Hey guys,

After watching a skidpan session at Mt Cotton (was cruising past and saw a couple of R34's), i am keen to have a go and learn some stuff at one for myself!

I am a complete newbie to drifting and any kind of crazy 'advanced' driving, and expect to be pretty shit... is there any requirement knowledge/experience wise or am i right to jump in and give it all a go?

Thanks guys!

Jump in at the deep end and give it a go. Thats what I did

Before my first night out all I had to help me was Initial D, youtube videos and general reading about how to. I went out in Josh's old r32 for a lap just to get a bit of a feel for how things were going to go and then off I went by myself.

Obviously first time expect to spin out like a crazy man on drugs but thats arguably just as much fun as drifting.

I suppose you could have someone teach you but I must say I love everytime I try doing something on track different and having it work makes me feel warm and fuzzy

[homedog56]

Looks like soon enough ill have a car that i can come out on QR with

Would love to jump in someone elses car for a lap one night!

[Sloane]

any of you guys want to cruise up with say about 5 other cars?

we leaving from burleigh heads at 1:30 on the dot for a early start.

how much would a tow truck cost to bring back to brisbane CBD area i dont think my clutch would last the night hehe. Almost tempted to give it a go tho. How many people usually attend? how many cars aloud on track at a time? how much track time do you actually get for you money?

Sorry for the questions, just keen to get some info.

Cheers Jason

No idea on towing costs but I'd assume a couple hundred.

There is usually around 30 cars? They are all allowed on track at the same time but not in the drifting areas. You line up before the start of each of the two tracks.

$80(if you already have licence) 3.5hrs - 4hrs. Generally do 1 lap every 5mins or so.

dont know how much for a tow truck lol

as for how many people go a good 50 cars from what ive seen each time ive gone.

cars on track can be lots as they have lights and people to direct the traffic on the track.

as info above says you should get 4-5ish hours on track.

if you really want more official information call the number above.

1800 RACERS

hope to see you out there

Well that was a f*kload of fun I can't figure out why I haven't been out on track in 3 months...

Unfortunatly my left front strut has a leak of sorts and is f*ked Also picked up a crack in the front bar from a bunch of tyres

And omg, I still can't beleive Noel brought out his skyline the crazy f*ker. My back is hurting from that lol

Couldnt agree with you more. I was the fool out there trying to slide on 18" chromies, id imagine most people would of had a chuckle at that!

Is noel the older fella with the 500+hp 33?

[ToMMaH]

Actually I did see you out there.

Yeah he is. aka, Fineline on here.

aight, yeah i was talking r/c cars with him for abit, nice guy!

how many sets of tyres did u go through tom?

[ToMMaH]

Lol. I don't have the power to burn through tyres it's great lol. 1 set of brand new tyres and they are on canvas now. I got them for free as well so $0 spent on tyres last night.

As soon as my court case bullshit is over and I can spend my saved $ on the car i'll be going through sets like a crazy man.
