Drift Practice - The Rock, Sunday the 30th Dec
A reminder on the cellph application. It is updated with these details.
i'm in, if i can get my alignment done tomorrow!!!
So, is the alignment done?
We should be there from 15:00...
no...
the farking shops alignment machine is broken and will only get fixed in the new year!!!
no drifting for me.
but i'll pull in to check it out!
Ye so I suppose it was going to happen sooner or later, so today I tried drifting, wasn't so easy but was infinitely more fun than what I expected.
Thanks to everyone who was there today, esp the guys who pitched up without sx's, was great to see you guys.
So with 1 drift experience in the bag I want more! Just need a 2nd car because I have a feeling this one is not going to last long..
check out two lekka shots that the spanner took of vlade's sx gooi'ing sideways in the sunset!!!

That's damn awesome..everyone who has never sat in a sx going sideways should just pitch up at the next practice and beg someone for a ride, trust me I have the G-metre results and not only does drifting look awesome it rakes up the G's which in effect means ADRENALINE.
This is def. the thing to catapult our little club into a niche on the history of SA motoring 🙂
That track is short, getting into 3rd is a bit of a mission but if/when you do the speeds start getting real scary as the turns basically jump on you..boosting around in 2nd and braking late can be fun 2 though..
qwerty an s14 sideways looks goos sokar def knows how to drift them. and veecee you'll soon get the hang of it and then wola you drift king. lol every time i see an sx i want mine back........

So you get shafted even at practise..maybe we should put a big red dot on the roof when you drive whatever car so that there's no confusion and you can be clearly identified 😉
Also whose idea was it to put the jack's box under my car? Sounded like I was dragging Sokar on the concrete.. 😈

Simple enough, let's just pitch up at the Rock. They have a pool table/bar and many other amenities, incl an oval 😛
I also want to do a timed run around the track, a teenager of age 15 with a really cool dad was able to do a 16.1 lap using a 2.0 N/A ford engine in a light-weight body. Is there any reason a SX 2.0 turbo cannot do the same??
Hats of to every one there yesterday ,the guys that went around the track it was great to see how much skill is needed to drift welldone guys .

sorry ment vlade was still asleep while reading and typyng. lol 😀
and the man makes his first post...
banshee's been lurking around the forum for a while, but hasn't posted yet.
we met him at tires on 14th and handed him a card, and he was at the rock yesterday too.
thanks for the comments man, it was awesome on the track.
gremlin is really improving his drifting, well done dude. i see you have the brass kahuna's too. i dont think i do yet, but lets see what happens when i have my car there!!!
@qwerty, i dont think our sx's will even come close to the oval cars time man. remember they're heavy, they have turbolag, which is heavily evident in a small space like the oval (only 400m around the whole track), we dont have anywhere near the suspension adjustability or stability they have. so have a go but dont be disappointed if you dont come close to 16 seconds. that pink car was very very quick!!!
@sokar - yo mama!!! remind me to dish out some justice when i see you next.
@vlade - thanks again for the spin in your car. its an amazing sx, and i cant believe you wanted to get rid of it a while ago. just a few more mods and it'll be a demon. i reckon concentrate on that suspension man, thats where you'll get your best results, you have enough power for now!
@the spanner, thanks for the great pics dude. we must get you that 70-300mm lens for that awesome DSLR.
@widow, yes you missed out dude. next time just pull in.
as for putting a red dot on my sx - i dont think it will help. it seems i get ignored everywhere i try to drift, so thats that. i didn't even feature in qwerty's video. he recorded everyone else, and forgot to direct the camera towards me.
hahaha - i guess the fact that i can drift a little bit is my word against everyone elses!!! oh well... 🙄
WHO WAS THAT?!
eeennnnieway:
why do they call an orangutan an orangutan?
its because its got two great long arms and two great big brass balls and when it swings from tree to tree they make that sound : "ORANGGG UTANGGG" (say out loud)
also, i dont just "pull in" - i "stick in" and "pull out"!
why do they call it an "ostridge" ?
tz bocoz theyre osstridges when they lay them beeeg eggs
