After waking up at 6am and driving for about 2 hours in horrendous traffic, I finally made it out to the March session at the Queensland Raceway. There’s nothing like the smell of burnt rubber to wake you up in the morning.
This was the first thing I saw as I arrived; this amazing looking 180 was binned on its first run of the morning. The car only just came out of the painbooth with it’s awesome midnight purple hue the night before – basically, the car had JUST been finished. It really sucks, especially because the seriously rare 4 stud 18″ SSR Professors got pretty messed up in the smash. Maybe we’ll see this once-flawless 180 back on the tracks one day.
Quite a few Laurels out, which was surprising.
Tayno’s consistent car was out, once again, proving that it takes skill – not power – to slide a car. Slammed, stanced, and still drifting his way around every bend.
Bit of a rare sight to see Tayno’s 14 with shredded tyres; stock power means he can usually slide all day long without having to swap tyres.
You might remember this particular S2000 from the February JDMST Meet; can’t really forget those plates.
This was the sister car of the 180 that was posted earlier; it’s the same colour and it’s also running a CA18. The still-intact 13 was looking super clean, and is definitely one of the nicest examples of the car I’ve ever seen.
The owner could definitely steer the car with class – the CA setup under the hood must be making some quality power.
Clean S15 rocked an awesome fitment with some Drifteks up front and Grids down the back.
Jamie rolled out his 14 to the morning session; it was actually the first time I had seen his 14 with the Work Meisters under the guards. Long time readers might remember these Meisters under the guards of Ty’s white FD RX7, before he swapped to some blood orange CE28N’s. The car looked so badass rolling with the Meisters, but even more badass sliding on them. At 11.5″ wide on stretched 265’s, it certainly looked the part.
Jamie was definitely doing the Meisters justice.
Love this 180, rocking its Supermade kit.
Now, Commodores aren’t very common at the morning drift session, since the owners stereotypically have a different attitude towards drifting. However, the owner of this 6 litre VE SS had his mind in the right place while he was frying the tyres on his torque monster.
Was pretty blown away by this R32 with its R34 front end conversion.
Shit just got real…
This Ichigo S14 on AVS 5’s sounded brutal, looked brutal and absolutely brutalized tyres. Particularly because the owner was such an amazing driver, the car was awesome to watch on the track, and is easily one of the best drift cars in Queensland if you ask me. It seemed to run without any hiccups all day and was in absolute top form.
Was an awesome day out, I look forward to them every month.
