BODGEPRO motorkhana day/ drift free for all..

[Stomps]

The first official Bodgepro Motorkhana was held yesterday at AHG driving centre..

Trophies were awarded for best overall time and Drift King..

Time was judged from when the car crossed the start line to when it came to a complete stop. 2 second penalties were given for each cone hit and any lap time that did not follow the course was not counted.. The best time for each section was taken, then all times were combined for an overall time..

The Drift King trophy was judged by crowd reaction. If the crowd liked what they saw, drift monkeys were awarded accordingly. Any spin would forfeit all drift monkeys for that pass..
Total drift monkeys were calculated at the end of the day..

We had all sorts of cars down: 2x 4age sprinters, 2x silvias/180, an r32 gtr (380awhp), 33 gtr (~450awhp), 2x 4wd liberties, a turbo starlet, an n14 pulsar, an xg work ute, r32 gtst, z30 soarer, 400rwkw vy ute and the curtin uni Formula SAE car..

Winners...Time
1st Coombsy (4wd liberty turbo)
2nd Adam (4age sprinter)
3rd Finnie (4wd liberty N/A)

Winners...Drift
1st Adam (4age sprinter)
2nd Brad (s13 onevia)

I also have some videos on the way... I know its a bit odd posting info up now after the event was already run but there were no spots left anyway..

If WA people like what they see here and think they would enjoy doing something similar let me know, if we can get enough people together such a day would be easy to organise..

Also this was my first go at proper motorsport photography, so please let me know what you think, give hints for improvement etc...

cheers

wow awesome...i can't imagine how u'ld get traction on a wet track like that...my tail was already stepping out in the hot and dry...

Brilliant! when's the next one?

[Stomps]

throttle control.... plus traction is overrated... The dude in the yellow onevia has been drifting for about 2 years... My bro has been on and off for around the same... his vid is still being uploaded....

It was slick as fuck out there though... I felt bad for the dudes in utes...

vid of my bro in his 86..

These werent the best runs of the day and running r comp's didnt help... Dry runs were a lot better and smoother, but these were entertaining anyway..

That is absolutely awesome! If they had a day like that over here in Adelaide I would definately take my car. I'd love to get involved in that.

Any vids of the Starlet?

[Stomps]

nah, no vids of the starlet... i got a couple more but they take over an hour to load..

My cousin in the white z30 soarer had his camera going all day filming the whole track... the footage is a bit far away but ill post it up anyway when i get it off him..

But yeah, these days are awesome fun.. We are already planning another one, hopefully this time my car will be running..

Just a quick one of the formula SAE car... Fucking went like a rocket.. prob a bad day to be running slicks though

Poor dudes had to wrap all their electronics and data logging equipment due to the rain... Also had to replace the fuel pump in the morning..

Oh and just for the record that was revved to 6000rpm......It revs to 16000
