YES It’s on again!! Bigger and better than ever.

Driftzone June 27th Drift Competition at Queensland Raceway.

Presented by Driftzone, Queensland Raceway, Ares Speed, Revolution Racegear and Autoshop.net.au

Track entry is from 12 mid day. $10 for spectators.

Action starts at 1.00 pm for practicing, general monkey business and qualifying. Driftcomp in Battle format at 3.00 pm. $100 to enter for all events. First prize is a full bodykit from Ares Speed. Second prize is a K&N pod airfilter from Revolution Racegear and third prize is two of the latest Drift DVD’s from Autoshop.net.au. HPI and Driftbattle magazine, major TV stations and Briz31 will be there filming and taking photo’s. One of the many interstate entries includes the HPI Drift CA project Silvia with over 200kw at the tyres driven by Ben Ellis.

Also competing is Martin White’s over 900hp twin TO4 turbo “Eleanor with boost” 1967 Mustang Fastback. Sort of like “Gone in 60 seconds” but with real power instead of special effects, those of you who saw the car run at the recent Musclecar Shootout can attest to this. Should be very interesting to watch it go up against the SR20’s and Hachi Rocku’s.

Local lads Josh Young still fresh from his second placing at Driftland at Oran Park in his Hachi Rocku recently will be there and Serious Performance 7 coverboy [hehehe] Mike Tyler promises me he will be there although driving a Toyota ‘Carina’?!? [i just hope he is not getting brainwashed] as his green 180SX is still in development. Making sure the competition is fierce, April Driftcomp winner Shane Bingham in his Hachi Rocku will also be there making the “over 9’000 rpm crew” swell in numbers.

Battle format means two cars at once drifting inches from each other in a bid to impress the judges and you, the crowds.

You can now pay for your competitors entry to the event online on the www.driftzone.com website. A fantastic way to secure your spot for a shot at some great prizes. All you need is a credit card.

Also we are going to be having a sign-on day for our new Driftzone Club!! Members will receive exclusive benefits including a Driftzone longsleeved shirt [essential for when you need longsleeves to compete on the track with, or just swanning around at Treasury casino with freinds] , Driftzone full windscreen sized sticker for your car, Exclusive access to the members only section of the www.driftzone.com website, Invites to members only days at Racetracks and skidpans, discounts at club sponsor businesses and lots more. Cost is $100 for 12 months membership.

** Please note, if we could ask those who wish to join Driftzone club to arrive a bit earlier so that we can get this done before the main activities of the day take our resources. Either that or you can also join online at www.driftzone.com instead.

Will be a HUGE day and if it is anything like the last event, the action will be awesome. Remember to keep the 27th of June free and will see you all there!!!!

Some more prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd arrived in the mail today.

DRiiFT clothing has asked that we present the top 3 with one of the BRAND NEW DRiiFT hoodies.

These havent even been officially released yet, so the 3 winners will be some of the first people in the country to try out the new range of clothing from DRiiFT.

Of course, this is in addition to the Streeter by Streeter body kit for 1st, the K&N pod filter from Revolution Racegear for 2nd and the drift DVD's from Autoshop.NET.au for 3rd.

Are the competitor numbers restricted? Can we or do we need to confirm our places prior to the day to ensure we can participate?

The entrants are limited to 50 places, so its worth booking in advance.

You can book online at www.driftzone.com and either pay by credit card, by mail, or pay on the day.

I'm making some changes to the the "Join Now", and "Bookings" sections of the site today to make it more obvious that you dont HAVE to pay by credit card but can just make a booking via the site to save your place.

hey

Was at Qld Raceway this arvo, (before the drags opened) and Darren from Autoshop in 180GO, and Ben Ellis with the drift silvia on the back of the century (100VIP) rocked up for the drift meet tomorrow to sus out the place and take photos.

Pretty cool to meet Ben in person and see the century and silvia. he cooked his rear brakes on the trailer on the way from nsw.

should be a pretty good day tomorrow.

Matty

Well, todays the day peoples. It's gonna be HUGE without a doubt.

We hope to see plenty of you out there, and dont be shy, come and say g'day to us in the pits or over at the judging tent on the back straight. You might get to meet some of the members of "The Startline Club ". LOL

And make sure you get there by lunchtime so you dont miss a second of the action.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
