VE SS Drift Ute.

Great night at QR for round 1 of the Short Track Series. Nick got 2nd place in the VE SS Drift Ute. It was awesome to see this big V8 getting thrown around like a nibble little Gazzel. Looks like small tracks arnt going to be an issue with the VE.

Photos look good mate, love the photo with the 32, looks a little weird to 32 with an air filter out the bonnet

Cheers
Matt

Thanks mate :) The 32 skyline is also ls powered. Injected Ls1 with 8 throttle bodys. Looks & sounds awesome.
We had round 2 of Queensland Raceways Short track series last night, Another 2nd place but in the finals he came in way to hot & bined it into the concrete barriers :(

Ouch how much damage was done?

Cheers
Matt

Wish I had skills like that! Awesome effort

Surprisingly not a great deal. A wheel that is totaled, a bent lower control arm & a little bit of Pride :)
He very rarley Bins it & you only have 2 options when throwing 1500kg sideways. The wall or the other car. If he chose to hit the other car it would have done more damage to both cars.

good choice man, well done, VE's are nice to through around :)

Shame you didn't come to Tassie. We are here at the moment, the track looks fairly difficult. Would of been great to seen the 2 utes battle.

Yes Nick it would have been great. just the logistics to get there was a nightmare & the cost :( We will be at round 2 at Calder though :)

Good to hear mate. I should be there for that one too.

This is a pic of the track. They start way up the back & come in at speeds of 130+ & then transition into the Drift.
