Hey, We will be more than likely but for the time being, we have only planned this one. Will post up any details of future events as they become available. Thanks, Emma.

Only one spot left guys!! Be quick!!

Hey guys, We have been asked... so we are answering the call! Finally... a beginner's training day that is open to complete beginner's for their first on track experience, through to slightly experienced/been to archy a few times. We are organising a drift day that will have a maximum of 16 drivers which will be split into two seperate groups... preferably level 1 and level 2 going by experience. All drivers will have a walk around the track to learn the corners and certain points that they should be made aware of. We will have 8 cars on track at one time with an instructor in each car for the duration of their laps giving advice, car setup pointers if need be and also just a bit of friendly advice and shed their experience with you. Donut spots will also be set up for a certain amount of time to learn throttle control... this is great fun and really does help with controlling the revs. The instructors will also be bringing their own cars out on track and you are able to jump in with them to see what they do (eg. when they use handbrake, clutch kick, entries and exits to the turns, etc.) As every instructor will be taking care of only two drivers throughout the day, they will be able to monitor your progress and note areas that need improving. Introducing the instructors: Paul Williamson James Grady Josh Newson Steve Mountfort Dan Jorgensen Jansen Butler Trent Whyte Rob Whyte It will be held on Tuesday 9th September from 5-8.30pm. It is now booked in so we are now able to start taking pre-entries. First 16 payments received will have guaranteed positions on the night. Payments/Bookings received so far: Kate - R32 Jessica - 180SX Andrew - Toyota Mark II Aaron - R32 GTR Brad - RX7 Hiro - 350Z Cost will be $100 per driver and will only be allowed to bring 2 pit crew/spectators with them as this is a beginner's day... we aren't trying to have a huge crowd. This will be a great day that shouldn't be missed by anyone that is wanting to get into drifting with a head start above the rest. You can pre-enter on the Option1Garage website HERE Any questions... fire away! Thanks, Em

Hey guys, Drift practice is still on this Wednesday and as it is a public holiday... we are opening the gates for an extra hour of drifting!! The times for tomorrow will be 2-7pm with the entry fee still remaining $40. Pre-entries will not be taken after 4.30pm this afternoon as no one will be in the office to print them before heading out to the track so it is first in, first served from then on in. There will still be a cap on the number of cars for tomorrow night so head on out early for 5 hours of drifting A great way to spend your public holiday! For more information please see www.option1garage.com.au

Hey guys.. this Saturday we are trying to do something a bit different and more entertaining for the drivers. We know that this comp is inconveniently timed with Driftstate being the next day so we have tried something mixing things up a bit!! So here is how it is going to go: Qualifying will be 3 laps (depending on number of drivers) on each of the 3 different track layouts pictured below. For each layout, the driver's single best run will be taken and added together to create a top 8 who from then will use a battle format on a selected track layout to compete for top positions. Using this format, there will be nearly no one at an advantage as these layouts are very rarely used which will mean it is new for everyone. Please remember that there is about 2 hours of practice at the beginning for everyone to get use to the different tracks. An advantage of using this layout is even if you don't qualify in the competition, you will still receive 9 laps in competition mode to prove yourself with only the top score being taken from each. TROPHIES WILL BE AWARDED FOR TOP 3 POSITIONS ON THE NIGHT!!! Times: 2.15 - Gates open 3.00 - Practice begins (you will receive practice on each of the different track layouts) 5.00 - Competition begins 8.00 - Competition ends and awards Costs: $55 entry for drivers $10 spectators (adult) $5 spectators (child) Drivers please pre-enter HERE to reserve your position on the day! We will also have Truck'n Djs, our professional commentator and the Pro Drift promo girls out on the day too

2008 Supercheap Auto Drift Shootout Following on from our successful series earlier in the year we are proud to announce another one to commence in August with one round a month through to the Final in December. We have secured Supercheap Auto as a naming rights sponsor for the series!! With $10000 in Prizemoney and Product up for grabs over the series and with a Traditional Battle format there is going to be plenty of action! The dates have been set and will be: August 9th Saturday September 26th Friday October 17th Friday November 14th Friday December - TBA Prizemoney will be allocated at the series end as follows to be paid at the Presentation to be held at Option1Garage at a date to be announced 1st Place $2000 cash $1000 to spend at Supercheap Auto 2nd Place $1000 cash $1000 to spend at Supercheap Auto 3rd place $1000 4th Place $750 5th Place $500 6th Place $400 7th Place $300 8th to 9th Place $250 ea 10th to 12th Place $200 ea 13th to 15th Place $150 ea 16th to 20th Place $100 ea To Enter the series you must comply with the following conditions Scrutineering will be as follows: Battery Securely mounted Oil catch can fitted or breather vented to intake No oil or water/coolant leaks from vehicle Seats and seat belts securely bolted in - harness for driver preferred (but not essential) Fire Extinguisher fitted and securely mounted in the vehicle Car presented in tidy condition - no primer and body kits fitted Driver to have a driving suit or overalls and enclosed shoes must be worn Helmets must be worn - to be presented at scrutineering and have Aust. Stand AS1698 As we are trying to put on a show here presentation of cars and drivers must be of a high standard - if you are not sure if you will qualify please contact us to find out. Format for Events The field will be divided into two groups of 16 cars seeded on past results at Archerfield at the organisers discression – Group 1 will be the more successful and experienced group , Group 2 will be the remaining drivers entered. To get a top 32 battle tree for the competition each group will randomly draw a number from 1 through to 16 and that will be their first battle. So who draws number one in Group 1 will battle who draws Number 1 in Group 2 and so on down to 16. The reason for this is we do not have the time to Qualify drivers at each round. By splitting the groups for the Top 32 we are achieving a more realistic battle tree whereas the top qualifier usually gets the bottom qualifier in the first round. Cars will be on track for an hours practice at the start of the event, this will be followed by a driver's parade and then straight into the battle rounds. As always we will run approx 1hour at the end of the night as an expression session for some fun. There will be no compulsory passenger rides at the end of the night, we will arrange this with drivers who are happy to do them on the night. You will be able to take out passengers in the expression session. Series Pointscore Points will be awarded as follows for each round 1st 25 points 2nd 22 points 3rd 20 points 4th 18 points 5th > 8th 14 points 9th > 16th 8 points 17th > 32nd 5 points Entries for the Series If you would like to enter the series go to the Archerfield page on the Option1Garage web site and fill in the pre enter form.

Look at any DA entry to see what we are trying to do. We will also have 2 Supercheap Auto stickers to go on the vehicle at our discression . All of these will be fitted by the organisers at the first round and must be present on the vehicle at every round following. If removed you will have to purchase more. Cost will be kept to a minimum and charged at our cost price so that no profit is added on. There will be no exceptions - If you have not paid or the numbers/stickers are not there you don't run!
