chunk · 08-04-2008, 23:13

See you there tomorrow folks!

GmasterT · 09-04-2008, 00:29

yey! (secretly hoping a rains a bit early doors for a cheeky pimp vauxhall skid

)

spin-king · 09-04-2008, 05:14

Oh the joy of living miles away and having to get up at stupid Oclock

Looking forward to it should be a good day.

Papercutout · 09-04-2008, 18:52

Aaaaaah, back now. Was a wonderful day - I've improved immensely (vouch for me GmasterT!). Just need to lower her and finally get the exhaust changed. The lowering is urgent though...
Just a pity my last tyre went, just as I was getting the hang of that middle section of the big track.

Thanks again Lex - see you next month. (and thanks to all the others who helped me!)

Even MORE tyres next month methinks!

lozza · 09-04-2008, 19:02

Was indeed a really good day!! Big thank you to Lex

My car skidded pretty good, thought it was a bit fast in the morning and then found out there was no limit on the boost

limitless boost is awesome but not healthy, so its now as standard! Big list of things i need for future skiddings! Including sorting the suspension and a small bucket seat and different steering wheel. Also could do with sorting the steering out, as it soooo heavy! Oh and a handbrake

end corner got a bit messy trying to slow down lol

Everyone done great today, was good watching people have fun and doing good skidding

Bring on May DWYB!

mazdachris · 09-04-2008, 19:28

I had such an awesome day today. It's a bit lame I didn't manage to get there till late, but that's my fault. GmasterT is a great Mr Myogi style drift coach and before I knew it I was tearing it up better than I thought I'd be able to. Hopefully next time I'll be able to graduate to the bigger tracks.

Just a bummer my car decided to end itself by throwing its battery out of the tray, ripping off its earth lead. And I read the thread by Paz and everything

Big thanks to Lex for organising all this. You're my new favourite person.

Papercutout · 09-04-2008, 19:32

Ah so that was YOU in the little white MX5 that the Gmaster should NEVER EVER try to fit in again then!
I was the bloke with the bright red E30.

Unlucky about the battery though.

And well done Lozza, I barely saw you cos you were on the big track all the time! (showoff

)

Dori Mat · 09-04-2008, 19:34

just back in now, day started off ok had a warm up on the 2 smaller tracks
then upto the big track had 2 goes and was really happy with how i was doing until something felt wrong and came off the track with a bent steering arm

massive thanks to J@garagemac for fitting me a secong hand one and getting me back to pod for the last hours skidding

just a shame i'd totally lost it by then and sucked big time

also seemed to have knocked one of the end tanks of the intercooler a bit
and ripped the wheel arch liner in half

hopefully i'll be back agaimn next month if i can afford it

You WILL be on the big track next month!

I find it easier than the smaller ones, loads more space to muck up, saying that i still managed to plough into 2 barrels and muller a cone lol

kam · 09-04-2008, 20:48

Just got back too, bloody shagged!!!!

Awesome first drift day, that top track was wicked!! Got into third @ about 60mph up there!!

Only linked the kidney and top track track once though

All i can smell is tyre smoke, ive got a bangin headache, my backs killing and im skint, but it was sooooooo worth it!!!!

Tony200 · 09-04-2008, 20:58

Fookin class day

Should have brought more tyres and petrol as there was so much seat time!!!!

Cant fault a single thing about the day the main track layout was awesome, lex and crew did a great job

Driftworks R32 was savage, proper smoke machine

I was in the spoilerless black s14 with smashed aero

GmasterT · 09-04-2008, 21:01

Cool beans from everyone

Another good day I think

Thanks to the guys who let me jump in, hope my pointers and help well... helped!

Thanks for the comments Chris, means alot

Papercutout, sort that car out and then the drift learnings can improve rather than moving on to drift 'that' car lol

but deffo improvement. Big sorry to Jayz, my bad!

And the guy with the porsche was a bit of a legend, hope he got it sorted

Dunno if I can make the next one but will try, hope everything was cool!

and so you should be....

you put the first drift scar on my green machine and i wanted to do that...
nice to catch up with people from the site and put a few personalities to a few names.
well chuffed with how it went on on the day, finally got to grips with the car after struggling at first with the smaller tracks because of severe turbo lag.
hats off to lex another amazing day that will go down as a favorite in my life and i'm sure many others 2.

weather was fab and the skiddin even better, can't wait for next month. hope to see you all there.

Stavros · 09-04-2008, 21:14

I just got back, we was the last ones to leave as took for ever to put the car back together etc.

Cant wait to get there again and get back on the big track, I only went on it 3 times late in the day tho it sooooo much fun

I know everyone was telling me to go on it earlier, but i wanted to properly nail the kidney first, and by end of that was able to lap it both directions pretty consistantly in 2nd (hitting limiter even in 2nd a lot now), so it was big track time.

As ever I lost all my bodykit by the end of the day, got various tyre delamination damage etc too, but mechanically the car was fine, so happy days

(tho it was making some odd noises on the way home

)

Roll on the next one.
