Cheers man. That vette pic was a lucky shot as i tend to only go to drift days. I should look into more motorsports in future.

Got some good news a little while ago. Fast Fours will be publishing some pics and a small article I wrote about G1 Round 2 in a future issue. They also asked me to cover G1 Round 3. Sweet.

Congrats man.. Thats excellent news. Hope you get paid or something out of it.. I remember i had a pic published in federal tyres while back and kept asking for a catalogue atleast and got nothing

So my advice.. Make sure you get something in return!!

cheers Sid, yeah will be getting paid. They also recently contacted me about covering DA this weekend so hopefully the start of something good.

and as for the pic you quoted, i always try and get photos of the other photographers at events. not sure why, lol. but it kinda has a 'behind the scenes' feel to it.

Pitlane Performance Private Track Day 2 - 14/09/09

The second pitlane performance private day is one you will probably hear about for a while.

It was an awesome day and a heap of fun. There was however a nasty crash in the morning. Justin in his rotor rolla, well um, rolled.

I was down the other end of the track at the time, and missed it. He walked away with a bit of a sore back, but thankfully no other injuries.

I got to try a couple of new angles and see some awesome drifting.

Cheers to the Pitlane boys for holding the day!

Will add the rest to my site as I get time.

Drift Practice - 17th October 2009

First drift practice since daylight savings started which meant an extra hour shooting. Had a try at a couple new angles and some will definately get a revisit in future. Forgot to change the white balance once the lights turned on so a lot of orangey photos, but oh well, you get that sometimes. lol. Anyway, heres what I got. Will add more pics to my site so check there for more.

Drift School

Finally a school that people cant wait to get to. Mallala hosts the Drift School a couple of times a year and it is always a success. It caters for drivers from the most beginner level who wish to learn car control and basic drifting skills up to advanced / competition drivers wishing to hone their skills in a non competative environment. With the states best drifters doing the teaching you are bound to learn something no matter what your skill. I love watching drivers confidence grow during the day ensuring that the afternoon open practice session often leaves me wondering how so many people can learn so much in the space of a single day. If you have ever wanted to try drifting I highly recommend giving the Drift School a go.

More will be added to my site over the next few days so keep an eye on it. I got at least one decent shot of each car out there, I'll add one or two shots of each person to this thread when I have time.

Private Track Day - 28th October 2009

I started organising a track day and things were not working out how I planned so when Team Truck Factory asked to take it over I thought that it was a good idea. I've been to one of their days before and it was well organised so I knew the day would be in good hands. Thankfully the day went down with only a few minor incidents but damn was it hot! Mallala must also have one of the worst breeding grounds for those tiny little flys that like to get in your eyes, ears and nose. lol. I ended up leaving early cause I had enough of being out in the sun, but got a few pics before I left.

Possibly my worst day shooting at mallala. lol. heat, insects and dehydration = grrrr. haha.

Was a good event although didnt have the same feel as earlier rounds.

Massive congratulations to Jake Jones stepping up and taking out the win!

Well done to everyone else who turned up and drove despite the heat.

So, jumped on a plane and jetted over to Hobart for a squizz at the Oz Drift GP. I had never been lucky enough to see Baskerville Raceway before but I am so glad I went into debt to get myself over there. The track is sick! Cambered corners, elevation changes and so many cool shooting locations all make for an awesome track for drift. Was great to see a few mainlanders quickly getting used to the track and treating it as if it was their local. But to see the locals showing how its done was a sight to behold. Ben Purtell's massive drift around the big corner at the top of the track for the extreme entry competition was a highlight of the weekend for me. Another highlight was getting a shot of Nigel Petrie with massive angle on the end of the main straight. Must say a massive thanks to a fellow photographer David Clifford for picking me up from the airport and giving me lifts out to the track after the other offer I had turned out to be... lol. Anyway, I got there and I took some pics:
