Let's go drifting!

i also now phoned Charlene at Zwartkops raceway, for 8 hours that we hire the skidpan it will cost us R4560 inc. vat. That means we start at 08h00 to 16h00 , that sounds a bit better if you are oubout 10 guys, that gives you 48 minutes each and R456 per drifter.

Wesbank sounds good even if we can gets their inner parking area, its big and there is not much of the lamp post thingy. But what worries me is what will they charge. If heard that they are on the expensive side.

48 Minutes per car - sounds like a lot of used tyres and blown motors to me.LOL

Yo! I'm back from my long weekend 🙂

I chatted to a friend of mine who goes to Wesbank a lot, and he said that they open up their skid pan every Wednesday night for like R20 or something.

I'll try to find out how much they charge for booking it on a weekend.

I was once at a gymkana event at Zwartkops airforce base. They had it on a large open tarred area.

Wouldnt know who to speak to unfortunately or what cost would be

Phoned Wesbank, R695 exc. vat per hour, Wednesday nights R20 a go on the skidpan, aperently they have a big skidpan.

Hey Guys

Friend of mine from PE told me about you guys. I have some great news. I have been talking to Wesbank and they are willing to let drifters practice for FREE on a Wednesday!!!
Ok not entirely free, but basically its R30 per car to get entry into Wesbank. Then it is R20 per skidpan session.
Ok, now for the free part, if you dont want to pay for skidpan sessions there is a very basic section of Wesbank we can use and theres grass to spin out onto. Its part of the big oval at Wesbank. So unfortunately depending on how hard you are drifting, you might go through some tyres.

I know this is pretty late. But me and a friend were planning on going through to go drift his car TONIGHT. If anybody is keen on joining then please let me know ASAP.

Its not definite for tonight because of my late notice and lack of guys going. But if you guys are keen I can make it happen definetly next Wednesday!

Guys this is a very good opportunity. Wesbank want to grow drifting in SA. I have been talking for the past month with the lady involved and she is very keen.

Let me know!

I'M BITING ON THE IDEA but if I think of the tyres I need to replace I start crying, I will have to start praying for tyres falling out of the sky till then i'm just biting not doing.

Well even if we can just get the guys interested in drifting to meet up it would be great. You dont necessarily have to drift. Just be there.

We want to get the guys keen on drifting involved.

Toyo or Minty's have brought drift tyres into South Africa. A friend of mine who drifts an M3 CSL put them on his car and he said he drifts for hours on end with them and they still going well!

Me thinks thats great :!:
Need to get my Car sorted out soon so that I can join in on this 😈

This is great guys.

Spoke to my friend. We ARE NOT going through tonight. But definetly next week Wednesday, the 20th of September 2006!!!

Even if your car isnt ready to drift or whatever. Lets just meet up at Wesbank, talk drift, watch those who want to drift, etc, etc.

Im also gonna post on Zoopedup.com to try get a few more other guys involved. Im going to talk to Wesbank again just to finalise everything.

Just keep letting me know those of you who are interested.

So is anyone keen to come through to Wesbank tonight?

You dont have to drift. Just come through and check out the facilities, etc.
And we can talk drift... the marketing director of Wesbank wants to meet with as many people as possible. Cos she wants to talk about possible events end of the month.

I think you'll find that the problem is most of the guys are in Pretoria or Randburg, i.e. very far away from Wesbank. It's a bit hectic to drive that far out on a weekday 🙁 Believe me, most of us would love to come there...

I understand that... I live in Randburg too. So if there are any guys who want to catch a lift with me. Let me know.

Toby, we can maby plan a bit later that we make it an event, then all the Pta sx's meet up with the jhb sx's at wesbank on some wednesday night

I think Derek-Son has a point. How cool it will look if 10 SX's rock up at westBank.

We will be in the next SpeednSound.... 😛

I would like to thank Big Gun for the invitation. It just add to our good vibe as 200sx owners together. Thank you for making us part of something important. Although Big Gun warned us a week ago about this Wesbank issue, will it be difficult for me to attend tonight. But be sure the sooner I can join the better. Although I will not be directly involved in drifting, I would like to meet the management of Wesbank Raceway as Big Gun has mentioned. I would like to visit Wesbank Raceway because I did not visited Westbank before. Think it will be a good outing, and agree that we put it up as an event and rock up there in force. So when will it be, and we can start planning?

Ok thats cool. Well you guys can plan for any Wednesday night where there is drags happening. Just let me know so that I can make sure to be there and to arrange everything before hand with Wesbank.

Would be great if you guys do rock up in full force as you said.

I like I like I like, sound great!! i have been a hole lot of times but that was before the accident, and there is a couple of really fast sx`s and just as gorgeous as they are fast!! the lekker thing is you pay your R30 entrance and then you can go race the whole night if you want!! so if your in a debate whose car is faster then take it on the track and prove it!! 😉

hey guys
