Bolting my extinguisher in, going lower and should get my seat tomorrow then pretty much all set, although wouldn't mind some more tires. If anyone sees some 205/50/16's floating round can you let me know?
Other than that, can't fucking wait!

sprinter666
17th July 2009, 04:11 AM
brutalis come up with us the night before, u from the east? if so then its simple. and no address but if u can get into benalla u can find ur way or just ask the local servo.

Just head down the Hume Hwy towards Sydney mate. There will be a sign saying 'Winton Raceway' before the exit. You can't miss it.

Anyway, the address is on their site. Quick google search came up with Fox Street, Winton.

17th July 2009, 01:12 PM
Winton isn't a real big place, you can't really miss it mate.

was a good night, anyone know if those hume speed cameras work? i didnt see any flashes but... i dont need to lose any points....

DRFTR86

Good day of drift,
Leigh(ke70 SR20) of course placed first, followed closely by John(Ford XF, Turbo 4ltr). And third was the LS2 Silvia.

Funny that both john and leigh drove there and back haha

matt99
19th July 2009, 10:34 PM
I had a shit day, due to shit. Shit.

The morning was good though, even though it was wet. Trying to hit drifters that are of the insane type.

NATH WAS'NT EVEN COMPLETLY DRUNK.

NATH WAS'NT EVEN COMPLETLY DRUNK.

I have failed.

what-psi
20th July 2009, 11:54 PM
I thought the silvia with the ls2 was the orange one that got knocked out in round of 8?
Wasn't 3rd and 4th between the black sil and the s4 rx7 from adelaide, which the sil won?
Anyways, fun day, lacked track time imo. If you didn't qualify, the max you got was half an hour practice, half hour qualifying then 1hr 15 at the end which was packed full. Still a good day all in all, September 5th is the next one!

Hokey
21st July 2009, 07:13 PM
yeh i think nath was mistaken about the sil. above sounds more accurate.

rolla will be at the 5th sept one :D

that falcon actually slid pretty well, most likely due to the big power output and drivers skill but i suppose for somethin diffent, look at johns falcon ute! he came second

at lest he's out there

choonga
23rd July 2009, 01:10 AM
Nothing wrong with it.. He's giving it a go. Just because he doesn't have your "typical" drift car doesn't mean he can't give it a shot. Some people like Commodores and Falcons, others like Silvia's and 86's. But in the end, if you like drift. Go for it. The more the merrier!

blacktopspirit
23rd July 2009, 07:53 AM
I agree, the more the merrier.

it just sort of gets to me when they pull the car off the road to make it a dedicated drift car, they're just not designed to do anything other than carry the kids around and take off from a set of light at a "reasonable" speed, even to make them turn a corner you have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on them!

I can get a Ke70 and make it drift pretty well for $5k

if you gave me a ED Falcon or a bloody VL Wagon!!! it would take me at least $10k just to sort out the handling and steering issues! then you still have a shit drift car because of the wheel base.

anyway let them work it out the hard way, I know Cat realised pretty quick that a VK commo isn't going to ever cut it up like an S13.















enough of my Aussie car bashing

the pics are pretty good, the last time I went to an event there was only 2 Corolla's and 3 sprinter.

it looks like there are no sprinters in this event!?

then clearly your not spending your money in the right places....a corolla was designed as a cheap family car, not as a performance car. the only reason they are so 'good' at motor sport is because they are light. and therefore a cheap engine and basic susp mods will get them going.

who cares what you drive as long as your out having fun and learning a sport you love.

dont get me wrong i hate seeing idiots out there clicking it into overdrive at the exit of the corner and battle their way down the street tryin to sway the car, barely in control. that shit will get someone killed. but on the track who cares?

Dont tell Ben that, although he did blow the RB25 up on the weekend.

As long as it has a surf board on the roof, it will slide.

im nearly 100% sure thats the exact moment i stripped the splines out of my mini spool... fuckin only got like 2 laps all day due to the stupid fucking hypergear turbo fisting itself after we fixed the diff! both EBAY QUALITY ITEMS! there is a lesson to be learned in all this.
massive thanks to chris for helpin try and get me back out on the track!

watch out next time guys, gt2860rs, PROPER external gate, cams possibly(pending availability) more boost and retune. if it made 197kw on 13psi with that hypergear peice of crap, imagine what it will make with 18psi of ball bearing goodness!
