what about spectators Sam?

whats the go there?

i'd be keen to come and watch

[Dr_Drift]

Spectators more than welcome, passengers by appointment only

[inark]

ive got my cameras ready

will see if i can borrow someones headrest mount as well.

[AutoTrust]

What are the requirements as far as safety and liscensing?

I would need surgery to fit into my car with a helmet!!

[Scotsman]

Who/What is the $25 membership fee for?

Is this event covered by any motorsport bodies eg: CAMS?

[Dr_Drift]

The $25 covers membership to Gippsland Car Club for drift events only, this allows for the public liability insurance through CAMS.

Safety - There will be extinguishers around the track, but one in your car is highly preferred, helmets are essential.

[Scotsman]

The $25 covers membership to Gippsland Car Club for drift events only, this allows for the public liability insurance through CAMS.

So if you already have a current CAMS L2S then this is not required?

[Dr_Drift]

No, you have to be a member, this is not for a CAMS licence, and as such it is insured through cams for members only. Sorry for the confusion.

[Scotsman]

I'm confused. I thought it either was a CAMS event fully covered by CAMS or wasn't. Either way I will be happy to pay if the event is good.

Is morwell a good place for drifting? I haven't been their before, but I was under the impression that it was a thin track, with tight corners. No much good for big boat GTR's

[inark]

big boat GTRs arent exactly easy to drift in the first place... ud be better off in ur gem

hmmmm if i can scrape the money up for it i might be able to bring the ceffy.

do u have to go thru any scrutineering sam?

if not... will make it much easier

[Scotsman]

GRID Torque Split.... GTR's can drift fine. I'll show you.

[inark]

lol i see

u can even do FWD drift with the GRID splitter 100% front haha

my ceffy is far more of a boat tho

[Laurence]

With a HICAS lock it should be fine.

One of the local boys slides his R33 GTS-t around Morwell very nicely.

[Scotsman]

So who is actually thinking of going to this event?

This would be my first drift event, i'm hoping I have enuf car control and balance to make the R look good.

[inark]

would be the first time i would be attempting to drift on a track... just have to organise a trailer to get the car there.

[R31Nismoid]

im planing to drive down pending Race Pace tomorrow/thurs

my car is playing up again due to what i think is turbo related (the only thing ben hasnt touched lol)

[Dr_Drift]

In full RWD the R should drift nicely..... check out drift battle issue 3.... I was drifting the white ceffy on the cover... the photo's were taken at morwell so it shoul give you some idea...

[inark]

Alex might be bringing a tyre machine so that should be all good! will also have a heap of second hand tyres for people to use at a good price.

I am just trying to organise a trailer... i dont wanna risk driving all that way with no rego or plates.

[Scotsman]

Will this event still go ahead in the rain? How are numbers looking?
