With regards to "my involvement" i would say i am a sucker for punishment? but that would be BS, something about lending a helping hand, especially when the three Musketeers (Tim, Anne & Abie) are so busy!! Thanks for bringing that to my attention, i will hopefully see Anne on wednesday at practice so i can get up to speed on that one! I will add that link onto the Rock Raceway Group on Facebook

I 100% love that idea, i did think about that fleetingly the other day, "smaller scale" imagine someone or something distracted me from speed dialling Tim but it's an awesome idea, there is afterall SPACE, so will run this past Tim and get him to mull it over etc... I doubt that it will happen this year as we have the follow up Drift challenge in December and a few more big events inbetween...

~ Slide 'em Wide

With regards to the wall around the track, I did have a brief chat with Tim about this and he made it very clear to me that the spectators safety is as important as the drivers! I recommend grabbing that bulls horns, i wouldn't think to much about the wall as you are kinda of inviting it into your moment, focus on the slide and simply enjoy the ride

BINX, HAVE YOU WATCHED THE DVD "Drift Bible by Keiichi "Drift King" Tsuchiya"? IF SO, NEAR THE END HE IS AT A DRIFT LOCATION WITH HIS EA86GTS.THE PLACE IS CALLED "DRIFT LAND" I THINK & ITS IN JAPAN, FROM A DRIFTING POINT OF VIEW, THE DRIFTERS NEED SOMETHING LIKE THAT..
I UNDERSTAND ITS NOT THAT EASY & CHEAP, BUT A LOCATION WITH LOTS OF VARIATIONS, ISLANDS, DRIFT LINES, BENDS ETC WILL MAKE THE ROCK A UNIQUE PLACE. A PLACE WHERE UPCOMING DRIFTERS WONT BE TROUBLED BY WALLS & UPSTRUCTIONS ETC.
DONT GET ME WRONG, THE ROCK ROCKS! BUT ITS REALY FOR OVAL RACING.
THE NICE THING OF A PLACE LIKE 'DRIFT LAND' IS ALSO THAT IN COMPETITIONS DIFFERENT COURCES CAN BE LAYD OUT WHICH WILL TEST DRIFTERS & A TRACK LIKE THAT COULD BECOME A LOCATION FOR
SUPERMOTARD, MINIMOTO & OTHER TIGHT(SMALL'ICH) TRACK COMPETITIONS.

WATCH THIS MOVIE, IT WILL GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF THE TRACK IM TALKING ABOUT

I see what you mean, it is a nice concept! As promised i do run all of these suggestions past the Rock Team, and they are loving the feedback, thanks for taking the time

There is a group now on Facebook, The Rock Raceway - South Africa where you can leave messages for Tim Stephens and the Team as they are checking in daily!
