Drift Nationals Rnd 4 - 29-30th Oct - Oran park

So the nationals have rolled around to Oran park again. Over the weekend of October 29th and 30th.
Come on down if you're into such things, there will be the occasional Toyota mixing it with the Nissans.
Usually practice and qualifying on Sat and top 16 battles on Sunday though I am not 100% sure on details yet. They can most likely be found at www.fulllock.com. I'd recommend Saturday for spectators as you get to see more cars and plenty of crazy action.

I paid my entry fee and faxed my form off yesterday, so I'll definately be there. Should be entertaining to say the least
Oran Park drift nats holds a lot of poignant memories for me from last year.

So I've finally sorted out who's convoying up and booked accom, so I will be seeing everyone there. Should be a choice weekend.
Is it true we will be using the tight Driftland circuit? Or will it run on the same course that DA used?

PS if anyone has some good leads on 195/50 15 drift tyres in Sydney then please let me know. I have very little good stuff to bring up.

Cool, that's probably an advantage for us in the underpowered Corolla brigade.

I might be buying some new front tyres on Friday, if John doesn't want the old ones I'll sell them to you if you're interested. They are Yokohama C Drives 195/50/R15 not enough tread for the front but they have plenty if you want them for the rear.

I'm led to believe it's going to be on the tighter circuit, not the full oran park....

Nope wasn't cancelled, the track got very wet though, and flooded for a while when a drain got stuck. Plenty of great action, all my pics will be up on www.driftkings.com mid week, until then here are a few...
Also, nice to meet you Indi, maybe I'll get to see you throw your Sprinter around next time.
That V8 won the whole event by the way...I hate to say it but the guy did an awesome job. Was good to see plenty of AE86's and even a MKII Chaser out there.
If those 2 sprinters are anyone from Toymods I can axe the plates if you like, or if you want a full quality pic just PM me.(They are 3MB each)

Sorry, no closer pics of the MKII. I've got more of it drifting though. Usually I wander the pits and get more pictures, but it was just raining so hard....
I was quite a sissy and stayed in the one spot, all day.....it was undercover though

Clicking on the link doesn't take me anywhere. I had a look at the site anyway & there are no recent photo's of Greg's car. I want to see it with the new graphics.

I think he got the overheating problem sorted, or at least it wasn't a major problem on the day, it was his new control arms causing him problems. They had some sort of tabs on them which prevented the wheels from turning to full lock.

Well the new control arms were a consequence of the accident so I guess you could say that but he had everything fixed before drift nats.

I really don't see what was wrong with that Sprinter, I thought it looked pretty tidy?
Here's another one I snapped at the Autobahn Drift Nats. a little earlier in the year.
