KezR33 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Hey guys, I'm heading up to Winton this Sunday for a VicDrift practiced day, I had originally planned to drive up there in the morning and drive back in the afternoon, but I'm unsure how tired I'll be. I was considering spending the Saturday night up there if accomodation were cheap enough. Can anyone recommend some cheap places that one person can stay? I've been googling but most places don't have prices, I plan on calling a few places tomorrow, but any suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers.

Russman Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 not sure for 1 person. leisure park don't like drifters haha. Top of the town is where some guys stay. Executive hideaway probably isn't worth it for 1 person. Look up budget chain.

KezR33 Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 lol I wouldn't call myself a drifter, this is my first attempt. Hopefully I learn something though, may result in a much more exciting (if admittedly slower) DECA.

Russman Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 They might be ok now but I was there last year when VicDrift warned people at the drivers briefing to stop trashing motel rooms and cabins. I was there last weekend and they were hostile and had a go at me saying I should park out on the street if I have a car trailer. I'll never stay there again.

KezR33 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 I ended up driving up and back on the day. It honestly wasn't as bad as I thought, but I'm not going to make a habit of it.

KezR33 Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 yeh keiran seen you there on the learners with me Really? Which car were you in? Where'd you go anyway, all the other learners left at around 2-3pm and I had the entire beginner section to myself. It was great I tried everything from trying different speeds and entries, did donuts, practiced controlled fishtails I learnt more in an hour of being stupid on my own than all my other runs. Only time I stopped was to give the car a chance to cool down. I'd have kept going except for the fact my wheels started to disintergrate. I think stock Supra rims need some sort of washer as the metal around the studs began to deform.
