Who Is Coming To Drive Watch Drift This Weekend?


Recommended Posts

Just wondering who is going to drive/spectate at the drift this saturday at calder park?

This is the First open practice event this year on a weekend or in the daytime for that matter, which makes for good photo opertunities, and there may not be another one. Due to the high price of track hire.

The experienced drivers will be driving the track backwards! for one section entering blind over the hill into the shicane on the back straight is really scary! The best drivers kicking it oposite scando styles before the even get to the hill then exchanging over the rise!!not to mention great to watch as cars slide out of the last corner on the long track and skim the wall as they jam third and hit limiter all the way up the straight. :no:

The Holfrods S14 and JDS Imports LS1 s13 will be testing their cars for the DA series......and i hear Chris Dejager will have his new car there as well.

Should be a great day of thrashing!

Hope to see you all there.

Cheers Warwick

Who can compete?

Anyone can compete. You do not have to have a highly modified car to drift. Unlike most forms of motorsport, it is not about times or track position, it is about finesse, style and car control.

Drifting is judged by officials who follow a set of rules and regulations and therefore purely relies on the driver’s skill.

FLAGS

Yellow Flag:

Will be waved or shown to warn drivers of a hazard ahead or in the area of that yellow flag, there is not to be any DRIFTING/SLIDING or OVERTAKING on the next corner after the yellow flag was shown.

Red Flag/Flashing Red Lights:

Drivers must stop immediately where they are on the track and await further instructions from an official.

Black Flag:

Driver to leave circuit and report to the meeting director.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
