Was anyone there?
Twas an awesome weekend full of good competition, decent turn out feature of the day had to be bai doing donuts riding the door like a cowboy withonly one leg and a hand in his car. spectacularrrrrrr.
it's a shame the 86's couldn't fight it out in the final cos of mechanical issues good to see them out there though.
OK! here are the pics finaly!
the signal car drifting.
D1 driver demo 3 at a time! :D
Two drifters fighting it out at the semis.
Podium. The green perth based s13 (with rb26 engine) took the win from the signal car in the final. Too bad the sydney round didn't have any sydney siders in the final
Ok now to the carpark. this the unique autosports zed missing a bumper after attempted drift :) to bad it was a well balanced circuit car and corrected it's sideways slide halfway through a corner and into the tyre wall
I know it's not a staz but this is the next best thing from japan in the eighties in my opinion long live the wedges! (plus it's so damn initial d like :D i'm a looser i know!)
Meh, last photo is my bro's vr4 engine bay not showy but nice and the bugger packs a fierce punch hehe (i'm hoping he wont notice if it's gone from his engine bay one morning and magically appeaered in mine
)
