DR30 drifter on channel ten

[Doctor 30]

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]

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.

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

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.

[Boof]

I heard its back running again, made around the 220rwkw's running 18's on the front and SLEDDED even more then it was before???

Adam i think everyone's car is lower then yours

[Adam_RSX]

Yes.... mine is rather high lol

But I havent had a cop look twice at it and I'm sure its the ride height

[funkymonkey]

His brother dosen't drive the same galant that went head first into the wall on the weekend?

[DR JOSH]

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.

[rsx84]

are we talking about a silver over black dr?? if so then a mate of mine has some footage of this car drifting. i get him to host it so you can have a look?

[Adam_RSX]

It was the legacy that went head first into the wall wasnt it?

[DR JOSH]

This car right here , tow bar and all. This was from the drift practise day on monday just gone. I know it made 238 not long ago but was having heaps of trouble with blowing up computers.

[DR JOSH]

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:

[Adam_RSX]

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!
