Three Sisters Drift Experience Day 24.9.2019

[Westfield Chesil Parts Dept]

Good Afternoon All,

 

I hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend and to those who attended KitFest thank you for coming to say hello and support us and the show.

 

We are thinking of running a Westfield club member only drift day experience. Can I have people thoughts on this and whether or not you all would be interested.

 

Regards

 

Patrick & Westfield Team

Have done a few drift days previously, when they were at Donnington. Absolutely loved them, and would like to do again. Subject to cost/location.

I did one about 5 summers ago also at Donnington just weeks after I'd bought my car.

 

I'd certainly been very keen to do another although I'd be looking for more of a tuition session rather than jump-in, quick lap of the course, jump-out again experience I had.

 

Just my own thoughts but if the instructers started with a sweeping curve of cones and encouraged us to improve our basic skills on that then perhaps the weaving slalom course may be a bit more achievable. I think a "members-only" day could accommodate a bit of tuition rather than my previous experience when the instructors had to deal with a mix of people most of whom (apart from me and Andy Lowe) had never even sat a Westfield previously.

True, the one's I did, I did get some good 1 on 1 car control lessons from Russ, but something a wee bit more training orientated would be good, too.

@Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary @CraigHew the reasoning behind the Westfield owners was to allow more of a tuition based session.

 

I love the idea of having a course comprising which could incorporate all different corners.

If you need an extra instructor who knows Westfields I would be happy to assist (subject to availability / location / fee). Rescinded my instructor license these days but still do bits of work here and there to keep my hand in

 

Did one of these days at Silverstone a few years back (and produced a promo video for you) and it was a really fun day.

[Onliest Smeg David]

Done two, a fair while ago. And would definitely be up for another, as would a mate of mine.

 

Usual 'cost/location/date'' dependency!🤞

Driving our own car or one provided?  Or just being chauffeured around?  I wouldn't be interested in the latter, but the former...  sure!

Driving a vehicle provided.

You’d not want that unless you have a shed load of van tyres with you! 🤣

[Mighty Mart]

They also need to be set up to do this - high tyre pressures etc?

 

Agree - not ideal using your own car unless you turn up and use another set of wheels & tyres.

Ditto ^^^

Did same as Dave, but just one time @ Donnington

[Trevor Little (Trevturtle) - Treasurer]

I'm interested... 👍

Thanks

I'm in depending on cost and location.
