I didn't do any burnout's when I did my 3 runs last week , I thought the Willowbank track was quite good , I didnt get any wheelspin of the line , If I floor it on a public road from standstill it always lights up the tyres.

[blackers10]

i did 3 runs with skids 4 without and the times i ran didnt really change between them

[The Monty]

I did skids this time, as I wanted to wear in my new tyres, lol.
Plus I wasnt going to break any pb's (I did anyway).
Was great fun.
Deffinately come out for a run, we are a friendly grooup, and like has been said, its fun and addictive.

Getting close to great whether in Brissy for racing now, cant wait. Just have to get over the wedding and I can take the Sledgehammer out there.

[The Monty]

Make sure you tell us when you go out Sledgie, as I want to watch and film.

[Soundwarp]

Wednesday nights, and Saturday nights, most weeks.
And a couple of thursday nights throughout the year.
Its $36 for you, your car and a passenger, all you need is a helmet, long pants and a jumper/long sleeve shirt, and some shoes.

FS5 and I found out that if you have two people wanting to drive the car you only pay the $36 bucks as well. If I hadn't had my 4" heels on last time I was out I woulda ran the car down there. The shoes have to be closed in as well, no sandles

On another note I got my own wheels now, nothing big and fast like the Falc, got a Hyundia Accent (2001) in canary yellow. I drive 40k's to and from work a day and with the fuel prices I had to get a cheaper ride or Fs5 would had me in another Falc. She handles well tho.... Love the drift......

[Soundwarp]

OK so wher do you buy the helmets from, what standard do the yhave to be?
**** i think i'm hooked!

[blackers10]

motorbike shop
cash converters etc

best bet is to borrow off a friend if you know anybody
its gotta be ADR approved sorta thing(motorbike standard)

[The Monty]

I think as ,ong as its ADR approved, it should be ok. Just find a mate with a motorbike helmet, and borrow it for the night.

[LOWAU]

I bought my helmet brand new from a motocycle shop for $110, so they are not that expensive if you go often.
