Please encourage your mates to pre-enter too!

Pre-entries are now being taken.

PRE-ENTRANTS WILL HAVE THEIR OWN LINE DURING THE MORNING TO GET ENTRIES DONE FASTER! PRE-PAYING ALSO MAKES THE PROCESS MUCH FASTER!

Acceptable Licenses are: AASA or Cams L2NS - No license means no going on the track!

On the day purchase of AASA license:

AASA license $50

(Can be purchased at the Winton office on the morning of the drift day. This needs to be done before you come into the scrutineering bay to pay and have your car scrutineered as entries will not be accepted without proof of license or receipt of payment from Winton)

Sounds good. Lets pray for no rain. I have no windows lol

[Russman]

I'm in if my car is repaired. Should be. Even if it's not painted.

Good work Adz. I'm pumped. Shotgun a passenger ride!

Hey Yogi/DVSMUM

Might be worth putting up start times and drivers briefing times. I was searching for it last event the night before.

[DinoPanta]

Can't wait..will be my first day back on the track in over a year...and in a new car =)

[Adz]

Yeah what time do gates open?

What time is driver breifing?

Do you have a schedual?

Is it OK if I dont compete in the compitition? Just drive in the practice and qualifying and after the comp?

Sorry for all the questions

[Belsil80]

how many sets of rears would you go through in a day?

[Adz]

One more question

Will there be a tyre fitter?

Number of tyres totally depends on track time, tempreture, cool down time, power, type of tyre.

Im getting 3 sets of cheap and nasties.

[dreadr31]

there should be a tyre fitter at the track

i think 2 new tyres with good camber would last most of the day, with around 200rwkw

all comes down to the hand brake usage and brand of tyre

if i had the coin for new tyres i would buy 4 new 215 45 or 225 17s

but i dont, so ill be taking 6 17''and 2 16'' and a few 15s tyres that cost me nothing

[Russman]

Tyre fitter will be there.

Ryan with your power you'll probably go through 3-4 pairs if they are 2nd hand crappers on a hot day.

Being July and cold you'll probably be fine with 3 pairs of old ones or 2 pairs of newish tyres.

Adz. With you're power and driving style I reckon lots of tyres are in order haha. Can't wait to see it slide!

[DinoPanta]

So how does the day progress??

cant wait for sunday should be good !

[Adz]

Just quietly im having cold feet.

Might just come down for a look see and lend a hand.

[Russman]

Harden up! Don't forget your roots!

haha. Wet weather would be no fun in your car. I didn't enjoy the last drift day when it was wet.

Also they're capping it at 80 cars so everyone entered gets good track time.

[tets]

agree wet day was gayyyy....

also remember to pump your tires to right psi before u get there..

i forgot to and ended up drifting on 15psi tires.. LOLLL

[dreadr31]

wet was fun as

[htial]

I'm confused... ...If I just want to come and watch it's going to cost me $15.oo... ...but my mate in the passenger seat is going to be charged $20.oo???...

[tets]

15 = entry into winton.

+

20 = passenger on the track in a car drifting.

[funkymonkey]

wet was fun.

mud on track was not.

skidding on mud, then skidding on grass, head first into wall was not as much fun.

headbutting each other with helmets on on the roof of aforementioned car that just ploughed head first into the wall... awesome fun.

stripping out all the parts to put into another shell for next drift day. not so much fun.

on average... fun day. sorry if we din get to say bye to everyone, had to take the car back to the shop by 6ish so we left before it finished.

who won the comp?
