Tuesday Morning Drift Sessions @ Queensland Raceway

Next year, in 2009 I have organised a number of Tuesday Morning Drift Sessions and currently have 5 dates booked in throughout the year roughly 1-3 months apart from each other.

The first of which is on Tuesday the 13th of January 2009. Gates open at 7:30 and we will be on track from 8am and finished up by 12pm, with all pit bays empty by 12:30pm in time for the afternoon session. We will be running the Driftorama circuit for the first 2 hours and for the remaining 2 hours we will run the turn 2-dipper track layout and the turn 3-6 track layout.

The cost will be $120 per person, and I have chosen to employ the services of the track paramedic if needed for the morning and will have tow cars on hand also. All payments must be in by Sunday the 4th of January. Please PM me for bank details and any other information please.

Method of payment will be via direct debit or paid in cash to me. No refunds will be given unless the day is called off, however you can sell your spot to someone else if something goes wrong but it is your responsibility to do so and you need to let me know who is taking your spot before the day.

There will be a barbecue afterwards (from 12:30pm) on the grassed area next to the canteen for all drivers, friends and spectators, $1 for a can of soft drink and $1 for a sausage on bread. Make sure you come and have a chat and get to know everyone.

The future dates booked in are:

24th of February

14th of April

3rd of June

21st of July

29th of September

**Note all of these dates are Tuesdays**

If you have any questions can you please PM me and I will get back to you as soon as I possibly can.

Cheers,

Steven Lewis

What would be the most amount of people able to go on a day? Obviously I'm thinking of how much track time to a $ value based on the amount of cars as a large factor in wether or not I'd go.

Also stupid question, thats $120 per day correct?

hey.

so i have a few questions.

if u want to learn how to drift, but dont trust being on track with other cars,

are there any events that include rookies??

or are there any specific 'learn to drift' events? and if not, how do we get that going?? :D

lol

ciao

Yeah $120 per day mate, prices in future may go down if i find i have enough consistent interest.

At the moment im thnking 50 will be my max, i dont know how well i will go at getting that many people anyway. Theres normally 70-80 guys on tack on a friday night so its definately better than that. The guys ive got helping me run the day have done it before and some work most friday night practices so it should run smoothly.

These days are designed for people wanting to have a go at drifting, its a morning of drifting, no competition, just a day to hone your skills and have fun. There will be ample space between you and other cars on the track and if your really worried let the marshall running the start line know and they can give you more of a gap.

Cheers, Steve.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
