Hey guys, This just in! We will Drift on Nelson and Fabi Circuit! The day will be split in two. Half day on Nelson, half day on Fabi. I know that this will eat away a little of your time and I know it’s a PITA to move all your gear over, but I think it’s worth. We’ve all (well most) have drifted on Nelson, let’s throw Fabi on there and see how things go! Team Drift Ops. ---

How many people would be interested in changing rubber at the track rather than bringing more rims ? I’m sure I’m not the only one who is short on rims, because a spare pair or two, is just not enough for a full day. ---

i havent had time to pick up more sets so i’d probably use it if tire service were available, if it wont be i’d probably just grab more rims anyways. ---

There is a good chance that there will be a tire changer at the track… But that will be confirmed later. I’m not making any promises. ---

Change your tires by hand, and stop being wussies. All you need is access to an airline with 80+psi, and 2 pry bars… Fuck you people are lame. …I’m in if my car is assembled, 2 tracks, for 1 day and a decent price? Fuckya… ---

I say change your own tires because it’s not fucking hard. I _was_ making a joking comment, but I’m telling you it’s easy. 2 pry bars and some soap/grease. …That’s a whole lotta tire changing equipment, I don’t know _how_ you would ever fit it in your car… And you don’t bring gloves to the track? Wires don’t hurt that much. Congratulations, you turned a joking comment into a pissing contest. I was actually surprised at how many people were in shock because I was changing my own tires at one of the Drift Free Fridays… It really is not hard, and for $10/tire, it can save you a fair bit of money, if you’d like, I can show you how to do it next time I make it out. ---

well you said access to airline, so i assumed you’d have to bring a compressor along since no one brings a compressor to the track unless they are mounting tires (only seen this once) i’m sure you have a lot more experience in mounting tires, but i guess it really comes to what size you are mounting and if your stretching the tire or not. and no i’m not talking about some 195-205 on a 5 or 6J anyways, i’d be happy to learn how to mount tires with my bare hands if its really that simple. I look forward to it!
