DRIFTZONE DRIFTDAY COMP MARCH 6th

Drivers to be signed on by 12 on the track at 1pm.

DriftZone's next drift day on the 6th of March at Queensland Raceway, Willowbank is going to be our first competition for 2005 and will be using the new drift course up at turns 1 & 2.

At this stage, we have some details to finalise, but prizes will be on offer for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and an encouragment award for the most improved driver of the day. Points will be awarded to the top 10 drivers in the competition that will accumulate over the year towards a grand prize at the end of the year.

The competition will be running on the high speed drift course starting with turns 1 & 2, then heading into the dipper and left around turn 4 onto the centre straight.

At this stage (yet to be finalised) we will be making a top 16 for the competition based on the early practice runs and then starting the competition at approx. 3pm.

Free practice will then continue on the old drift track (starting at turn 3) for those that dont make the top 16. This way, everyone gets to have plenty of laps whether you make the top 16 or not.

Prices for the day still havent changed and are:

$100 entry per car (including one driver),

$50 for an additional driver in the same car,

$10 refund of gate entry if ticket stub is produced at sign up (first driver only).

Entry to the competition is included in this price for those drivers that make the top 16.

Drivers that make the top 16 will be notified during the course of the day and asked whether they wish to compete or not. If a driver decides not to compete they will be able to continue free practice on the old drift track.

NOTE: If you elect to not compete you WONT be able to change your mind later as the drift tree will be drawn up with the top 16 confirmed drivers as early as possible.

Lets try and get as many people out there on the 6th of March spectating too as now is the time for us to really show that drifting in Australia is becoming accepted as a mainstream motorsport alternative.

*UPDATE*

The competition is confirmed and so is first prize.

First place will be a voucher from Streeter by Streeter for Slideways Aero Parts.

Second and Third places (and the encouragement award) are yet to be finalised so keep your eyes open for more updates

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
