Beginning - Winton 11th Dec

I travelled up to Winton the night before with a few mates and we stayed at the Banella Leisure Park - pretty popular place for alot of the drivers; nice and cheap and about 5 minutes away from the track.

Banella is a bit over 250km's away from Wagga, but is still the closest full track for us. We have a skidpan about an hour from Wagga, but nothing that is as big as Winton. It's also the closest, and if I'm not mistaken the only location within Victoria that allows drifting on the track. This means the track day spots fill up fast, for the December day, spots were full after just 3 days of being announced open!

Heres a few photo's from the trip up:









A 2 or 3am finish on the Friday night was a bit much for some to handle haha. Vinnie taking a nap in the morning line up:





The lineup in the morning waiting for the gates to open is always an awesome sight. It's a great time to see everyones cars up close and personal, and it's just plain awesome to see up to 80 JDM cars all lined up at once! The extent to which some people go to for a track car is pretty insane! Mint paint jobs, big wheels and decked out interiors all for a car they can only drive on the track! It's awesome to see the dedication people have to the sport.






I should have some pics up in the next couple of days of Nigel Petrie's car - no doubt if your into drifting you would have heard of him! Should have a few pics up of him driving and his mint red Type X 180SX up soon!
