Doctor 30 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 who was the guy in the DR30 drifting at Calder on channel 10 today?? For those who didn't see it he got knocked out in the first round but it was great to see a DR30 competing. I think channel 10 should have done more of a segment on it but I might just be a little bias. There was only 1 non nissan which was a v8 holden ute.

r31 Koop Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 he was from SA, an there was a full day of qualifying on the sat, so to just get through to sunday (what was on tv), is quite hard. 16 out of 50 competitors qualifyed.

Adam_RSX Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 It was Tom Monkhouse. His car is fuuuuuucking low, I swear it sits about 4 inches lower than mine. The judging was shithouse going by a lot of what I saw today, he was pre-apexing better than the S13 and seemed to be getting the last corner better too. His brother Jack runs in the ARC in a Galant, he usually shows up at SA drift days, used to bring his 180B rally car and then brought a VR4 converted to run rwd for drifting for one or two days at Mallala Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/71372-dr30-drifter-on-channel-ten/#findComment-1316770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR JOSH Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Yep i'd say Tom too I'm good mates with him, however I didnt see the show. Adam my DR sits a bit lower then Tom's. I want his number plates. Last I heard it made a bit over 200rwkw, however it wasnt back when that comp was on, it was still at around 140.

DR JOSH Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 It quite possibly could have been?? haven't heard a word about it how ever. Was it white absolutely dumped with 1800-nothing-suss stickers on it? I think there may have been a rally on over that weekend though because I heard this weekend he finished 1st over all in his newly aquired evo 8, not sure if that was this week or the week before. Spewin if it is. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/71372-dr30-drifter-on-channel-ten/#findComment-1320339 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR JOSH Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 This car right here , tow bar and all. This was from the drift practise day on monday just gone.

DR JOSH Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Yes.... mine is rather high lolBut I havent had a cop look twice at it and I'm sure its the ride height Tom's car has been slammed for almost as long as he has owned it 2 years now, I know because he got his the same week mine got complied. He has had one defect for bald tyres which he got of at the cop shop no worries. Cops looked at my car a lot the day I drove it round with the gearbox and rails 50mm off the ground but that was just stupid and I didnt have the c-spanners to adjust my coil overs. I reckon my car got complied a lot lower than your car :wassup: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/71372-dr30-drifter-on-channel-ten/#findComment-1320414 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_RSX Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I guess I may as well lower it..... its still not high enough to clear the sump over rocks anyway So you managed to get it through Regency with the coilovers in!
