I've taken the pooch down to avon park (sorry, Shakespeare County) loads of times, and they have never said anything.

I'm up for meeting where ever.

Do you think I would have to pay to put my car in the "For Sale" Section??

Sounds like a good plan, the Mazda Rotoary Club seems to be slap bang in the middle.
11:30 Monday morning, next to Iant's 'Rex

I popped in today for a while, it was fairly quiet, I assume it will get busier tomorrow. Anyway, here's some pics:

good to meet you Iain.. and shame not to meet you CptSideways.. I have some decent footage of your driftin (v. good btw), but the marshalls wouldn't let us anywhere near the drift paddock.. so couldn't come and say hi.

not a bad event, but a bit low on club stands etc (obvious exception of the FD's of which there were loads).. guess the weather first thing put a lot of people off..

very impressive to see Cowie's 9.7sec R32 GTR..
lots of gorgeous FD's to drool over, an S14 with S15 front end swap, some good (and some not) drifting, and a lack of bouncers at the gates keeping the chavs out

Didn't manage to track down any of you except MrSideways but as pierscoe has said we couldn't get anywhere near the drift paddock.

Great selection of RX's on display and a surprising amount of Skylines for a rotaty show I thought.

Sorry I missed all you guys, I was kept busy with drifting all day, in case you did'nt spot me in my car that'll be because I had to borrow the DriftAcademy 200sx as my rack fell to bits.

However I managed to win the Drift Battle in the borrowed 200SX

Managed a 14.3 in the 1/4 mile on Sunday considering it was my first ever run not bad & I can see the addiction.

Here are some pics

My car before I knackered it


Paul who managed 2nd place


Lads this Julie can drive


JohnC's car which I borrowed for the finals

That'd be the 9.3 sec 'liner then... fastest GTR in Europe (time set on Sunday)... Also the eventual winner of the Shootout!

Was a bit suprised at the lack of turnout from other Jap car clubs - it might be called Rotorstock but it's aimed at attracting all Jap makes... Must try harder next time

Unfortunately due to a packing error and a clod turn in the weather I had to pop into stratford on Monday morning to buy some trousers so was alte getting to the stand - sorry if anyone turned up around 11:30 and couldn;t find the car

Nice to meet you and smurfette Piers!

right.. grabbed the clips off the dvcam, one of out venerable CptSideways and one of the smoke-machine aka drift academy car..

I'll try and get them uploaded to PHTV in my lunch-hour tomorrow at work.. providing no other bugger hogs the broadband machine all day!

I didn't get down until about 12ish (dispite being quite possibly the most local PH'er there!!! ) and I found your Rex, but no one was about

Not to worry, as I did manage to get in the drift Paddock (I didn't even see any staff stopping people?) with my dog (despite the tickets having "No Dogs" written on them??) and saw some very impressive drifting. So much so, I am abandoning any projects of drag cars and now thinking that my new toy should be some form of E30 BMW and turn it into a drifter.

I thought it could have done with a few more clubs etc getting in on the act, and with the success of this year as an attraction, I can see next year being monsterous!!! to the Mazda Rotary Club, and lets see more drift action at more events please!!!

Forgot to say,
Perhaps a JapChat PH Stand wouldn't go amiss next year??

That was me I had to borrow the DriftAcademy car for the drift battle finals as I broke mine.

Aha think I might have said hello to you & your dog a little white fluffy thing that did'nt mind the noise?

That sounds like a good plan, anyone else going to GTbattle (unfortunately on the Goodwood weekend) or JAE this year? We could borrow some PH banners maybe?
