Re: backyard hill climb a drift track (4 the kids of course)

Looks like a good little track you have going. I got my first paddock basher when I was 11 (1976 Corolla lol). Now im older we still havent changed and have had countless paddock bashers out at our mates property. We get all the younger guys and girl out there driving and eventually doing our drift track. It provides hours of non stop fun. We even had the local police helicopter come down to watch while they were doing their rounds. Drifting under a helicopter while its just over your head is very different.
All I can say is to ensure the kids wear seatbelts. The helmet idea is good as well. So far we have had a few decent accidents happen:
- Car full with a girl who said she could drive was the worst, lost control of the EF, went through a fence and flipped the car upside down into the river bed beside the paddock. The result was hospital trips via ambo and helicopter, bruised bones, cuts and one broken and dislocated knee.
- Hyundai Excel head on in the wet into a tree stump. The result one stuffed car and my little brothers head imprinted into the windscreen.
- VR commodore through a fence and sideswiped a fallen tree.
- Another corolla rolled.
- Rolled a 6inch lifted hilux on 35's which resulted in a mate having a broken collar bone and I got a fractured sternum.
Have been plenty of other little mishaps but its all a learning curve. We are now a lot more cautious about whos driving and how they drive..
Keep us the awesome work and be sure to share some more pics or videos.
