Morris to go drifting again!!!

I just saw on his website that Paul Morris is re entring the Aussie National Drift Series. Sounds good, he has got talent to do good drifts and smoking tyres.

what is he driving? is it an SS?

Just hope on all his runs they let him start at the front, God knows what he could do if he trys to pass the car in front.....They will spend the next 1/2 hour cleaning up all the fibreglass!!!

He didn't go to badly at the Oran Park round of the Series. As for his ca, I think he is using one of his Simmoet/HPDC cars

The team is building a drift car from a Commodore shell... more power, more durability, more suitability than a circuit racer...

Is he going to use the norm V8, a supercharged 7.0L or a V8 TEGA spec 5.0L?

The press release Here (http://www.paulmorris.com.au/news.php?page=news_item_2006_05) doesnt say, but the PMM team owner suggested the 650bhp school car was ".. underpowered.." :rotate:

yeah, most V8's in the drift series have round about 700 to 800 BHP

An unrestricted Nations Cup spec 7.0L Monaro engine would get 750bhp... whether the rev range would suit drifting might be an interesting discussion point...

It is refreshing to see the drfting topic being discussed. I have spent some time debating the need for at least a Drifting thread in one of the forums, it has been placed in the National & Club Racing forum

It can live here as long as it is relevant to the Australian motorsport arena, and stays on topic... if it drifts away (boom boom) from the original subject... it may not survive...

You would think Morris would be busy trying to get his V8Supercar competitive.......

Thanks GTR, I am happy to hear that

stroked 454 small block chev. 600 hp .Carby no EFI. Holinger box .IRS.

No frills drift Machine.Should be ready for testing in 2 weeks.

There is a drift practice day at Winton on April 16th, it is being held by VicDrift. The prices are reasonable and perfect for anyone who wants to get involved.

It is competitive, just not all the time... thats the challenge :)

lol...there are only two (at the moment anyway)

850HP Hankook Monaro
1000+HP CAPA Ute

Both beasts belong to Robbie Bolger, and were put together with a little assistance from the dude himself, so I think its fitting for him to join the fun.

but no more drifting at Calder Park too many thickheaded Ginos not doing as they are told

I was of the opinion that the Monaro ran a Perkins V8, could be wrong though.

not sure where the engine comes from, but it is fairly similar to the engines that were in the GRM Nations Cup Monaros I think

bolgers Monaro runs a ex ex gibson motorsport supercar engine stroked to 6.0 litre.

Bolgers Hankook Moanaro uses a PMM devloped Chev 18 degree engine stroked to 7.0 liters, and runs Gibson heads and is supercharged.

The engine was built by Craig hastead using old gibson injection .It is not Blown.

The ute has a blown LS1 .

Me will be cheering for the dude in the drifts !! Give that jap crap a lesson !!

Who said you cant drift a HOLDEN - go show them dude !

Is it too late for someone to sponsor my VN saloon for the Mallala drift meeting? I have a spare supercharger

Why not put your sponsorship on ebay, seems to be a common thing these days

If you do, put a link on here, who knows I might put some bids in!

Yeah I thought of Ebay, I spend so much on there that the karma should earn me some sponsorship LOL. I need tyres...

Good luck with it all. I am not a huge fan of drifting, but it is motorsport so I guess I will walk across the street to see it. :)

I've never tried drifting, but it looks like fun. I think I will stick to circuit racing for now (still on my CAMS P plates, should be L plates). ;)

My Dad and I used to do drifting at my Uncle's farm in my cousion's bush basher V8 Ford. I tried it once at my old home (I used to live on an old telstra block that now my other uncle owns) and I locked up the brakes coming out of a drift and almost smashed the fence and the front of my car. Need to get ceramic disc brakes for the rear instead of using drums. Anyway, did you know our own HRT 433 did a paint scheme for the CAPA Ute and even got into Street Machine with them images.

Yes, tis true...I did numerous concepts for the ute, only for them to change their mind at the last minute and go with something completely different.

Also spent numerous hours meeting deadlines for the Monaro as well...only for the same thing to happen...

....I'm not bitter....much...

Well mate, still got the images and templates?

Drifting on a farm? On dirt? Thats not drifting and I think if I were a drifter I would be offended that you call that drifting and not "circle work"

The drift scene in Victoria needs a bit of boost, some high profile drivers like Paul Morris would help. I wonder if Cam McConville would give it a go??

Rusty looked good for it at the final round at PI

I am sure a Queenslander would be good to boost the Victorian Drifting scene.

I think Paddock Bashing would be a more appropriate label for this behaviour.

He's a known name, thats got to help at least a little bit. I'd be more likely to go to the drifting at Mallala if he is there than if he isn't.

Yeah Rusty would be good but for it to work you would need someone local. Rusty would not want to travel to victoria for drift event 6 or so times a year.

We had a drift day at Winton Raceway today, it was a great day. 42 cars and a heap of spectators. Was a great success. It was interesting to see Truscott, get knocked out early, Fink 4th, Drift Cat 3rd, some fella from Insane Drifters "Hi" I think his name was, came second. Alex from Garage 13 won the day.
