Drew and Jodie from DMNZ ran a drift open day at Hampton Downs on March 31, 2012. I went down after work and had a blast testing the car for a couple sessions! Was great to figure out what needs to be fixed and changed before D1NZ this weekend. Thanks guys.

We were watching Daytona500 the other week, and I remembered back to when I was a kid and watched Nascar with my dad. The most exciting part for me was the crashes and the near misses. I always knew at one point or another in oval track racing, it’s inevitable they were going to happen. Of course, being at the track and feeling the rush of 30+ 700hp Nascar scream past you down the straight at 200mph is something that you have to be there to appreciate.

D1NZ returned to what I think is the most fun track in New Zealand for drifting, Taupo Motorsport Park, for Round3 on the 2012 schedule. Coming off of a 2nd place finish at round1, then to a disappointing engine failure at round2, I was really looking forward to doing well here and gaining back some much needed championship points.

D1NZ Round3 at Taupo is coming up this weekend fast! At round2 my motor dropped a valve due to a broken retainer. So we’ve pulled the engine down and luckily only had to replace a few parts and give the valve seat a grind. While the motor was out I also moved the radiator forward and modified the thermostat to hopefully help with the cooling issues I’ve always encountered. With the Silvia still not running properly, I will be hard at work tonight to try and get everything sorted in time.
I also found all the GoPro footage that we took from last season in Taupo when I was driving the RX7. I cut a few of the clips into a raw footage video, just a small taste of what’s in store for this weekend. Enjoy!
Make sure you get down to one of the sickest drift tracks in the country this weekend, see you there!
