Hmmm... I'm supposed to be on pager support for that week, but I can probably convince someone to hold onto it for me for the day.

Will come up to Mania at some stage to confirm / see what you guys have new up there.

[Alex]

Is there an age limit, the web site link you posted says

\"Participants must be over 21 or have completed a Defensive Driving Course\"

I am not and have not
will this be an issue?

more questions
I guess this is the track being used? http://www.eastern-creek-raceway.com/skid_circuit.htm

are helmets required/supplied?

[Benny]

Please book me in for the morning session Josh.

Where do I send the cheque?

[MxJadeMonkey]

Hi,

No age limit or any of that stuff as it is not using their cars (we are using our own mx5's)

I have a couple of questions.... having never drifted before

Do you need to have a manual

Would a large turbo just make it pointless

is a minispool ok

etc etc

Basically if I enter the drag car will it be pointless

[Babalouie]

Ya, spool + big turbo would make it pretty horrible mate. It would mainly understeer a lot but occasionally throw in some random unpredictable oversteer just to keep you on your toes

[MxJadeMonkey]

Hey Mate,

Mini spool would be fine

auto or manual is no issue either

massive turbo will make it more of a task but also if you like a challenge?

over steer will not be an issue either as this track pretty much makes you do it with out trying to hard, the fun comes from trying to control it once it's there mate.

Cheers, Josh

[Babalouie]

BTW here's some pics from an event we had at the same skid circuit, but we ran it in the dry






It's much slipperier in the wet

Cheque'll be in the mail tomorrow Josh

[MxJadeMonkey]

Nice to hear mate,

i look forward to seeing your drift style

Remember...a drift is like an angry dog. If you show fear, it will bite you. So don't show any fear!
