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.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
