I had 2 Crashes on Monday ....

[GeordieBoy]

.... but I was on track at Teesside Autodrome Drifting my BMW 328.

I also sheared my rear subframe from a mountings, and snapped the front diff bolt.
Need to do a subframe swap now to get it ready for another session in March.

A video and some pics. That first bend I'm doing about 60mph.

Will you be going to JDM Allstars when they return this year? It's something I want to get into (part of the reason for getting the BMW) whilst I build my 200sx

Yeah, loads of fun, helps when ya not too bothered about the car as its just a drift/track car now and not a daily driver.

I assume you mean the Wembley weekend? Its 16/17th Sept this year, I hope to get there, but its nearly 300 miles away.

No it's at the Teeside place this year along with the Nissan Factory. I have gone to Wembley the last couple of years, did Manchester and Donny last year and Trax the year before.

I used to drive a ProKart around the left hand side of that track on Wednesdays.

We were allowed out every now and then to use the full track as part of the practice laps before a meet race.

Tracks are great ain't they?

Still haven't fixed up mine from the Nurburgring drift session... (ok I slipped on some diesel on a fast bend in the wet and 3/4 mile later was reversing at 90mph ). Still got the duct tape holding the bumper together
