The 1st drift school day will be March the 8th out at Oran parks skidpan.
It will cost $450 for the whole day. This includes tires and fuel, you will be driving a Silvia and a 180sx, in the car with you will be 1 of 3 drivers helping and showing you things along the way. You will also get a long sleeved t-shirt, a 30min dvd of the day and a disc with some pics as well! Lunch and drinks will be provided on the day.
The day will start at 8am with a drivers briefing and then a short talk about what will be done on the day. You will be explained and shown step by step by the 3 drivers the activates that you will be doing on the day.

I'd say one is the up garage hire car mentioned in the linked thread by tmb.

Lets not jump in and start bashing straight away guys. This is a much more advanced idea with the emphasis on training rather than hiring, much the same as the circuit training days where you are driving formula fords and the like.

In fact the price is aright as well.
I mean skid pan day cost just under 200 for 20 people, so 450 is pretty good for 10 people and ability to thrash someone's car...

the guy that wrote the post is JJ and is a SD driver that drives the drift garage s1580 (yes his grammer is bad at times :lol: )

neway im doing the first one of these

it is run be driftdis.com

as jj said there will be 2 cars a 180 and a s13 both will look pretty (not a pig nice paint job) and will not look standard (did someone say front end conversion of some sort )
the 180
is a ca and less modified than the s13
still modified with the basic
-intercooler
-coilovers and associted suspension
-locker diff
-new turbo
-hydro handbrake
-bucket seat
ect all i could remember off the top of my head but is what you would have for a part street part track car

the s13
done as a more hardcore track car
-striped interior
- decent amount of engine work (FMIC turbo plenum aluminum radiator with rb25 fan ect, cant remember if its had head work)
- r32 diff and rear brakes
- custom dash
- coilovers and suspension work
ie the usual stuff for the next level of modding the car for drift

it is done like that so you can see the difference the mods make + each will have a different feel which may suit your driving style.

the cars arent quite finished yet but ric asures me they will be done soon

on the day
they day will consist of a variety of activites going from a basic donut to figure 8 to linking 2 turns

you will always have someone in the car with you giving you advice (radio in the helmets, how cool is that ) which will be JJ, Mat or Nathan, all experienced drifters (JJ is intending to compete in most rounds of the SD this year across australia) + there will be demos of the exercises with you in the car so you can see what they are doing and they can expalin it step by step done in the 2 cars + JJ will be bringing out his weapon of a S1580 for the demos/tutorials

everything is supplied all you have to do is rock up in jeans and a long sleave shirt, they bring tyres feul, everything

im in for this one mainly for the in car tutorials that you dant get when you go to a regular skidpan/track day so you can be told what your doing wrong as your doing it

this will be perfect for a complete beginer or some one with only a couple of track days experience (like me )

it will be somewhat simial to the silviaNSW skidpan days exept it will be a dry track everything is provided and there is incar advice to help you out so you can show off your mad skills at the next SilviaNSW skidpan day :lol:

neway ill see you there
