I had the pleasure of checking out the drifts at Baskerville raceway near Hobart on the weekend.
Seemed to be a pretty healthy and friendly scene down there, 180sx and skylines seemed to be the most popular car but there was a V8 Corolla that was owning everyone...the driver was said to be only 17!
Some of the sponsored cars even had tyres that made coloured smoke...I joked what next lavender scent?...they said that you could get flavoured mehtanol for drag cars nowadays that go by with a whiff of cherry blossom :)
Heaps of fun to watch...some of the better cars were said to be entering the corners at speeds of up to 150 kph!
Dunno about dattos, I would have thought that heavier cars would hold the road better at the speeds these guys were going... except for a 1200 in in the spectators parking...and in true Tassie style I kept seeing him driving all over Hobart for the rest of my visit :)
