Driver Dynamics Beginners Drift Day Sandown Saturday 17th January 2009

[(B1) MR_fanny]

Do you think they will take video footage?

i really wanna see what it all looks like later on.

Im happy to pay for a video later or something it would just suck if we couldnt

that why i was going to bring a friend or two?

but yeah got comfimation and it says no spectators...?

A camera in the car just doesnt cut it for drifting....

just pass your cam off to one of the driver thats waiting in line for their turn. cant guarantee the quality of the cameraman but you will get some footage.

hopefully a spot left, going to book in at 9am

[hirsty]

got the last spot ^_^

[Italiazr1]

well im borrowing my brothers video camera anyone wanna do the same and we will swap while we are waiting for a turn???

i dont wanna strap it into the car footage is way better from outside on a drift day

anyways i got my car all ready now for it just fresh out of my mechanics but im only runnin 16psi @ 220rwkw

should be enough

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

well im booked and paid up... should be a good one...

your gonna need a lot of throttle control to drift your beast in the wet al

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

drift your beast in the wet al

why did i phrase it like that?

[Al]

your gonna need a lot of throttle control to drift your beast in the wet al

From what i have heard you aren't shy on power either. I bet my torque and power will be easier to control than yours.

Just have a look how progressive my power curve is and how flat the torque graph is, especially on low boost, and how early they come in. NO LAG FTMFW!!!!!

At my last Advanced Driver Training day, with Driver Dynamics, they wet the first corner and got us to stomp the accelerator from 40km/h, in 2nd gear; car went round that corner sideways nicely, 4 times. On the last run the instructor asked me to not use the throttle to regain control, just so that the car gets out of shape.

Damn this is going to be sooo much fun!!

PS: No Westies interested in driving to Sandown together?

Im looking forwards to the day, just need to finish off my serge tank first.

My lovely wife brought me the training day as a chrissy present.

Sounds like there is a few people going from here, will be nice to meet some of you.

Cheers

my stupid puss box shitter has major issues...dont know if she will be attending, anyone chasing a place please pm me, in its current state it wont be sliding anywhere.... I'm hoping to get her fixed prior to this...but its not looking too good at moment. So if your keen let me know, I should have a def answer around the 10th of Jan.

As you can imagine i f*&ken wrapped about it.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

im on the waiting list so ill let others infront of me get dibs on your offer first..ha.

[33gtst]

DD said is was non refundable, they actually have a wait list? now im confused...lol but given how close to the event date I'll know if my car is going to be ok, i guess i dont really qualify for this either I'll let you know as no one else has contacted me about it!

[(B1) MR_fanny]

no worries. yeah if people havent paid up by a due date then we get dibs on any spots available.

[THR34T]

I will be there with my video camera to get some footage and pictures. should be good

[33gtst]

well things have gone from bad to worse with my car *cries* had a mate come over today to have a look at it, once we had the timing correct...the newly installed water pump smashed...I guess this was the noise, I was so worried about. Lucky I didnt drive it. Towing it back to the guys who installed the water pump on monday, so I'm touch and go for the event. B1(MR_fanny) Ill have to wait and see what the mechanics say. But as I just paid for the timing belt and water pump to be done, I cant see how this is at all my fault. Its been a right pain in the ass not having a car over xmas and new year....

[tommygr34]

33gtst i just PM'd you

[33gtst]

B1 was in first mate, sorry.

[(B1) MR_fanny]

thanks for the dibs. hope you get your car sorted out in time though.

[33gtst]

no worries, fairs, fair. So do I, I only got the bloody lot replaced so I could feel more comfortable at the event....its amazing how things have a way of biting you on the ass...lol

[Al]

Sorry to hear about your run of bad luck Danielle, especially during this time of the year. Hope all will be sorted before the event.
