Round 2 of the G1 Extreme Drift Series has come rather quick, but Team All Type Crash were ready to battle it out ;)
Was an early and fresh start to the sunday morning. With the weather looking like it was going to rain and a 50% chance of 5mm i wasnt having great thoughts. But lucky for me i had some practice in the rain last weekend at Winton raceway.
First of we had our normal 30 min morning Prac and i missed my group and went in the last one. For the first time ever i went into a Competition without changing a single thing on the car and had a good feeling. Car felt great in the 30 min prac session.
I was then asked by Mallala to do a special passenger ride for a lucky winner. She loved every second of the 1 and a half laps i did :) even got in trouble lol
get ya hand back in haha
After the passenger ride it was straight into Qualifying, one of my weak points until now ;) i went into Qualifying with a plan. That plan was to get the Qualifying laps out the way ASAP, and thats what i did. I went straight out on cold tyres and done my lap straight up.
It was the best run i had ever done at Mallala and the judges thought so as well. Awarding me with 1st place Qualifying position woop woop!! haha
Then it was into the battles i went, it also started raining :( First up was Chris in the R31 and it was a patchy track, and called for an interesting battle to say the least
I was lucky enough to get through the battle and move onto the next. i was now up against Simon E and what a fun battle it was :)
I just came through with the win against Simon and this brought me to top 4. Everything was going so well but i had run out of brand new tyres :( i had an expensive set of toyo's with me but only for wet weather. I had no choice but to put them on, and i was thinking ill be ablot quicker with better tyres but i was wrong. i wasnt use to them and i lost the battle.
But it wasnt over yet, i was now in the battle for 3rd place ;) knowing i couldnt drive my best on the toyo's i put my 2nd hand set of cheapo's on the rear for the battle against Jack Monkhouse. Would have to say it was one of the best battles ive ever had :D Thanks Jack ;)
I won the battle and all the footage is in the next Video i made of myself. Thanks to everyone who helped with the outside footage ;)
Cant forget the victory burnout pics ;)
What a day... couldnt have gone much better really. But it did, team All Type Crash went in the best event of the day "TEAM DRIFT" and took the win out in style ;)
Jay's AWESOME shots ;)
And the Video footage is worth the watch trust me ;)
Hope you enjoyed the read ;)
Next event for me is over in Tassie for Round 4 of their series. I havnt been to any of the rounds in Tassie this year but cant wait to mix it up with the guys :)
