Steve H Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 It’s been a couple of months since Trackaction-Online last went drifting at Oulton so we felt the need for a bit more sideways playing! We’re back on the drift courses again on Saturday Sept 26th and as usual, club discounts are available if you’d like to come along. For anyone that hasn’t seen the two drift courses at Oulton, they look like this – And this is what we do on them – The surface is a special low friction tarmac that will give virtually zero tyre wear and is great for practicing drifting and car control and we always limit the numbers to ensure that everyone gets plenty of tracktime. Pretty well any rear wheel drive (and most sporty 4wd) car can drift on here and with the free instruction that we always have available on the day you can be sure that you’ll be drifting like a pro in no time! Normal rate for the day is £140 but club members can come along for just £120, passengers are welcome to sign in for £10 and extra drivers for £35. Please shout up on this thread if you’d like to come and I’ll send you the booking details and discount code. Hope a few of you can make it. Steve H TA-OL Quote
mick43 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I was a definite for this, on my wall calendar etc. But family decided to book a lego land weekend on the same dates So I'll have to wait until next time (please post next avialble dates when known). Quote
marzman Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Hi Steve - Can you PM me the discount code please... I wont be there but my co-owner will be there in our RX7 Cheers. Quote
marzman Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Hi Steve, Im now coming to this... i managed to find the funds Im there this saturday too with the other drift outfit... This is a great event people, you should check it out... Quote
UNABASHED Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 would have loved to come to this and Oulton is just around the corner from my gf's house - unfortunately we're on holiday for that day Will definitely be up for this if any more dates come up. Quote
rawbhp Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 I'd love to do this, but Oulton is over 3 hours away for me! Are there any other venues further south, like Bedford that run these events? Quote
Steve H Posted September 8, 2009 Author Posted September 8, 2009 Good to see there's some interest in this and we will be doing another one just before xmas for those that can't make this one . This venue is pretty well unique so you won't find the same event anywhere else. There are other driftdays available but they are tyre chewing events and not really as suitable for standard road cars. On the other hand there's plenty of decent B&Bs near Oulton.......... Quote
k1ano Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Hey Chris, Will be good to see you guys there ... Done a few things to the Yota so we will see how it goes ... Martin Quote
marzman Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Hey martin! I've been twice with a different company since the last time i saw you, but its not as good as they only let you on the big track. Still fantastic though! See you there mate. Quote
k1ano Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Sorry I didn't manage to make this due to a mountain bike accident on Friday - grrrr .... Hope you all had a good day :-) Martin Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 need more pics and videos from this Quote
Steve H Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 More photos and videos, no problem We had a great day on Saturday at Oulton – There’s more photos of some of the cars HERE and a bit of video Just want to say thanks to all those that came along, it was a really friendly group with people blagging rides in each other cars etc – makes it an enjoyable day to run. We’re looking forward to our trackday now at Oulton on Nov 13th and our next driftday will be on Dec 19th so I’ll be posting a thread up about that one soon, hope to see some of you there! Cheers Steve H TA-OL Quote
marzman Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Ha ha, brilliant! Steve, you managed to get my 2 worst crashes on video there! Look at the video at 1:40... and im in the background at 2:21 And a couple of good pics I struggled on the day as that was my 5th this summer, and im passed my comfort zone now and i was trying new things, and they often went wrong! Still a great day though, thanks as ever Steve. Martin, you were missed today, hope you're alright after your accident Quote
