Drag Tag - Drift / Burnout Nights

[Bec]

When/What:

Every Thursday/Friday night

There are Motorkhana and Burnout events every Thursday and Friday night and we encourage drift cars to participate on both these nights.

2nd Thursday of each month

They run a "Hot Imports Night" which gives the Import car owners a chance to get together on a monthly basis to socialise and compete in Motorkhana, Drifting and Burnouts.

NB. Pay your admission and the Motorkhana is free to enter.

Time: 6.00pm - 10.00pm (big crowd will mean later nights)

Cost:

Spectator admission is Adults $8 Kids U/16 free.

Just a short note the drift and motorkhana is free on both Thursdays and Fridays after admission.

The cost for Burnout competitors is $5 on Thursdays and $15 for one or $25 for two on Fridays.

If you decide to compete in the burnouts and you don't have your Tyres we can help. Burnout tyres on rims are available for $15 per side rotated on and off your car or you can do it yourself for $10.

Ah really, that sounds tight, been wanting to find one of these for ages, was just a bit confused regarding the price, $15 seems like very little, thats why i thought it was spectate only, i'll try get there tonight

[SLYNE]

i went to the burnout night on friday that just passed, was with afew cousins/mates..

Wasnt the best, abit boring

Waited 15 minutes between cars to jump on the skidpan, crowd was restless

if they improved the organizing of cars/payment ($15 to enter), registration etc if would have a better atmosphere and everything would be free flowing

[justin911]

with the normal drag racing thing... i had a look on the site.. it speaks of $40.. is that it ?? you dont need to pay for some expensive bracket or anything ??

and how many go's do you get ?

[dezz]

you gotta pay like $600 to get your car setup for it first I beleive...

[2rismo]

Visit www.dragtag.com.au and check out the pricing - it's all on there

Re: Organisation of the skidpan, they've only just started doing this sort of thing. Give it a few meetings and it'll be running like clockwork. Go have a go yourself and check out the rent-an-r32 on drag tag or circuit tag while you're there for $10!

Be careful around the drifting/burnout area. I don’t believe there is any insurance relating to those activities and safety is poor. Goggles would be good too if you like your eye sight.

If this is no longer the case I do apologize but the fact that they are still allowing unregistered cars makes me think otherwise.

i ve been dragtag many of times its preety good ther

1st post updated with more current info provided by the Drag Tag team.

[Dean_HR31]

My question is, where is the drifting done at Drag Tag????? Have they now built a track there or something??

There isn't even enough room to comfortably do controlled donuts in second gear on there... Its sized to suit burnouts only and MINOR drifting.

There is no way id bother taking a proper setup drift car there cos theres no room to do anything decent. Untill now all ive seen there is V8 statesmans etc doing burnouts on the brakes...

Can someone confirm the area has been extended or these guys have built a track for circuit/drift application?

Thanks!
