hell yeah its more important !smack

[mitchster]

...u were missed. :-)

[opAsx]

mitch, would heavy rope be better than gaffer tape?

re-usable etc and a hell of a lot harder for the cars to move (big thick rope)

damn the cars look very very impressive :)

[Vindicare]

awesome day, was a hell of a lot of fun, thanks to ross and the rest of the guys organising it, cant wait for the next one!
bags not going up against mitch in the first round though! >.<
hopefully can have another bash in a couple weeks then another comp start of next month maybe, we would definately be up for it again and i'll be more than happy to help out with anything if need be.
thanks again to everyone there today! =)

Steve.

[glasstraxx]

lol ecept for mine...i desperatly need a new pant job!

[opAsx]

looks infinitely better than mine glasstraxx :)

[Matt]

holy shite, check out the turnout you got to this event!!

you mentioned there that youre looking for sponsors, what are you hoping to get from them? teamadrenaline could sponsor your event but we dont make any money doing this (we run at a loss, the things we do for love) so we'd use a barter system: some decent publicity on this site in exchange for a mention of &quot;www.teamadrenaline.net&quot; at your drivers breifing and trophee presentation type deal.

your thoughts?

matto.

[trq steer]

heavy rope would be good i think the only reason we use electrical cord is its cheaper

so yeah if you can get hold of some heavy rope that would be great

[glasstraxx]

Guys i had heaps of fun i hope we can do this next week and they i can beat you all mwhah, well this if i can make those god dam wheels hehe and wait till you see my new paint job :)

[Vindicare]

yeah heavy rope is a good idea, i know a friend at stanbridges (but dunno whether she is still pissed off @ me) so will see if they are interested in any sponsoring seeing as RC drift is taking off now...its a long shot but worth it...
oh btw, i dont think 2 many shells could take on mine for the sh|tbox award =p

[trq steer]

sure more promotion would be great and we could have team adrenaline engraved on the trophy's ?

i would run my r/c and road car with site stickers on it

we could have a banner to put up at mettings but that costs $$

[opAsx]

http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/42/forumsignature4op.jpg

mines the ugly orange and purple shell... i win the ugly car award :)

[glasstraxx]

yes i would put stanbridge stickers on my car hehe maybe we could gte free paint ohh i need pant! haha. Does any1 wanna make a drift team like on initial d? or is that going to far?

[opAsx]

hardly too far

you already have SC and banzai drift teams

why not UC Drift Syndicate ?

UC of course standing for Ugly Cars :)

I could join :P

[glasstraxx]

LOl.. !amazed !silly yeh ugliest cars..best drifters hehe. Nah seriously can i qualify for someones team? this was the first time ive drifted my car..can i came 8th sooo i should get better comeon!!

[Prefix Suffix]

Ok so some photo's are up. I had a ****ing blast today and it was so much fun to be out there ripping it up after a few months break.

[glasstraxx]

omg man thank your gf for me she took a sweet foto of my wrx and the fat supra drifitng it looks sweet, good work :)

[davetripoli]

Great day guys, I'm still pissed I didn't win I recon the 1/18 would have kicked butt in the final round if I didn't get kicked out lol. seriously props to Matt for winning and everyone who drifted or turned up to watch, can't wait for the next one. I just finished my drift ute shell which will go with the cowboy hat.

[Vindicare]

i think cowboy hats should be considered and unfair advantage and henceforth banned

=|

hahahahah =D

[OzD1Rc]

Good fun day today...... apart from my lame driving during comp !!!
drove much better will just hooning round the track with all involved..... would be good to see a continuous streem of cars in single file close drifting the course perfectly without collision... think im dreaming tho !!!

[Prefix Suffix]

i think cowboy hats should be considered and unfair advantage and henceforth banned

=|

hahahahah =D

hear hear

[OzD1Rc]

go on jack post the link ...!!!! you know you want to
hahahahahaha

[Prefix Suffix]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/Prefix_Suffix/Drift%20Day/dave.jpg

Haha, all good fun.

[trq steer]

lol

wicked pix prefix

will be editing a vid hopefully it b ready end of the week
then ill try and find somewhere to host it

[davetripoli]

I got a feeling you are taking the piss out of me. I can't help it if I'm beautiful.

