IDA drift day at Eastern Creek Skid Pan 18/06/05

From the IDA site
Initial Drift Australia will be holding another of its hugely popular Skid Circuit days at Eastern Creek on the 18/05/05.
The relaxed day of drifting starts off with the morning wet session (From 9am-1pm) and then progressing through to the dry afternoon (From 1pm-5pm). This is a good day for first timers who are not confident in their skill, start out on the wet track hone your skills and then make the switch to the dry track. This is great to get to know the dynamics of your car and predict how it will react on a dry track.
For the more experienced drifters, this is a great opportunity to get some practice time in before the 3nd Round of the NSW Drift Championship. Final setups can be decided on and the extra track time is a bonus to get your skills fine tuned.
Numbers are limited to around 20 cars per session with preference given to members.
Track Fees are as follows:
Non Member Half Day $75
Non Member Full Day $130
Member Half Day $60
Member Full Day $100
CAMS Day License $20
Members can purchase a YEARLY CAMS license for $46 (must be a member of a CAMS affiliated club)
You can join on the day for $170 and apply for license ($120 yearly membership $50 administration fee).
As per usual head to toe coverage in a non flammable material is a must, along with your helmet (AS1698).

Hey indi
Im trying to get my shite in a pile to get out there. Im cutting it pretty fine, i only just got the front suspension in late last night, and ive still gotta bleed the brakes, and sort out a few other minor issues before i can drive it, and i still have to run in the LSD  Hopefully go for a drive tonnight, and see if everything beds in ok (new LSD, new susp, new brakes etc.)

hehe stock suspension rocks not, i remember the poor rona, was hang on to anything you could for passengers if i went thru a round about with any speed. Whats that the door sills are touching the ground and the other side has about 2 feet of clearance.
Be afraid be very afraid if i rock up cos i will come in tow with my camera and anything that happens will be caught on film.
Still tossing up whether i should come and have a geezer and take some photos. That will give me all day sunday, monday and tuesday night, all day wednesday and thursday and half a day friday to study.
Hmmm *thinks about sneekingly removing steelies from backyard and bring them out to eastern creek*, not yet though.

This was such a great day! I had so much track time that now my whole body is aching and I'm completely exhausted! Still I cant wait to go drifting again next weekend at Fatz Drift Day 
It was great finally getting sideways in my own car instead of having to borrow John's, many thanks to those who made it possible Steve, John, Kris and Keven for all helping install my 2-way LSD and to Beau for giving me his spare tailshaft  Yay for hachi drivers!!!!
I can't wait to see some photos of my boat drifting
It was good to meet Lucid in person too, although I'm sorry I didnt get much of a chance to talk to you I hope you enjoyed the day too!

Hi,
No - I don't think it was me. I did have a mate with me who may have said something, but I'm not sure sorry!
