Pre-Entry is available and is now compusory to reserve your spot for the day. Not only does it save you money, it also saves time in the morning as you only have to show your cams/aasa license, pay (if you didnt pre-pay) and collect your arm bands! How easy is that!

Please encourage your mates to pre-enter too!

(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)

i think ill give drifting a try this time.. Before that all i need is different tyres,fire extinguisher,cams license and a sau vic membership rite??

[Habler]

Either that or just buy an AASA licence for $50 on the day. Vicdrift is AASA and CAMS affiliated.

[Zaver]

Dam Winton is further than Shepparton also.. And i forgot i need a Helmet aswell rite?? If i take the AASA license can i use it for circuit days at winton and other circuits also??

[funkymonkey]

the S13 that Rush put into the wall at the last comp day is all fixed now. So we'll be there again so Rush can put it into the wall again.

It's about the same distance as shep. Yes you will need a helmet and AASA only good for some tracks such as winton, not all.

Good stuff!

[Habler]

Like Russman said it's only good at a few tracks. If your thinking of doing more events outside of drifting at Winton(only drift track in Victoria atm), Cams and SAU membership is the way to go.

Just a reminder as well - DON"T FORGET TO PRE-BOOK!!!!! numbers are going to be cut at 70 and entry on the day is not guaranteed apparently. It is also cheaper to enter early.

[Zaver]

Just finished Pre booking.. Hope my SAU membership falls through in time to get my Cams license!!

Pray for me

[Zaver]

Hey guyz, This is my first time drifting so i wanted to know if 2 tyres are enough for the day or will i need 4??

And do they fit tyres onto the rim there are winton as after the day ill have to put back my normal tyres on the rim.... And should i be removing my fron bumper??

[Russman]

Only take off your bumper if it is low. Should be fine though.

Tyre needs depends on power and how hard you're gunna go. If it's you're first time 2 used pairs may do or 1 decent set. Tyre changer is there all day. Doesn't balance though and it cost 10 bucks a tyre.

[Zaver]

I think ill leave the bumper on... And i guess 2 tyres will be enuf since they have pretty descent thread also.. ill get them changed before going there...

[Zaver]

Doesnt look like there are going to be many at this event!!! Has anyone pre booked ??

And aftr i change the tyres for drifting should i get them balanced as well?

[Russman]

Don't bother balancing drift tyres but you should do them for the road tyres. They don't do this at winton though. Only tyre changing.

Have a look on nissansilvia.com there are heap on there that will be going. Probably about 60+ cars.

[Habler]

Yeah, last I read there was only 15 or so places left. Will probably be a full turnout.

[Zaver]

Was just looking at the NS thread and it looks like its gonna be house Full... Im glad to know that there is a newbie track there with 2 corners where i can learn!!! Will just need someone to Guide me...

So do i just ask someone there to guide me or how does it work??

Its my first time drifting, so i wanna do it the correct way!!

[Habler]

Everything is explained on the day. Don't stress about all the small stuff. Have a read over the vicdrift website as there is plenty of info of what you'll need for your first track day then just get yourself there.

Don't forget to just have a thrash and some fun on the day
