norfolk arena drift team membership

cheers matt for the pics. they are after id rebuilt it, it was about 4" further back...

HELL YEAH IT RAN AGAIN. i couldnt let the old girl die there.

i got a transition wrong an went square into the wall at about 40mph, the front came back to the sub frame but pulled it back out and fitted a bmw rad to it with cable ties and went back out. the dizzy packed up though, new one is on its way monday and with some bracing it will be at the next king of the ring.

the damage on the rear was from different taps with the armco, at essex and POD.

i was loving the wet skidding, totally new experience but awsum.

once my stiff neck and shoulders wears off ill start the rebuild.

wait till the fronts protected, even the A-TEAM would be impressed. ram raids all over the south here i come...

ive even cracked a rim and its still holding air, some how. it refuses to die.:smash::smash::wack::wack::dw::dw:
 
its only serious when its over, and i didnt hear any fat ladys singing because my exhaust had come off, so it aint over yet.

ill do my best to get it to norfolk 1 last time for its 10th memorial outing, then it will be broke for parts. some one wants the engine.
 
we all need serious seat time, but for thrills not skills, you drift well for the seat time youve had, one to watch in the future i thinks.
 
cheers Tom, means a lot you saying that as it makes me have more drive to get the car back :D

To be fair i think you should be in competitions with your driving skills :)
 
cheers mate, but im not consistent enough for comps, yet. plus im too busy at work, maybe in the 2011 season, BDC amature (sp) maybe.

might be the old suspension bushes, twisted chassis or just my driving but i have very good and then very poor runs on the same day, i think i need less seat time and more focussed shorter runs. so rather than doing 30 laps til the tyres pop do 5-6 laps well and on the same lines an then rest. i seam to relax after 10 laps and get cocky and lazy then it goes wrong, the arena wall has taught me that.

most comps are only 3 laps per heat anyway.

you gave the senny some good stick and that isnt a recognised drift car normally.

OR a bit of left foot braking :cool: and bias to the fronts:thumbs:
 
Tom is a real hero that car was so smashed when he braught it in the pits but the dedication to get it going was impressive he was at it for about 3 hours and he got it running. Image all the parts that were damaged - radiator, oil cooler, distributor, radiator fan to name just a few

thanks for the pics matt, as you can see in the top one id JUST done it and was MMEEGGAA annoyed with myself. but the second pic is proper ace ive got mega lock and angle going on and you matt are well sideways early in the corner its just a shame we werent closer.

ref clutch, chill guys ive got one now, in matts 320 nato evo1, lets see how i rock with that.

cheers emil, it needed fixing at some point so as there was more seat time to be had i just got on with it, luckily i had a big box of hoses and a rad in the van just incase.

yes malx i do get bored VERY easily and im not good at spectating so i just worked away, if you want ill drive less and coach a few people at the next norfolk event, give a lil something back to the norfolk crew. if you dont mind that is.
