Now that looks like fun :D

I would imagine practice means practice Sleepyhead so go for it! If it weren't for various boring reasons I would be there like a shot. Any danger of doing some of these later in the year Kev?

Sounds interesting,

Who is doing the instructing ???

And Im sorry to be a boring old git, but although I liked the video of Brett - there is no "drifting" in it at all !!! If people on here dont know what it is then what help is there for the rest of the world !!! lol :D :D

LOL

I know how that feels !!!

I would be happy to help give advice to any BP Members that attended if people wanted me to, but I certainly dont consider myself good enough to be "An instructor" and I dont want to tread on anyones toes.

This is a drift practise day rather than a drift instruction day. If there is intrest I can see about getting an instructor there but no promises.

Depending how it runs we may sort another later in the year.
