Sept 1st, Mobara twin circuit drift day - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

OK, so I FINALLY made it to a track day and here is how it broke down
We left at 4:00 AM, got there at 7:00 am.
Signed in at 8:00 adn gt out numbers and cars ready. It was 4 of us that went from yokota, and another guy from yokouska
Anyways, this is my FIRST time EVER on a track for drifting, adn first time EVER really drifting in anythign other than a parking lot.
It was raining, was wet, windows kept fogging up EVEN with the defroster on. Horrible conditions, made learning to transition UBER hard. But i got it down.
At the beginning of the day, i spun out the entire first round. But then i figured out what i was doing wrong, ran everythign through my head sitting in the car, adn then went out the next session. (10 minute sessions each).
I threw it out tryign to go balls to the wall. Spun out a few times, But got some REAL good corners in, and started to learn to connect turns slightly.

to skip the boring part of me learning everything, I ended up Linking almost the ENTIRE track minus linking 2 different turns because i couldnt keep the angle over the straights they were on (im trying to locate an online layout of hte track so you can se what i mean)
Neverthe less best part of it all is!
I got 2nd place in Beginners class in the competition that i didnt even know i was in. THe other guy in the black 180 that was with us got 3rd, and a Nihon-jin placed 1st.
It was held by Team Liar (have no clue who they are)

But enough of the words, heres some pics!
(more at the flickr link at the bottom)

I can't believe you were listening that when you were drifting. Funny stuff. I can't talk smack though because my favorite song to drift to is Semi-charmed Kind of Life. lol.

Great pictures and congrats on your finish. Too bad about the rain though.
