JMS Drift Meet - Sat 10/1/04

Wht happened to it? Also yes the r32 rollin was cool. Also was anyone hurt when the S5 crashed into the crowd...?

[CheekyR32]

It was a good display... good effort and looooots of people... but next time.. might be a good idea to have paramedics and fire extinguishers on stand by,... if dave was seriously hurt in the R32 4 door... it would have taken a f**ckn long time to get him to a hospital.. just a thought..,.

[Bl4cK32]

yes - me and me mates go sooo fikin sunburnt. Should have brought the sun block

[Rob]

someone rolled it!?!? .... that is not good, hope no one was hurt..any pics of the car after?

Also someone went into the crowd?

Hmm I think may need to do a safety review by the sounds of it, maybe a few more barrier's in front of the crowd but far enough away from the track so the cars dont hit it if its only a minor spin off.

Also I agree that there should be atleast paramedic's there, and maybe a few volunteers from the local CFS....it sounds like these events are really taking off and I cant wait for the next one in 4 or so months time.. it would be a shame to see the event lost due to someone getting seriously injured or killed.

Just my thoughts,

Rob.

Danny put on a display of Aussie drift at it's best, you've got to give credit for that, pity the car didn't last a few more laps.

[TIMMMAYYY]

I was quite impressed by the commodores actually.. they did suprisingly well, and Simon in his NA 4AGE AE86.

Although, I'd rather see denzo drift that saliva instead of doing a burnout and blowing it up, cos we've all seen tuff burnouts in our day...really didn't do it for me

Was run much better this time compared to last time, 5 on the track @ once is a bit of a task for a lot of amateur drifters on such a small circuit and there were a lot of near misses too.

I had a ball, and I wore Suncream

[kevwrx]

any more pics from the day ???

[MADGT4]

I'll post my pics up ASAP

Did anyone catch the 32 rolling on film cos we JUST missed it cos we were focessed on another car.....

Denzo's car was off its tits and was awesomegot his whole show on film!

And sunburnt god damn tell me about it i got murdered to death!

[JMS]

Yes will have to look at the safety thing a bit more in future. No matter how many times i told the Drivers to take it easy in the first and last Corners they didnt listen. The excitement must get to them?? Think I might have to pull some of them off the Track next time if they dont listen to the first warning. It would be a shame if someone got hurt .

How many times did I also have to stop the meet because of People hanging their Legs over the barriers. After JJ spun off and the rear of his Car hit the wall my heart was pounding everytime I say someone with their legs over.

For those who are interested this site has a bit about the meet also

Well done Terry and the lads for another good day, all went well and the crowd gets bigger every time

[MsSkyline]

I had a great time. Already can't wait until next time. Took heaps of photos

Pity about the sunburn - ouch

[EnricoPalazzo]

im so ****en sunburnt. Dammit.

Also there will always be a problem with safety. The majority of the crowd wer idiots that wouldnt listen to what the organisers where trying to tell them. Also i think some of the drivers on track wer idiots, and driving stupidly at certain corners (refer JMS). But all in all it was a excellent day.

[EnricoPalazzo]

Also huge kudos to the dude with the white ae-86. Mad driving skillz!

[Laurence]

A couple of Skylines in action on the day

[JMS]

Great Shots!!

[TIMMMAYYY]

awesome pics there mate. top work!

[EVOIV]

What about that s14 with s15 headlight conversion? Damn that was a sweet car. It had a Signal logo printed on the engine, does anyone know if this car was really tuned by Signal in Japan? Sweet!! Hope to see that thing drifting at the next one.

[Steve]

Was it a red one with vented bonnet, black roof, widebody kit?

[EVOIV]

Steve: Yes it was a red one, damn clean too!! Had a vented bonnet, and yes maybe it had a black roof too. Not sure about the widebody kit, but the guards did look like they were flared. If it was a widebody, it wasn't wide enough cos about 1" of the rims/tyres were sticking out from the side of the car (when viewed from the front). Looked damn cool like that nonetheless. It's tyres were really stretched over the rims, in true drift style The owner popped the bonnet, had some good mods. Looked like a custom plenum, pipework and low mount turbo from what I could see. Turbo looked decent sized too. Had a HUGE intercooler at the front too

Off the topic, I saw a damn funny car on the day. Well, it looked funny to me...but may look wicked to other people. It was a silver lancer GSR, with twin cannon mufflers...but the mufflers were separate and one was bigger than the other? I love twin cannon mufflers, but if they are the same size. Not when they are different sized. One of my friends said maybe the smaller muffler was for the external wastegate. Uhuh... It just looked kinda strange to me, that's all. But each to their own. Different people have different taste.
