This event is run by the Tamworth Drag Racing Association. Last i heard TDRA was madly saving for funds to build a proper strip at Oakburn park in Tamworth. In the meantime they have been using Gunnedah airport.

Last time I raced there it was an eventful day with some bogan in a t bucket running over the timing equipment and a full drag (cortina i think) V8 rolling a heap of times at high speed. Oh and I beat a late model supercharged Ford v8 ute in my 32 GTST that I had at the time!! Anyway its still a good event.

The drift curcuit is a go cart track at Oakburn Park in Tamworth. It is a fun little track and wide enough to do some low speed drift. The track has been used by Tamworth Sporting Car Club for years for lap dashes ect. The track is home to 'Runamuk' drift club. One driver in particular Bryce Chapman is very good and has competed in the Australian drift series.

I think SAU should hire the track for a weekend. Not just for drift but for a timed lapdash.

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
