pretty sure this is right,
this is the session i am most likely to attend so far, so i wonder what my excuse will be this time.
need a helmet and steering wheel spacer, probably one of them.
whos coming? whos entering? whos cheering?

Hey Wombat,
What car did you pick up today?
I should have my LSD rear end in by then so i reckon the 4AC will need some more punishment,
Should be good!

Helmet: $70 THH open face from almost any motorbike shop
Spacer: Get in touch, I have a ~50mm chunk of alloy perfect for this sitting around.
I'll probably be there too.

i want a closed face, as i want to keep my teeth and can stick a funny mouth with teeth sticker on it. Clayton got one for 100, which i think is pretty good, if i buy the same color then we can drive one car and pretend to be the same person  just hope they come in "huge" sizes.
chunk of alloy you say? is it round? what diameter? by my calculations, 2 inches would bring the wheel back to the standard position, i was going to aim for 3 inches but anything would be better than what i'm using now.

well my headgasket is in the right way, and seems like i haven't completely fucked anything up - so I be entering unless something dodgy i've done to my car in the past and forgotten about fails suddenly.
my advice... if it rains... don't be a spectator, enter your car no matter what it is... at least you won't get wet but you will have fun!
jezza, hope your lsd finds its way in your car in time... i hope my locked diff is still locked...

picked up another Ke-20. makes 3 now. this one is becoming a replica of my dads old Rally car, with a few extra bits and piece. Keeping the 3k, but I have a manual on how to make it into a full race spec engine. so hopefully a little gusto out of the tiny thing. but I was also thinking of setting it up for a little drift action. of course I need to learn how to drift properly first.
I race under 2 litre sports sedan, but that's completely different to drifting.
Yeah $10 can't go wrong really.
You'll have to let me know what cars you guys have so I can come up and say hi

I think you may be suprised. If you know how to control a car and aren't scared by a bit of oversteer then it really is a big benefit.
I'm biased though, I think everyone should get out there and give it a go... also just imagine the S13 guys:
"That little thing's great, what turbo does it run?"
"None"
"And how big is the engine?"
"1.1 litre"
"No shit, well you must've got some big cams in it then"
"Well, maybe one big cam"

I used the same advice as you on myself and yeah LSD maybe.......If not...I need rain and a welder.
Wombat: I am in a very low blue sprinter with superlights on it. If I am indeed not in the car and perhaps walking around, I am big, have blond hair and generally looking more scary the more I rug up!
Come on out.

My car is similar to Rallystanza's,
except most of the paint has fallen off and its not low.
I am tall (though not as tall as henn, but then nobody is) will most likely be wearing a desert cammo hooded jacket, and like long walks on the beach and candlelit dinners.

How does it work if you enter?
I assume you pay your cash money and que your cars up and take turns on the track.
What safety gear you gotta have?
Not really intrested in practicing (YET....  )

to enter you just rock up to the gate and ask for one to practice, should cost 80 bucks.
Then you drive through to scrutineering which is near the tire bloke + fuel pumps. they check to see if theirs anything loose inside your car and if your cars leaking like a siv and your baterys clamped down, basicly their very lenient.
after that you can goto pits and do whatever u like to ur car.
once you got your car sorted out you can goto either the beginers section which is at the end of the main straight or the main track.
saftey stuff = Long sleeve shirt + pants, helmet, no loose or sharp objects in the car and umm thats it

thanks.
now I know what cars you drive, I can come up and say hi. I guess now I also know what your into...which is kinda scarey. No more long walks for me.
I'm a bigish guy 6 foot tall short brown hair, and if it ain't raining I'll be the fool in shorts.
but sounds good.
I'm with you Henn.

Well my sprinter will be in the pits, parked with a awesome engine and a single spinner diff.
So yeah, Diff aint ready, cash aint flowing.
Will be there to specdate. Me and Shtocky should be there, just look for the 2 guys with their scrotes and knobs scraping on the ground, thats us.....pretty hard to miss.
Any how,
See y'all there,

well guys. that was very entertaining tonight. was worth the $10.
So who were the guys in the sprinters? one looked kinda brownish, and one was blueish.
couldn't tell to well from up on the hill in the dark.
but overall good night.

Devo, just remembered, for the fronts, drain out existing oil in wet leg and replace with diff oil. Voila, "heavy duty" shocks for $20, and not dodgy at all.
I was in the brown Sprinter. Had fun with some big entries, but felt I was doing better at the start of the night than at the end. Scored a $30 gift voucher and 4 litres of oil for coming second though... just about replaces the oil I would have leaked/burnt during the night.
And Jezza, sorry if you or Shtocky were injured, I ran over something down the main straight and I now realise what it must have been. Ouch.

did i get any to work at all? it nearly all felt like garbage from inside the car.
need to do the flick a bit harder, but i chickened out a bit after i slammed the ripple strip.
gotta try the handbrake a bit more too. next time!
just checked my tyres, no flat spots unless i parked on them.

It was good to watch. It hurt inside not being able to actually be back on the track again ..... but all in due time.
The craziest car award would have to go to the Chasers 180sx.
That thing is unbelieveily loud! And back fires like crazy! Sounded like chinese new year eveytime it went past!
Oh and did any get a chance to see the interiour on the black 180 with the v-mount setup? If your into stripping your car, this car is inspirational! Bar galore, not even a dash.. just a bar that holds for guages?!
Heres a picture of the only thing in the car besides the bars.

Those dodgy photos are of Nigel Petrie's car. Totally stripped interior, drivers seat and wheel sit about a foot further back than normal, entire car dewired etc etc. The nicest drift car ever to see the track in Australia in my opinion. Always at showcar standard yet drifts well and Nigel knows how to drive it and to top it off he's a nice guy too. He also did most of the work himself.
