Guest	Re: SUPER AWESOME INCREDIBLE DRIFT DAY !!! Mon, 21 July 2003 01:06 We did go through a few sets of tyres. Jamie was running retreads. Andy just got some second handers (which he kindly lent me) on spare rims and we swapped numerous times throughout the day. the track is heavy on the right hand tyres and so we were rotating for even wear. A couple of sets of tyres delaminated quite early with 50% tread still on them just from heat buildup I assume. It really is a necessity for cars with any sort of grunt to have some spare rear (or whatever the driven end is) tyres. Andy came with some treaded slicks as well to do some times, once he had reset the track record for street rgo'd cars he put the drifters on and went silly. We set the tone of the day - as all of the local club guys were there to test and tune hence neat driving + no smoke, by about lunch time we had super sedans and open wheelers all trying to link corners while bagging the rears. There wasnt supposed to be any prizes for the day but they were so stoked with the spectacle the local valvoline rep went and got us some !! next time i might be able to organise a local tyre shop to open late on saturday to swap tyres on rims etc ready for sunday and round 2. If we go up we could have go to whoa, lap dash as well as drift and other tarmac motorkhana events. there is even a dirt speedway oval if people are keen (this might mean extra cost though).
