There is a new tradition for New Year’s Eve – DRIFTING! Teesside Autodrome is the venue and folks travel far and wide to take part or just spectate. There’s no competition, just a full day of baffoonary and good times. There is space for 35 cars, and near enough all slots were taken pretty quickly. This is a very popular activity. Scotty had a new weapon of choice for the day, the drift missile car.



This was fettled up enough to be able to drift and as you can see, special bespoke livery was designed for the occasion. The car was basically there for anyone who wanted to have a go. And a few of us did have a go.




The track was damp and greasy all day. Splashes of rain every so often kept things slippy. This just meant that the car would spin out easier. But that didn’t spoil the fun.



Plenty fun, plenty frolics, plenty laughs. This is the way to work up your thirst before hitting the New Year drinkies.




All the best to everyone out there and watch this space for some very exciting 2012 happenings
