Stadium drift @ parklands gold coast

after hearing all the hype about these tyre shredding sideways dudes i decided to enter the old escort with a set of 20 yr old slicks on the back
& have a bit of a go !! well it was a bit more technical than you think , trying to keep it as absolutely sideways as possible just on the point of spinning the thing , it sure gives the elbows a workout , i 1st tried using the hyd h/brake to set it up but found the old "scandanavian flick"
worked the best , being under horsepowered to the rest of them didnt help , i might not have been the fastest, loudest ,most smoke etc but
the Escort was the crowd favourite . they booed & jeered the oficials when i didnt make it into the final top 10 shootout
it was a load of fun with a heap of runs 10 or 11 i lost count
would be good to do it again with another escort , a similar phsyco driver
is important too :lol:

there was another very familiar escort on display yesterday , such a pity it wasnt running , would have been great for the spectators huh ?

Which car is that?

John it is a replica built by a guy on the Gold Coast and only just finished. Danny knows the owner so I am sure he will fill in the blanks.

Hey Steve good use of the Barking Toad sticker but we'll need a new drive sticker for the new car
Steve you should also put Rodney Rude reply to the McDonald's sticker
"They're trying to F@#$ with our McCulture!, it's not McF@#$ing Fries, it's CHIPS! and if I wanted any I'd have McF@#$ing asked for them!
