SFHS Hits Banzai - Report (LONG WINDED)

[inark]

Well... i may have been the only Super Fun Happy Slider out there giving it a go but regardless there was always a lot of support from people not only from Melbourne but from interstate drifters as well.

All i have to say after this weekend is that if you are into drift and you havent given it a go and want to get into it. Get out there to the practice nights and give it a go.

It had to have been the best time i have ever had in a car with support from people in Skylines, Sprinters, Silvias, 180s and even commonwhores and Mazda 929s.

Everyone in the pits was more than helpful in lending a hand and i have to personally thank Mick from EXMods for all his help and Dr Drift and Jarius for all the driving and handling tips which i started to get the hand of towards the end of the last practice session on the sunday.

As some may have already read in the short posts i ended up teaming up with NZD1 driver Jarius Wharerau to enter the comp as i was satisfied and happy with what i had achieved in the practice rounds and wanted to get some footage of my car being driven hard by someone i know can drive and drive bloody well. Some people might have seen Jai in action before in a few DVDs etc.

Jai has to be one of the most down to earth and nicest guys ive ever met. He was more than happy to take my pig out for a solid thrashing (hahaha man that just sounds wrong) in my place, the only issue was the amount of tyres i had. Knowing i wouldnt go through more than one set i didnt bring any more than 4 wheels with tyres on em but knowing what Jarius can do this was going to be an issue.

Thanks to Gareth from J-Spec for the money for tyres even tho we didnt need em in the end which was just wrong!!!! Also both Gareth and Craig and Munkeh too i spose for the transport of the car to and from Calder for the event.

Well i will get straight to the good stuff... heres a few pics and vids of CEF-ZLA in action.

I've got a few pictures of the day that my cousin took with his camera, ill attach them to my post. The Banzai drift event was a great day out and great to see some legit drifting competitions going around Aus. Was very enjoyable to watch. inark, your car looks very PHAT in real life, beautiful machine. The NZ guy driving it done some great drifts with it. My cousin made a video compilation aswell and its on my PC atm, but its 45meg and ive only got 56k connection, and i cant upload it anywhere, so sending it to someone might take a while....Anyway here are a few pictures:
