Drift For Dummies

[R31Nismoid]

The event was set to be a test, a dabble into something just a little different for SAU-Vic.

With the aid of the top class instructors, the sponsors J-spec & Driftline, and all the volunteers & competitors...

Its quite safe to say this was a 100% successful event and went off remarkably smoothly.

I would be very surprised if anyone cant take something away from this event that they did not have before.

I saw all throughout the day people's skills improving vastly which is a very rewarding sign for the SAU-Vic Committee.

Again, thanks to everyone coming up to support the event in many ways that people did.

We will be having a chat about the event in coming weeks with the instructors and get to planning Drift for dummies #2.

We can see already many many ways to improve on the next event and give you guys MORE track/training time.

I would suggest if you arent a member of SAU-Vic you fast become one as i have a good feeling that our next event will sell out before it even goes public.

So just a tip to the members of the public who entered.

Thats it for me, i had a bloody excellent day as we had a convert in Adam to the Taco Bills margarita's... so that was my little training for an instructor

I'll let you guys do the rest, post the pics etc etc.

Thanks for an excellent day

Cheers - Ash

Hey there,

I was the chap in the white S14a today. Never drifted before (actually stuck my hand up during the briefing for never inducing it either!), but had a fantastic time clearing up witches hats etc with the underbody of my car (oh, and drifting of course). I've clearly established that I need a set of adjustable coilovers, and maybe 2-way wouldn't go astray either!

Glad to have signed up to become a member of SAU as well, hopefully I can make it to a few more of these events to have a bit more fun in my car

Cheers,

Theo

Thank you soooo much to everyone that helped out, organised it,had a go at doing it and came to watch.

I had the best time and learnt soo much i never thought i would have learnt. It has given me heaps of confidence in my driving and my car and i have walked away with some new knowledge and driving techniques.

Thanks again