[opAsx]

&quot;HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THAILOR!!!!&quot;

its not just the cowboy hat and the pink shirt... the hand on the hip is the real worry :P

[davetripoli]

give me a break op. I'm just a poor country boy with.... no wait thats sounds like a song. Its my signature, I guess the cowboy hat is my security, and the shirt isn't pink it's...well ok it's pink so what.

[BAGES]

lmao at op and the pink shirt - there is NO EXCUSE for owning a pink shirt !

[opAsx]

damnit i live in the country ffs... and the only time i see cowboy hats like that are when i go to perth :)

we know its not pink... its salmon :P

[Prefix Suffix]

thats right, and salmon is a very manly colour. Dave will fight anyone over that aswell, once i saw him punch this kids head off just because he opened a window. Ohh wait, that was a ninja, Dave will still kick your asses though if you knock the shirt.

[opAsx]

now all he needed was a sailor, policeman and a indian and he could have had a party...

I mean, pink is manly, salmon is manlier... my next rc shell was going to be pink but now im thinking i will give it a miss :D

that rx8 is pretty damn nice, i hate green but that looks so nice.

after looking through the cars it will be hard to judge the concourse with so many nice cars... looks like i need to hurry my upgrade along :(

[Vindicare]

nothing wrong with just having a pink shirt, however his fascination with pink does concern me, and when he has a boot full of RC cars and all bar 1 are pink/purple i am starting to get worried !dodge :p

hehehe
:D

[Jimbo]

indeed !gay

[davetripoli]

alright give it a rest now, the pink cars are my gf's mine is purple big diff. don't mess with me I once killed a fly with my bare hands.

[Jimbo]

The pink doesn't bother me, it's the metro cowboy look thats the worry. !dodge

[Prefix Suffix]

Now stop, there is nothing wrong with daves look. He is a stylish mother ****er and the cowboy hat is total drift action.

Pink shirt jokes gone too far. So how bout that drifting, i had a blast and the competiton was great fun, i was kinda looking forward to a semi and then a final but it turned out good anyway.

[Vindicare]

yeah, hopefully everyone can put in their constructive criticism and make the next battle even better, maybe we can have battles hosted by teams, so as the last one was hosted by Team SC another team may host the next one, that way we can vary things up a bit and see what people like.

=)

[mitchster]

.......kaw. im still buzzing. ;-)

the video looks good, just trying to clear some space on my server for it...standby.
[i do 'slap' these together - in classic wham-bam get it out there style.]
DVD's for all competitors will be burned this week, YES! we have your contact,
if you didn't put your name down on the contact info form, please PM me,
and i'll wing it out to yer.

[trq steer]

give me a break op. I'm just a poor country boy with.... no wait thats sounds like a song.

its ok m8 ur not the only boy from the country !super

[Jimbo]

Great idea on the idea of other teams hosting other battles. We at Banzai drift club have already considered this idea. Great for the promotion of our hobby in as many areas around the metro area as possible. Different surfaces, locations etc. !super

[davetripoli]

I'm already looking forward to the next comp, new shells different tyres, maybe a new look for me as no one seems to like the current one. Maybe if I enter 4 cars next time I might have a better chance of winning. Teams organsing events would be cool, I guess we will be going down to rockingham soon then.

[trq steer]

we could run down here but finding a good spot could be a problem

we have one excelent spot in kwinana but the surface is too rough
and another (a tennis court) which is a bit more grippy
after running on concrete last weekend id like to run on concrete again unless we can find some good smooth tarmac

ryper could be an option as well

[opAsx]

its all 3 hours away for me either way so anywhere is good :D

cant wait for some more drift action, and the wife knows i will be at the next event... rain, hail or shine :D

[glasstraxx]

hey yeah ill be glad to attend but can some1 help me make those special tires?

[glasstraxx]

also im looking for a drift team? can i join one ??

[trq steer]

heres the link

http://s11.invisionfree.com/BANZAI_RC_Motorsport/index.php?

