Drift Australia to come to WA?

[Steve]

Hi guys,

I dont know if many of you are aware, but Drift Australia is the new national drift series that is now up and running. They have just put up a website http://www.driftaustralia.com.au/index.asp which is looking pretty damn good, it even has the dates of the comps and the dates of the telecasts - SBS are telecasting the comps :headspin:

It appears that they are looking at getting a round going in WA, perhaps in 2006!

Anyways, I encourage anybody who may be iterested in drift, to check out there site. Maybe one day, drift will start to get the support and recognition here that it does in the east. Can only hope.

its good to see drifting getting up and running in australia now we just have to wait for it to come to perth

[exhale 32]

Haha nice, might have to start saving for a bunky drift mobile

yeh it will be interesting for Full Lock series and for the Drift Australia series to get up together.

its proving interesting for some over in the eastern seaboard... to decide which to get into.. one is invite and the other is open to all

i say bring it on!!

Then you would just need somewhere to drift it.

Shame no one here lets people go thrashing - scared the cars might 'damage the track' - shame the tracks here are so much worse than the ones east that they get damaged. excuse sarcasm

I suppose that will cause some problems too, for the series to compete over here, they need somewhere to drive, a good track which isnt hours drive from no where.

[miss_petepie]

yeh hence why they said 2006.. gives us enough time to work out our shit and get it done... and gives them enough time to organise it..

but stuff is being sorted as far as the track issues go

[Steve]

any more info on the track side of things? It would be sooooo good to have somewhere to go thrashing regularly.

[miss_petepie]

i have seen a layout of it but its only a rough course outline..

from what i have been told is things are moving nicely.. and yeh.. thats all that can be said really..

[Steve]

You tease!

[miss_petepie]

hahahahaha

nah i only know limited information.. i was told the other night.. but im not telling anything else i know on it..

everyone will find out when the deal is sealed and done..

[Steve]

Are we talking hold our breath, or next year ++++

[miss_petepie]

not sure... i wasnt privvy to that information and im not gonna say anything else on it

especially on an open forum

-pie

[Steve]

dammit

[Cake]

One day.... one day

i would love this to happen

drift is currently non-existant in Perth

[Steve]

Oh, and they are offering a free intercooler to the 100th person to register as a member on their forums - hmm, might have to knock up a few hotmail accounts

[Black-Beast]

Fully sick, finally.

[SideWaysChef]

I'm so keen to start on some regular drifting in perth.

I just bought a a cefiro which is a total drift pig.

can wait to test it out on a track

does anybody know if the still orginise drift days down at the collie race track

[miss_petepie]

Alan they are currently re-doing the track at Collie (resurfacing and changing layout) and so the track is out of action for a bit..

we are holding a Competition in September and details can be found in the Events section.

there is a training day in Collie on the 19th of June but that is fully booked out and their is a waiting list..

other than that there is nothing

[SideWaysChef]

Are you serious

nooooooooooooooooooo

what am i going to do

its like im being forced to terrorise the streets of perth

:flamed:

oh wells guess i will just have to wait then

[Steve]

Perhaps we should lobby the govrnment to build a drift track and skid pan, or provide a place to go thrashing - just like legal street events.

There seems to be lots of skate board tracks around, so it appears dollars can be found to build facilities when the demand arrises - if they want to that it?

Can but dream, but it would be something positive in the fight against street hoons, just like the skate board track came about to keep kids off the street.
