Campbell Live Feature on Boy Racers

[Two Smoker]

Yea that's right, you bikers better watch out. I'm a proud boyracer myself. I've got a real flash as Ford Econovan thats done up to the max eh! Yea dats right, it's a ford (cause Holdens suck balls!!!!!!).

It's full kitted with a AM/FM radio and some boom booms at the bak. I've got neons, I've got LEDs, shit I've got everything bro! To finish it all off I've got heaps of performance stickers. I am thinking about upgrading the stickers to some Gready ones or maybe Trust ones and Oh yea, I'm saving up for some cool as NOS stickers too! OH, And the meanest part of my whole van is my very flashy lookin bling bling chromies!! YEYA!!! Check that shit out EH!! ha ha... What do you mean they'r not real? I bought them for 50 bucks from Repco!!!

LMFAO!!! hehehehe

Nah, I hear that turns you on too much

If you want bulk cred with the drifters/trainspotters you should get this painted on the door of the race van:


It reads Fujiwara Tofu Shop (private vehicle).
If you want to know why it's soooo cool you could ask a dirty old drifter like FEINT..

For some strange reason I think I know what you're on about...

It's some weird anime thing where there are these rival delivery things or something?

I've seen it somewhere...

[Motu]

We still got a way to go - my brother in Canada tells me some of the stuff that goes on over there.

One thing they do is a bunch of the dudes meet and all put some money into a hat (a cap maybe,but do they hold it backwards?) then one guys races off and hides the stash - then he rings them up and tells them where it is....the first one there claims the pot.They spice it by doing it in peak hour traffic.There's more,but I forget....

At least the WOF tests are generally better than they used to be, my mates holden ute had all bald tires on brakes only on one side. Got warrents without problem.

The diesel squirt thing is pretty ingenious, you get all the smoke without having to give up as much tire or provide as much HP.

Using diesel and riding the brakes to get tyre-smoke is for limp-wristed soft-cocks with underpowered cars - kinda sums up a like a lot of B.R.s that do that shit.

Why not throw the tyres in a pile, throw the diesel on them and throw a match at the whole shebang? lots of smoke and you can still yak with your mates, drink, snog or whatever.

The car is a called "hachiroku" which means 86 in Japanese. This car was used in the video "Initial D". It was more of a anime cartoon. Kind of like a drifters bible. In the movie, this was the delivery car for the FUJIWARA TOFU SHOP and the star of the movie drove / raced it on the streets in Japan. This isn't the reason why we have boyracers...... please refer that to "Fast and the Furious" and "Too fast too furious".

Boyracers is one of the reasons I gave up drifting. The image that goes along with cars today sucks.

Alot of these so called boyracers are youngun's that have no driving experience / skill. They really want to prove something, come down to the track.

Take pity on an ignorant old fart. What is "drifting" ?

[Drunken Monkey]

Take pity on an ignorant old fart. What is "drifting" ?

Remember those good 'ol fashioned american car 'flicks like Bullit, et al? Where the driver plants his foot and oversteers his way skillfully around a corner. That's drifting. Only these days you use a Japanese car, typically a Skyline, 200SX, Ae86 'rolla (RWDs) and sometimes even FWDs like Integras.
There's a whole culture to it now, ranging from the "original" underground drifting in Japan, through to organised events, especially here and the USA, i.e. places that have a Jap import culture of some degree.

Thank you for the enlightenment. Though it sounds rather boring. They ar eodd folk in Japan

Well, in my personal opinion, it is more entertaining to watch than track racing. Reason being, there are alot more crashes and they don't keep going round and round the track. There is a set judged area in which two cars or more will battle. Points are awarded for angle, speed, technique, length of drift, stunts etc.

There is an event for this called "D1". It just started its own series in the USA. New Zealand has its own, called "D1NZ". Japan has "D1GP". Most large japanese manufacturers will have their own sponsored cars. This is pretty much on the places they test their latest gadgets (along with the JGTC).

What is drifting?

Drifting is a high-skill level motor-sport in which drivers control a car while it slides from side to side at high speed (approx. 80 to 100mph) through a fixed course. It is similar to Rally racing on ice barn, but is done on a tarmac (paved course) and judged on speed, angle of attack, execution and style rather than just who finishes the fastest. Drift cars are typically compact to midsized, rear-wheel-drive sport cars. The goal is to apply enough power to the rear wheels to break the tires' traction and initiate a slide while accelerating the vehicle forward, or "drift" Once a drift is initiated, it must be maintained through the turn using nearly a full power, a tap of braking and precise counter steering.

another reason why drift is so entertaining

battle!

[Mr Skid]

I've always found the 'newness' of drifting a strange concept - good keen kiwi blokes and lasses have been getting RX3's, Escorts and sundry other vehicles sideways on gravel roads in NZ for years.

Drifting uses the same tried and true techniques, but applies them to the road, i.e. the "Scandanavian flick" has been renamed the "feint drift" but it's still the same idea of weight transfer etc.

Nothing to see here, move along...
