Learning To Drift

[oweban]

in all seriousness you are just going out there to do skids and look cool and have a laugh and enjoy yourself like everyone else

This quote personifies texi!

[Duncan]

not shutdown at all mate, just trying to share what I've learned over years of running a race car, and watching other people trying to race/drift/rally seriously.

the full on stuff is hgely expensive, but there are cheap ways to give your car a thrashing instead

[Tats]

Dude.... don't ask questions, just enter the Texi.

As Duncan said if you can't justify the very very minimal cost of Texi, you're going to struggle with anything more intensive.

I've decided to take up the sport called spectating. Who would like to offer me a ride in their car during a texi run?

bring the clothes and helmet, and jump in for a ride with me.

[NYTSKY]

Then you will wish you should have entered

I would haha. just cant afford to fix anything if anything was to happen or needs replacing.

Legit question, would I need to pay for entry as well as AASA license if I was to just spec?

[luke gtr]

watching is completely free.

i believe, riding along is also free.

just have to sign the paperwork.

[oweban]

no fee at all for spectating. you only pay if you drive, or if you want to eat a sausage sizzle as a spectator

No screamer = no power for me, but still gunna go Texi and make an ass of myself... Jut enter your car and drive to whatever limit you feel? You don't have to drift or do skids, just enjoy and learn your car

[evil_weevil]

I'll spec the first one so I can get a little intro to what texi really is and know what to expect for next time! Where on these forums can I find texi events?

We plonk a course down in witches hats, you get it on a piece of paper - memorise as best you can, drive it, have fun, if you f**k it up, slam pedal to floor for smokeshow

We've had a Barina Spark out there before, just going for times - he beat me once in the battles in the wet NO TRACTION!

Here's an example of a past course:

lol....

p.s. unless you get a engine cutout defender thingo ie: stops the car from stalling when handbrake is applied fast you cant use the handbrake in an auto without going into neutral, using handbrake then going back into gear.

What? Is this a skyline thing or something?

Every auto I've driven avoids stalling when you lock the drive wheels with this thing called a stall converter/torque converter... It works similar to putting the clutch in when you pull the hand brake on a manual... Advantage to auto, keep your foot on the throttle... So long as your handbrake can hold the power the engine is putting out...

i spectated my first texi, cause i only owned my car for a few weeks and it was soooooooo shit, had to wait 4 months for the next one, seriously, i would have paid 35 dollars for just 1 run, wont do shit to your car and is mad fun.

you dont have to do burnouts or handbrakies, just drive, learn how far you can turn your car before it slides, learn how fast it can change directions, its a great thing to do before you go on a track and on the public roads!!

but its your own decision dude.

you can hit me up for a ride, but youll have to fight between my gf and my mate

[MBS206]

Hey Jarrad, if I come up, can I drive your car?

haha thanks for the offer man! much appreciated. i don't think i'll be able to head out to this texi on the 15th. planned a day out with my mates to penrith for some lunch. would be bit late by the time i rock up

[GoldZilla]

Pffft, the Nirimba campus is only half an hour away from Penrith, so come early, watch people having fun (and even jump in for a ride with someone), then head to lunch.

Problem solved!
