Nice pics from the event. I was the dag at Flagpoint 3 waving the green flag at the drifters. Can someone please confirm where you were allowed to start drifting? I was under the impression it could start from Turn 3/4 and go on until Turn 10. Or was it only from Turn 5? BIG thanks to the driver of the R32 - was it Jeff? Those burnouts probably wouldn't have been looked upon kindly by the guys in the tower, but they were very much appreciated by myself and the other guy who couldn't see any of the drift action. |

Drifting is between turn 5 and 9 i think it is just after the sweeper. Turn 5 through to the sweeper are the only ones judged. They are allowed to go pretty close to each other now but on the last run are meant to be seperated and go singaly to be judged correctly so that the peepscan watch the whole run. This was not happening. Next time if your on that flagpoint can you talk with the guys on flagpoint 5 so when one is finished then you can wave the next guy through.

Here's a photo of an RB going into a 510! Looks like a big job and the SR20 will go in much easier, but have had an SR20DET beofore and they bore me!

This was not happening. Next time if your on that flagpoint can you talk with the guys on flagpoint 5 so when one is finished then you can wave the next guy through. Thanks for the verification. I was trying to keep the guys evenly spaced during the first few runs, and they were pretty much spacing themselves out for the last run in each event. I didn't know until UNKNOWN mentioned to me that the last runs were judged and therefore meant to be spaced further apart. I thought we had it going pretty well, but it's obviously difficult to see how far around the corner each car is from Flagpoint 3. I'd been spacing the cars so that one car should have finished drifting Turn 5 when I waved the next car on. I'll make sure that next time we give a bit more room again. From the point of view of someone standing at that flagpoint, it would be really, really good if TEDA could convince NAMSC to let them start drifting a Turn 3, as it would add an entertainment factor for the persons at that flagpoint - it's SOOOOO boring to wave people off and not get to see what fun they have a result.  Plus Turns 3 & 4 would provide a nice point for drivers to start off with a fairly easy right-hand drift and flick to a left-hand drift, with plenty of room to straighten up (if desired) and prepare for Turn 5. Just my suggestion for you guys to consider.

would be good. The they might enter turn 5 properly if they already sliding. Hmmm something for them to look at. Got me fucked how it would be judged though cos you cant see the other corners. |

QUOTE(SIKUNIT @ May 7 2008, 10:53 AM) [snapback]1282296228[/snapback] They should just let them have the whole track. That would be ideal, but getting Turns 3 & 4 included would be a good start. It appears that the guys that are turning up to compete are starting to get good, so it would be easier to convince NAMSC that more room to do their thing is in everyone's interest (eg. better for spectators, better for competitors, and more entries for the club as a result). Then moving up to having Turns 10 through 14 wouldn't be such a big step. Not sure if they'll allow drifting the full track, as there would probably be reserves about persons attempting to fishtail/drift up the main straight. Give it time - I'm sure these things will eventuate. |

Thanks Matt, but the Datto 1600 which we turned into a 510 was my 1st ever car so I have a passion for that model! I want my drift car to be "different".... but I know your mum's not that impressed with the shape of 'em, lol! She can get to pick the colour!

Sorry, I should've "elaberated" a little more, we turned her into a "Rally 510". We pulled both front and rear bumpers off and welded/bolted a piece of 2inch alloy round bar in their places. Dropped a 200SX engine with twin SU carbys (they were a b!tch to tune.... had to do it fortnightly) and put a set of Recaro racing seats in. It wasn't much but it made her look like a real rally car and as I was only 16yrs old so thought it was pretty cool! We also used windscreen wiper squirters and put them into the rear guards. When I was at a set of lights next to a big V8, I'd hit the button and detergent would squirt over the rear tyres (had it connected to another winscreen wiper bottle in engine bay) and I could sit there, light 'em up and smoke would be pouring from my rear tyres! Impressed alot of people back then! Wish I still had photos of her, but was back in the Ice Age before digital cameras evolved and have lost many a photo album throughout the years  Something similar but I had 13" Magnums  My father raced 1600's as a privateer at Mallala Raceway in Adelaide before he passed away in '74 and was only 1second behind Team Nissan! So the Dattos are in my blood and always will be! Thanks for the comment, I'll do some research and find out who it is that's building it
