[(B1) MR_fanny]

yeah when is the next one again? i think they said pretty soon i want in again.....

i should have some footage copied this week ill send to anyone that wants a copy of our group

i dont know how to youtube it?

anyway it would be better with spectators and id like to jump in with one of the DA team drivers again they were unbelivable.

im not sure what his name was but the guy with the stock r33. plates were DFTWPN. jumped in with him on the last run one word INSANE loved it........ crazy crazy crazy

Man that was my highlight of the day i would have paid just to do that all day

cheers for the lesson of how it should be done

yeah you actually got to experience him getting it sideways before entering the turn. looked sweet

i might actually go to the next winton beginner day. anyone else thinking of going?

I'm gonna have to hit you up for a copy. I especially want that clip of me linking turn 2&3...felt great, wanna see if it actually looked great.

[khunjeng]

yeah I'm up for the next winton beginner's day.

anyone got any pics or video uploaded yet?

[Rekin]

hey guys luke fink here

great day you all went very well and +1 for burnt necks and both arms

see yall another time

haha cheers for all the help. (i was the untuned r32 gtst with the Uras rims)

All the stages where great fun and I reckon the big left turn you instructed was one of the biggest highlights of the day. Plenty of run-off so there was no fear of losing it haha.

For those interested in the drift day but didnt go. The event had 5 stages;

handbrake 180, skidpan, big left turn, linking 2 corners, right turn/powerslide

Each stage had a professional instructor so it went real smoothly.

Want to do it again haha.

Cheers Driver Dynamics for organizing such a great day!

Super day but my ass is stuck indoors today cause i am BURN't

For the first time it was run I give it 10 out 10

food good

instructors were excellent

Going forward here are a few ideas Im throwing out there

~ slightly smaller groups like maybe 5 per group and add 2 more instructers on 2 more corners that way there would be less waiting ( im being greedy I want more practice)

~ put people in groups of people at there same level, there were guy who could drift it better than me, where I have been doing J turns since I was 14

~ Have instructers in the car for the first few runs explaining what to then have them out of the car managing the corner keeping the cars following as quick and safe as possible. we all learnt the principles of it we just need to practice it.

Saying all that if you were ever thinking of taking the DRUG of drifting this is the place to start I am now thinking of buying a drift car just for the track and getting into it proper

the lads that were in my group sorry the video footage I got wasn't great but here is a small clip i did

Hey all,

My name's John, I was at the drift day today, but I was one of the few people not driving a Skyline, I was driving the old BMW M5. I gotta hand it to you guys, I do heaps of track days with Driver Dynamics, and there are always more Skylines (mostly SAU members) than any other model of car, it's good to meet other people that share my passion for this stuff.

Met some new people today, and caught up with a lot of people that I had met before too.

This was my first drift day, although I did a skidpan day with Driver Dynamics out at Attwood a few years ago. I learnt heaps today, still got heaps more to learn so can't wait till the next one.

John

Welcome to the Skyline forums.

Im glad to hear you had a great day again. Dont bag the M5 to much shes a beast..

And if you get a chance email me the address for those driving shoes. [email protected]

Cheers Wayne.

Its also great to hear everyone else had a ball as well. I got a few pics/video so when i get a chance i will stick them up.

Cheers..

Hey Muc!

Yeah, good to see you too mate. Always happy to show a friend some detailing tips and tricks, anytime mate.

Yeah, the sound on the Hero GoPro is not very good. There is a new model that's supposed to be better. But I was just looking at it last night, wondering what could be done, and realised that if I drill a hole in the waterproof box that that camera sits in, then the sounds will probably be heaps better. Sure, it won't be waterproof, but then I don't drive underwater very often, so it should be ok

Mate, my head is so red, it's purple! I feel so stupid for not taking a hat with me!

Cheers
