Was back seeking out the motor sport today. I took the kids along to a Drift event being held at the local raceway. This was a first for al of us, we had only read about this type of event and hadn't seen one. Mate! these guys definately cut loose and give it everything.

Here are a couple of the shots I managed to capture.

This guy was in my opinion the best on the day.



Just a random selection.

p.s. If anybody has some contact details for any drift organisations in Tassie would be great and much appreciated.

#1 is the pick of the crop for me, action a plenty - burning rubber, drifting of course, plus the colours work well IMO.

Are you trying to become accredited, to get closer to the action with the 'BIGMA' If so, I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks for that Fozzie,

I have just got of the phone from one of the drifting web sites who would like me to supply more photos. As for accreditation I will work on that for some upcoming events.

Hi there Redline, thanks for the heads up on the driver, I knew it was from the mainland but no idea who was behind the wheel. If I can find someone to sponsor my trip I would be there in a flash to cover the DA event. Am trying to find out the date of the next practice round down here (apparently at Symmons plains).

Cheers for stopping by.
