SXOC Crail Drift Day 27th August 2011

Well, seeing and Dunkz and I were both there we may as well cover the drift day at Crail twice (On GarageLSD). Before the actual day, the weather was touch and go whether it would stay dry or not. I decided to head along regardless to take pictures and to meet up with fellow Garage LSD members.

The start of the day, it was drizzled for a little bit but then throughout the day the weather cleared up. As always most of the cars look in good condition and as the day went on there were many casualties as you would expect.

As the drivers made it out the to the track, they were eager to get started. The Hats even signalling to the marshals to get a move on!

Speaking of which The Hats was on fire during the day, destroying about 40 tyres between him and Marcus.

Cam was also on form, managing to link up the toilet corner to the last corner before the last straight.

Of course being a Scottish drift day, Jeek would never have turned down a chance for more seat time. He is currently competing in the British Drift Championship.

Martin did really well considering it was his first drift day. He was drifting his S15 which is currently going through a dramatic change.

Sambo was out in his S13.4a but after 2 laps the car wasn't too healthy and it ended Smabo's day.

As the day went on, there were more and more casualties. Scotty developed a water leak between the inlet manifold and the head.

Fud-eye used his rear end and tried to shove some rubber in there.

The last drift day I went to was a year ago and the level of drifting has been improved from what I can tell. Amazing to see drivers progress faster and further than you imagine.