[Jimbo]

Yeah join up dude. The more the merrier. Keep the sport growing. Nice sig opAsx. :)

[trq steer]

hey yeah ill be glad to attend but can some1 help me make those special tires?

i can give u some pvc till i can cut some more poly

[Vindicare]

[quote=davetripoli]I'm already looking forward to the next comp, new shells different tyres, maybe a new look for me as no one seems to like the current one.[quote]

dave i love your look, i just like stirring people up :D
it wouldnt be the same without ur hat :( i love it :)

yeah i think the surface we used on the weekend was a good one, we have used it before a couple of times and i find its a good balance, seems to work really well.

yeah good idea about entering multiple cars dave, mite have to do that 8)

[glasstraxx]

yes ill be entering to car aswell! hey trg steer thanks for letting me use the pvc when can i get it off you?

[Jimbo]

We gotta run on as many surfaces as possible(as long as they're smooth). So we can gain experience on all surfaces. :?

[davetripoli]

the best surface would be smooth tarmac. New car parks are the best like where gary lives in ellenbrook, even if it's a little rough like at belmont park it ok.

[glasstraxx]

hey what about at garden city?

[justo316]

Nice new smooth tarmac in stirling on cedric st. Get off the freeway and head east then it's on your right. It's a big carpark for some council building I think. I've been there a few times by myself cos it's so nice. Lights at night too.

[mitchster]

RC Battle 2- drift video is NOW ONLINE!!!. [17.5MB]
[see new thread n 'Drifting' section of forums.]

enjoy! :-)

[ViscousD1]

Hat's off to the guys for organising the event...(Dave no pun intended). I think that Rc Drift has a real future in Perth and I thinks that while we have seperate teams the comp should be organised by one body... and that we move from area to area for different surfaces and scenery!

Great to see everybody is getting behind it and I look forward to the next meet!

I was thinking we could have team meets fortnightly and race meets where all of the teams come together for a comp??? That way we can run a full day of racing and include a team demo... like ROSSCO suggested... Team Drift all lined up around the track???

Just food for thought? %-6

[Vindicare]

hey g, good 2 see ya in here...
lotsa plans happening, was talkin 2 mitch and floated the idea of having teams take it in turns of hosting and organising a battle...
saturday nite drift meets sounds like a kool idea to for everyone 2 practice and have a bash around and a battle once a month...
with such a great bunch of people drifting i reckon that we'll be able to make sumthin absolutely awesome out of this! !super

[Prefix Suffix]

im gonna go out and say we could chop the sg drifters video wise if we put some footage together.

[davetripoli]

it's amazing, only two months ago i was organizing meets where only 1 or 2 people would turn up. Now we have 3 teams and more drifters than I've ever seen, this has been the goal from the start so I have to thank everyone for getting involved and special thanks to Mitch and Ross for helping kick it all along. I will go anywhere for drift so I don't mind where the meets are, and Jack you could be onto something there with the vids.

[Prefix Suffix]

Alot of their stuff is clever editing(and skill but mostly editing) Our video, which wasnt bad was banged out over 3 hours, one of the sg guys said they had weeks of drifting compiled into one vid then a couple of days of chopping the footage up.

Our skills are pretty much at the right point i just think we need to get together more.

Yeah dave i know how it was with the events.. Back back when i organised a few 6 of us was a good turnout then it slumped a bit in the last few months and it seems to have picked up again. There are about 6 guys that didnt come last sunday that are keen so its gonna get pretty big.

[mitchster]

YES! chopping applied.
if i set out to edit [the right way] and put a week into it,
compiling all footage.....street sessions, racing, clowning aroud etc.
we will eat them all alive. i have been a video editor/motion gfx artist for 13yrs now,
and i have all the gear [real-time edit system-betacam etc].

the vids so far have been me doing a 'rough' cut,
[about 2hrs on each video edit including compression, upload, etc]
and being so keen to get it out to everyone.....it looks rushed.

SO, that said.......mitch would like to compile a MASSIVE movie, all the teams kinda video.
that will blooooooooow EVERYONE awaaaaaaaay! [i'm gonna make request footage thread]

[Vindicare]

sounds good lads. like jack said i think we all have enough skill to drift as good if not better than the SG guys, i just reckon need a bit more of practicing drifting with each other, so we can get crazy tandem drifts and 4 man drifts and what not down, cos that will look poo hot !super
cant make it this saturday but i'll definately be up for the next one 8)

[glasstraxx]

yeh i got a sweet camera so ill record some of the stuff on saturday night, also there are two school whitch have insane tarmac to drift on, like my r/c drifts insanly with the special drift tires on which is good
