Anzac Day Attack Part 1

A long session Today saw some awesome tandems, trains and one out sliding. 

GCRC Sunday Battles.

This morning, many of the regular runners at GCRC were on form. Everyone hitting their marks and starting to form some nice trains.

GCRC Friday Skids & 5x86 = 430

It's a pity we couldn't get everyone on the same day at the same time. there was actually one more than this today. But there's about ten running at different times @ GCRC.

Friday Flash

With a lot of this going on. I decided to bring out the iPhone and capture a little bit of action.

Saturday Session

Well, I can't resist the magnet of slide. Gotta use my stuff.

RE-DIB 275 Test Spec 2.3

 Check out the CS 2.3 style. https://vimeo.com/62488426




 I had a 13T pulley and a tensioner lying around, so what should I do?

Let's hachi-Rock!

I posted a picture on facebook the other day of my Blue 86.  

S14 Slide Surface

Tiles? Since I left Japan I haven't had a good surface to drift on, So I've been playing around the house.
These tiles are pretty good!  Slow and realistic angle, It's just the decor that is not.

Maximum Drive - Part 2

RE-Xtreme 86-RZ Tsunami Spec

Maximum Drive - Part 1

Today, I took this old bash, masher FD down to Max One. I like the carbon-look look.

STREET JACK MAX ONE - SUN SHINE

Max One, Drift Max, RC Heaven Soga, RC Circuit DR. , Weld / Overdose, Yokomo, Mikuni, Hobby Garage and more. A great day, enjoyed by many.

 Double Trouble... Iishida-san's and My own posed on the Weld JZX100.  

Teru-san's Sunny is an awesome beast for so many different reasons. 

They were a 1:1 focal point for the demo / festival event.

The organizers were given a rough patch for the asphalt course, but we all did our best to try it out.

The AKB48 team are always in abundance.

I don't how many of these guys there are now, but there's 48 girls in the group and their rc body count is getting close to that. 

Here's an FD in the livery.

And some more in the background. I was trying some old street jam tyres, but i should have gone with the yokomo tried and true.

I tried a chrome sticker to protect the carbon... It didn't really work...

Everyone was alternating between the asphalt and the outdoor carpet course. We were lucky the weather was a nice 32 degrees C! but in the shade. 

The L shape layout providing some nice opportunities.

for side by side running.

It was getting pretty popular at stages.

Here's a RE-Xtreme 5 Minute livery for my friend's son. Who wants boring old one colour anyway. $1 metallic tape to the rescue.

He was enjoying the day.

 Hard Light.

The outdoor event continued well after my schedule allowed. then everyone continued in Max One...

Variety is the key. Street look.

JDM inpsiration.

Here is the result of my waving RC arm. these kids were having great fun watching the cars. Let's hope Yokomo gets them into the hobby on some level.

Thanks to all involved.

Circuit Dr. Check Up.

Circuit Dr. is awesome. I really liked my time here.

 

Some super "RAW" footage

A Visit to the Circuit Doctor

Circuit Dr. Evil! haha. No that couldn't be further from the truth. This place is Dr. Fun!

I spent a few hours here today, the main reason was to setup another chassis, but I still wanted to try this track. The size is pretty much perfect. Theme is Hawaii fun. Hawaiian shirts and Hawaiian music. Concentration usually eliminates that from your mind.

 My main battle partners today were running these huge ER34 Skylines. somehow the 86 looked very scale against them. Very realistic.

 The Full Uras kits look awesome. This machine is a OTA-R Wheels are top line DRS-10 in gold. The HKS livery looks pretty cool too.

 Active LED and some custom cylon style making this pretty cool! in the background you can see how busy it was. Almost all the pit tables were in use on this national holiday season

 I apologize for the pics. But more to come later.

 My camera was playing up, so I resorted to P mode. but that just doesn't have any feeling..

Anyway, the driver of this Zeon was awesome and he allowed me to follow very closely without error. His technique was different to many, but very effective. Presentation was excellent. I enjoyed this a lot.

Here is my favorite shot from today. I have some rough DV, from onboard, but it's terribly bumpy and you can only see the skyline flash by as the camera was pointing mostly at a 45 degree angle. haha.

Thanks to all the guys I ran with today. I rarely have time to remember all your names.

 This 180 was also looking cool.

I'm liking the spot of grey primer on the side. Damage.

 This section of the track was awesome. Mostly today, I was in tandem mode, but full attack down the Skull corner is awesome.

Battleship grey!

Very cool.

 Many other guys on track. this black beast had some wicked custom wheels with super dish.

 Some drift packages always out for some fun.

Trying to sort out the drift package today. It's a work in progress.

Needs a front one way, but we are making do with old tech. Would you believe the Yokomo running set in "AM"  is better than the 2.4Ghz version.

A few shots of the madness as I was leaving.

It's all good.

I should have some more shots for everyone in the next week or so.
