VE SS Drift Ute.

Who do they pin the blame on for the contact like that in drifting? It looks like your boy was far enough along side for the pass (in normal racing that is), what's the drifting rules?

Bit of a tough one. At the time when i saw it from the pits, i thought the other guy swung back wat too hard. Most people said Nick should have backed off just little. The problem is they had not crossed the finish line & if lets say Nick backed off & straightened, he would have been deducted a point for strait lineing. This instance no one was deducted any points because it was deemed a racing Incident. A lot of other guys said the other guy should have realized that he was wide & the other car was way up on him & just finished the drift a bit further or not swung back so hard. That swing back was from one side of the track to the other If they go completetly off line they are allowed to pass, other than that they must emulate the lead car.

Thanks mate. Not bad for 3 out of 4 rounds & a new undeveloped car. Very stoked. 7 points away from a podium finish for the season

Any plans to do the 2013/14 season? Shame he didn't win the D1NZ prize.

Great stuff, do you happen to know the specs of the Varstoenn wheels by any chance? 19x9.5? what offset?

Keep it up.

Yes mate, we hope to dominate the new season. A few engine & chassis tweeks We had to do all 4 rounds to go into the random draw But N.Z would have been cool.......You never know though, we might just look at a round there

Thanks Mate, Varrstoen wheels are 18x9.5 + 30 for the fronts & 18x10.5 +22 for the rears. For a street car fronts will be perfect, rears are very aggressive & may need the gaurds massaged Contact John at Varrstoen wheels Australia & quote the DriftKid name & you will get a discount.

We just finished the final round of SDA & could not have been a better weekend. Qualified #1 on Saturday & took the win on Sunday. This also secured 3rd place in the 7 round championship for the year.
Really happy that Nick has adapted to this new car so fast. We didnt expect to be any where near the podium this year as we developed the new car & are absolutely stoked.

Notice also the other VE in the shot???? VE commodore 1 & 2 on the day.....Yeah Boy

Top work. Is the other a Sedan, Wagon or Ute? What plans do you have for the ute before the next season?

Thanks Nick, the other VE is a supercharged sedan. Out for its 1st real comp & did very well in a new car. Next year we are looking for more hp. We need prob around 5-600 at the wheels with about 1000nm of torque. Very costly to run a drift team so if you hear of anyone wanting to get there name out there to the masses, let us know We are currently working on a new design but will not be changing it until after a January event that will be very fitting for its current livery.

Yeah I know it is a very expensive sport. I helped Anthony Cece out this year as pit crew and with building his cefiro earlier in the year and the amount of money that went into this season could of bought a very nice new car, lol. His car will be getting a make over for next season a bit of a freshen up and fix the cooling issues that we had at Barbagello. The most expensive trip for him was Tassie but that's not happening again so it's not so bad now. Can't wait for the new season to begin.
