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.

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!! :rofl:

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.

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 :rofl:

  • 3 weeks later...

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

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 :)

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.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
