A little drag strip and drift action?

[SuperMonkeyKong]

http://www.driftanddrag.co.uk/

IF this is all that it seems then previous trips up to Smeatharpe have been a good cheap day. Drag racing was a lot more fun than I thought it would be and people moan about the lack of drift action in the SW.

But for some reason it all seems a bit dodgy to me, naff website, smeatharpe has noise issues with the locals, other websites are not that kind about the organisers and November seems a funny time to do it.

Has anybody else heard about this event is it OK or am just judging it on the poor website?

[Ross S14]

Looks alright. :nod:

[Chriscooke]

I thought that this kind of events had been banned from smeatharp :confused:

[Paulpen]

I thought that this kind of events had been banned from smeatharp :confused:

Ditto

Also spelling the location right generally helps :confused:

Maybe someone on the scooby forum in the links section knows more ?

[SuperMonkeyKong]

I'll keep digging and if it turns out alright I'll go along. My SX will still be off the road but with my 205 still badged up as a 1.6 I might still have some fun on the drag strip.

[remo]

hummm......

drifting.... without KERBS!!!

[m.d.]

im up for this one for sure, 40 quid all you can drift :)

[Con2K]

have my trailer now - need a uber cheap non road legal drift car for the day...

I'd use the 200 but I dont want to risk damage and it'll probs be SORN for winter by then.

[Monkey Magic]

I'll be at this event, at last a local venue :)

Con2k - Look out for an mot failure e36 2.5, the engines are strong and love being on the limiter all day long.

[Con2K]

Cheers mate - my gf's brother Mike has a lot to do with TDSW and BMW's so he's always reccommending these to me. Anything thats practically scrap would do. at worst can weigh it in after lol

[Chriscooke]

Is this definately happening then?

[clive]

will be ran by:

Modified Madness!

they really do come across as some dodgy people- but we had a awesome day when they held an advent on @ Thorney island.

hope this helps :)

[clive]

devon mate.

im still thinking i might be better off going to pod (same travelling time...)

especially if its only one car out on track rule :ghey:

[Con2K]

Al - cheers, will pass the details onto the missus as its basically her 1st drift car to try out so its upto her if she wants to go ahead and get it. She might want sumthing a little lighter but for 250 u cant argue...

Clive - remember what I said on facebook, bring mossy along lol

Yeah I know Mike - the e36 king lol

[docwra]

Mike is a legend in his own lunchtime. :thumbs:

Shame its a trek for me or Id be up for coming down to this :(

[Monkey Magic]

Mike is a legend in his own lunchtime. :thumbs:

:D

I can't wait, it's about 5 miles away from me so for once don't have to get up at a ridiculous hour in the morning.

The runway had a bitumen type of surface laid on top of the concrete which has gone patchy. It makes your tyre smoke slighty green, never seen that anywhere else and probably not that great to breath in :wack:

[Teggers]

Hmm... Might see if I can persuade Bex to let me come out to play!!

[Chriscooke]

Anyone interested in seeing if we can attend this as a club?? I cant see an email address to contact them mind but I'm sure I could find that easy enough :nod:

Looks like a few club stands are already attending, not sure if everyone that attends has to be going up the strip or drifting though :confused:

Channie what do you think? You could bring your s15 :D

[clive]

i know the organiser Chris.

ill have a word with him :)

[Chriscooke]

Cheers clive :notworthy

I bet we'd have some interest in this :nod:

[Ross S14]

Yep seems like it. :nod: I guess free entry for traders/club stands will help popularise it!

[Chriscooke]

Ross would it be enough to bring your car out of hibernation though??

[Ross S14]

Haha, unlikely. :p Would be interested in attending & spectating/taking a passenger ride though. :thumbs:

[clive]

Yep seems like it. :nod: I guess free entry for traders/club stands will help popularise it!

iirc when they held an advent @ thorney island it was minium of 20 cars for a club stand, no cost for the club stand and discounted tickets.

but dont quote me :)

[Chriscooke]

Hmmm we may struggle with 20 cars. Unless we have a national events organiser near by :wave:

edit (was a bit late :rolleyes: ) was 11 cars min :)

[Monkey Magic]

It's only a fiver if you get your tickets in advance, you still have to pay this even if you are drifting or dragging.

Ross and Channie have s-bodies :confused: :D

[Chriscooke]

http://www.modifiedmadness.co.uk/clubs.html

11 is doable I'd of thought:nod: Might have to get monkey magic to tow his s13 there to make up the numbers though :D


Ross and Channie have s-bodies :confused: :D

As rumour has it :nod: :D

[Ross S14]

:whip: James H saw it move (well in and out of the garage . . . a fraction) only 2 weeks ago. He can testify it still exists! :cry:

[Monkey Magic]

It would need more than a tow :horse:

Does it have to be an s-body? I can get Jev or Jo to bring the tofu machine up to boost numbers if needed?

