Drift Night!

[Dan_B]

Well hopefully the project is finished by then, keep your eyes out for a Black R31.

[Oblivion]

will do mate...r31 sliders are some nice shiznit.

if i go guys i will post on here to ask if people want a ride. you can let me know then.

[ZENNON]

Yeah AzzurrA I must admit I was a bit when I heard they actually charge spectators

ive been to the last 6 saturday sprints at QR and they sure dont charge so yeah - surprised me a bit

but like Anna said - it comes down to the fact that people want to see it

(more so than watching porches, etc etc race)

as for old tyres - thanks for the advice peoples - will come one day but not this month im afraid

(have some serious money issues )

[J-Boy]

I might give this a go for the fun of it~ But it sounds pressurizing, i'd very much rather attend some kindda non-spectated drift practice session, given the fact that i've got no drifting experience.

[AzzurrA]

what's the go with the drift comp. on saturday? anyone know any details on it? i might go out and try out my new lens for my camera (seeing as there is no other motorsport on that i know of )

[Benno-]

there is no pressure, the spectators know its practice, alot of them are just friends of the people out on track.

so i wouldnt worry.. trust me i gaurentee ill be pretty average out there... depending on what part of the track we are drifting

[Shaneo]

there are 3 different Drift events held by QR

Friday nights are a practice night. you can access the track for $80 or get on the skidpan for $50.

Saturday nights are a competition night that is aimed at getting more newbs into competition. There are no tandem battles, it is purely points based.

Sundays is the DriftState competiton which is run like a traditional drift comp with 1-16 battling it out in Group A and 17-32 battling in Group B.

I thought the prices has changed since willowbank was actually running it now...not driftzone.

nah man its fun as.

just take a racing line and power over at the start of the corner and counter steer....thats how i started...now i use the hand brake for some good entries.

fun fun

Yeah ZENNON...june 1 is a friday isn't it....hmmm....

They do a skidpan on the night too? Wot do they use on the skidpan and how is it run?

[Benno-]

skidpan is on the same night, its boundary is the plastic road block's filled with water

its $50 to go on skid pan.. its soaked with diesel

Im the same as you - want to have a go but am scared of the shame !

[Dan_B]

Well my first run on the track will be the 1st of June, im sure i will stuff up, but hey thats why it is called the drift practice, all got to start somewhere, i'd rather learn on the track then do it on the street

[Benno-]

sounds good!! looks like SAU will be taking over the night!!

[hrd-hr30]

it will be my first time too. people coming to watch a drift "practice" shouldn't be expecting too much, and I'm sure they're all just friends of people having a go on the night. so there's no real pressure.

i dont believe they soak it with desiel, and i think the barriers are empty....though they still cause damage.

if you pay to go on the track the skid pan is included.

and it is a mad arse night guys...heaps of fun..i have been doing it for 8 months now.

[J-Boy]

Sounds good...well i think ill give it a go...so its entry on the day itself or prepaid entry?

[Benno-]

om day entry
