How much is some of that tarmac in a bag stuff? Cant be more than £60. Thats only 1 persons fee.

Tarmac in a bag would last about one lap of a skidding car going over it. Bumps are good - make things more difficult

Just deal with it. Its an area that is used for drifting, not designed for drifting. I`m sure that if the days keep going like they do they`ll invest somemore cash into the surface but its not the end of the world. Skidding the bumps makes you learn stuff, its abit brutal sure but you can dodge the bumps easy enough and it teaches you to change lines.

Pod surface is tough. But it makes it more fun.

I think a few months ago someone got a photo of Skyprice on 3wheels into the first corner. That was impressive.

I think that the surface might be getting re-done due to EDC being there. Don't quote me on that though.

Thanks to all drivers and marshalls who made weds one the the best DWYBs to date

Massive thanks for James from

for letting me try the Toymota Liner - tis a fair savage skid car lad

Everyone was really well behaved

Only gripe was that someone left a pair of tyres near the cafe - please be good people cos if pod management find dead tyres they will think drifters are pikeys who do not respect thier venue and will cancel skid fun simple as

Take on board feedback bout the "Bump" - we layed out that track to be on of the fastest and most challenging to date

One best things bout pod is we can change it next month so that it is a whole new and exciting challenge for you guys

kam · 11-04-2008, 13:35

I'd rather learn by going round cones than breaking stuff over bumps but anyway, back on topic!!!

I didnt even hit it!

ducatichick · 11-04-2008, 13:42

change your line then if you know the bump is there

Makes for more fun

so here agreeing with mattboi

weldone matey you do make it a verywell run day even though my mate didnt let you play in his 200

(red 14 with white wheels)

looking forward to sorting my car out and skidding there soon.

The top track was veryquick indeed.

Rads_s13 · 11-04-2008, 14:26

Was a good day nice a warm and I saw quite a few people doing very well on the big track

I hear what people are saying about the bump, I managed to put my tracking out going over it full bore 3rd gear lol

no worse than putting it out on a pot whole though.

Best track layout so far I think

boXXer · 11-04-2008, 14:41

What a top day out. Well organised, and tracks were great

Gunna book up for next month as soon as i get paid again, and will get my pics/vids up later

Drift_Enthusiast · 11-04-2008, 16:32

Was such a great day out!! As soon as i woke up that morning and looked outside my window, i said ''yes mate!! today will be ace!''
Had to hand in coursework that morning, which is why i didnt get there until 12.30 but that was the only bummer for me LOL....anyway, back to drifting..... I managed to get some awesome pictures and videos of practically every car there that day! Although i didn't go for many passenger rides that day, i still had small bits of tyre stuck to me! HAHA! Fabulous day all round!!!!!

kam · 11-04-2008, 16:53

That top track was wicked!!! Keep it or make it even better, loved the fast corner!!

I'll be at the next one for sure!

boXXer · 11-04-2008, 17:06

think im gunna have a go at the big track next month too.

jayz · 11-04-2008, 17:48

I'm having withdrawal symptons from drifting already too. Spent all day today at work wishing I could get back out. Want to get the car lowered before I drift it again though, should make a huge difference.

mitsi_matt · 11-04-2008, 20:17

was thinking of missing next one, NO chance i need another fix. my other car will be ready if it kills me. and with my current bookings at work it probbs will.

charlay · 11-04-2008, 20:38

was good, would be nicer if there were 2 big track layouts one more right handed to get the even tyre wear going, i was changing one side 2 or 3 times as often as the other when spending most of the time on the main track. however not sure i can handle the cost next month, ended up costing me over 100quid of petrol, more than 90 litres of super!!! mental. my poor student self is struggling a little
