O.k, I think I'm gonna get flamed.....

What is tandem? Is it when 2 cars go in a circle like doing donuts next to each other?

I'd really like to get into drifting, but the Corolla has too much power, I won't be able to handle it :(

Thanks guys.

It will be a good fun year for everyone, and with plenty on for drifting, I think we will all be poor and broke by the end of the year from excessive use of tyres, fuel and parts !

I would like to think that one of our main aims this year is to be as professional as possible, both individualy and as a club.

I thank everyone that was at the AGM last night for their efforts, I know it seems strange to say this, but it was good to see that ALL of our members took the night seriously, especially regarding nominations, attendance, and voting, as it shows your dedication to the success of drifting in Darwin.

I hope all of our current members continue to drift at every meeting, and look forward to new members becoming a part of our team throughout the year.

Finaly, I would like to welcome our new committee members, Billy, Darren and Jarred as I am know these guys will also do a great job for you too. And congratulations to Jeff also, as I know he will continue to force NAMSC to view drifting as a serious and viable motor sport, and push the boundaries of the club further and further, as he has done for the last year.

Good Luck & Happy Drifting!

NOOB TIME!!

So whats the go to get into drifting? I know very little about licenses etc.
What are they worth?
Is much needed for the car, or is that the easy part?
Roughly how often are the meets?
How do you guys without sponsors go about tyres?
Just have to cough up the $$?

Cheers,
Zac

before the guys answer some of your later questions......
a lot of the early ones are already answered in the hidden valley info thread.
meets are monthly, but then TEDA may/will organise a few extra practice sessions and stuff between them.

exactly then you have cams licence which i believe is 55 for the year and Namsc membership which is 99 for the year i am pretty sure. Then you got teda membership which is i think 49ish for the year or you can go full teda member ship around 150 for te year which included all licences to drift. Meets are monthly and it cost around 44 per meet to drift. Practise dayse are organised and you get notified about them.

As for tyres there pretty cheap at around 135 each for the federals the club is getting in in bulk for the drivers. I am working on getting better quality tyres through my work for the same price or there abouts.

Post #649

federals are being used all around the country though....

DanielRodeo
Post #650

yeah i thought federals were good track tyres?
get some good prices on re-101s i think thats what they are bj!

cant wait til the next track day

JET_RB25
Post #651

yeah duhhhhh.....


The ones they are using are the bottom line federals etc. They do not compare to the Bridgestone Adrenalins etc.

Were also looking at getting in Toyo's as well.

Zmit
Post #652

holy crap dude.....
you really wanna rip up toyos already?

just stick with the cheaper federals you can buy in bulk :(
the better tyres will help what... 5 people?

Post #653

Oh Timmy you have much to learn young son..... There are things called blems in the tyre world. These are tyres that are not 100% from factory so there for they sell them cheap to people that know about them etc. We ( being bridgestone) have the ability to buy these cheap and pass them on only adding $5 per tyre. There for they can be sourced for the same price as there Federals as can the adrenalins etc.


Shane stated that he loves the Bridgestone Supercats over anything he has tries including the federal. That is funny cos they are like the bottom of the range bridgestone. On top of that alot of the drivers stated on the weekend that the only good thing about the federals were that they lasted ages. But once hot they lost grip in a big way and the sideways felt flimsey...... So in short yes i would like to get better tyres for the club and its members etc at the same price as what there getting in now. Why wouldnt you ???????????

All of the above would be brought in bulk buy of around 30 a order etc.

Post #659

That's great news Bj - good stuff!

I would love to experiement with as many different tyres as possible, as said the ONLY bonus of using federals was that they lasted 2-3 times longer (for me they did) soft sidewalls and less smoke didn't impress much.

Count me in for for what ever your up 2! :(

But the diamond backs are cheap as man only advertised for around the 105 mark for 235/45R17..... Sounds weird your paying more for them. Might even be able to try a different federal.... See how we go. Were in Talks with them now in regards to what is available and when we can get them.


Looking at Supercats or maybe hancooks.

jus to add i just got the hookup for some tyres and seeming as i cant advertise the company on here and who's supplying them PM for some details. $135 per tyre 235/45/17 fitted. as many as you want. Them federals are being used all over aus and yes they are the bottom of the range but have had some favourable reviews and some not so. depends on personal preference. harden up guys go faster lols :P hopefully my car is gonna be ready mid year, then for some tyre burning fun. :)
