Ok dudes, here's the deal for this weekend:
- We need up to FOUR drifters for Saturday 12th Jan (not one like I'd initially stated). Who's in?
- You can go practise at the Rock on Friday after 3pm (other days can be arranged with Tim). They got lights now.
- A one-event licence costs R50, but an annual licence costs R160. If you want an annual license, go apply for it on Friday 'cos it takes a day or two to organise. Note that your car will be checked for oil leaks, loose wheel studs, etc. Anything that could cause problems on the track.
- While optional, they highly recommend you take out insurance cover. It costs around R350 for R50000 cover or R560 for R100000 cover for a year (I think).
- Plans for Saturday - We need to be there latest by 4pm. Since we're going earlier, this shouldn't be a problem. We're expected to stay at least till 6pm (especially the drifters).
Let's finalise the plans so that I can send out a mail. I suggest that we once again meet up at Shell Ultra on N1 SOUTH and drive from there. I suggest a time of 2pm so that we get to the track by 3pm latest. That will give us time to setup the braai, etc. Any objections?
PS: Thanks qewrty for helping with the organising!
Sorry if this is a noob question, but do the drifters require a liksensie for the 15mins? Also where can we find out about this insurance thing it sounds cool.
If we get to the track at 3pm it would be cool, literally, because the sun is heading down, but no hope of getting a good spot so late, but we can make a plan.
As for the drifters, Stephen let us know if you can get hold of Bruno. I'll phone around later but it's looking fairly dismal at this stage.
If we have 1 or 2 drifters and just a small convoy of sx's it should still be cool, at 16:45 we all drive onto the track make a slow show lap then just park [somewhere uhm, safe on the track] and let the drifters do their thing.
Toby I think we have enough details for the mail to go out. 2pm at the Shell N1 south, bring and braai. Also mention that drifters should contact us. We'll try to phone the ones we know about like VC sez but you never know who sees the mail.. š

Moral support and joining the convoy 16:45 on the track, I can remember when I first saw this at Wesbank when the drift club pitched up.
Is the drift club that Florin started still around? Haven't checked their forum in yonks. Where's Jayboy and the guys with the rx's?
Ok, I sent out the mail but got the year wrong š³ 2008, not 2007. Obviously.
Sounds like a great event... Will definitely make a plan to make it... Won't make it with the SX though... unless it is cool to drive around without the makeup (not finished painting)...
Ahhh VC I see why it's so easy for you to get past 3000 posts...your p.a types quite fast...lol
I just phoned JaY Boy. Got hold of him. He wil now also assit getting the drifters organised.
JD, yip. I will help with the braai. Yes we got to get early there for a spot. Agree on that one.
Looking forward.
Count me in š
Will meet you guys there as I live in the East.
Ok I just spoke to Bruno and he will be there too.
JaYBoy already let him know so I was not the first to call him.
Looking forward to a nice outing

Phew, you guys make me stress..I'm so glad we have 2 "confirmed" drifters.
I'll come through for the practice on Friday as I want to have another go at desensitizing myself to the G's of drifting [last time I had too much adrenaline and basically couldn't convince my foot to let go of the throttle].
qwerty...
just remember this.
if you're going to video the event:
1. remember to point the front of the camera at the cars on the track.
2. remember to turn off the recording while you turn away from the event.
3. remember to keep the car you want to video in the frame.
4. remember to video everybody, not just the first 6 of 7 drivers, even though the guy who drove 7th cant drift apparently, anyway!
hahahaha-

BULL VC
we all know you can drift

If you're going to deliver criticism try to keep it relevant or funny, adding smileys doesn't make your post funny. Regardless, your effort is much appreciated. Not sure if you're laughing to try and circumnavigate the forum guidelines but I guess that at least shows you actually read them.
Refer to my disclaimer where I have made up adequate excuses for the shitty dvd before I even let anyone see it. In particular I didn't edit the DVD, I let the software decide.
So unfortunately/fortunately for you I actually have all your runs, 1 or 2 had some spinning but they weren't bad overall so stop whining or do you really want us to howl with you at the judges decision? š
no man, i was trying to give the criticism in a light-hearted way. i really wasnt trying to piss you off.
in my books any effort is waay better than no effort at all.
vuk and i had a giggle when we started watching, because when he used to video us drifting at the beginning of 2007, he also used to make the same mistakes. in fact there's one video where he completely got the record/dont record button completely wrong. so there's lots of video of the ground, and in the backround you can hear people talking, BUT there's no drifting!!!
also, as your dvd started, vuk said to me "i bet you're not in it, like the videography forgot you too" and when the event starts, the practice run, you video'd everyone and cut me out. GAWD, we had a great laugh at that.
so please dont take it the wrong way qwerty. it was awesome that there was some video! and we'll be expecting more in future!
some people must come for diplomacy lessons from the expert...
lesson 1 : you must say "with all due respect" before you post something
do you chew Big Red? " š š š š "
