Drift lessons at santapod

Want to practice your drifitng?

Need to learn what the cars capable of?

Look no further i have a spare ticket for santapod on the 12th november, this is an organised drifting experience for iether a novice or experienced drifters.

There is tuition so dont worry if you have never done this type of stuff before, me and my brother have booked in using our supra's, i booked a ticket for my sister but her car seems to be playing up (sierra rubbish).

Price is £60 and that does include tuition, there is also professional drifter that you can pay to take you out in there cars at only £10 a go.

more info look here http://dwyb.co.uk/ or call me on 07809 627560 if you wish to meet up on the way.

It's a pity my car will be 'away' on that date, else I would definitely have gone.

A mate of mine did a drift day a santa pod in his 180. He said he had a good day and the tuition was very good too.

Christ Id love to go to one of those. Shame its so far down south. Do these happen up north? Even Knockhill's closer than the Pod

Would this be possible in an auto? Does anyone want to borrow me a manual possibly a TT bpu.

Course it would be. Just stick Manu mode on. Wouldnt think they'd teach clutch kicking at a beginners course?

Im really interested in this...but i only just bought my wheels and dont fancy having to buy a pair of rear tyres at the end of it!

They supply tyres at the pod, or they did when my mate went. he was gutted as he had bought loads of spares himself:d

id be very tempted by this is the 12th a saturday or sunday>?

It's next Wednesday..

Ticket is provisionally sold, but there is still places left at the same price, we have also booked at trackday on the 22nd of november at bedford autodrome open pit lane and £125 for the full day and full circuit 4.2 miles long.

Noise will be a problem if your single or have a nurspec without a baffle.

Ok, here is my warning bit, because I go to these.....

Dont use your Supra if you dont like the sound of a tyre delaminating and marking your rear quarters with rubber that wont wash off with normal washing (intensive tar remover is needed or something simliar)

Use crap wheels not your good wheels, otherwise you will be sorry when a tyre blows

And if your running aftermarket body bits like front bumper, be very carefull, or make sure you take it off for the day.

Pod do supply tyres, but these arent free, its £5 a tyre and £5 to change, so each time you go through a set of rears that'll cost you £20, Im not sure how long tyres would last on a Supra but expect 30mins tops on each pair.

All that considered, get along, its great fun......http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=166020

Cheers for the heads up,do they normally have most sizes of tyre?

I'm hoping 'the num's' will do your usual good vids of this day?

"the nums"

Im not sure, they might go as far as a 17" tyre, but I would bank on them havng 18's without prior checking, most common is 16" rims, thats why its always best to take your own, and on rims if you can, on the last Saturday I went to the tyre queue took you a good hour to get your tyres changed, very off putting......

I take as many of my own tyres on rims ready, saves a lot of hassle

Where do you source cheap tyres for the purpose Suprash?

Go around all your local tyre places and basically ask them, but dont just turn up saying Im looking for tyres to drift on, as most places will probably say no, give a little bit of info first, that you are going to an organised drift day at Santa pod, you carry your wheels up in the car then swap them over, people tend to listen a bit more.

Remember they usually get charged £1.80 or so a tyre to have them disposed of, so you taking them away is usually saving them money.

Go to the smaller independant garages who arent controlled by head office, they usually have a company policy that no tyres are allowed to leave.

Remember their main concern is your not going to stick them on your car, try and drift around the nearest roundabout and stact it

For my next day Im now having to buy new rubber

Good 1 cheers,

Thanks for the tip Suprash.

As for the num's i like that, and i now have 3 cams fitted and recording in my car as well same setup as bignum, so will try to get as much vid footage as possible.

Really looking forward to it now.
