Prodrift Academy afterthoughts
We had a great day up at ProDrift Academy, it was well run, well organized, a couple of cars went down but that’s bound to happen when they are getting abuse everytime they’re out. All the staff were very friendly, helpful and informative.
The weather was terrible, wind and rain was blowing the head off me. I kept saying we’ll head off home so… but eveyone that was doing the course were having none of it. So that kinda speaks for itself really. They were having a ball.
The highlight for me was Damo and Kav-GTS-T tearing the rear bumpers off the ProDrift cars – they were giving it loads.
I could see a great improvement in most drivers by the afternoon session, but I think the drivers that had a bit of driftng experience benefited the most. The Drivers with limited experience still had a great experince and fun. All were of the same opinion – that they would love to do it again. We also got the added bonus at lunch time to see the WKD cars out on a test session, them boys are serious drivers with serious drift cars.
I think the way ProDrift ran the academy day was great, they had 4 teams of 5 or 6, so each driver from each team would get 5 or 10 laps with the instructors, then the next team would have the same, and the next team would go. This gave all the drivers time to think of what they had done, where they made their mistakes and how to improve on the next turn. All in all it was a great day.
A big thanks to After Dark Crusiers, Cruisearound & ProDrift for having us.
Truly a great driving experience.
