C Me Driftin....
So getting up this morning proved even more difficult than expected...hehe
I got up at 7:30, hastily put on whatever casual clothing was nearest to me and waited for MissSecretary and her bf Holden to come pick me up. Unfortunately this lasted 5mins before i was back on the pillow dreaming of the sleep i could have had today...then the doorbell rang...time to leave for the hour trip to Mallala to watch all the beautifully modified and sometimes ridiculous entrants in the competition slide their car all over the racetrack in the efforts to impress the judges with the amount their back tyres were smoking baby!
I took my pillow with me as we drove back towards Holden's house to pick up another car enthusiast WannabeGangsta. After that we were on our way with Fresh blaring at an ungodly hour of the morning. Now i know ur reading MelbSexMachine and before u beat me down with a stick for having the music blarring let alone at 8:30 in the morning, let me say there was a reason!!! Holden's car doesnt have 5th gear and 4th left us with this unusually loud droaning noise so we cranked the beats to at least have a less annoying loud droaning noise.
We got to this creepy, somewhat resembling the nearby (wellknown for its banks town) Snowtown, country 'gathering' called Mallala. The practises were already underway at the motorway. I know what ur thinking...exactly wat i did this morning....who the fuk gets up here this time on a sat morning let alone be able to drift their car successfully? Car freaks, rev heads, enthusiasts, mentally insane, whatever u want to call them...something i am quite quickly becoming...sorry dad!
After about 2 hrs of them cruising round this track fuking up their tred, changing god knows how many tyres, fixing god knows how many body kits and repairing clutches, gearboxes etc the competition got underway. There were originally 40 'watch me take this sideways' contestants and it kept getting narrowed down till the last 2 who went for sudden death.
Got to say the selection was quite fine, u had ur typical drift cars like skylines, 200's, 180's, 300's, silvias, sil80s, and there were also a few rx7's, holdens, 1 FORD, corolla's, datsuns and even a Rolls Royce! My favs had to be the fluro pink 200 named 'little pink biatch', red 200, red R32, white R31 (surprising for me), VL Calais and the much underestimated VB commodore.
After the initial hit to the back kit of the red R33 there were no more accidents but Alot of mechanical failures. The commentators were something to listen to as well, apart from one of them clearly getting the skylines models wrong everytime there was this chinese commentator that i think arranged the whole event. The only reason i mention him is because he had the voice of a 5yr old trying to talk seriously about these muscle machines. If anyone has listened to the 12th man he sounds like the commentator that cant pronounce his S's....exactly like it!
So yes the selection was narrowing and the racing was becoming viscous! It got to the final 6 and the selection was all nissans, with an R32 and R33, 180, 200 and silvia...which makes it 5...so what was the other??? Yep this VB commodore!!!!!!! It was caining everyone!!!!! Much to the disgust of all jap lovers out there..u know who i mean!
So yes all these jap mods spent G's doin their cars up to perform and even against one of the fastest R33's in Aus this VB that the driver woulda got for like a grand was killing him!!! All unitl one mistake which got the VB disqualified and it was a sea of red jap for the rest of the day.
So the winner of the day???
A very nicely presented, very nicely driven red 200sx with more stickers on it than a yr7 skool girls diary! Well done...saw the car... was a piece of work....
and to the special guest commentator, the fastest and best female drifter in Aus, u are now officially my new idol!!!!! That will be me!!!!!
