No other feedback as i could only bear 40 sec's

[ohbaby]

lol with all of the above ^^^ But what I could make out good on ya ! ! !

[sinister]

As above. Shocking footage but I did watch it for a couple minutes. Looked ok from what I could see.

I'm planning on heading up at some point doing some film with the guys. Should be fun.

Have to come out to the QSS/RACELINE drift events to

To be able to drive at all during a seismic event of that magnitude is quite an achievement!

[200sxxx]

Was your dad in a space shuttle lol, now go do it again and this time tri-pod!!! Was it worth it? as in did you learn a fair bit? Looked (sorta lol) like a awesome time well done mate!

[1jzmz20]

haha yes he is 40 and a shocking filmer. but yeah i did learn a fair bit. Ive done alot of go-karting so i picked it up pretty quick which i thought was odd cause its a totally different style. would love to get into it serious but until it hits of more here not going to buy a vehicle. oh and sinister whens the next event?

[Pantera999]

Yer how was it value for money wise??

[1jzmz20]

well i didnt pay for it my father did. But its about $350 i think which is pretty good. You do an hour and a bit of theory like styles the origins etc. Then u do 3 hours of prac. Be warned though there is an automatic car lol it is fun because it has a heap more punch down low which is good for mako because ur only doing short corners but it runs out of puff quickly. and the manual has stuff all so u gotta keep it hard on boost

May is the first drift meet in Cairns for 2009. Just have to keep your eyes on the forum for details

[1jzmz20]

[Bunta]

So how many people where driving on the day? How much of the 3hr did you spend on the track? Cheers

[1jzmz20]

about 10 people driving yeah track time wasnt that much for what u pay

[madflap]

Response so far has been good from all who attended. Two groups of 5 so that is 5 people per car on a track for 3 hours. Theory was about 45 minutes so track time was a bit over 3 hours.

Things are being discussed now to give those who have done the course the option to come back and do a referesher type event, shorter, cheaper and smaller groups and more time in the car on the track doing your thing. This would only be available to those who have completed the initial course.
This is the very first course and we are very happy with how it ran and we appreciate your feedback. We will continue to develop it with yours and other feedback from future courses.

Our next event is planned for first week of March. Inquiries can be made by pm to me or through www.sdt.com.au

We look forward to nominating one of our cars and drivers in the QSS drift event in May so keep us up to date matt and hope to see you at our next day.


Cheers
