Hi Cam.
Jump onto http://www.brizdrift.org/ and check some of the vids, there's nothing "out of controll" about wot we do. How fast you going in your full size car? 160-180+? scale that down 1/10 and were going bout the same speeds on a 1/10 circut.
Unless you nitro drifting ABS type tyres are by far the best on most surfaces. Hard rubber and foam are ok on polished timber whilst PVC is good on carpet, there are about 30 to 40 of us that drift every Thursday night at Cannon Hill and the vast majority use ABS type tyres either home made or store purchased Mate, where in Brizzy you at? you should come out to CH on thursday, its a blast.
Cheers Jonesy,
I've actually had you guys out to my DriftZone events a couple of times and I was very impressed. I wasnt aware that you guys ran PVC or ABS all the time. That would be like Danny Kinneally running his ute on snow chains. Impressive.
