series Specialised Performance Garage have entered a two car team consisting of Drift Australia driver Paul Austin from South Australia and 2008 Tasmanian Drift series champion Ben Purtell. Despite his recent success Ben's goal is simply to “improve with each event”. Even so with two newly built cars and proven competition pedigree they will certainly be the cars to beat. Another hot favourite and former round winner is Josh Priseman, now driving the Tas Mobile Mechanics prepared 180SX. “The car is a monster” said Josh, “Alan and Martin have done an awesome job with setup but I am wary of everyone this year as talent and cars have definitely stepped up!”. Snapping at their heels will be more than a dozen drivers all with a chance at taking the Round 1 crown including a number of Drift Australia competitors eager to sample what has been described as “the best drift track in the country”.

To see all the action head to Baskerville Raceway this Saturday. Spectator Entry is free and the action will start with practice at 10am.
