For those who took the small test today, it is all right if you did not do well for the first run. Just remember the mistakes you made today and correct them on the next time round.

Also, learn how to handle pressure that you faced today. You will know that you will not perform well when you are under pressure which is the biggest criteria in competitions.

5th Training on 20th June 2009

2009-06-17T15:00:00.009+08:00

Dear all,

Thank you.

We will have a short interclub event on 20th June 2009, mentioned on the last training post. CCA points will be awarded.

The track will be set to mimic a competition track. Each of you will be given three single runs when you turn comes.

The judging crterias are:
- Amount of time in drift mode
- Amount of collisions
- Drift angles

All of you will be assessed on your current rank on your drift skills. This will be recorded and will not be post on the blog due to certain members not willing to share their results.

Additionally, we will constantly check your progress from now onwards. How we are going to go about that will not be reveal and informed in advance.

This is also the last week for you guys to practice figure of 8 and/or doughnut for training.
This is also the last training before there will be no club training for two weeks due to common test.

Training will resume on 20th June 2009.

After the common test week, we will have a interclub event on 20th June 2009, mentioned on the last training post. CCA points will be awarded.

All of you will be assessed on your current rank on your drift skills. This will be recorded and post on the blog to show who is improving and who is not to have a gauge of yourself compared to your teammates.

Summary of 1st to 4th training week:
- Basics of running a remote control car
- All-you-need-to-know terms and jargons in RC language
- Basics of knowing the electronics and parts in a car
- Attempting to drift using your car when not setup to drift
- Basics of setting a car to drift
- Learning how to engage your car into a drift
- Learning how to do a doughnut with your car

As usual, if you are not sure of any of the above still, you still can practice on your own or request us for help.
Assuming now that you have learnt the above well, this is the plan for the next four weeks from 5th to 8th training week:

5th to 8th training week:
20th June, 27th June, 4th July, 11th July

3rd Training on 23th May 2009

2009-05-20T16:34:00.002+08:00

Dear all,

There will be NPRCD meet on this coming Saturday (23th May 2009)
Thank you.

Like last week:
To all new members, please continue to practise your figure of 8 this coming saturday. As Zhi Rong told some of you, learning figure of 8 teaches you how to get your direction orientation correctly. At the same time, do try to break grip and slide as much as possible.

Remember, if you require assistance or any queries, you can find us. As you are starting to learn how to drift, there are times where you will have to do certain things repeatively which may be boring but remember to have fun while you learn :)

- For those who are wondering, on the 5th Training week training, we will review on your drift skill level.

- For those who don't want to keep drifting in school, remember the drift meet dates stated on the side of this blog. Remember to contact the person-in-charge before going to a drift meet. Recommend that you go for Tuesday's Ulu Pandan Drift Meet.

Additional notes:
We have noticed that some of you have no personal tools of your own. So, this saturday we will introduce a few of the equipment you should purchase at a local DIY shop.

Events:
There will be an interclub event on 20th Jun 2009. No further details are revealed yet.

For those who are wondering about last saturday's training cancelled, it is Vesak Day, which is a public holiday.

Dear All,

Thank you for making the effort to write down your particulars on 20 and/or 21 April 2009 at our booth!
As my members and I said to you guys couple of times, this coming saturday (25 April 2009) we will have
a recruitment meet. We will be introducting you guys more about remote control drifting and the basic know-how
on what to do/decide on this coming meet.

Remember guys! Please attend this saturday's meeting if you want to know more or if you have questions to ask
and so forth. We will not force you to join our club in the event that remote control drifting is not for you. However
on that day if you had made up your mind, do look up for us and we will record down your particulars again and you
will become our member immediately!

This saturday will be held at Blk 16 (Near the swimming pool) Taekwondo area (Near Snack Bar)For those who are not sure and lost, you can contact our Club secretary Randy at : 97665773

SGDrifters will be coming down on that day to provide questions and advices, at the same time selling the various drifting
kits in the event if some of you had already made up your mind.

Stuffs to bring:
- Yourself
- Your drifting kit (To the people who already had a 1/10 car of their own)
- A sum of money around $300 (To the people who want to purchase their own kits immediately)

Remember! Even if you don't have a car but if you are very interested, we can loan you the club kits during
trainings. However you will not be able to bring them back and it would be best advised to get your own ones
in near future.

Also, our club have our own blog! Trainings and events will be posted on the blog from weekly to monthly.
