Yes, 27th, 29th, 30th. Any day after 3pm. The tar is down! Vlade, myself, ChemCool and Qewrty all took a drive around the oval. Very nice!

It gets better. For those who want to drift, please PM or e-mail me your tire sizes 'cos we have a sponsor for tires. Let me know ASAP. They are even looking at getting a tire changing machine!

:200sx_200sx:

Just a shot in the dark.....they won't sposor slicks or semis for the drag track would they.... 🙄

No, the sponsor is basically giving away second-hand tires from their fitment shop, as far as I know.

DDracomoderator24 Dec 2007, 09:54

Ok...still that is great for the drifters 😉

VVladeadmin24 Dec 2007, 19:02

My tire sizes are 16" 225 or 215 55 or 50 😀

TTobyadmin24 Dec 2007, 20:22

Ok I've requested 16" and 17" tires. I assume the width and profile is not that critical.

Does this mean you're gonna drift Silvia, Vlade? 😀

8) What I've built her for, obviously I can't go full out, I love the car too much.

that assumption is the mother of all ... 😉

widths and profiles are extrmely important when it comes to drifting!

VVladeadmin26 Dec 2007, 09:40

yeah but what I guess Tobles is trying to say, we getting free tires... that's a big bonus already...

Lower profiles have less and is obviously the better choice...

vveecee26 Dec 2007, 20:21

have less???

will you be there on sunday too!???!

TTobyadmin28 Dec 2007, 12:30

Yes it was lekka! There was an S14 (Anthony), 2 grey S13's (Vlade and Gremlin), and 2 red RX7's. I didn't stay for too long but the guys were having fun!

Vlade's car's radiator hose popped out during his first outing, so he had to wait for it to cool, then put it back in and fill with water. It's a long walk to the tap! Hint - bring a watering can or something 🙂 Vlade was quite well prepared with cones, drift tires, and an in-car video camera!

Gremlin put in some nice drifts. We could see the rubber being laid out onto the tar after a couple of guys went out.

Oh there were no roadblocks getting there, but there was a cop or two on the highway. From Midrand, it's about 50km taking either R21 or N1/N12.

thanks guys! It was awesome to get out and drift again!! Pity we had to do some work on the cars but it turned out to be a great time! I love the corners of that track - damn!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope to see alot more of the sx club there!!
