Formaula Drift Nationals Rd 2, Oran Park, 1st Oct

[Flaps]

Yeah great day, i have never seen so many R32 Gts-t's in once place. I counted 9 when i left at the oil down (6.30).

I saw that green commi stuck in the fence, how did that happen?

Was an awsome day and some top drifting, i thought the judges were a bit harsh sometimes but im a novice. Quote of the day "Thats a 6, yeah a 6 for me too".

Some pics:

i was there, i loved the capa 7 litre monaro that was insane, 840bhp, sounded awesome!!!!!!!!

i thought the judges were stupid, and that it was not really fair, and more of really just the judges personal opinion not following any type of guidelines.

funniest moment was when i was standing in the carpark leaving at about 9pm, a guy in a new hilux was doing donuts on the grass, hit a ridge and rolled onto its side!!!!!!! some people gathered up and pushed it back upright, i guess the drivers ego got a big beating after that!!!!

anyone see that too??

missed that left a bit early, got fried by the sun.

what about the blue commadore into the fence down near the entry.

great day.

^^ that was what I was worried about if I was gonna go.. ended up going for a drive up to Avoca instead.. All my friends were working so no-one was gonna come + couldn't have made the whole day..

Photos look good..

Who were the judges?

[wilch]

Car's were stolen?

Thank God I brought the crappy Lancer. I was also wondering why that commonwhore was stuck in the fence.

Didn't get to take any shots of skyline's . I got there pretty late, the only time I saw Majanal and a couple of R31's was at night.

Here's one shot I took,

congrats to Dan Mackie and Chris Easton who held up the SAU banner quite nicely I saw Chris' last battle and thought he got badly knifed on that decision. They did say you were part of the Sydney 31 Mafia though... dunno what that's about.

Also big congrats to Fernando! How good was he? f**king awesome i reckon. I watched him practicing last week at Johns track day and his entries to turn 1 were outstanding. In fact i was dissapointed that they didn't start the cars much further back on the straight so we could see some real balls to the wall drifting into turn 1, which we know these guys are capable of.

I'm a bid pissed that people were there stealing cars. I get to Oran Park about 10 or 12 times a year with State Champs, supersprints and track days and i've never heard of anything like that happening. in fact when i'm on the track i leave my wallet and sh1t in the pit bay... maybe not anymore. The head drift people need to see this kind of shit is stamped out quick smart or it will f**k it up for everyone.

So was the commo in the fence stolen???

Richard, is the Fernando you're talking about the one who used to own an S-13 180SX (not sure if he still has the same one)?

If it's the same guy I'm thinking of, he was/is my cousin's boyfriend (not sure of what's going on between them at the moment - she's currently o/s, and I haven't seen him in ages). Last I remember the 180 was running a pretty standard SR20 with a GT-RS turbo, and he had some sponsorship/deal with SSS Automotives. He owns a black Ford F-series with a lift-kit and massive wheels and tyres, and he's also known as Ferdi or 3rd (that's what's on the plates of the F-series, too). He is an awesome driver, when I went to see him at a practice day he was starting his drifts roughly 50-60 metres before the corner, Scandinavian Flick style, and no-one else there that day could come close when it came to skill and technique...

How f*king annoying is it to find out there are knob-jockies there stealing cars?

Congrats to Dan and Chris, wish I was able to come and see it for myself!

Cheers,

Nick T.

yeah a guy i randomly spoke to in the carpark told me, another reason the cops turned up at the end of it i suppose, apparently the three cars stolen were all old cars commonwhores and falcons, i suppose they were amateur knobs just wanting a joyride. idiots!!

yeah Fernando Wheirl. has a white F250 now complete with big 3rd's graphics and tyre changer in the tray Still got the sileighty. Really great driver and absolutely punishing the others in formula-d class at the moment.

A guy told me he got defected just out of Oran Park too. I was at the Shell at Leppington and he warned me he had just been defected for noise and pod. Poor guy, such a nice car too.

Had a fantastic day! Down in the rear paddock pretty much the whole day, copped a few sprays of gravel from some of the people who hit the trap.

Some pretty poor amaterish video capture on my behalf, although I got the goods of the 31s ripping some half decent burnouts in the expression sessions.

Small world, hey?

Last time I saw him, he had no licence and was waiting to get it back...

[Marsss]

Well done to the LINE boys was a great day!!

[Majanal]

Thanks for coming out Guys and Girls, is what the sport needs is support.

Unfortunatly I was not able to drive to my best as the Wheel alignment is out quite badly after the crash a few weeks back and also the hit from the Orange S15 earlier in the day.

But will be all fixed for winton, so bring it on!

....and also the hit from the Orange S15 earlier in the day.....

wtf?

[TokyoTaxi]

That was a top day and damn good crowd !! Great action and all did really well. Chris got screwed pretty hard by the judges ( IMO ) but the "judges" well..........lets just say they shouldn't have been judges !! They would be better suited to a back bench in parliment house....

There are always cars stolen from Oran Park !! My HR31 was stolen from there. I would NEVER take a GOOD car there again.