[Chriscooke]

Not a clue mate to be honest:wack: I'd imagine it would help if it was an s-body but would be ok if the numbers were a little short :)

Cool will bring it as a last resort, wouldn't want to divert all the attention away from the dirty nissans :D

No passenger rides unfortunately :(

And for drivers helmets, windows up, arms and legs covered.

[Ross S14]

I think he was being kind. ;)

[Channie]

Channie what do you think? You could bring your s15 :D
Hmmm would be uber tight, mainly down to a month wait for my windows and cant order them till start of next month :(

[clive]

Channie doesn't have an S body,
he does however have a large car shaped skateboard tho!:D:thumbs:

Lol @ Tofu-machine! Tofu-Power drifters?!?!?! Want a sticker made up for that? :D

[clive]

No thanks, the 86 is staying sticker free as well as the s14.

Is Bexatron allowing you to come play? :wack:

Pmsl @ Bexatron :D

[Evilchap]

Room possibly for an MX5 for some drifting?

[Chriscooke]

I think all you have to do is get in contact with the organisers ben. Need to speak to channie about a possible sxoc stand I think :) Would be nice though.

:no: :cry:

Anyway I need to sort my smoking habit. But do I just replace the tubby with another t28 or go for a t3/4 hybrid and top mount mani (which I can afford now) and 740's and a map (which I can't).

This is assuming its the turbo not anything internal in the 184k engine...

[slider200]

Yeah I know Mike - the e36 king lol

yeah i know big mike too, i drive his old vr6 golf!

herd on the grapvine he's selling his e36 and 535 v8 and getting something quicker due to him doing well at a odc event but dont quote me on that!

[Monkey Magic]

:no: :cry:

:facepalm: Your doing it all wrong. Don't ask, tell her you are going up smeatharpe for the day :nod: :thumbs: :mad: :whip: :D

T3/4?? as in like a cossie turbo :confused: Seeing as the mapping and injectors cost loads more than the turbo and mani I'd just stick another t28 on. Have you even got it chipped yet? Stage1a is quite impressive seeing as you can use standard injectors. if your going to the hassle of top mount - hx30?

£40 for the weekend for £25 for the day. plus £5 entry each day Ben:

:ghey:

seriously need to man up :nod:

i said to Hannah we are going away to Devon for the weekend for an other drift weekend...

i got a reply of "i best be booked into drift aswell :) "

:D

dont bother with a top mount, just stick a 2871 on there :thumbs:

plus its a quetion now how long a 184k sr will last at 1.4 bar (stage 3a) :wack:

t28 £150-200. stage 1a map £200 (best $$$ i personally spent performance wise, bar the s14a auto diff :) )

Mikes car is forsale over of Driftworks. well spec for £1400 :smash:

[Monkey Magic]

Is it on both Saturday and Sunday? It says on the website: The show is open to the public on Saturday 20th November 2010, does that mean Sunday is just for drifters/dragers?

Gunna need shit loads of rubber if it's dry :smash:

[clive]

anyone wanna pikey me some for the Sunday :wack:

can bring enough up for the saturday....

:sxoc: :D

[Monkey Magic]

Having enough trouble finding my own atm, so is it drifting on the Sunday as well?

The website implies that it is Saturday only :confused:

Yes, cossie stylee turbo. Its getting away for the day too. Anyway, if I'm reading this right and its a saturday, then I won't be able to make it anyway :( Terms of my franchise agreement and all that :annoyed:

Not chipped yet :( - each time I manage to save enough in my toy fund, something breaks or needs sorting that takes it all up :annoyed: making me scrimp steal and save again for whatever I can get into the fund...

Bit more difficult when there's a baby involved too mate. Sundays are my omly day off to spend any time with Bex and Etienne so they are rather precious to me.

Cost/benefit I think you're right - replacement T28 (r if I can find one thats not silly-money)and a 1a chip. Sufficient powerz to worry the big boys but maintain reliability for not too much money. Got a 1.5 way diff waiting on a new bushed subframe (bought from Tech - just waiting for delivery and toe arms from Kev)

I may well end up re-shelling at some point though - make a damn good job with the new shell with the rust proofing, poly/solid bushes etc etc. After we buy a house this year/next year (basically as soon as we can find one to suit within budget!) I'll have the space and hopefully the time to do this. Maybe not the skills but with the time I can learn them!!

[Garysx]

Im there:)

[Pete s14]

Looking at going myself, you guys going seperately or as a club?

[Monkey Magic]

I think Chris is in the process of organising a sxoc stand :)

[Chriscooke]

He hasn't been yet. Will look in to it tomorrow :thumbs:

[Chriscooke]

Finding out more info now guys :thumbs:

[Pete s14]

Would really like to go to this as a club, quite a few that met down here recently at the meet voiced that they were interested.

Btw whats the second day for if it's not for public?

[Chriscooke]

Still waiting for a reply from my email. Will try again tomorrow if I haven't heard anything :nod:
